Danganronpa: A Meaning of Meaning.

Chapter 1: Daily Life(V): Unwelcomed Surprise!

Another day has passed and we're still here

Great.

I wonder if those two were weirded out by me just suddenly leaving last night.

They probably were, huh?

Ugh....

It doesn't help that I couldn't sleep well last night. Who knew having a job that forces you to work at 7 PM to 5 AM everyday while you only get 4 hours of sleep would ruin your sleep schedule...

I guess I've found my explanation on why I spent the last 3 hours staring at the ceiling, while waiting for my phone alarm of 5 AM to turn on so I could get ready for the day.

At least ever since I stopped working at the host club, I've noticed I don't get morning headaches anymore

Speaking of which, I just remembered that I needed to go to my lab now. I wonder just how much left we have that need to do considering I was told to wake up at dawn.

Wiping my tired eyes, I went to the bathroom to get ready for the day before I eventually walked over to my lab.

Thankfully, being too sleepy meant I didn't have the energy to overthink my directions, so I just auto piloted my way to the practice building.

Opening the doors to my lab, I turned on the lights, and was met with...

Absolutely no one there.

I did get here on time right? Her text she sent me before I went to try to sleep told me to meet her around 5:30 AM.

It's now 5:30 AM.

.....

Deciding to wait, I went to sit at one of the tables which were all now covered in cloth.

Leaning my head down on my arms on the table, I could feel all that sleep deprivation I've had all night finally start doing its work.

It's probably fine if I took a power nap, right? I'm used to doing It back at the host club.

It's fine. I can just wake up 5 minutes later. God knows I've slept less.

Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes as I started to fall asleep on the table.

.....

....

..........

Hm?

Why am I hearing people talking?

Feeling like someone just brushed my shoulder, I suddenly woke up from my nap.

"Oh! Sorry, Rei!" I was greeted with Usagi who was busy carrying stuff inside a box that seemed to be several paper plates, and plastic utensils.

"Goddamnit!" I could see Urara stomp the ground, as she angrily gave 2 Kumocoins to Umeko.

"And one minute before 5 PM! I never lose, baby!" Umeko cheered loudly, as she jumped on top of a table to do a celebratory dance for herself.

"For goodness sakes, Ms. Umeko. I'm going to have to unwrinkle those up again." Tsurugi said, looking disappointed at the scene.

Wait?

5 PM?

just... how long was I asleep?

"Good morning, sleeping beauty." Erika greeted me. "How was the nap?"

"I-i...wait what time is It right now??" I asked, panicking.
