I think for a moment and then look him dead in the eye, "to show all those bullies that I am capable of more than they can imagine..." I then smile and tear up, "looks like I'll b-be nicknamed grape juice or s-something instead."
I hear a high pitched voice behind me, "well, you were on tv and they weren't!"
"Monokuma?!" I turn to see a man with a mask on, possibly a voice changer holding a camera.
Rantaro pats my back and laughs, "he's not gonna hurt you or anything."
I hesitate then shakily wave to the camera, "a-about what you said, Miu, K-kaito, and Maki b-bullied me..."
The man steps back and tilts his head, eyes widening, "really?! They seemed so nice!" They probably just really wanted to get in the show

I close my eyes in deep thought and steady my breathing, trying to relax. I wonder what I'm supposed to do after this is all over, will I have to do meet and greet stuff. That could be a disaster, I hope they won't see through my facade, I doubt it could be that hard. I feel something brush against my shoulders and wrap around my neck, then I feel something on my head. I take it off my head and it's-- my hat?
I hear a familiar voice pouting behind me, "turn around already!"
I do as she says and go wide-eyed. Standing before me was D.I.C.E...
