Identity V x Danganronpa

Chapter 91 -Trust Lisa or Not?-

     *I thought it would be kind of fun and perhaps surprisingly interesting if I made a short 2-part story about Lucky Guy's decisions. So here you go! But don't worry! It's not the final ending~!*


     Main question: "Should Lucky Guy follow and trust Lisa Beck (A.K.A Emma's other half) or should he not trust Lisa and find a way to escape on his own? YOU CHOOSE!!!"


     Lucky Guy's P.O.V: "?" {To Trust Lisa}

     I should at least give Lisa a chance... After all, there has to be a reason why Lisa was being nice to me all of a sudden.

     "Are we there yet?" I asked hopefully as she took me to another turn. 

     "Almost," was her reply when we kept on walking straight in the middle of the darkness with some chances of light above us. "Almost there."

     "H-how long have you been down here, Lisa?" I asked, deciding it was best to ask some questions. 

     Lisa sighed as we kept on walking. "More like, less than a few hours... Sorry, I don't really check the time."

     "Oh, I see..."

     . . . 

     "Lucky Guy, do you really trust me?" Lisa questioned me strangely without turning to look at me. "I mean... After all the things I've done, I don't see why you could ever trust someone--"

     "I trust you alright!" I lifted a small smile. "Edgar and Freddy taught me a valuable lesson on learning to trust, even though... I'm really stubborn on it," I chuckled nervously. 

     . . . 

     Lisa stared down on the ground when we'd finally reached our destination. "Here it is," she murmured, pointing above us. "Watch your steps, the ladder can sometimes be a bit slippery," she warned.

     Nodding my head, I followed right behind her as we both climbed up the ladder. "Say, Lisa," I began, thinking about something. "Why did you not confess in the 3rd trial? That you're the traitor."

     The gardener sighed. "There is a reason why, but I'll tell you all about it later."

     "Okay..."

     Time passed as we continued almost halfway through the ladder together until... 

     Lisa stopped. 

     
     "Lisa, why did you stop? I asked, wondering how far we've gotten. Surely it might take about another few minutes, right?

     "Lucky Guy..." She hesitated as she looked down at me. "I'm so sorry, but this is what Junko wanted..."

 
     And without warning, she shoved me out of the way, and I lost my grasp as I fell down, down, and down... 



     Until I dropped all the way down on the ground--


     Dead. 



     ...I could not move a single muscle as laughter echoed around me, and my life... Has been slowly taken away by force...




     (Author's note: Ha, ha, ha... Is this what you guys expected? Ooh~ Ouch! Now that's what I called a back-stab-plot-twist, alright! To those who chose that Lucky Guy should trust Lisa, please don't hate me~ But you know, a traitor is always a traitor~ I'm never wrong about that, am I?)

     P.S: If you're going to refer to who was Traitor #2 on the Traitor's meeting (2), that's Emma, NOT Lisa. And you could tell when Bonbon and Emma mentioned 'her' (A.K.A: Lisa). 

     

     Lucky Guy's P.O.V: "?" {To Not Trust Lisa} 


     *Flash* 

     What. Just. Happened. To. Me? 

     Did Lisa actually shove me down out of the ladder to still be with Junko? Wait, why are we still walking again to the ladder? Did... Did something happen that made me start all over again? Was it... Oh my gosh... Time travel? Or was it my imagination...?

     . . . 

     However, why did I have a bad feeling that she's leading me into a trap for some kind of a reason again? Honestly, what is she planning to do to me this time? Shove me down again or were those my insecurities?

     As I followed Lisa who was heading over to the ladder, I stopped following her. 

     "Is something wrong, Lucky Guy?" Lisa turned to glance over at me as she stopped walking as well. "We're almost there, just a little bit more, and--"

     "You're leading me into a trap," I interrupted her, cautiously looking at her. "A traitor like you wouldn't have helped me."

     . . . 

     "Now, what makes you think that?" Her eyes glowed dangerously at me and I could tell that this has to end now...

     Without wasting any more time, I ran away from her in the opposite directions. 

     "Lucky Guy!" She shouted behind me, but we both know it was too pointless. 

     I'd like to go through things my way... 

 
     Running farther away from her, I hesitated as I didn't see a rock in front of me as I ran, and-- "Oof!" I muttered as I fell down onto the ground. Feeling the burns on my legs, I could hear footsteps approaching me as I tried my best to get up...

     . . . 

     "Lucky Guy," Lisa began as she stood in front of me and I could see her dark shadowy figure. "Do you... not trust me?"

     "I...I..."

     "Oh, you poor thing," the gardener glanced down at me. "You're afraid of me, aren't you? You're afraid that... I'll hurt you?"

     "It's not like that--"

     "Tell me something, Lucky Guy~"

     "...What is it?"

     "Why are you running away from me?" 

     "..."

     I honestly don't know what to say! It just... I couldn't stand myself to trust her... I just can't! Who knows what else I'll be trapped in if I followed her... But then again... Was she actually serious that she could help me escape? Or was that all just lies to cover up her true intentions?

     "You know," Lisa sighed. "You were right all along... How clever it was for you to run away from me."

     "Huh?" I paused as I leaned against the wall for support when I stood up. 

     Lisa crossed her arms. "Well, I guess if you don't trust me... Then it's as simple as that...."

     But before I could argue, Lisa grabbed me by my hair, and pushed me just so I could see what my future was going to look like...
