Part 96: Chapter 4 Daily Life, Part 12


Kyoko walked ahead in silence...and in silence, I chased her. And eventually, we arrived...
: The dressing room...!? So the 'something else' you mentioned...!
: That's right. It has to do with Alter Ego.
: But...you said we didn't need Alter Ego anymore.
: I didn't say we didn't need him. I just said he had done his job. Besides, it's not us that needs Alter Ego. *He* has business with *us*.
: Huh...?
: Alter Ego asked me to bring others to come see him. Apparently he has something he wants to ask us.
Alter Ego...wants to ask us something?
Danganronpa: ...Hello. Oh, um...so it's just the two of you? Kyoko and Makoto?
Kyoko's fingers glided across the keyboard.
> 'Is two not enough?'
: No, it's okay! Two should be plenty.
: But what is it he wants to ask us?
: Let's find out, shall we?
Kyoko typed in the question.
> 'What did you want to ask us?'
: Oh yeah, so... I'd like you to take me somewhere where you can connect me to the school network.
: ...What?
Kyoko and I quickly glanced at each other. She replied...
> 'Why?'
: Well, um... You said my job was done, right? But...to just stop here... Saying I've finished my work...
: I don't want that! I want to keep being helpful to everyone. I want to work as hard as everyone else so that we can all get out of here!
: That's...what Master would want, too. So...to help everyone else... To solve the mystery of this school...
: The only way I can help is if you connect me to this school's network!
: B-But...if you did that...that's basically suicide. I'm positive the mastermind would find out about it. They'd find you, and they'd... You agree, right Kyoko?
: ...
: I realize how dangerous it could be. But still...I have to do this.
: I'm scared, but...I can handle it. I...don't really understand why, but...
: When I think about everyone else, my courage starts to grow...! You might think I'm just some inhuman AI, but it's true! So...it's okay. If it's for the sake of everyone else, I won't be afraid!
I couldn't help but get lost in that voice... It was just too committed... Too admirable... Too...fragile.
: You remember what you asked before, Makoto? You asked what the difference is between a person and a program, right?
: Y-Yeah...
: When I talk to Alter Ego, I don't know... I have no idea how to answer that question. I think maybe that's a question even the program's creator can't answer. But I can say this...
: There's no question that Alter Ego is our friend.
: Kyoko...
: To be honest, I didn't want Alter Ego to push himself anymore. Because if we take any more risks, the mastermind really will notice it... But...
: Let's do it, Makoto. Let's connect Alter Ego to the network.
: B-But...!
: He's our friend, so I want to take his feelings into consideration. And he says that he wants to fight alongside his friends.
: If you were in his place, could you just sit by and do nothing in this situation? If you saw everyone else fighting and doing their best, could you just look the other way? Or would you stand up? Stand up tall next to everyone else and tell them you're their friend?
: ...
: Hey, are you guys...fighting? If it's about me, please don't.
: I...I want to believe in myself. I want to be able to say, 'I know I can do this.'
: So please...let me try!
: ...
: And besides...there's one place where the mastermind might not notice...
: One place...?
: Remember? There's another place besides here where there's no surveillance camera.
A room without a surveillance camera...
> The secret room
: That's it! The secret room you told me about...!
: I definitely remember there was no surveillance camera in there.
: And I do believe you can connect to the network from there. I remember seeing an ethernet port on the wall.
: However, just because there's no camera there, doesn't mean there's no danger. There's no way to be sure the mastermind isn't monitoring the network somehow. We'll also have to move Alter Ego, and the mastermind may spot us going into the secret room. If they pick up on any of this, then...it's all over.
: You're right...
: But despite all that, I still think we need to try. Because that's our best chance of finding any new clues.
: ... Kyoko... In that case...will you let me carry him? There's no way you could hide him with what you're wearing, right? So let me do it.
: Okay then, I'll leave it to you. ...Thank you.
: Then let's get started. It's gonna be a little cramped for you, Alter Ego. Bear with us, okay?
We started packing him up right away. I closed the laptop and stuffed it underneath my jacket.
: Ahaha! I-It tickles!
: Shh! You can't talk right now! We're going to move you to another room. Until we get there, you have to be absolutely silent, okay?
: Understood. Your command has been implemented.
: G-Good...
To have him react like a machine like that all of a sudden... I didn't know how to react.
: In the secret room, there are a bunch of different cables in one of the desk drawers.
: So there might be a network cable in there?
: Assuming the mastermind hasn't taken it already...
: Well, all we can do is go and check for ourselves.
: Agreed. Let's head to the secret room...
: One quick trip later...
: Hey, Makoto...
: Are you sure all the documents are gone? I refuse to believe you! Go and check again!
: What...?
: Just hurry up and go! And to make sure you don't run off, I'm gonna wait right here!
Oh, I get it--she's acting... She was so forceful, I thought I'd made her mad again somehow...
: Why are you just standing there? Hurry up and go!
: O-Okay, okay, I'm going...
: And be thorough. I'm counting on you.
Okay! First we have to find a network cable...
According to Kyoko, there should be a bunch of cables in this drawer. Hmm...
: Found it! This is a network cable, right? Now we just have to connect Alter Ego!
I immediately got to work. I pulled out the laptop and connected it to the ethernet port with the cable.
: And that should do it...!
: Umm...
: Yeah! I think it worked!
: Just leave the rest to me! I swear I'll find something! I might even be able to connect to the outside world. If I can, I'll see if I can call for help!
: So please just wait a little while longer...
: Just hold tight and put your faith in me!
As I was about to leave, I decided to leave him with one last thing...
> 'No matter what, we're gonna get out of here! You and all the rest of us, as friends!'
: Friends...? Even...me?
: Thank you. Thank you, Makoto...
: How'd it go?
: Well... It went...okay. But all the, um, documents were gone. Just like I told you...
My reply was an unintentional mix of acting and real feelings.
: I see... Then there's nothing left for us here.
: Goodbye. *begins to leave*
Before I knew it, Kyoko was walking away. She wasn't acting anymore, that much was for sure.
: Ah--Kyoko!
: Yes?
: Um...so we're just gonna split up?
: Of course. I have no reason to stay with you at this point.
: Well...maybe, but...isn't that a little too...direct?Happy
: Should I hesitate and fumble for something to say? You're so high-maintenance...
: Th-That's not what I meant... I just...had more I wanted to talk to you about. Like, what are you going to do about Sakura?
: Well...something has to be done, it's true.
: But the way things are right now, there's no way to persuade anyone. They don't have the mind to listen.
: Then what should we...?
: If we can find some new clue, that would likely change the situation. That's all we can hope for right now.
Which is why Alter Ego...
: All we can do is wait, and believe in our friends.
You're right... That's our only option.
We parted ways, and I headed back to my room.

: ... I'm kinda...tired...
So I laid down in bed. Maybe it was because of the stress of moving Alter Ego, but I was way more tired than I realized. So before long at all...
...I had completely dozed off.

4 July 2013
After winning a special lottery, Makoto Naegi, an average student, enrolls at the prestigious Hope's Peak Academy for talented high school students. The moment Makoto steps inside the school grounds, however, he falls unconscious and later wakes up in a classroom littered with security cameras and steel plates. Following a note's instruction to assemble in the gym, Makoto finds fourteen other unique students in a similar situation, including a school idol from his old middle school, Sayaka Maizono. It is at this point that the self-proclaimed headmaster, a remote-controlled bear named Monokuma, appears before them, announcing that the students will be staying in the school for the rest of their lives and can only 'graduate' by killing another student. Rejecting this idea, the students spend the next few days searching the school grounds to try to find an alternative exit. Deciding everyone needs a motive to kill, Monokuma shows each student a personalized DVD motivating them to try to escape at any cost; in Makoto's case, a video of his family being put in danger. As Sayaka is also unnerved by the contents of her video, Makoto tries to calm her down, promising that he will find a way to get both of them out.

11 July 2013
After learning from Monokuma about the faulty door on his bedroom's shower room, Makoto is approached by Sayaka, who states she is afraid that someone may be after her, and offers to switch rooms with her to put her at ease. The next day, however, Makoto is horrified to discover Sayaka lying dead in his shower room, stabbed in the stomach with a kitchen knife. As Makoto becomes angered by this tragic turn of events, Monokuma explains that one of the students is responsible for her murder and they must judge for themselves who the killer is in a 'class trial'. If the class can successfully determine the guilty party, that person alone will be executed, but if they guess wrong, the killer will be set free and everyone else will be put to death. When fashionista Junko Enoshima voices her objection and assaults Monokuma, she is impaled to death by spears as punishment, warning the other students what will happen if they don't follow the rules. After the students' electronic handbooks are updated with details about the murder, Makoto is immediately made a prime suspect when it is shown Sayaka had died in his room. The students begin their investigation, making notes of all the evidence they find, including a message written in Sayaka's blood reading '11037'. Before the trial begins, Makoto finds Sayaka's motivational DVD, which reveals that her fellow members in an idol group were all killed by Monokuma, who would only explain why if she managed to graduate. As the students head for the courtroom, Makoto receives cryptic words of advice from the mysterious Kyoko Kirigiri.

As the trial begins, swimmer Aoi Asahina testifies that she and martial artist Sakura Ogami witnessed Sayaka enter the kitchen, during which the kitchen knife used in the murder went missing. Meanwhile, Kyoko proves Makoto's innocence by pointing out that, since the boys' shower rooms don't have locks, he wouldn't have needed to dismantle his own doorknob to enter the shower room. After wondering how the culprit entered the room in the first place, Kyoko presents evidence which reveals Sayaka had purposely invited someone into the room in order to murder them and pin the crime on Makoto, only to wind up as the victim herself. Remembering the message written in blood, Makoto deduces that '11037' is an upside down spelling of 'LEON' and accuses baseball star Leon Kuwata of the crime. His guilt is further proven by the method of which the culprit attempted to dispose of the evidence, his blood-stained shirt, in a manner only capable of a baseball star. When it is deduced that he must have used his tool set to take apart the doorknob, Leon is unanimously voted as the guilty culprit and is executed by Monokuma with a barrage of baseballs. Later that night, Kyoko consoles Makoto by theorizing that Sayaka may have written her dying message in order to protect him.

25 July 2013
Following the first class trial, Monokuma grants access to the second floor of the academy, containing a library and a swimming pool with gender-divided changing rooms. Whilst searching the library, the group find a broken laptop and a letter that claims Hope's Peak Academy has been shut down for a while, along with a storeroom filled with confidential files. Later, Makoto comes across writer Toko Fukawa, who has a crush on the cold-hearted affluent progeny, Byakuya Togami, before winding up as a witness to a sauna endurance battle between biker Mondo Owada and hall monitor Kiyotaka Ishimaru, who end up bonding with each other as a result. Soon after, Monokuma announces his next incentive, stating he will publicly announce everyone's personal secrets unless someone is killed in the next 24 hours. The next day, the students discover programmer Chihiro Fujisaki murdered in the girl's changing room, hung up like a crucifixion with the words 'Bloodbath Fever' written in blood on the wall. During the investigation, some peculiarities are found, such as a seemingly disappearing coffee stain and curiously unfitting posters, along with a testimony by gambler Celestia Ludenberg that she saw Chihiro the night before. Byakuya tells Makoto that he believes the murder to be the work of Genocider Sho, a serial killer who crucified victims in a similar fashion. Meanwhile, Toko locks herself in her room, also mentioning something about Genocider Sho and failing to keep a promise to Byakuya.

1 August 2013
As the second trial begins, Byakuya states that Toko is the culprit as she has dissociative identity disorder, her other personality being none other than Genocider Sho. When Toko faints under the pressure, her personality switches to that of Genocider who, despite casually admitting she is a genuine homicidal maniac, denies killing Chihiro, as she always uses scissors in her serial killings. Being the only other one who knew of Genocider's crimes, Byakuya is suspected of the crime, curiously not denying it. However, after Makoto deduces Chihiro was actually killed in the boy's changing room, with Kyoko subsequently revealing Chihiro was, contrary to everyone's belief, not a girl but, in fact, a crossdressing boy, Byakuya admits he is not the killer and had only modified the crime scene to make the game more interesting. As Celestia gives her testimony about seeing Chihiro carry a sports bag containing a jersey the night before, Mondo accidentally lets slip that he knew what color the jersey was, eventually admitting he is the culprit. After the guilty verdict, Monokuma reveals that Chihiro had come to Mondo, revealing his true gender, in the hopes he could help him become stronger. Mondo, who had been keeping secret the fact that he was responsible for his brother's death in order to keep his gang together, became jealous of Chihiro's strength and killed him in a fit of rage, moving his corpse to the girl's changing room and destroying his e-handbook to protect his honor. Lamenting his actions, Mondo is put through his execution, in which he is spun around in a motorcycle death cage until liquified into butter, leaving Kiyotaka mortified. Meanwhile, Monokuma is seen talking with an unknown person, discussing the mysterious sixteenth student of the academy.

After the others investigate the newly opened third floor, containing a rec room, an art room and a physics lab, Monokuma announces his next incentive: a cash reward of 10 billion yen to whoever graduates, though nobody seems to fall for it. Afterwards, the gang discover a laptop, which Chihiro had left behind in the bath locker room, containing an A.I. program called Alter Ego who offers to help decrypt some files left on the laptop. When Kiyotaka asks Alter Ego if he blames him for Chihiro's death, he imitates Mondo to give him words of encouragement, proving a bit too successful. Alter Ego then shows a curious photo of Leon, Chihiro, and Mondo hanging together, which could not have possibly been taken during the time they've known each other. After Kyoko takes precautions following some unhealthy interests from both Kiyotaka and doujin artist Hifumi Yamada, Alter Ego suddenly goes missing, leading Byakuya to suspect that there may be a mole amongst their group. The next morning, Makoto, Kyoko, Aoi, and Sakura encounter Celestia, who claims to have been attacked by someone in a robot costume who took Hifumi hostage. After finding an injured Hifumi in the library and taking him to the infirmary, the gang split into groups to search for the perpetrator. While Byakuya's group chase after the perpetrator, Makoto's group returns to the infirmary and discovers Hifumi lying in a pool of blood, with Monokuma's 'corpse discovery' announcement suggesting he has been killed. Makoto rushes to inform the other group in the physics lab storage, where he discovers Kiyotaka has been killed as well. Upon returning to the infirmary, the group find Hifumi's body has gone missing, later discovering Kiyotaka's body has also disappeared. Discovering the bodies in the art supply room, Hifumi seemingly comes back to life, stating he may have met everyone before and leaving behind the name 'Yasuhiro' before passing away, at which point the 'corpse discovery' alert plays for a second time.

15 August 2013
Hifumi's dying words leave most of the students convinced that the culprit is fortune teller Yasuhiro Hagakure, who is found by Kyoko near the pool stuck inside the aforementioned robot costume. Yasuhiro denies committing any murders, claiming he was knocked out after being called by a note, which had subsequently gone missing. After Makoto and Kyoko finish their investigation of the crime scene, the class trial begins. Makoto starts vouching for Yasuhiro's innocence, using evidence to point out he couldn't have designed the outfit, let alone carry the corpses whilst wearing it. After Kyoko asks the court to consider the two murders as separate incidents, Makoto deduces that Hifumi had only faked his death from before, with Kyoko's evidence revealing Hifumi was the one who killed Kiyotaka, moving his body to the art supply closet, where he himself was killed. Tasked with finding the true culprit behind both murders, Makoto accuses Celestia of the crime, as she knew there was a second victim before it was announced. As Celestia grows defensive and brings up Hifumi's dying words again, Makoto deduces that the 'Yasuhiro' he was referring to was actually Celestia's real name, Taeko Yasuhiro. Accepting defeat, Celestia reveals that she stole Alter Ego to coerce Hifumi into killing Kiyotaka under the premise that they would escape together, before killing him herself in the hope of winning the reward money and buying a castle. Leaving Kyoko with the key to Alter Ego's location, Celestia is put through a Versailles-style witch burning before being run over by a speeding fire truck. After the trial, Kyoko has Makoto investigate a hidden room behind the boy's toilets, where he finds a whole bunch of confidential records and a note reading 'You must not escape from here'. However, he is suddenly knocked out by a mysterious assailant, discovering all of the files missing when he regains consciousness. Whilst returning to his room, Makoto spots Sakura and Monokuma squaring off against each other in the gymnasium.

Makoto overhears that Sakura had been forced to become Monokuma's mole as he took her family dojo hostage. As Makoto feels he should not jump to conclusions until he has talked to Sakura, Kyoko becomes annoyed with him for keeping secrets from her. After exploring the fourth floor, containing some locked rooms that Monokuma forbids breaking into, the gang catch up with Alter Ego, who reports that Hope's Peak Academy was placed under lockdown due to a terrible incident that occurred, theorizing that the school's true headmaster may be behind it. He also discovers another strange photo, this time of Sayaka, Celestia, and Hifumi together. Afterwards, Monokuma announces to everyone that Sakura is the mole, who was ordered to kill someone in exchange for her dojo's safety, hoping to bring about another murder amongst the group. As Aoi becomes angered by the mean words said about Sakura, she ends up getting into a scrape with Genocider, leaving Sakura angered that innocent people got involved. Meanwhile, Alter Ego asks Makoto and Kyoko, who forgives Makoto for keeping quiet about Sakura, to take him somewhere where he can connect to the school network so he can find a way to help the students escape. Despite knowing the risks involved, Makoto and Kyoko respect his wishes and set him up in the hidden room from before. Later, Makoto, Kyoko, and Aoi discover Sakura dead in the rec room, which has been locked from the inside. As Kyoko conducts her investigation, Aoi directs her anger towards Byakuya, Toko, and Yasuhiro, feeling one of them is responsible for Sakura's death.

29 August 2013
Following an investigation in the chemics lab, the class trial begins. Toko reveals she, Byakuya, and Yasuhiro all received notes from Sakura calling them to the rec room, where she had witnessed Yasuhiro attack Sakura with a glass bottle out of fear. However, Yasuhiro being the culprit is ruled out when Makoto reveals Sakura had been hit twice. This second hit is revealed to have come from Toko after she had passed out from seeing Sakura's bloody forehead and became Genocider, hitting her with another bottle. As this is also revealed to have not been the killing blow, Byakuya reveals that the actual cause of death was poison, presenting a bottle of poison whose contents were replaced with protein shake. Aoi then announces that she herself is the culprit, claiming that she had replaced Sakura's protein shake with poison and gave it to her. However, Makoto and Kyoko's analysis of the 'closed room' scenario, along with a piece of glass found in the poison bottle Byakuya presented, reveal that Aoi had only been hiding the fact that Sakura had actually committed suicide. As the trial comes to an end, Aoi reveals she had purposely tried to steer the trial to a wrong verdict, believing from a suicide note that Sakura was suffering and feeling everyone deserved to die to make up for it. Monokuma subsequently reveals the note she read was a fake he had made, with Sakura's real suicide note stating that she took her own life to save her dojo, stating her wish for everyone else to make it out of the academy alive. Although the others feel encouraged by Sakura's dying wishes, Monokuma then reveals he had caught Alter Ego trying to hack into the school network and destroys his laptop with a digger. Later that night, Kyoko has Makoto distract Monokuma while she does some investigating of her own, later warning him about the academy's sixteenth student and Super High School Level Despair: Mukuro Ikusaba.

5 September 2013
After the group explore the fifth and final floor, containing a botanical garden and a classroom filled with blood, Byakuya questions Kyoko about her identity, but she states she doesn't remember due to amnesia. As Byakuya dismisses this idea and confiscates Kyoko's room key, Makoto is given the responsibility of looking after a survival knife that Toko found. Later that night, Kyoko, who had managed to obtain a mysterious key and the details about Mukuro from the headmaster's office thanks to Sakura breaking down the door, asks Makoto to keep Monokuma occupied while she goes off to investigate the dorm building's second floor. As Makoto comes down with a fever as a result of staying up all night, he has a dream stating he is supposed to stay in Hope's Peak Academy instead of escape from it, before witnessing a masked person wielding the survival knife, followed by Kyoko telling him something he can't hear. Waking up the next morning to discover the knife he had been keeping has gone missing, Makoto heads to the gym where everyone else is disassembling a broken down Monokuma unit. Whilst looking for a way to break into the headmaster's office for answers, the group discover a corpse in the botanical garden resembling the masked attacker Makoto saw. Before they can remove the mask and identify the victim, a bomb goes off, torching the corpse and leaving it unidentifiable by the time they put the fire out. Finding a key to the data processing room, the group are confronted by a fully working Monokuma, who reveals all their actions are being broadcast live to the outside world. To make matters worse, a class trial is to be held for the corpse they found, which is revealed by Kyoko, who is alive and well, to be that of Mukuro Ikusaba.

12 September 2013
Before the class trial, after Byakuya has Makoto investigate Kyoko's room, Kyoko tells Makoto that the key she found is a master key that can open any door in the school. As the trial begins, Byakuya accuses Kyoko, who has no alibi for Mukuro's death, while she curiously brings up evidence that effectively negates Makoto's alibi. Believing the cause of Mukuro's death to be a blow to the back of the head, Byakuya deduces the weapon was some steel arrows found in a dojo locker, the key to which was discovered in Kyoko's room. Although this appears to be contradicted by the fact Byakuya had the key to Kyoko's room the entire time, Makoto considers the possibility that Kyoko could have used the master key she stole from Monokuma. Noticing her desperation that she not be found guilty, Makoto decides to place his faith in Kyoko and not expose her, instead questioning the odd nature of the trial. However, Monokuma suddenly declares an abrupt end to the trial, declaring Makoto to be the culprit and deciding to have him executed. Before Makoto can be killed by a crusher, a virus left behind by Alter Ego stops the crusher and allows Makoto to fall safely into a garbage dump below. Some time later, Kyoko throws herself down the garbage chute to rescue Makoto, providing him with food and a means of escape, explaining how the mastermind had originally intended for Makoto to become the victim, planning to frame her for the murder and have her executed instead. Whilst making their way up a giant ladder, Kyoko states she has regained some of her memories, revealing herself to be the Super High School Level Detective who had come to Hope's Peak Academy to meet her father, the headmaster, who she is not on good terms with. Arriving back inside the academy, Makoto and Kyoko confront Monokuma, calling his bluff that simply executing Makoto again would not prove that hope cannot defeat despair. Thus, they propose a final all-or-nothing class trial with everyone's lives on the line, in which the students must not only determine Mukuro's killer, but also solve all of Hope's Peak Academy's secrets.

After being granted access to all previously locked rooms, Makoto and Kyoko investigate the dorm's second floor and find a hidden room in the headmaster's lodge. There, they discover the remains of Kyoko's father, who had died long before the killing game started, along with an SD Card containing video interviews of all the students agreeing to spend their lives in Hope's Peak Academy, although Monokuma pulls the plug before the video gets too far. Whilst Kyoko deals with the revelation that her father cared more about her than she thought, Makoto uses the headmaster's e-handbook to open some lockers, finding some textbooks allegedly belonging to Yasuhiro and a notebook containing Kyoko's handwriting, hinting at there being two 'Despair' students. Afterwards, Makoto visits the science lab, being used as a morgue, noticing some curious wounds on Mukuro's body before Monokuma gives him a photo featuring all sixteen students except for himself. As the class trial soon begins, with Monokuma joining the fray, the other students reveal they had also received similar photos, only with them missing from their respective photos. Wondering where these photos came from, Makoto reveals the books he found, deducing they are each missing some of their memories, revealed to have been stolen by Monokuma. Makoto then accuses Monokuma of murdering Mukuro, deducing that Mukuro was murdered twice, pointing out the true cause of death were wounds eerily matching the ones Junko received. After Kyoko proves her innocence by revealing the shameful burns on her hands, Makoto deduces from Monokuma's obscured evidence the identity of the culprit, Monokuma's controller, and the academy's mastermind to be none other than the real Junko Enoshima, who soon appears and reveals herself to be the true Super High School Level Despair.

Junko reveals that she had used Mukuro, her older twin sister, to take her place, before showing the others footage of the outside world, revealing it to be in total chaos. This is confirmed by Genocider, who retained her memories as they are kept separate from Toko's, with Junko subsequently revealing that the memories that were stolen from the students were actually of two whole years spent together in Hope's Peak Academy. A year ago, when 'The Tragedy' hit the world, the school was converted into a shelter to protect the students carrying hope on their shoulders. However, Junko killed the headmaster, erased the students' memories, and began the killing game, betraying her own sister in the process. Junko then holds a final vote between hope and despair; if everyone votes for hope, they must leave the academy, but should even one student vote in favor of despair, the students will remain in the academy and Makoto alone will be executed. Makoto manages to use his own hope to inspire the others to stand up against despair, earning him the new title of Super High School Level Hope. With the trial over, Junko revels herself in the ultimate despair and gives herself the ultimate execution, leaving behind an escape switch. With hope in their hearts, Makoto and the others use the switch to leave the academy and venture into the unknown world, unaware that Monokuma is still active.
