Mizuki's POV

Now Playing - Welcome to Despair Academy

"Mizuki..."

"Are you awake?"

"Are you awake?"

"Leave me alone."

"Still a little groggy, are we?"

"Go away."

"You know it's not healthy to stay in bed like this."

"No. You're not real. You're dead. I saw you die."

"No." She put a cool hand on my cheek. "I'm right here. It's alright, Mizuki."

"Leave me alone! You're not real!" I jerked away from her touch.

"Mizuki...."

"Go away!"

"Mizuki, wake up!"

Now Playing - Despair Syndrome (1)

The creepily soothing voice of a dead woman was replaced by the irritating voice of Monokuma.

I groaned and rolled over in my bed. "Leave me alone."

"Mizuki!"

It's been three days since the last Class Trial.

Three days since Serena died.

As soon as we were allowed to leave the trial room, I went up to my dorm, laid in my bed, and haven't moved since.

I'm so hungry.... but I can't find the motivation to do anything.

My doorbell has been ringing at least once every hour, and eventually even Monokuma took to trying to get me to move.

"Come on, you can't just starve to death!" He growled angrily.

"Says who...?"

"Says ME! Now get up and MOVE!"

I felt a sharp stinging pain on my cheek as Monokuma put emphasis on the last word. The shock forced my eyes open. I sat up, rubbing my cheek as Monokuma shook his paw as if it hurt.
