Ultimate Life Or Death Despair Game (Danganronpa THH X Fem! OC)

Chapter 15: Abnormal Behavior

(3rd Person's POV)

Sora ran after Hina to the dorms. The blonde then stopped at Toko's room.

"Took you long enough!" Hina said. "You're so slow, Shirayuki!"

"I just didn't feel like runnin' too much. Takes a lot out of me..." Sora lazily made an excuse.

Paying attention, Sora saw that Makoto and Byakuya were also there.

"So? Now that Shirayuki's here, what's this emergency?" Byakuya inquired.

"Well, after what happened in the girls locker room, we left Fukawa in her room so she could lay down." Hina explained. "After a while, we came back to check on her. Ya know, see how she was doing. But when we did it was weird. She refused to come out, and she kept saying all this weird stuff."

"Weird stuff?" Makoto parroted in confusion.

"We should try talking to her ourselves." Byakuya said.

"Y-Yeah, good idea." Makoto nodded.

Sora shrugged. May as well give it a shot...

Byakuya then pressed the doorbell next to Toko's room.

DING, DONG!

A couple seconds later, the door opened by a crack, slowly and silently.

"..."

Sora's instinctively winced. The moment Toko opened the door, an aura of negativity flowed out from behind the door, which forced a gasp out of Makoto.

"...What?" Toko spoke up.

"Oh, um...nothing." Makoto meekly responded. "It's just that...Hina was really worried about you, holing yourself up in your room..."

Toko scowled. "Leave me a-alone..."

"Um, yeah, sure thing. But...could you open up, just for a second...?" Makoto polity requested.

"...Won't a-allow it..."

"Huh...?"

"I w-won't let Genocide Jack have control!"

SLAM!

And just like that, she slammed the door in Makoto's face.

"Huh. Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed." Sora commented.

"Wh-What was that...?" Makoto asked, still recovering from having the door being slammed right in front of him.

"She's been acting like that the whole time." Hina said. "When I rang a little while ago..."

"I'll d-drive out...the killer... D-Drive out the murderous fiend..."

---

"It doesn't make any sense, right? I was afraid to leave her in there alone, so I tried to bust down her door but it felt like something was holding it shut on the other side." Hina told them "I couldn't even budge it..."

Makoto looked lost in thought. Toko was scared enough to even bar her door...? Does she think the same thing as Byakuya? Does she think the serial killer Genocide Jack really murdered Chihiro? Is that why she's so scared...?

"Whatever it is, I'm really worried about her... Isn't there anyone who might be able to persuade her...?" Hina asked.

"Hey, Togami...you think you could ask her? To come out of her room, I mean." Makoto asked.

A few days ago, Makoto found out that Toko had a crush on the arrogant progeny. If anyone could get her to come out of her room, it's him.

Byakuya sighed, though he nodded soon after. "...Sure, whatever."
