You'll be here until the day you die,' Monokuma's words echoed around my head. This was a joke right? Some sick kind of joke, there was no way we could be held here without consent. I started to panic. As did the majority of your classmates. I looked over at Toko, her eyes were wide and her eyebrows furrowed as she tried to confirm what monokuma said.

I was barely paying attention. No... this wasn't right.. not at all. What was this? The words continued to echo. I came back to reality when "Junko" started to talk again 'Yeah, what the hell? You're saying I have to live here forever? You're screwing with us, right?'

'I am not screwing with you! I am no liar, of that you can be 100% sure. Ah, and just for your information... you're completely cut off from the outside world,' Monokuma started to ramble again.

'Hold on!' I spoke up 'Surely the officials will notice that we've gone,' I held my hands close to my chest while I spoke.

The bear looked at me and laughed 'Puhuhu, you're relying on the police to come save you? Help will not come. So with all that in mind, feel free to live out your life here with reckless abandon!'

Mondo cut in, he was fuming. 'Cut this shit out! It isn't funny anymore!' Monokuma just grew mad at this.

'You keep saying this is a lie, or a joke. A bunch of skeptics, all of you! But, I guess you can't help it, huh? You all grew up in an age where you're taught to doubt your neighbour... well, you'll have plenty of time to find out wether or not what I say is true. You'll be able to see with your own eyeballs that I speak the undeniable truth,'

A girl in a big Lolita maid style dress spoke up 'Having to live here forever would be... quite the problem,'

'Come now. What's the matter with all of you?' He tipped his head to the side. 'You decided of your own free will to attend Hope's Peak Academy, didn't you? And now, before the entrance ceremony is even finished, you've already decided that you want to leave? Oh, but you know... I guess I did forget to mention one thing. There *is* one way for you to leave this school..,' I looked up at the mention of this. 'As headmaster, I've crafted a special clause for those of you who would to leave! I call it... the Graduation clause! Now, let me tell you about this fun little rule. As mentioned, in order to maintain an environment of harmony here, we rely on a communal lifestyle. And if someone were to disrupt that harmony... they and they alone would be allowed to leave the school. That, my students, is the Graduation Clause!'

Everyone fell silent for a moment, no one quite understood what the bear was trying to say. Byakuya looked irritated as he questioned the bear 'What do you mean by "disrupt the harmony"?'

Monokuma raised his arms to his mouth, laughing 'Puhuhu... Well, you know... If one person were to murder another,'

Naegi almost immediately exclaimed 'M-Murder!?'

'Stabbing, strangling, bludgeoning, crushing, hacking, drowning, igniting, how you do it doesn't matter,' you looked down at the floor as monokuma spoke. Normally, you'd be up for something like this but it was all too fishy, and besides, you killed for money and you certainly didn't kill people you had personal connections to. You started to zone out again, lost in your own thoughts. Were you going to die?

You snapped back in when Mondo started to speak again 'Dude, shut the hell up and get outta my way,' he seemed furious, he was almost red from rage. He stood in front of monokuma 'Listen up, asshole! This shit's gone way too far! What the hell kinda joke IS this!?'

Monokuma, seemingly unfazed, answered back to him 'Joke? What, you mean like your hair?'

Mondo started to scream. He jumped up into the air, towards the bear. He pulled the bear into the air, seething with rage. 'Gotcha, you little piece of shit! I dunno if you're a toy or a stuffed animal or whatever the hell! Either way, I'm gonna rip you to fuckin' shreds!'

Monokuma started to flail his arms 'Waah! Violence against the headmaster is in violation of the school regulations!'

'Shut the fuck up! Let me outta here, or I swear to Christ...' he was cut short by an odd beeping sound, seemingly coming from monokuma.

'What the heck is going on?' I muttered as Mondo grew more angry.

'Watch out! Get rid of it!' Kyoko butted in 'Hurry up and throw it!' He listened to her and threw monokuma into the air. Monokuma proceeded to explode, leaving a ringing sound in our ears.

You believed you were safe but then, monokuma popped up again. 'Uwah! There's another one..?' Leon looked petrified. Monokuma explained that it was against the rules and he only got away with a warning... what kind of warning what that? Monokuma then announced gifts for us all.

'This is our official student handbook! Pretty cool, huh? As you can see, it's fully digital. So naturally we call it... The e-handbook,' Monokuma started to explain its uses. Then, he finished 'That brings our enter an extra ceremony to a close! Please enjoy you abundantly dreary school life! And... see ya!' He was gone, vanishing under the stage.

You stood there in utter shock, pretending to listen to your classmates, when you were just spacing out. You started to zone back in. Everyone was still spacing out. Byakuya was talking 'Right now, it doesn't matter if it's real or fake. What matters is... Is there anyone heee who's seriously considering all this?' We all fell silent. None of us were safe... trust here doesn't exist....

We're going to die here...
