'Byakuya, I'm going to sleep in my room tonight,' I looked up as I held his hands.

'As long as you're safe,' He smiled softly before leaning down and kissing my forehead. I felt my cheeks burn.

'Goodnight,' I awkwardly looked down.

'Stop getting so flustered. Now get some rest, we'll have a new floor to explore tomorrow,' He let go of my hands as he smiled and walked into his dorm and I walked into mine.

I closed the door behind me, my cheeks burning Scarlett red. Of course, this wasn't the first time he was kissed me, but still, it made me so giddy and gave me butterflies in my stomach. I sighed as I pulled the item out of my pocket. It was the key Kyoko had given me. Use it on any door, huh?

I laid down on my bed, staring up at the ceiling and drifting off into thought. When I was sure everyone would be asleep I would leave my room and see what this key can really open. If Kyoko thought it was important, it probably was.

After what must have been several hours, I climbed out of my bed, slipping on my shoes before leaving my dorm room. I walked down the hallway pondering what doors I could try to enter. I arrived at the gates that blocked off a set of stairs along the hallway with the storage room. I slipped the key into the lock, turning it slowly before I heard a click. The gate clicked and I tried to lift it up, succeeding. However, it had been broken so I would have to leave it closed. To stay safe and avoid Monokuma, I took the key with me and went under the gate and up the stairs.

What the hell happened here? It looks as if a bomb went off or something worse. It was as if they were ancient ruins that were decaying. There's even pools of dried blood on the floor... and it reeks like hell. But, there seem to be some dorm rooms up here.

One of them is blocked. The other one, opened easily.

Inside was a mess. Cracked walls, bloodied floors, peeling wall paper, stained beds. It was disgusting and horrid. There isn't much in here, but it's horrid.

As I looked at some of the walls I he hallway, I noticed a spray paint of the eye of Horus. If I remember correctly, it was painted for Egyptian ships to have safe travels, but why would that be here of all places? I can't remember everything Junko did, but, holy heck.

I walked through a door with another drawing on it and ended up in a locker room. I immediately recognised it as my first year locker room, when I was in class 77. The lockers were broken and torn with metal plates boarded over them. I tried to open the lockers, but, of course, they have card readers. It seemed none of them belonged to me, or at least, the ones that were accessible. Feeling a strong aura of unease, I left the room, walking back down the corridor before arriving at a large wooden door.

Whatever this room was, it was fancy. I made my way over to the PC, looking at the files it had open. 'ultimate despair' I muttered as I looked at the screen. Seeing nothing else of interest, I left the room. The person it belonged to was searching for info on what happened a year ago, the tragedy.

I sighed before I returned to my room. Maybe Kyoko knew what the room was and how to unlock more of the secrets. But, I still have no idea how I'm going to get down there. I don't want to actually have to go down the trash chute. Only if it's the only option. I really hope it isn't.

I sighed as I laid in my bed, hugging the pillow close to me. I wish I had stayed with Byakuya, maybe I wouldn't have felt as alone as I did now.

I closed my eyes and turned over as I drifted off to sleep.

'Junko. Why am I stuck here, in this dumb school? Why not let me go with the other despairs?' I protested against her.

'It's all for one reason. To plunge the world into despair,' She laughed 'You being here, will help spread the despair,'

'But you told me not to kill any of them. How can I bring despair then?' I pondered.

'Despair doesn't just come from death! It comes from pain and longing. Besides, your job isn't until later into this game,' She grinned.

'Junko, didn't you want her to capture someone though?' Mukuro looked at her sister.

'Who told you you could talk?' She yelled before turning to me. 'When I tell you too, I need you to kidnap the principal and lead him into the underground tunnels,'

'Where she died?'

'Yas! Perfect! You're already catching on!' She laughed.

'Alright. I will do as you say,' I smiled and felt a crazed look emerge in my eyes. Why was I getting my memories at dreams? Is this just another way of Junko trying to lead me into despair?

How can I stop her from doing this to anyone else?
