It's dark and cold inside the hole Komaeda fell in. The man still breathes against his wishes. He does not know that as he is still sleeping but he will be upset. 

In the far corner where there is darkness, a creature stares at his body. It smiles slowly and evilly. To them, the underground is about to become interesting with this human here. 

As Komaeda lays on top of the golden flowers sleeping, he has a whole new path waiting for him.

🏵🏵🏵

I open my eyes, a yawn escapes my lips. Wait. I did what and what?! I'm supposed to be dead! Why am I still alive and breathing?! Oh my gosh, I'm such a fuck up I can't even die right! How on earth am I even still alive? 

I look around wherever I am, there's not much light besides these flowers and water. Wait, the flowers! I'm laying on top of them. I quickly scrambled to get up, those poor flowers having filth lay on them. 

Surprisingly, the flowers weren't crushed. Which is weird by science and laws of physics. I bend down and touch one of the flowers, it's soft and very pretty. I always loved pretty things, I hope there's more down here. 

I walk over to the water and then step back. My appearance had changed. Instead of my usual green jacket, black jeans, and zipper shoes, I have on a green and black striped sweater, leggings, and combat boots. 

I miss my zipper shoes, they were nice and very fashionable! I hover back over the water and notice a flower crown on top of my head. It's made out of the same golden flowers I was laying on with one bright red rose in the middle. 

For once I looked appealing, at least to my eyes. Maybe it's because my hair is a little longer and curler than usual. It still looks wild and a bird's nest but in a good way? I wouldn't know and really don't care. 

I didn't dress up for anyone so I wouldn't know if it was common or not. Though I'm assuming I can't just stand here the whole time. This room or area is very pretty but I must keep moving forward! Eh, I sound like that one hallway monitor who used to go to Hope's Peak with me. 

I hesitated at first, but I continued walking down the path even though it was dark. I could feel a doorway as I touched the walls to move around. There's another light in the middle of the area with a person sitting there. 

They turn around, look at me, and then smile. Her smile was very upsetting. She had long beautiful blonde hair, and a tight dress with the golden flowers on it.

"Howdy! I'm Junko. Junko the flower. You're new to the Underground aren'tcha? You must be soooo confused". 

Ok this is weird. Why is there a text box around her dialogue? 

"Yes, yes I am. My name is Nagito Komaeda". "I have a question for you ma'am, you see—".

"Don't worry, your best buddie Junko will explain how it works down here!". 

She completely ignored me. How fucking rude, but who am I to complain. I completely deserve to be ignored like the filthy trash I am. 

Another box pops up, in the middle looks like a heart. Am I on drugs? Is this what the afterlife does to you?

"You see that heart? That's your soul, the very culmination of your being!". 

No shit Sherlock. Everyone who's a living thing has a soul, so I guess I really am alive. 

"Your soul starts off weak, but can grow strong if you gain a lot of LV. What does LV stand for? Why, LOVE of course! You want some LOVE don't you?". 

Ok so this lady is obviously sketchy. Secondly, and excuse me for ever speaking to someone higher than me like this, but this bitch is really taunting me right talking about love. I get it, I'm an affectionate starved person, no need to rub it in my face. 

"Don't worry, I'll share some with you! Down here, LOVE is shared through little white…. 'friendliness pellets'.  Are you ready? Move around and get as many as you can!". 

This is seriously sketchy and clearly a trap. As much as I want to die badly, I want it on my own terms. I hope she doesn't think I'm stupid, I know I look like if but there's more people who looks way dumber than me and is for that fact. 

I walked a few steps away from the 'friendliness pellets' as they were coming at me. Her face scrunches up into a twitch. 

"Hey pal, you missed them. Let's try again okay?". 

I secretly roll my eyes. She really does think I'm dumb. That's really an insult to my perfectly good intelligence, that I don't really use since most people act common. Even the intelligent ones. 

She throws the pellets out again and I dodge them. Her face is even more annoyed than before. 

"Is this a joke? Are you fucking brain dead? Run. Into. The. Bullets!".

I fucking knew it! She was trying to kill me after all. What a bitch, killing someone you just met for no reason. 

She throws them out one last time, once again I dodge them. Her face turns blank and she starts laughing. At first it sounded light hearted, before it started to grow and sounded more hysterical.

"You know what's going on here, don't you? You just wanted to see poor Junko suffer. It doesn't matter anyways. In this world, it's either KILL or BE KILLED".

I internally sigh, and I thought I was crazy. What the hell does 'kill or be killed' mean? There's no way she's serious—

She laughs as her face twists into this creepy jack-o-lantern looking face. "Die". 

Suddenly, I'm surrounded by pellets and I can't dodge them. God damn it. How on earth did I fuck up like this. 

"Now Ms.Junko can't we just talk about this? I'm sure there's just a misunderstanding". 

She raises her eyebrow before laughing. "You really think I'll spare you? You must be out of your god damn mind". Her laugh is now hysterical as the pellets start closing in. 

I start sweating, welp at least I'm drying? While I prefer to do it myself I guess this can do as well. 

As the pellets close in, they dissapear and I let out a sigh of relief. I look up and Junko is getting hit with a fireball?! My eyes widen as the person walks into view. 

"What a terrible creature, torturing such a poor innocent youth". The lady then turns to me, "Do not be afraid, my child, I am Chisa, caretaker of the ruins". 

I blink in shock. This lady is absolutely beautiful but hairy. Does she have fur somehow? Can humans do that? Actually stupid question no they can't, so what the hell is going on here?

Merry Christmas folks! Please enjoy this
