Shuichis pov

I stared in shock at ryomas dead body. I couldn't believe it. Who would do such a thing!

"Well done kiddos you finally killed someone!" Monokuma popped up gleefully. "and just in time too. Boy you kids sure know how to keep me on my toes! Now whoever killed ryoma here please raise your hand"

I watched in disbelief as rantaro raised his hand.

"Well well looks like mystary kids the killer!" Monokuma giggled.

"why rantaro?" I said sobbing into his chest "why did you do it? I thought we were friends!"

I petted my head with a gentle smile "I am your friend shuichi and I've done this for a good reason."

"what reason?" I asked through teary eyes.

"I needed to take the first blood perk so I could get help and rescue you all. Ryoma offered to be the victim. He was truly a strong person" rantaro sighed.

"so your not going to abandon us" I said looking at him hopefully.

"I would never abandon you shuichi" he said gently wiping my tears away.

"alright avacado boy let's get moving!" Monokuma said pushing him ahead.

He looked back and smiled at me. I waved back with newfound hope. He's going to save us. I know he will.
