*Cough, cough*

A wheezing, grating sound was heard by none as the rain poured down. It muffled her annoying pleads for air. The oxygen refusing to fill her lungs. She had been running, was still running.

‘If they find me I’m dead.’

That singular thought is what pushed her aching muscles to keep moving. To keep running. In all honesty she was never the type to run. She was very much a doer. A solver, an investigator. And what she found this time would put the whole world in danger if she didn’t tell.

‘I have to find someone, anyone.’

She was amateur at best. Maybe that’s why she was being chased. Heck, she didn’t understand half of the stuff she found.

‘Experimentation? Ultimate Hope? Mother Goose Project? And what does it have to do with Hajime? What does it have to do with Class 77-B? Where is Emi? Is she alright? Oh my lord, is she dead? They shouldn’t chase after her, she’s not an Ultimate, but then neither am I. Maybe they’re going after me because I know some or maybe because I know about everything else. I wish I could have stopped it. If I knew it was going to divulge into this, I would have stopped it. No, no, this is what I want.’

She kept running, faster and faster, she was almost at the gate. She grabbed the sides and climbed. Like a madman, like her life depended on it. Because it does, because in the distance you could see the herd of reserve course students coming for her. She barely made it over the fence when they banged on it.

The fall wasn’t that far, yet it was far enough to cause a sprain. Limping towards freedom, towards civilization, to tell all that was found, hope was crushed. Stand there haughtily, was a tall 5’10 figure, donned in red, black, and white. An eerie smile creeping on her face as she watched you fall. Legs having prematurely given out, as they thought you were safe. As you thought you were safe. She’s laughing to herself. The crowd on the other side of the fence was now surrounding you. She stopped herself once every exit was closed off by the crowd. You still on the floor heaving and she comes and steps on your back, digging her heel into your spine. You see her face and freeze. She looks absent, like the horrors she inflicted don’t bother her. Neither a smile nor frown paints her features. She looks bored. Portraying and having absolute power over you in this moment should invoke some kind of emotion and yet she looks bored. Then as if breaking from a trance a smile snaps on her face. She leans down so you can see her better. Then starts speaking in a nasally, babyish voice.

“And you thought you were so clever. Phu hu hu! You’re an idiot, the worst of the worst. An untalented piece of scum. A poor cowering sheep. But I do have to give you credit. I couldn’t have done it without you. You saw all the weird stuff happening around you and did nothing. You knew something was going on but you didn’t do anything about until it was too late. You could have easily prevented all of this if you just tried to open your mouth. I mean you are the only reserve course student with power. This is all your fault!”

She was cheesing the whole time. Dread seeped into your bones as your spine continued to slowly crack under the pressure of her fat foot.

“It’s not all my fault. So what if I had decided to say something. And it’s not like there was any reason to believe it was foul play. And it’s not like anything would have changed.”

She stopped, raising her foot and letting you breathe for a second. Only to slam her foot down on your back again, breaking your ribs under the pressure and fracturing your spine.

“Are you stupid? You’re an idiot must be. To never understand others envy of you or your own power. No, you knew and didn’t use it. Not that I’m mad. It’s better for me. I’m glad you were stupid. Because of you my plan went off without a hitch. Not that I had any doubts. But you did help, so I gave you a small mercy. A head start if you will. I hoped you enjoyed it, your face of despair was delightful, but it’s time for us to move on. To better, to more exciting despair.”

She hops off your back leaving you to die out in front of the school. To be watched by your classmates as you writhe in your last moments of life.

‘Fuck. I’m going to die. There’s no point. I tried so hard for nothing. I wish I could have helped. I wish I did help. There was so much going on that I let slide. If only I helped. If only I acted the moment this were getting out of hand. I could’ve saved them. All of them. I could’ve stopped her. Why. Why? WHY?”

Tears stream down your face as your breath comes to a painful slow. The rain beats heavy on your face, as if to drag you down where you “belong”.

‘If only I did something. If only I didn’t sit around and wait. Things would have been different.’

Sluggishly you move forward. Pained breaths ring loud in your ear, as you struggle to move forward. Even just a bit. To make a difference, one you didn’t have the heart to do before.

“Please. Please!”

Weak pleas escape but you can no longer move nor speak. Blood fills your lungs and mouth giving you moments to spare.

‘I want to save my friends! I wish I could save my friends. If only I could save my friends.’

And that’s the last thought she had. As she choked on her own blood the life in her eyes and the hope in her heart died.

Now Entering the world of the Danganronpa Anime

“I’ll help you fulfill your wish.”

Following @/mistyghostzzz's ask about Taemi's role in Class 77-B and the Remnants of Despair, how did she fall into despair anyways? Was she manipulated and corrupted by having any weaknesses of hers exploited and taken advantage of by Junko or was she hypnotized/mind controlled into it via the despair video and if the latter's the case, in what method was that done in: watching the student council murder each other, being lobotomized like Chisa, or watching Chiaki die from her execution alongside the rest of Class 77)?

I haven't watched the anime nor played SDR2 but I can still say that she would be mind controled into it all by the despair video, more specifically Chiaki's execution alongside Class 77-B, simple but pratical. (I actually plan on drawing some anime screenshots with her so I might as well try to draw that scene.)

Top 10 characters that deserved to survive danganronpa

[ Huge spoiler warning for all the games! Reminder this is my personal opinion, take it or leave it ]

10. Peko Pekoyama

Peko’s execution had to be one of the most painful executions of all the danganronpa games- even though it wasn’t very physically painful, the fact that she hurt the person she cared about most (Fuyuhiko) without wanting to, is what hurt the most. I didn’t really have enough time to get attached to her, however I really liked her personality and she deserved better.

9. Kaede Akamatsu

I’m not a huge fan of Kaede, her character was kinda bland and very similar to Makoto’s, her design was underwelming and I didnt find her an intresting character at all, however her execution was hands down the worst from all the games. The fucking fact that it carried on for 8 hours and everyone of her classmates had to witness that was really disgusting, but the fact that she never even meant to kill anyone of her classmates in the first place (she was planning to kill the mastermind) but was just THAT unlucky to kill Rantaro instead- that’s a whole other level of misfortune.

8. Mukuro Ikusaba

I still cant get over the fact that Mukuro was killed by her own fucking sister? And when she was expecting it the least. She thought that her and Junko were going to continue her plan together, and was actually the first to be killed at the start of Trigger Happy Havoc. The fact that Junko didn’t even show any fucking remorse to any of this makes her an even more twisted character.

7. Chihiro Fujisaki

Chihiro’s death pissed me off a lot. The reason he died especially, Mondo’s “reason” for killing him was absolute bullshit (ok we get it you have anger issues but like). Chihiro managed to help the remaining of his classmates even AFTER his death, and he’s an absolute king for that.

6. Celestia Ludenberg

Okok, hear me out here. Celestia by far had one of the smartest plans for a murder from all of the games. Her plan was executed perfectly and no one suspected a thing. I was secretly rooting for her to win, because her plan required such a high level of intelligence to come up with- her motives were kinda dubious though.

5. K1-B0

By the last chapter of V3, I was honestly relieved that Kiibo was one of the survivors. Or at least WAS GOING to be one of the survivors- stupidly enough, kiibo still destroys everything and kills himself and Tsumugi through self destruction. 3 survivors are Maki, Shuichi, and Himiko, and it's kinda bs. LITERALLY WHAT IS UP WITH EVERYONE SACRIFICING THEMSELVES

4. Chiaki Nanami

Chiaki was one of my favorite characters, and her death was really unfair. Same as Kaede, she never meant to kill anyone except for the culprit. She deserved way better, and she was one of the characters that I really wanted to survive until the end. Some crimes can be forgiven 😁

3. Nagito Komaeda

Nagito’s death came as a fucking shock to me, but was even more disturbing is that he did it all to himself. He sacrificed himself in order to kill the Remnants of Despair. He set up a "suicide" to cause Chiaki Nanami, the traitor and not a Remnant of Despair, to unknowingly deal the killing blow, and therefore become the blackened. He deserved better.

2. Sakura Ogami

Honestly, Sakura was the last one I’d ever expect to be the traitor. I loved her character and she deserved way better, however due to her death, she did manage to help Naegi and the others uncover the mastermind.

1. Kokichi Ouma

I don’t think this is gonna come as a surprise to any of you lmao. Kokichi is one of the most hated but loved characters of all danganronpa- some say he had it coming but others try to act as if he’s some sort of fucking angel. Truth is, Kokichi fits in neither of those categories, which is what makes him such a great antagonist. He never knew how to express his emotions, and was extremely scared of opening up to people, hence his title of being a “liar”. He commited suicide to win and *RUIN* the killing game. Yes, ruin. He did this to *ruin* the killing game. What makes the whole deal a lot sadder is, that he died thinking that the only person he ever loved (Shuichi) hated him. *cries in kokichi kinnie*
