Danganronpa: Melancholic Mayhem

Prologue 1: Sirens Ring At Signs of Danger

All I can do is stand. Stand in front of this amazing school. Side by side with other elites such as myself. A school so great and memorable that everyone knows it's name.

Yuutsumi Academy. A place where only the exceptional at what they do can come and learn. Though, it's not just that. It's also got a special program to bring people back to regular society. Well, I'll get to that later.

Sorry, I should probably introduce myself. My name is S̸̬͝x̶͓́b̵̔͜w̴͇̎j̷̽ͅr̷̬̽i̷͈̿e̵̙͋c̶͇͆ẙ̵ͅ. I am the Ultimate W̸̢̒j̴͍̃ę̶͊ḵ̶̅r̸͕̃j̷̼͌f̸̨́ȟ̸̝w̶͚͒k̷̮̐ď̸̯i̶̲̾y̸͙̔g̶̞͠! Pretty cool, right? I bet you think it's so cool! If I could describe myself in some words, I'd say I'm J̸̜͝ả̶̦j̴̢͝ḛ̸̀b̶̞̓f̷͓͊ḧ̶̘́x̴̘͠j̷̘̎j̵͔͗r̵͇̈́n̷͉͆f̸͈́ and Ȧ̵͙k̶̺̿e̴̠̽m̷̩̅d̵̪̐i̶̙̋ǰ̵͇d̴̳͒n̶̦̓e̷͙͌j̶̖̈́ẍ̸ͅ. At this academy, as I said before, only the elites are chosen to come here. That includes the bad ones to, such as the Ultimate H̴͇͂a̷͉̒k̵̞͠ẻ̷̼ń̵̰ş̷̀j̶̦͋ḏ̶̉i̵̖̐j̸̖̇e̶̱̊ and the Ultimate Ś̷̝g̵͖͆b̷͎͐ẙ̸͚j̷̹͆g̸̜̃h̸͍͌ņ̴͌l̴̰̾h̸̢̾ḃ̵̨. But there are Ultimates that balance them out, so it's okay. I actually think there might be one of them in my class, so I'll have to help 'em fit in!

Today is my first day. Seeing all of these people walk past me to the school is actually pretty scary. I mean, this is the best school in the country. It's intimidating. But I know that I'm one of the best in the country as well, so it shouldn't be a problem.

This is the start of my new life. Something I can look back on and be proud of. Because my work was realized as the best. And I can only be thankful for that. I wouldn't have the opportunity I do now if I didn't try my very best. And now, I'll continue to work as hard as I can.

I took my first step into the building. It was almost terrifying, but before I knew it, I was bouncing right into the school. I waved to the people around me, a smile appearing on my face. What a great opportunity this was... to be able to go to... Yuutsumi... Academy...

Suddenly, my ears were filled with a blaring noise. I thought my ear drums would explode. But I managed to push through it, covering the sound out. I began hastily looking around at the fear-filled eyes of the other students. What... what's going on?

Someone screamed, and started running to the exit. But suddenly, the shutters went down, before a metal sheet slammed down behind it. My eyes filled with fear, as I watched what seemed to be the strongest of our group panic at the entrances as they tried to break it down. But they couldn't pull it down. They couldn't free themselves. And neither could I.

I paused, as the siren went a bit more quiet. I brought my hands down, even though the screams were just as loud. I stared at my hands. Shaking. What? Why was I shaking? I'm supposed to be confident. I'm supposed to help everyone. So... why... am... I... shaking?

I tried to yell out. I wanted to reassure everyone that everything was okay. But nothing came out of my mouth, except for a small squeak, as if it were a strain to just open my mouth in the first place.

Before I even realized it, my eyes began to close. I was... losing consciousness? Was I just that nervous? No... there were clouds surrounding me. Was it some sort of gas? Either way, I could feel myself forgetting things. Like where I was. What I was doing. I had to make sure that I remembered myself. I had to fight this urge to forget!
