A fooless clown

The meeting

Compulsive lying.

I'm still working on it, but I've tried to control it.

I was thinking too much that I didn't notice that we were at the meeting door.

This 'rehabilitation room.

"A-are you sure you're r-ready K..kokichi..?" Mikan asked nervously, holding my hand for comfort.

"What did I say about your stutter?" I scolded her playful, but she just gave me a smile, I've been trying to help her with that.

I soon looked at the door, pushing back my nerves, and then looked at her with a soft smile and went on my tiptoes. I patted her head.

"I'm ready as I'll ever be.."

She opened to the door to the sound of loud yelling and laughs.

I almost wanted to retreat back to my lonely room.

Most are from Kaito and Miu shouting.

Miu..

I'm sorry for what I did to you miu.I regretted it from the start... I felt hurt from what you tried to do, but I still cared about you deep down.

I was.. I didn't approach them, though.

I walked in and decided to take a seat by Kirumi and Korekiyo.

They didn't notice me, so I just enjoyed all the noise.

Reminds me of D.I.C.E...

The doctors said D.I.C.E was real, but it was actually a kind of part orphanage and part hospital.

I was one of the patients, and I was well liked by the other patients.

Kirumi was looking at them till she soon noticed my presence.

She looked at me with wide eyes and started shaking.

I was worried if I did something wrong.

||She hates you,no one likes you, Kokichi.||

She touched my face, maybe seeing if I was really next to her before...

Pulling me into a hug.

I panicked in confusion and fear, but let it happen.

I felt a light weight on my head.

Someone was playing with my hair.

Turned my head to see Korekiyo playing with my hair.

Must have noticed how it was more messy and outgrown.

Or how different it was than it's original.

Maybe they don't hate me..

Maybe there is some hope .. for me...

Some kind of hope..

Then I heard the chatting soften.
