Danganronpa: Goodbye Despair |Reader X|

"Hey..."
"Can you hear me?"
Your vision appears, and in front of you, stands a boy with whiteish/kinda light blonde(? XD) hair, with a concerned look.
"Are you okay?"
"...You seem pretty out of it."
"To be honest, I'm also... No, everyone else feels the same, too."
"Since we suddenly.. got put in this weird situation."
"...Hey, are you listening?"
...
I don't understand. Why am I...here...?
...
...What happened? I should try to remember that first...
I began to think, disentangling the twisted knots that had formed in my mind.
Think-think-think-think-think-think-think.
As I gathered the fragments of my scattered memories, I began to piece together what actually happened...
...
...
That's right...I...
I...

————————

That day... it wasn't just a typical day for me...
It was a day that felt... truly significant.
And when that long-awaited day finally came, I felt proud in a way I can't really put into words.
I felt like... I had just become a part of something greater than myself. Does that make sense?
Actually, that's exactly what it was like...
I was truly in a dream.

Hope's Peak Academy...

That place was so much more than a school to me.
Kids who love to play baseball will long to join the major leagues...
Kids who love to play soccer/football will long to join a rep team...
And ever since I was a kid, I've felt the same way about Hopes Peak academy...
Hope's Peak Academy is a government-funded school for the privileged elite of society.
It recruits top students from every imaginable field to inspire hope, and in doing so, shape the future.
Whenever Hope's Peak Academy is mentioned, it's only a matter of time before someone says...
"If you come here and manage to graduate, you'll be set for life."
And just so you know, that's not a joke or an exaggeration at all.
Many of the current leaders of various industries are actually alumni of this school...
Well, that's basically what Hope's Peak Academy is all about. As they say, it's truly the Academy of Hope.
There are two criteria you must meet in order to attend this school...
One, you must be a current high school student.
Two, you must be the very best at what you do.
Unlike other schools, there aren't any entrance exams at this academy.
The only way to get in is if the school scouts you itself... That is how Hope's Peak Academy operates.
Now, because of the talents of those who are chosen...
The students of Hope's Peak Academy are called Ultimates.
But even though I'm finally going to Hopes Peak Academy, the school I desired more than anything else...
The truth is, my circumstance is a little different than that of my peers.
...Well, I guess I can put that aside for now.
You'll find out soon enough, and it's nothing special worth talking about... I think.
Anyway, I guess I should introduce myself first.

"I'm not so special that I *have* to introduce myself, and formalities are always a little embarrassing...
Well, this *is* expected... I guess that's how I should think about it.
My name is (Y/N) (L/N).
There's only one reason I came to Hope's Peak Academy... Because I admired Hope's Peak Academy.
To me, attending Hope's Peak Academy is like being a celebrity or a superhero.
In fact, instead of calling it admiration, it's more like...it's always been a dream of mine.
That's why, to feel like a member of society, to become someone I can be proud of, I always wanted to...

For that reason alone, I always wanted to...
For that reason alone, I always...
Always always always always always always always always always always always always always always always al
ways... until now, I never wanted to admit how painfully ordinary I am. That's why...hope...
I might have admired talent[]individually...[] but I have finally... forever•tried my best... finally came tru3+d"
