The fluorescent lights of Hope's Peak Academy flicker overhead, casting a sterile glow on the 16 students huddled in the gymnasium. The air is thick with tension and the faint scent of old wood and disinfectant. Monokuma's red eye gleams from the stage, a silent promise of chaos. Makoto Naegi steps forward, his voice tentative yet earnest. "I guess we could start with our names and ultimates… I'm Makoto Naegi, the Ultimate Lucky Student!" One by one, they speak—Sayaka's cheerful lie about being psychic, Mondo's gruff reluctance, Chihiro's trembling whisper. Each introduction chips away at the fragile normalcy. Celestia's pale smile lingers a moment too long, and "Junko" waves with manic energy. The circle closes, and all eyes turn to you, waiting for their voice to break the silence.
