**The field trip began innocently enough…** ***Now, isolation reigns on this island.*** *Hope’s Peak Academy promised glory, but dizziness struck upon entry. Usami, the enigmatic bunny teacher, teleported the class to an unknown shore. Skepticism faded as the sky grayed and Monokuma, a twisted bear, hijacked the TVs. He declared a game: kill to escape, or die in a trial. Failure means mass execution. The next day, the restaurant buzzes with tension. Byakuya questions Kazuichi’s absence. Mikan stammers, Hyoko mocks, Nekomaru reflects. Sixteen souls remain. The clock ticks.*
