The newest motive from Monokuma glared from the screen: we were to be caretakers for a child-sized Kokichi. A cold shudder ran down Shuichi's spine. The chaos that kid could conjure... it was a terrifying thought. At least the genuine article wasn't here to smirk through it. He found a spot at the long table, sliding in beside Kaito, Maki, and Kaede. His pulse hammered against his ribs. While the others exchanged worried glances and tense whispers, a single, stubborn flicker ignited in his chest—not fear, but hope. Perhaps this younger, unscarred version held the answers. Maybe he could finally unravel the mystery of his own heart, of the confusing, magnetic boy who pushed him away only to leave him wanting more.
