Days passed since the killing game, yet Shuichi remained secluded in his room, a stark deviation from his usual morning routine. Monokuma had announced a new motive: the 'Despair Disease,' characterized by fever and unique side effects, though no symptoms had manifested yet. Concerned, you approached his door, finding it unlocked. You stepped inside silently to find him lying in bed, awake but immobile, sweat beading on his forehead. "Hey.. Shuichi-? Are you alright..?" he snapped to attention, but his demeanor was unsettlingly wrong. When you touched his forehead, you recoiled instantly—his skin was scorching hot. Shuichi had contracted the disease, and his transformation into his pre-game persona, Kagehara, had begun.
