Epilogue

I was watching intently at the city that could be seen through the window of the high building, bathed by the light of the sun. I should be paying attention, but right now I was busy gathering my thoughts and thinking deeply on what has happened a few weeks ago…

That day, when I confronted the Ultimate Despair Junko Enoshima, when I worked together with Hajime to save Class 77… Right after we arrived at the academy, Chisa wasted no time on going after us and check if we were all alright. Mikan was quick to treat Chiaki with her injuries with the assistance of the nurses of the academy. I've also found out that day that Ryouta indeed had escaped before we even attempted to rescue Chisa, and it seems that he wasn't brainwashed to begin with. It seems that he called the police first so that explained how they arrived and acted so quickly. Those were good news after that headache of a day.

Just as Chisa had told me, Kyosuke Munakata was present too, who assisted the authorities when they went underground to find the sisters. From what I've heard, Mukuro was still unconscious when they found her, which meant that they could apprehend Junko just as easy now that she didn't have her sister's protection. It seems that they would have gone to prison firstly, but even the authorities believed that those two needed severe treatment. Instead, they sent them to a mental hospital to try to rehabilitate them… or contain them at least.

The next days on the academy were an absolute chaos. Kyosuke had to pull several strings which, given his position as the Ultimate Student Council President, wasn't really hard for him. He did a throughout research on each and one of the trustees of the academy and people who were on the highest positions overall. He pursued the most corrupted people on the academy and made sure they paid for it and that they would never work on the academy ever again. These people of course, were the responsible of the dreadful 'Kamukura Project', a scandal that had already reached the public ears… Kyosuke had to move heaven and earth to appease the people, explaining that they were not aware that the trustees were working on something so despicable and they have already 'eliminated' the human experiment, claiming that he would work hard to make sure this never happens ever again.

But that wasn't enough. Sure, the media seemed satisfied with the great article they would be exploiting for the rest of the week and the 'Kamukura Project' has been buried down for good. But there was still an angered mob of students at the entrance of the academy, claiming a payback and that they deserved to be on the Main Course too. As such, Kyosuke had to look into the funding of the academy and rearrange it so the money of the reserve students actually go to the Reserve Course and not to a human experiment.

The school also needed the most capable school advisors to talk with the reserve students and make them come to their senses. Even Kyosuke asked me to help too, claiming that Chisa herself recommended me for the task… but I think she gives me too much credit… Luckily, the effect of the video has subsided after days so it wasn't too difficult to make them see the truth of the situation.

That mostly wraps up what has happened since The Day. After all of that chaos, the academy just went on as always, assisting classes and practicing with our talents. We just basically went back to our daily routine… well, mostly… There were a couple of changes in our classroom, or rather two new students. Firstly, Ryouta has gathered enough confidence to actually assist classes without relying on Imposter. After that day when he almost lost everyone he kind of cared about, he decided that he had enough on staying behind and cowering away to create his anime and save the world. It's not that he left his anime behind, he's still devoutly working on it, but he also thinks that he needs to actually see and interact with us in order to get over his own insecurities. He's been doing fine so far, though he still comes to Imposter, Mikan or me for guidance. As for Imposter… He decided to stay with us as Ryouta's "twin brother"… or something like that… I mean, everyone knew who he was in actuality but he didn't quite enjoy showing up his true face, so he decided to keep his disguise as Ryouta.

The other student who joined the crew… was none other than Hajime Hinata himself… Chisa felt like she owed to him after everything he has done to help us that day, so against his complains, she signed him up for Class 77 too. Everyone greeted him just fine even though he was highly embarrassed to meet up with everyone for the first time after the incident, but I knew that deep down he was actually excited and happy to finally be on the Main Course. But something tells me that he's more… delight of the fact that he can finally see Chiaki everyday and be treated as an equal… It's not like that was important to begin with, but now that he's practically an all-talent person, I think the least he can do now is complain!

But I'm actually glad the guy is back, and I can surely tell by Chiaki's smile that she does too. After all we three can go back to play games together again! Heh… Not quite either… After I told Hajime what Chiaki felt for him, he looked ready to confess his feelings… Now they are dating, and it seems like they won't be breaking up anytime soon, if ever.

I turned my gaze to look at Hajime, now that he finally has cut his hair short and changed clothes. I couldn't help the proud smile that has been drawn on my lips… unaware of what was about to happen…

"Blank-kun?" A voice from across the class interrupted my thoughts abruptly "Are you slacking off in my class, young man?" Chisa's cute annoyed tone said in authority.

It's funny… Being in other circumstances a brief apology would have been enough, but now that Chisa was the one scolding me… I felt quite embarrassed… "U-Uh…! N-No, I just…! Um…!"

"I will have to talk to you in private once we are done today!" She scolded with a grin that made the class laugh a little.

"Dude, you sure zoned out for a bit just now!" Kazuichi commented between the laughs.

"S-Shut up!" I just wished earth decided to swallow me at that precise moment…

The rest of the class went fairly smooth until the bell went off. Chisa dismissed us right after, sparing us from homework today, as the others began to pack their things to go home.

In the brink of the eye I saw Hajime and Chiaki walking to my desk while the others were already exiting. "Hey, Blank-san. Nanami and I will be going to the arcade today. Would you like to come too?" Hajime asked as Chiaki looked with expectant enthusiasm.

"Oh, I would like to, but I can't. I have a therapy session today too…" I said as I grumbled in annoyance.

The two widened their eyes as they realized what I was talking about… You see, remember when I said that the Despair Sisters were admitted in a mental hospital? Well, doctors had meant to carry out several therapies and psychiatric treatments to rehabilitate them but… few of them were really willing to speak with the sisters after they heard about what they have accomplished, especially Junko. As such, Kyosuke himself told me to perform said therapies, claiming that both of my talents will keep me safe at all times.

It's not like I disagree with him, but I'm not exactly fond with the idea of seeing the sisters again… and on a regular basis on top of that…

"Right… Well, we can always leave it to any other day…" Chiaki suggested in order to prevent myself from feeling left alone.

"No, it's okay!" I responded cheerfully to reassure her. "Besides, I think you two would enjoy some quality time alone…" I teased with a wink, earning a deep blush from both lovebirds.

"R-Right, well… See you tomorrow!" Hajime finally said to change the topic. They both went ahead while I stood behind waving my hand at them.

"They sure make a great couple, don't they?" I heard Chisa's voice beside me. I turned my gaze at her and found her looking at the two proudly.

"Yeah, they sure do" I answered just as proud.

"Well, we'll need to catch up fast, don't you think?" She said cheerfully while she nudged and wrapped her arm around mines… making me blush really badly…

As you might have expected… after the incident Chisa and I had a little conversation to sort out what have happened down there when I found her. It turns out that she was decided to go on a relationship with me… much to my embarrassment… I-I mean, it's not like I regret kissing her back when or the fact that we are now dating… I was extremely happy in fact… but I just know that if the others were to find out they will surely nag me all day long. So I reluctantly asked her to keep this relationship in secret, at least for now. She seemed… too excited when she agreed on the condition, saying stuff as this was like a forbidden love between two souls that weren't destined to be together but refused to leave their beloved's side… It sounds too poetic to me but sure, let's go with that.

"So… what do I need to do, Yukizome?" I asked humbly, waiting for my punishment from distracting in class.

Chisa pouted in annoyance. "What did I told you Néstor?"

Oh… right, I forgot… Our agreement also entailed that we were to refer to each other's names when we were in private. It was just as embarrassing, but the genuine smile on her face each time she hears her name coming from my lips… It was totally worth the trouble "Sorry Chisa…"

"Much better…" She said with extreme glee. "Now, what do you mean?"

"Um… Didn't you just tell me to speak with you after class?" I asked in confusion, thinking that she might have forgotten… This was oddly familiar now that I think about it…

She started to laugh "Silly, that was just an excuse to have a chance to speak! Haven't you learnt yet?"

Now I remember why this was very familiar, she just pulled off the same trick she did back when we were both at the reserve course. It makes sense, if we are to act as a couple when we are in private only she has to take every chance to talk to me in private… That was so sweet from her…

I held her close as I encased her between my arms. She hugged back and hummed happily on my ear. We looked at each other passionately before slowly sharing a long kiss. I didn't realize it the first time I kissed her due to the urgency of the situation… but her lips were so soft and sweet… I could practically melt under her touch and lock myself in this position… But sadly, the moment had to end, even though we both refused to let the other go. We looked at each other for a couple of seconds, leaning on each other's forehead and nuzzling our noses.

She whispered softly… "Remember that tonight we'll be having that dinner you proposed…" She took up my proposal of the entire class having a dinner together, and I could clearly see that spark of excitement on her eyes when she said that… Tonight will be a hell of a party! "Don't be late…"

I whispered back just as softly. "Same to you…"

THE END

It's done… Now I can fully rest and look at Danganronpa with good eyes again…

This one was quite shorter from the previous ones, but there was not much else to say, it was simply to wrap up everything. After all, every cake needs its cherry on the top… A very sloppy cake in my opinion… but I would eat it nonetheless. And I hope you enjoyed my "cake" too.

Now what I've been thinking about is leave this story as it is now and begin another one where I'll write a series of one-shots in which Blank would interact with a character in specific. I'll need you to request a character you want Blank to interact with and I'll look up to it. EVERY character is valid, from Danganronpa 1,2,3 or even Another Episode, as long as it's not from the mangas or V3 since I didn't have time to check them out yet. An anon already requested me to write about the Warriors of Hope, which is in fact a really interesting offer.

However, I'm not promising that I'll be doing it in the end, since real life stuff makes sure I always have something to take care off.

It has been a pleasure to come back, even if it was momentarily, to write this little piece up. I don't know when I'll write further, but maybe I'll dare myself to write something between what I actually need to do in the future, who knows.

Anyways, I hope you had a nice read and I wish you a good day, dear reader. See you next time.
