"Alright! Now that...that's over…" Fuyuhiko said as he and the others finished their diaper changes. "Anyone have any ideas on how we can stop Monokuma?"

The Kubs looked at one another. How were they supposed to start? Monokuma had them lock and key and there was nothing they could do to lessen his control. They were stuck.

"Hey, wait a minute!" Kazuichi exclaimed. "Who appointed you leader? You're the shortest one here!"

Fuyuhiko gritted his teeth. "You…! Take that back asshole!"

"I agree with Soda…" Gundham stated. "Why are you the leader when the Overlord of Ice is here?"

"That doesn't make you leader either!" the mechanic snapped.

"How foolish...let me guess, you want to be leader?"

"W-well…"

"Ugh, this is stupid…" Mahiru groaned. "I'm leaving…"

Hajime raised an eyebrow. "How come? Don't you wanna stop Monokuma?"

"I do but not when we barely have an idea of what to do and those three are acting like dumb kids!" she gestured to the previously bickering trio. "I'll be at the dollhouse."

"M-me too...i-if that's okay…" Mikan agreed meekly as the two girls crawled to the other side of the room.

As they went, Hajime thought it over. It was true that they really didn't have anything to work off of. All they knew was that Monokuma was controlling the game. They didn't even know how he could even do all this.

They were, again, stuck.

And so, he turned back to the other boys and said, "Maybe we should take a break for now."

"How come?" Soda asked.

"We know that Monokuma did all of this but we have nothing to work off of. It would be nice if we could stop this right away...but I don't think that's possible right now."

"He's got a good point." Nekomaru nodded.

"Fine…" Fuyuhiko sighed in defeat. "We meet back up if anything happens, alright? If you got any useful info at any point, let us know."

The boys nodded and dispersed, Hajime crawling towards the carers. Nagito and Sonia were talking while Ibuki was playing with Byakuya. Peko had moved over to Fuyuhiko and sat down next to him with some stuffed animals.

Nagito noticed Hajime approach right away and beamed. "Hey kiddo! What were you guys doing? Having a little meeting?"

He nodded as the princess cooed. "How adorable! I wonder what it was about!"

"Maybe it was about who's the best carer?"

"True, it was going on for a while! It must have been a heavy debate!"

Hajime was getting bored of this conversation.

Nagito lightly gasped, turning back to his Kub. "Oh wait, you need something Haji?"

He tapped his chin. What did he want? Why did he come over here? Maybe he just wanted something to do?

"Here you go Byakuya!"

Hajime blinked and turned to see Ibuki give the progeny a box of animal crackers. She ruffled his hair as he ripped it open and started eating.

He had never wanted something more in his life…

Ask Daddy for it…

Hajime hated that voice but he did want some. So he turned back to Nagito and pointed to the box of crackers in Byakuya's hand.

The lucky student looked over and nodded. "Okay!" he then dug into a baby bag he had tucked under the stroller and handed him his own box. "Here you go! What do you say?"

"Thanks." Hajime said, causing Nagito's eyes to lit up and he ruffled his hair. He then went back to talking to Sonia.

Hajime then ate them quietly as he scanned the room to find something to do. After a while, he just opted to eat his crackers and watch the others until it was naptime.


Hajime eyes widened in near darkness.

He was in a room with only a dim light in the middle of it. There was no furniture, no entrance or exit. And he was alone.

Seconds later, the light went out. And when his eyes started to adjust to the darkness, He could see black tendrils reaching out for him. Red eyes pierced into him as they and Hajime made eye contact.

His face paled as he backed up against the wall, the tendrils coming in from behind and holding him still. The eyes changed and morphed into a person. Pale skin, long black hair and the outfit he had worn before all of this happened.

His blinked as he realized that this person...looked just like him. Minus the hair and eye color, it was like looking into a mirror.

"You should think less…" it said in his voice, void of any sort of emotion. "Everyone is looking after you, so there is nothing to worry about. She...is taking care of you now."

She?

"Everything is fine...don't panic when you wake. This isn't a nightmare and I'm not going to harm you."

"Who…" Hajime said, finally finding his voice. "Who are you?"

The boy nodded once, closing his eyes for a second before opening them again. "I am you."
