[Task 17] The Rite of Spring (Open)
“W...What?”
Naomi sat frozen for a few seconds, staring at the screen, her fist half-raised in celebration from the battle. The words might as well have been written in Suzuka’s Latin for all the sense they made to her. And...the train had gone back to Bronze Station?
Her body felt like it was on autopilot as she trudged out of the car, leaning unsteadily against the side of the door, and Monokuma’s words only added to the confused jumble clanging around in her skull.
Nomura was dead? Admittedly, she still hadn’t been sure if he was alive when they met him in there, but - like hell Hiroshi had killed him. They’d all seen him disappear! There had just been that giant Monokuma, and anyway, didn’t he say they were supposed to fight it?!
This had to be a trick. Naomi didn’t know much about computers, but she was certain that Monokuma had done something; either written a fake death announcement or somehow swapped the boss out with Nomura at the last second.
She wouldn’t accept anything else.
“Bullshit. BULLSHIT! Where’d that fucking bear go?! I don’t care if I lose a leg, I’m gonna break him for GOOD this time!”
