Chiaki counts em al. (AU where AI Chiaki is evil and is in love with Junko)
“And that’s another one down.”, Chiaki noted with a blank look, her appearance glitching briefly. Watching as Gundham Tanaka was being trampled to a pulp by a massive herd, was rather satisfying to see.
A part of her wanted to scream. But Chiaki forced it shut.
The blonde behind her cackled happily.
“What a despairing case.”, she exclaimed joyfully and began to cry crocodile tears. “Poor Gundham, trying his best to save the others and sacrificing themselves, just so they can be mine later. Pooor them!”
“Mhm....”
Chiaki nodded simply and stared at the screen again, counting all the deaths.
Byakuya being stabbed from underground? One.
Teruteru being fried alive? Two.
Peko smashing Mahiru’s skull? Three.
Peko being stabbed from behind? Four.
Mikan hanging Ibuki? Five.
Mikan killing Hiyoko? Six.
Gundham and his hamsters killing Nekomaru? Seven.
And finally, Gundham being trampled all over his body. That’s eight.
She felt Junko’s hand caress her shoulder. It felt cold, even if nothing was actually touching her. It was just an algorithm, after all. Made of Zeros and Ones.
Just like her.
To think that Junko would be able to open her eyes, was something Chiaki never really considered before. The beauty of this Killing Game.....
It really was wonderful. And painful too.
A part of her, was still fighting back of course. In spite of Junko’s wonderful abilities, not even she could overwrite her core programing. That being, to help her classmates recover no matter what. She resented it.
But also was relieved. Was that, her silicone soul speaking?
“Now.....Nagito will most likely cause another murder, because he thinks he’ll do a good thing killing off my unwilling lackeys.”, Junko explained nonchalantly. “Keep counting them, will you?”
“Of course.”, Chiaki said without a change in expression, her eye glitching to a brief red tone. Then she kissed Junko’s cheek. “I will do as you please, my beloved.”
“Good. Now....we’ll talk later in your bedroom. To reward you, naturally.”
And so, Junko disappeared and Chiaki stepped moments later out of her hiding spot, beneath the trial room. Just thinking about tonight made her feel excited, giddily...
