《Danganronpa ocem》Chapter 4 Part 19

Randi: It was all Sumana.

Ashlyn: What? No, Sumana was the one who stopped Hannan's killings, wasn't she? She convinced Hannan never to kill again, that's why it stopped after her 14th birthday!

Randi: That's the story they tell, but it's not the whole story that happened.

Randi: The day before Hannan's birthday, they were all at the cafe down the street from Sumana's house. Hannan, Annan, Sumana and my best friend. That was the day of the last murder. I wasn't there for the real thing that year, but how I found out about what happened...

Sophie: That night, after the third trial, I showed Randi a very special video, a video important enough for her to turn on everything she's built for herself and become the traitor.

Ashlyn: Show us the video.

Sophie: Of course I will, you didn't think I would just leave you guys hanging, did you? See what I did there?

Randi: Wait- I'm not sure if-

Sophie: Monokuma, play the video!

Monokuma: Puhuhuhu! This is going to be reaalllll interesting!

The TV screen dropped from the trial room ceiling again, but this time something new came on.

Security footage depicting what looked like a kitchen, and in the corner stood a short, thin girl. It looked like she was busy making coffee.

And then someone else walked into the kitchen.

???: Eh? Hannan, why are you in the kitchen?

Hannan: No, I just wanted to check if you needed help.

???: Not really, but thanks.

There was a moment of silence as Hannan closed the kitchen door and leaned awkwardly against the counter, out of the girl's peripheral vision.

???: Sooo, why are you still here? Go join the others outside, the coffee's almost done.

Hannan: Listen, can I ask you a question?

???: Sure. What is it?

Hannan: How'd you meet Annan?

???: Hmm? Well I was running the booth for my school at a barista fair, and Annan was there as well. Not sure if you were there too, but I think Annan had a gymnastics competition at the same venue later in the day, and since you're a duo you were probably with her.

???: But after that we just exchanged numbers and became friends I guess, nothing out of the ordinary, we hang out. Why do you ask?

Hannan: Oh, no reason. Just curious, you know since I'm Annan's best friend.

Hannan slid her hand across the counter, gently picking up a wooden rolling pin and holding it above the other girl's head as her back was turned-

???: I have a best friend too! Just like you. We're inseparable!

Movement in the kitchen paused as Hannan tensed upon hearing those words.

???: Her name's Randi! She's a great barista too. Too bad we couldn't both be ultimates like you and Annan, I would love to go to the school with her.

Hannan lowered the weapon, eyes softening.

Hannan: Your best friend?

???: Maybe I should've invited her here, then she could meet all of you and we could all be friends. She's really nice, you both would get along.

Hannan: How close are you two?

???: We met a few years ago, when we were twelve? I have to admit I haven't been the best person, but she stuck with me through it all. She's like my Annan, you know?

Hannan nodded.

???: We're planning to hang out again next week, she wants to go to the ice rink at Gateway Plaza, so we're going there. Do you and Annan want to join? Sumana can too.

Hannan: We would love to. Not sure if Sumana will be able to, though.

???: That's okay, we can ask her. Anyway, the coffee's done, let's head out.

The two walked out of the kitchen, and the security footage cut to the front of the cafe.

???: Coffee's done! Annan, your favourite of course. And for the birthday girl, my specialty, caramel latte!

Hannan: Woah, thank you!

Annan: Tastes as good as always, K.

K: Glad you like it!

Annan: Sumana, you want a sip of mine? It's got chocolate drizzle.

Sumana: Yea sure! You wanna go shopping later? I heard your parents opened a new shop somewhere around here.

Annan: Mhm, at gateway. We can go get the Japanese food you keep asking for too, maybe stop by the electronics store.

Sumana: Are we gonna play those puzzle games on the sample phones again?

Annan: If you want to. I could get something for the both of us, I saw a new nintendo switch case design yesterday and I thought you'd like it.

Hannan: Is Miyoshi going?

Sumana: I don't think so, should be just me and Annan.

Hannan: Can you ask her to go with you?

Annan: You and K can come too since it's straight after this! I'd love you there Hannan, we can play the phone running games again!

Hannan: Remember when you kept beating my high score, don't think I've forgiven you!

Annan: Not my fault you suck.

Hannan: Asshole.

Annan and Hannan laughed.

Sumana: I texted Miyoshi, she's busy with her job again.

Annan: She's been working overtime lately, huh?

K: That's too bad, I wanted to meet her too.

Hannan: Hey Sumana, do you think I could talk with you in the kitchen? Grab a snack at the same time maybe...

Sumana: About what?

Hannan: I heard something about Miyoshi and I want to uh... Discuss it with you.

Sumana: Oh, alright then!

The two entered the kitchen and the security footage switched back.

Hannan closed the door, pulling Sumana to a corner in the back.

Sumana: So what is it you wanna say about Miyoshi?

Hannan: I just wanted to ask you a couple questions, nothing much.

Hannan: Are you and Miyoshi best friends?

Sumana: Oh! I wouldn't say that- I mean we're close but we aren't too close! Why?

Hannan: Then who do you consider you best friend?

Sumana: Um, that's a personal question. I guess you and Annan, not really sure.

Hannan: Me? You think I'm your best friend? Really?

Sumana: Well we hang out a lot, even if it's together with Annan all the time.

Hannan: Aww, so touching. So you're closer to Annan then? Annan is your best friend.

Hannan inched forward, backing Sumana into the freezer door.

Sumana: A little too close there! Hey, what are you doing-

Hannan: Answer my question. Is Annan your best friend or not.

Sumana: Hannan! HANNAN-

Hannan's hand gripped Sumana's throat and began to squeeze, the other pulling the freezer door's handle.

Sumana: YES! YES- ANNAN IS MY BEST FRIEND! LET ME GO PLEASE- LET ME-

The door swung open and the ultimate gymnast pushed Sumana, causing her to stumble back and fall into the cold dungeon.

Hannan: Wrong answer.

With a resounding bang, Hannan slammed the freezer door shut.
