After a rough day, Hajime went to lay down and rest in the academy’s infirmary. Shortly after he managed to fall asleep, Mikan wandered in, too tired to think. She kicked off her shoes and snuck into the closest bed, which just happened to be the same one Hajime was in. She snuggled up next to him, and quickly fell asleep, too. Moments later, the boy awoke with a start, instinctively screaming as he shoved the intruder away, not realizing who she was. The force of the push, combined with Mikan instinctively retreating from his shout, caused her to back into a medicine cabinet, before falling on her butt. She looked up just in time to see the cabinet falling right towards her. She instinctively threw her arms and legs up to catch it, but it was no use. With a loud THUD the cabinet toppled over, squashing her beneath it.

The other students rushed in, drawn in by the screaming and the sudden, loud crash. Hajime explained what happened, and they quickly lifted the heavy cabinet, revealing Mikan, flat as a pancake. She struggled to move, but even her flattened toes refused to budge, leaving her a helpless lump on the floor.

“Ewww, that’s so weird,” Hiyoko sneered in disgust, backing away from her. “That’s what you get, you little pervert.”

“Awww, look at her!” Ibuki cried, kneeling over the crushed girl. “She’s so squishy and moe! I just want to tickle those little feet!”

“H-help me…,” Mikan whimpered, as tears formed in her eyes. “Someone… please….”

But there was nothing they could do, except hope Monokuma was sadistic enough to prefer torturing her himself over leaving her like that.

And so, a very strange despair entered the academy….
