«Makoto Naegi»
I peel open my eyes, eyelids like lead. I squint in the sunlight, my eyes dry and covered in sleep. I try to stammer something- but my mouth is too dry, my breath putrid. What happened last night? 
"S-shit." I try to sit up, but I literally can not move. My arms are marble, unmovable lumps of stone. My mouth is a desert, just without cacti.
"Makoto." I twist round, my movements sluggish,so bloated and greasy.
"Byakuya? What happened? Am I sick?" I croak.
"No." His face comes into focus. "You're hungover."
"Hungover? I- what happened last night?" 
A pause. Then Byakuya leans in and hugs me.
"Never do that again Makoto. Please you ... scared me." 
"I'm sorry." I murmur. I feel even worse now, although I don't know what I'm apologising for 
"It's fine. I need to... apologise. I'm sorry I was horrible to you." Byakuya admits. 
"It's fine! It's my fault!" I croak. "I guess we both messed up a bit." I mutter.
"Why are you here?" I ask. 
"I took you home last night. Me and Mukuro Ikusaba." He explains. 
"Oh. Was my dad annoyed?" I ask nervously.
"That's the reason I woke you up. He wants to see you." 

                          
15 minutes later, I hop downstairs, all the traces of last night scrubbed away with enough toothpaste and soap. Well, except my splitting headache.
"Makoto.". My dad looks down at me- but instead of anger, anxiety is etched across his features.
"Makoto, we need to talk. I'm not angry, just concerned. You're a smart boy, and this behaviour is just strange. Are you ok?" He places a warm hand on my shoulder. "I know things have been hard since the divorce, but... I wanna spend more time with you. If you're stressed, please tell me." He says, his voice loud and clear and comforting.
"I'm sorry, dad. Schools just a bit harder now... I promise I will never do that again." I promise.
"At least you have good friends." He muses. "That Mukuro? Is she your girlfriend?" I blush awkwardly. 
"NO! No!" I laugh. He's definitely got the wrong idea.
He raises his eyebrows sceptically. "Haha, ok kid." He ruffles my hair. "See you soon. I gotta go to work." 
"Ok. Bye dad!" I wave him goodbye. I walk back to my room- but I feel my phone go off.
I take it out and-
                          
No.


                          
No


                          
NO

                          
I didn't... I don't... what

                          
It's a message from an unknown number. 
I know everything about you and Mr Togami. I know you're dating. And that you cheated with Junko Enoshima. I need you to do a few things, or I'll tell EVERYONE.
