Hello DanGAFronpa (sorry).
So last night I had a terrible nightmare. I figured if there is any positive outcome from it is being able to share my story with you guys for your enjoyment in relation to this great series.
As it often happens in dreams that we have, I was aware of certain things that werent exactly clearly explained. I was part of a group of 16 or so young adults (early to late 20s, nobody seemed younger or older than that), and we were trapped in a sort of outdoor campsite with various large cabins each with a large living room, a kitchen, and many bedrooms. It actually seemed like a rather great place for groups of friends or families to hang out at.
So, again, I didnt know how or by whom, but we were trapped and we all knew it. I was aware that things were very familiar to the Danganronpa main game entries, but I had decided to keep that info to myself, since bringing up the fact that things were being set up for mass killings wouldnt exactly do us any good. I even remember being in one of the cabins kitchen and being glad that there were no knives or similarly dangerous utensils.
Now, I must say Im a rather reserved person; lets just say I prefer to listen to others. But in this dream, I was actually getting to know many members of the group. I vividly recall Evie, a sweet young lady that seemed delicate as a flower but was very nice to talk to and be with. I also remember two guys that resembled old college mates from my real life, and a
robust, loud, energetic young woman with short gray hair that loved to be the center of attention by pulling pranks on everyone; nothing too serious, but certainly to the point of being annoying. Regardless, I was quite glad that I was getting to know them and things seemed safe enough; yeah, we were trapped, but things werent so bad.
Until it happened.
At some point, 4 or 5 of the guys from the group went off somewhere on their own. When we found them
lets just say the only thing that was missing was that screeching sound from the games that just says DEATH. All dead, blood everywhere. Everyone was shaken, and I wanted to let them know what I knew, or what I thought I knew, but it still made more sense to me to keep quiet. I decided to stick with Evie since she took the tragedy the hardest.
Unfortunately my dream skipped around, and I dont remember much after this point until the next horrible event. I dont know why, but I had gone off with the two old college mates alongside loud woman to find
something. Big mistake. We had left four of the girls at one of the cabins, and as we were walking back to them one of the men from the group was about to say: You know, this whole series of events
it reminds me of this video game series, Dangan.
I opened the door to the cabin, somewhat eager to hear what he was going to say, only to find myself in deep despair very soon thereafter. Corpses on the ground again; less blood, but no life. I couldnt look for her. What if? I couldnt possibly begin to accept it. I fell on my knees and let out a piercing scream that still sends chills down my spine. It felt real, I felt like I actually yelled in my sleep. I then turned around at one of the guys that had managed to look around the scene. Evie?, I asked him. Everyone; Evie too, he replied. I somehow collapsed further down, crying unstoppably, wondering what could possibly come next
Then I woke up. And
now what? I love this series, and I particularly enjoy how they can evoke these types of feelings of despair and sadness on players, which in a way is all fine and dandy when everything is fiction. But I wonder if Danganronpa crossed a line with me overnight.
We shall see.
