This did not look good. Time passed and, she did what Enoshima told her to do. It was nothing big, watch the Ultimates, sabotage some plans, bring the especific items she request, protect her, hide her. Little things that didn't cause so much damage or work to accomplish. After all, Enoshima alreally had another puppet to do the dirty work for her. So, for now, she just played the roll of her assistant.
Even though Enoshima was aware of how useful she became after the gifts they gave her, she stay 'simple' with her requests. It almost gave the feeling that Enoshima did understand and respected her place as a senpai. As she like to refer herself when she talked to her. It was not that difficult to understand that Enoshima liked to be treated as a superior and always takes even the smallest opportunities to remark that.
Because of the cracks of Akamatsu's emotions, this seem odd to her. Because of the influence of Akamatsu's emotions she decided to keep the promise Akamatsu did with Enoshima. She does not entirely feel the emotions, but instead use them as an instinct.
See Enoshima treat her so playful and passive at first made her be more defensive. But a few days passed and her predictions convince her to not be in any danger.
This was odd. This was wrong.
Enoshima was obviously getting something from this. She had her suspicions but still do nothing and played along.
She let Enoshima have fun with her by letting her treating her like a doll. Making (forcing?) her to use Enoshima's outfits and let Enoshima play with her long white hair.
This is bad. This is dangerous.
In the end, Enoshima made her use a white suit and a loose low ponytail that at least kept her hair collected. She heard Enoshima say something about her becoming the hope in despair and a 'him' becoming the despair in hope.
Just like the Yin and Yang she remember Ikusaba mentioned.
When Enoshima was busy she used to resume her original request of watch over the Ultimate Despairs. Because of this, the Future Foundation suspected of her and so, also classified her as a Ultimate. Junko was aware of this but still did nothing about it. After all, it was well known of how they blindly classified people as Ultimate Despairs if they were involucrated with Enoshima even in the most insignificant way.
And so, time passed and for her bad luck she was becoming used to Enoshima's behavior towards her. Even Ikusaba became more soft with her at some point.
This is strange. This is frightening.
She stayed away from them as much as possible. Using the requests as motives. Enoshima did not care at all, because it doesn't matter what she did, in the end, it will benefit her anyway.
One of Enoshima's newest requests for her were to watch the killing game the sisters, mainly Enoshima, prepared and were planning to broadcast. By Enoshima saying to her that she wanted her kohai to be proud of her hard work, she just stared at a excited Enoshima and by nodding her head, she agreed to her request. Hoping to find some answers at her own doubts.
She did what requested as she still focused on her old task of watch over the Ultimates. By just walking through the streets, in practically every device such as monitors, radios, televisions, and so on, the broadcast could be watched. Even if she tried to avoid it, the killing game was apparently the main focus of the world.
She watched the students of class 78 fall in despair as they blindly played along with Enoshima's desires.
She watched, Akamatsu's (her) upper classmates slowly reduce their number. When a body was discovered she already predicted who the culprit was. However, because of the actions of people like the Ultimate Programmer and the Ultimate Martial Artist, peak her curiosity and made her to wonder what could happen next. When see saw how Ikusaba was brutally murdered and betrayed, the influence of Akamatsu's emotions made her heart hurt. At the time, with surprise, she wondered why.
Emotions are terrifying.

When the fifth case came, Enoshima cheated by using Ikusaba's corpse as the new victim. She frowned. She may follow Enoshima's ideals because of Akamatsu's promise, but seeing Enoshima manipulate the rules at her favor, making the game unfair made her feel pissed.
This is not what she wanted. She realised when she watched how Naegi Makoto's execution was set in motion. Then it was all for nothing. Yes, she watched the killing game because of Enoshima's request, but still she had her own motives to watch it. And because of Enoshima's actions in the end was all for nothing. Of course hope would win, what was she expecting? The thought became clear as she watched how Naegi's execution failed.
Not so far from her, even though the street was deadly quiet, and so, empty, she knew she was not alone. Facing at the huge monitor of the street, she saw a opened exisal. Both of the pilots' gaze focused on the screen and nothing else. It seemed that they has not noticed her. For now. So, she made her way by walking to the opposite side of them.
"Hey, there's someone here" She heard a voice coming from the exisal. The other person poked his head out of the exisal's cabin to look at what his partner was talking about.
"Hey hey hey! Mysterious White lady!" The second guest called to her, she continued to walk way. She had nothing to do with them. Akamatsu's emotions made her body slightly shake, she did not understand this. When the sound of the exisal's cabin being closed, she predicted she only had 9 seconds to hide. And so, by the time the Exisal was taking it's time to operate again. She sneaked inside one of the destroyed buildings with such velocity that she even had 3 seconds to spare.
She stayed in a dark spot of the place, using the broken devices to block the vision of her body. Letting her ears to focus on the heavy steps along with mechanic sounds of outside, she remained in silence, peaking over the devices to see what was happening outside.
Thanks to the improved audition of Akamatsu (of hers), she could hear the exisal being opened followed by a 'Uh, where did she go?' from Momota and the 'Man! I really wanted to touch her hair!' of Ouma. The conversation didn't end there.
"Damn, now i'm doubing if Angie wasn't hallucinating at all or if she was just messing with us." Kaito scratched his head. Ouma laughed.
"Weeell, you are an idiot so don't beat yourself by thinking of that!"
"What was that?!" Kaito shook his head, then again, he faced Ouma "Ok now you hear me you little shit, this is my fucking exisal and I can fucking kick you out of it."
"Wah! Momota-chan you are so scary!" Ouma cried, then he drop the act. "But jokes aside, if Angie was just messing with us, then why did she told Saihara about this White Lady?" Ouma pointed, no mischief in his voice. She hear and 'oh' escape from Momota's lips. "Jeez, try yo use your head for once in a while Momota-chan."
"Shut up!" Kaito shouted, pissed.
"Anyway, she's gone, and so we too. Let's get the fuck outta here Momota-chan!" Ouma proclaimed with excitement as he pointed at the clear path.
"Jeez" Kaito murmured, Ouma smirked. "But still we need to go with Saihara and Miu anyway." Kaito thought outloud, Ouma clapped his hands, sitting inside the cabin.
"Then let's get going! I don't want to make my beloved Saihara-chan wait!" Kaito also sat on his place.
"What about Miu?" He asked.
"Who cares about that ugly pig?" He replied almost automatically. Kaito sighed.
"Of course you would say that" That was the last she could hear before the exisal closed again. And hearing how the heavy footsteps slowly sound more and more distant, when she couldn't hear them anymore she came out of her hiding spot, making her way to the next city.

When Enoshima revealed herself as the mastermind it did not make a huge impact on her. She already knew that hope was going to win anyway. She already knew what would Enoshima pick in the end, however she did not expect her to cry after her death.
She started to feel strange sensations. Akamatsu's emotions started blooming inside her chest. She felt a mix of anger, sadness, relief and other things that she did not was able to understand or clasificate. And just like with Ikusaba's death, she felt her heart hurt.
And so, she understood that her theory had been correct from the very beginning. She understood the reason of Enoshima's behavior towards her in the past. That by taking advantage of Akamatsu's emotions inside her, Enoshima decided to silently create a bond between the two of them without her concent. All for the sake to make her fell into despair after her death.
She was relief (glad?) that at the last moment she kept her distance from them, from her. If she had stayed by Enoshima's side until the end, then maybe she would have fell into despair.
She decided it was meaning less. Enoshima is dead, she was free now. Akamatsu's promise had been successfully fulfilled and finished, or at least, it came to it's end. She set herself a new goal to fill the feeling of dependence that Enoshima left in her. She needed a goal to look at, to tell her that she was at least getting near something. She hated that feeling of dependency, and she despised Enoshima for leaving a weakness in her. However, she understood that the done was made and she needed to live with it. And so, she decided to search for Kamukura Izuru.
