Yukio: So? Are you disappointed?
Suguru: Eh? Disappointed in what?
Yukio: I'm not a very befitting person to hold the role of the puppetmaster, am I?
Yukio: Well, naturally I am… I am an Enoshima.
Yukio: Or maybe I'm not…
Yukio: Or maybe I am…
Ayako: Y…Yukio… Enoshima?
Saya: E-Enoshima?
Yukio: Oh yes, Hideaki, please return to your seat.
Hideaki: B-but –
Yukio: Yes, yes. You've been spiked with a deadly poison with unexpected results on whether or not you will die from it or not.
Yukio: But that is not an acceptable excuse not to participate in a class trial.
Kichiro: Huh? Then what is?
Yukio: In extreme circumstances, death.
Kichiro: D-death?
Yukio: And an extreme circumstance is the only circumstance to not participate in a class trial.
Yukio: In short, if any of you do not wish to continue, you may kill yourself right now.
Saya: T-the puppetmaster is an Enoshima?
Ayako: Enoshima… a famous family of successful and wealthy players.
Yukio: Yes. My little sister Junko… Mukuro… my mother Asuna… my father Seiyu…
Yukio: We are all very successful.
Saya: I-I can't believe it! I even worked with Junko herself in a movie!
Yukio: In addition to also being very successful, we are also constantly submitted into heavy moments of despair.
Saya: Despair?
Kyouko: What do you mean by despair?...
Yukio: Ah yes. You guys have sponge brains. I seem to have forgotten.
Yukio: By despair… I simply mean we have no hope.
Yukio: That has always been the Enoshima way. It's not just the Enoshima way.
Ayako: You mean you aren't the only people constantly subjected to despair?
Yukio: What an idiotic question.
Yukio: Of course I'm not.
Yukio: Have you ever been to a very busy urban street in the middle of the city?
Yukio: Have you seen the families outside, struggling to live and survive?
Yukio: It is not just we who are struggling to despair.
Yukio: Or maybe we are…
Yukio: Or maybe we aren't…
Yukio: So stop talking to me like that!
Yukio: Whoops. That wasn't in character of me. I apologize.
Ayako: J-just what kind of guy is he?
Yukio: In fact, we Enoshima's have a name to describe such people that despair as ourselves.
Yukio: You can say it's been some sort of underground disease that has been laying its legs out and beginning to despair.
Hideaki: Hold on a minute… w-while this is very useful information… *cough*
Hideaki: What is the meaning of this?
Yukio: The meaning of what, exactly?
Hideaki: T-this is off character for the puppetmaster.
Yukio: Whoops. I did not mean to be. I apologize.
Hideaki: Y-you didn't properly execute Ayako.
Hideaki: Instead you fished her out with a crossbow and I got in the way.
Yukio: Yes… indeed.
Yukio: It was in fact, part of an elaborate plan.
Yukio: Or was it elaborate?
Yukio: Never mind, I don't suppose it was elaborate at all.
Hideaki: And this plan was?
Yukio: You see Hideaki, I could say that you were my biggest enemy at the trial right now.
Hideaki: I was?
Yukio: Yes.
Yukio: Or were you?
Hideaki: Get to the point!
Yukio: I needed a way to fish out and kill you. I was honestly surprised when you escaped your first execution.
Yukio: I had honestly thought I had killed you that time. It wasn't an act.
Ayako: Yeah… I remember how he was acting as Monokuma. He was confident Hideaki was dead.
Yukio: You see, after that, I realized that your multi-talents made it rather hard to get to you.
Yukio: As a Super Highschool Level Spy, I had doubts that I'd be able to execute you.
Hideaki: You mean you thought that I'd be able to escape again?
Yukio: Yes.
Yukio: Let me clear something up while I'm at it. Ayako was not the killer of Kouichi.
Saya: W-what?
Suguru: Then why did you -?!
Yukio: Relax. Let me talk about this.
Yukio: You see… the class trial where you were supposed to find out my identity?
Yukio: The pieces of evidence Saya found were planted by me.
Saya: A-are you kidding me?!
Yukio: They were designed to cast suspicion upon Hideaki and his role as the puppetmaster.
Yukio: Unfortunately, I cannot say that it worked for the better.
Saya: Give me a break!
Ayako: You asshole! You made Hideaki seem like the puppetmaster!
Yukio: Mm, yes. I take full responsibility.
Yukio: It does not do me proud to lie. I am a man of my words most of the time, I assure you.
Yukio: However, it was always the Enoshima belief that a white lie is sometimes necessary to reach a certain point.
Yukio: My point, or "goal," shall we say it, was to kill Hideaki, who was in fact my greatest enemy.
Hideaki: But why?
Yukio: You mean you don't remember?
Hideaki: N…ngh!
Yukio: That's only natural though. You couldn't remember anyways.
Hideaki: What was that?
Yukio: Moving on…
Hideaki: H-hold on!
Yukio: No.
Hideaki: …
Ayako: H-he shut Hideaki up… That's impressive…
Yukio: As I said before, I was worried that Hideaki would have been able to escape if I merely sent him off on an execution.
Yukio: Every execution has a way to escape.
Yukio: In Aaron's execution… brute force could have broken that glass.
Yukio: In Noburu's execution… he could have untied the rope, even while being pelted by paintballs.
Yukio: In Setsuna's execution, it is the same scenario.
Yukio: Et cetera, et cetera.
Hideaki: But my talent as a spy..?
Yukio: Yes. That's how you managed to survive the flames, isn't it?
Saya: T-that reminds me… how did you survive your execution?
Hideaki: I don't think that's… important right now… *cough*
Hideaki: But it wasn't anything extraordinary. I just simply missed the flames.
Suguru: That's why you're a little burned?
Roger: *growl*
Yukio: Moving onwards… I then had a plan.
Yukio: Was it a good plan? Was it a bad one?
Yukio: I don't exactly know…
Ayako: Shut up already and get on with it!
Yukio: Relax.
Yukio: My plan was to get something precious to Hideaki, and kill him for it.
Ayako: H-huh?
Ayako: I'm "precious" to Hideaki?
Hideaki: T-tch!
Yukio: While Hideaki was working as my right eye as a mole serving me, he would give me reports about everyone else except Ayako.
Yukio: Naturally, I caught onto that, and while I investigated the behavior between the two of you, I saw that you two were gradually growing closer together.
Hideaki: G-get to the goddamn point!
Yukio: Interruptions like that unfortunately only make my explanations longer.
Yukio: Or does it..?
Ayako: We get it already!
Yukio: Shut up, bitch!
Ayako: Uhh!
Yukio: Excuse me. That was off character. I apologize.
Kichiro: I-is this guy for real, or is he just acting like that?
Yukio: Now if I may explain again with fewer interruptions, I'd appreciate it.
Yukio: Ayako, you were a precious item to Hideaki.
Ayako: …I was?
Saya: What do you mean, "I was?" Wasn't that completely obvious?
Kyouko: I-I wouldn't say, "item," though, Mr. Puppetmaster…
Yukio: You are correct. Bad word choice in my part.
Yukio: I am gravely apologetic.
Yukio: Anyways…
Yukio: …
Ayako: …What?
Yukio: I was waiting for an interruption.
Ayako: Huh?!
Yukio: Moving on.
Yukio: Ayako was very important to Hideaki. Oh, how should I say this…
Yukio: Hideaki "wants to get his kink on with Ayako," in the words of Monokuma.
Ayako: I-if you say it like that..!
Hideaki: …
Yukio: Hideaki fell in love with Ayako after she came to him.
Yukio: Hideaki wanted to protect Ayako more than anything as Ayako allowed him to be around her like a real person. Not some stoic anti-social freak.
Yukio: And while that is very sweet...
Yukio: It also fucking disgusts me! Hi-yah!
Ayako: Huh?
Yukio: Excuse me for going off topic again. Let's move on.
Ayako: Q-quit going off-topic then!
Yukio: I cannot say exactly whether or not Ayako returns those feelings to Hideaki. I can't imagine she doesn't though, as she seems to openly have feelings for him as well.
Ayako: …
Ayako: Do I?
Ayako: I never thought about that... all I thought about was how I wanted to protect Hideaki as a friend.
Ayako: But do I "like him" more than that?
Yukio: You seem troubled, Ayako. Is something the matter?
Ayako: O-oh, no!
Ayako: Wait! Why are you being so polite to the puppetmaster?!
Ayako: Fuck no!
Hideaki: Why is it taking so long to explain this to us?!
Hideaki: Why can't you talk about the plan?
Yukio: I am talking about the plan right now as we speak. However, I felt it was appropriate to talk about these prerequisites for the plan.
Yukio: Anyways... for the very fucking last time!
Yukio: Whoops. I –
Suguru: Went off character! We get it!
Yukio: My, my? Aren't you feisty?
Yukio: Yes. Ayako was heavily important to Hideaki.
Yukio: I knew that the one way I could possibly kill Hideaki... is to take something important away from him.
Hideaki: Huh?
Ayako: T-take something away?
Yukio: I have to admit. I was a little surprised to see you jump in front of my arrow. Not saying I'm disappointed though...
Hideaki: You bastard..!
Yukio: Normally, what I expected to happen is that Hideaki would have done something along the lines of suicide.
Yukio: I knew Hideaki's past, and I can tell you that if Ayako was killed by me, he would have injured himself in some way.
Saya: D-do you think that Ayako really is that important to Hideaki..?
Yukio: I believe so. I think you should believe so too.
Yukio: However, that is not my judgment, nor is it an important one if I messed up.
Ayako: Y-you mean if your plan failed and I actually was killed for no reason?
Yukio: Yes, indeed. If you died... well, you'd just be another unimportant character.
Ayako: A... character?
Ayako: ...What is this to you?
Yukio: Hmm? What's what to me?
Ayako: This... this coliseum.
Ayako: This taking of people's lives.
Ayako: Are you really just treating it like a game?!
Yukio: Of course I am.
Yukio: As I said, I am constantly subjected into oodles and oodles of despair.
Yukio: Hmm... oodles. That doesn't sound like something I'd normally say.
Kichiro: The hell does despair have to do with all of this?
Yukio: You do not know my goals yet. All you know, or all that you think you know, is that I am some sarcastic human being that locked you all up here for shits and giggles.
Yukio: But there's a reason that I locked you up in this so called hell hole.
Yukio: No, there's a reason that we locked you up.
Ayako: We? So there's more than one person?
Yukio: Indeed there is.
Yukio: And it's rather shameful too that my own family doesn't think that I can do this myself.
Yukio: You know, I've always hated my family.
Yukio: I wonder what it's like not to be forced into despair?
Ayako: You were forced into despair
Yukio: Never mind that. It's not important. I'd rather discuss something else anyways.
Ayako: What else is there to talk about..? What are we going to do now?
Yukio: Are you perhaps forgetting the second part of this trial? It wasn't just to finger out who killed Kouichi, which by the way, was Hideaki.
Kichiro: S-so, Ayako tried to kill us?
Yukio: I wouldn't say she tried to kill you.
Yukio: She just found Hideaki's life to be more important than yours.
Kichiro: H...huh?!
Kichiro: B-but...
Suguru: She's not the kind of person like that!
Roger: Bark! Bark!
Yukio: Ho? It looks like even the dog agrees with you.
Yukio: Unfortunately this is the sad reality you guys must accept.
Saya: Ayako... is this true?
Ayako: …
Ayako: Yes...It is. But I feel like if I tell them...
Ayako: …
Ayako: Yes... I tried to frame myself.
Saya: So in short, you didn't think of us to be important?!
Suguru: W-what..?
Ayako: I... I'm sorry.
Saya: Were we the only ones who thought that you were our friend?
Ayako: Huh? S-Saya's not the person to say that, so...
Saya: We trusted you.
Saya: We were all sad that you were voted to be the killer...
Saya: And yet it was all a trick.
Ayako: S-Saya...
Yukio: Now, now. Let's not get off-topic.
Yukio: We are discussing something else. Not your relationship problems.
Saya: Fair enough. What's important right now is for us to survive.
Saya: So we'll discover all the mysteries of this school! In this very class trial!
Kichiro: Er, I do have a question though.
Yukio: Yes?
Kichiro: It almost seems like you're spoon-feeding us answers... why?
Yukio: What? You don't like it?
Kichiro: Well, I'm not saying that...
Yukio: I find it rather odd. I mean, it's only human nature for people to want information fed to them on a silver platter.
Yukio: Humans like that are naïve and lazy. But I am a man of many things, and I like to stick to the norm whenever possible.
Yukio: Or am I man? Can I still be considered a teenager?
Kyouko: T-that's right! You're freaking young!
Yukio: Correct. I am about 18 years old. I look like a high school student, don't I?
Kichiro: Y-yeah... how is it that you set this all up?
Yukio: Don't worry. That should come up through the events of this trial. However, do remember that I am an Enoshima.
Yukio: My family are all in despair, and we have the funds to do this sort of thing.
Ayako: That's right... there's no way some ordinary madman was able to pay for all of this.
Ayako: From the executions... to accommodating this academy.
Yukio: It is sort of a weird thing we do.
Yukio: Such as you guys have titles for your many talents...
Yukio: We have a title for what we believe the world should be consumed in.
Yukio: We enjoy calling ourselves, Super Highschool Level Despair.
Ayako: Huh?
Suguru: W-what's that?!
Hideaki: Super... Highschool Level Despair? *cough *
Yukio: Indeed.
Yukio: How did we get the name, you ask?
Yukio: It was this sickening environment of Hope's Peak Academy that inspired this title, you see.
Saya: This academy was considered to be a beacon of hope to young teenagers hoping to find a start in life.
Saya: Is that why you picked the name, Super Highschool Level Despair?
Yukio: Indeed.
Yukio: It was a unanimous vote. We all thought it was an ironic title.
Ayako: ...Super Highschool Level Despair...
Ayako: Why does that sound so familiar?
Yukio: Ho? Do you have something on your mind, Ayako?
Ayako: N-no...
Ayako: It's so familiar. Why do I know that title?
/=/=/phase eight\=\=\
Epiphany Anagram!
KIYOMASA
Ayako: I got it!
BREAK!
Ayako: Super Highschool Level Despair...
Ayako: I know I've heard of that title before.
Saya: It does seem to be vaguely familiar to me as well.
Ayako: That was Senji's title, wasn't it?
Saya: Y-you're right. I believe it was!
Yukio: Senji Kiyomasa? Oh, I almost forgot about that man.
Yukio: Not a teenager, but man.
Ayako: Huh?
Yukio: Didn't you think that Senji looked a little mature?
Yukio: He barely passed off as a highschool student, but in reality, he was actually 24 at the time he died.
Yukio: Isn't it funny though? I'm pretty sure his birthday was last week.
Yukio: How depressing.
Ayako: Senji wasn't a highschool student?!
Yukio: Why are you so surprised? It's not like it matters much anyhow.
Yukio: The point is, yet, his title was Super Highschool Level Despair.
Yukio: I'm glad you brought that up though.
Ayako: Uh, you are?
Suguru: I-if Senji was a Highschool Level Despair, does that mean he was involved with your little organization?
Yukio: We are not an organization, so to speak.
Yukio: Oh, how should I say this? We are a group of people wrapped around despair. We have no official rules or anything like that.
Yukio: As long as you permanently despaired your entire life, you are a part of Super Highschool Level Despair.
Kyouko: But that's... not for you to decide, is it?
Yukio: What do you mean?
Yukio: What else would you call a phenomenon of despair?
Yukio: I feel that it is a fitting name. It shall soon catch on sooner or later.
Hideaki: …
Yukio: Are you troubled Hideaki?
Hideaki: ...*burp*
Yukio: Ho? That wasn't very polite.
Hideaki: …
[Soon after Yukio said that, Hideaki ran to the back of the courtroom, and vomited out blood for what seemed like an eternity.]
Ayako: Hideaki!
Hideaki: I-I'm alright...
Yukio: It looks like the poison is finally starting to take a little effect.
Yukio: Though, don't worry. You still won't die for a while.
Hideaki: T-that's...
Yukio: Pointless?
Yukio: I suppose you're right. Knowing you're going to die will put you in a state of despair.
Yukio: Or does it?
Yukio: Maybe it's hope?
Suguru: How would it be hope? If you're going to die, you're going to die! There's no hope in that!
Yukio: Is that right?
Yukio: Were you not all trapped in this school? Did you not see all your friends die in front of you?
Yukio: Did the thought of, "I can leave this place if I just die," ever cross your mind?
Yukio: I'm sure it crossed some of your minds.
Ayako: Never mind all that. We were talking about Senji, right?
Yukio: Correct. Senji is a part of Super Highschool Level Despair, which can be described as a phenomenon.
Yukio: However, what did he have to do with Super Highschool Level Despair, exactly? Isn't that question burning in your minds?
Suguru: What do you mean? Did Senji have something important to due with Super Highschool Level Despair?
Yukio: Was he important?
Kyouko: Huh? He wasn't? Then what's the point of him?
Kyouko: I mean, he forgot his memories... was he a bother to you guys?
Yukio: Of course he was. That's why we put him under the coliseum. He forgot all about his involvement with Super Highschool Level Despair, and he even forgot his despair.
Yukio: He was just an ordinary highschool student. He didn't even remember his age.
Hideaki: W... what did he have to do with despair though?
Yukio: You see... he wasn't involved with despair at all.
Ayako: Huh?!
Ayako: Then... that means!
Saya: But Taisuke didn't tell Senji his talent because he was worried about the title!
Yukio: Yes. If you want to say it like that, then the two of them died in vain.
Ayako: Wait... so, the two of them... what?
Yukio: You see, they were involved in a top-secret organization to cleanse the world of Super Highschool Level Despair.
Yukio: I'm not sure if I should tell you this...
Yukio: Should I?
Yukio: Should I not?
Ayako: J-just tell us!
Yukio: Oh, alright.
Yukio: You see, Senji and Taisuke were both founders of a certain group.
Yukio: They were called...
Yukio: ...the Future Foundation.
Suguru: W-what's that?
Yukio: As of now, it is an exclusive, yet top secret group that wants to get rid of Super Highschool Level Despair.
Yukio: They fear that our despair may become a widespread, which is why it was founded.
Ayako: B-but if they were apart of that, then why were they called despair?
Yukio: Senji was the leader of the Future Foundation. However, he needed more information on us, since his subordinates weren't able to get any.
Yukio: He took a major risk... and joined Super Highschool Level Despair. Undercover, that is.
Yukio: Ahaha! What a fucking dumbass!
Yukio: Excuse me. That was off character. I apologize.
Ayako: G-gimme a damn break..!
Saya: So what are you saying?! Was Senji on our side?
Yukio: Uh, fuckin' DUH!
Yukio: Oh my. My personality is changing quite a lot today.
Yukio: Perhaps I should take my meds...
Yukio: Anyways, yes. He was trying to stop despair and went undercover.
Yukio: As you can probably imagine, it did not work well for him at all.
Yukio: He did not return or come in contact with Taisuke, the "vice-president," in other words, and Taisuke went to check up on Senji.
Ayako: S-so... what happened next was...
Yukio: I can see what you are thinking, and you are correct.
Yukio: He was captured and then forced to participate in this coliseum.
Saya: G...Good God...
Yukio: Yes. The memories of the two special people at the Future Foundation. They were completely wiped out.
Ayako: How did you wipe out their memories?!
Yukio: It wasn't just their memories that were wiped out.
Yukio: The memories of all of you... they're gone.
Ayako: Huh?
Ayako: N-no..!
Ayako: It can't be!
Yukio: I can see the shock on all of your faces, and let me assure you that I am not lying. Nor would I ever "lie" about something as sensitive as this.
Hideaki: H-how did you do it? How did you manage to take our memories away..?
Yukio: I believe there is a scientific way to do it. One way is to damage a section of your brain to eliminate a certain memory.
Hideaki: Even still, if you do that... *cough *
Suguru: H... haha... heh...
Suguru: I don't believe it one bit!
Kichiro: Neither do I! That's fucking bullshit!
Saya: To say to us that our memories were taken from us... that's impossible!
Ayako: Is it?
Ayako: Is there a certain point of time that our memories might have actually been stolen?
Yukio: I assure you that it is true.
Yukio: Why would I have any reason to lie anymore? I practically killed Hideaki. You guys are falling deeper and deeper into despair as I say things.
Ayako: I just have to convince the others...
Ayako: Then it'll be alright.
/=/=/phase nine\=\=\
Nonstop Debate!
Yukio: From the beginning... the middle... and the end of your time here at Hope's Peak Academy.
Yukio: You all had your memories stolen.
Yukio: Or did we steal them..?
Suguru: B-bullshit!
Suguru: When did you steal our memories?!
Kichiro: I... I don't believe it either!
Kichiro: We didn't forget anything!
Saya: I-if we don't face this as the truth...
BREAK!
[Piece of ammo used: the phrase: "...beginning."]
Ayako: I think I know... when we had our memories taken from us.
Suguru: Huh?
Saya: Why should we listen to you?! You tried to fucking kill us!
Ayako: I know, but hear me out!
Ayako: Remember when we first got at this school?
Hideaki: We went inside the school, and we were knocked out, weren't we?
Saya: O-our minds got fuzzy. We woke up in a part of the school.
Saya: What of it?
Ayako: What if... that was a bridge between when we lost our memories?
Yukio: Well, because it is.
Ayako: Huh?
Yukio: Yes. Ayako hit the nail on the head.
Saya: We had our memories taken from us at the entrance ceremony?!
Yukio: Naturally it took a little while. It took a while to remove your memories. But in the end... despair prevailed!
Saya: T-then I'll get straight to the point...
Saya: What memories did you steal from us?!
Ayako: …
Ayako: Wait a minute...
Ayako: That's not right.
Ayako: H-hold on just a minute, Saya.
Yukio: What is it, oh smart one? Would you like to say something else?
Ayako: Is it possible... that we didn't have our memories taken from us from that point?
Hideaki: What?!
Yukio: That's impossible. I apologize.
Ayako: B-but...
Yukio: That's enough of that. Should we move on?
Ayako: For some reason, he doesn't want me to get this right.
Ayako: But I have evidence to show that we didn't have our memories taken from us from that point!
/=/=/phase ten\=\=\
Nonstop Debate!
Yukio: It is impossible that I didn't steal any of your memories. Period.
Saya: To assume that you did steal some of our memories... we would feel like we had forgotten something.
Suguru: I-I was so in shock, I didn't even think about it!
Yukio: What proof do you have that I didn't steal your memories?
Kyouko: T-this is insane...
Kyouko: I can't take this anymore!
BREAK!
[Piece of ammo used: Hideaki's Exit and Entrance]
Ayako: Yukio, if you may, you confirmed that we lost our memories when we entered the school, right?
Yukio: Yes. I stole your memories, and the gap between when I did and what I stole lies in the fuzziness you experienced when you first walked into the school.
Ayako: But that's impossible!
Yukio: And why is it impossible?
Ayako: Hideaki left the school a while back, and entered the school again for us.
Ayako: He experienced the very same fuzziness.
Ayako: Did you steal his memories twice then?
Yukio: …
Yukio: Interesting prospect.
Yukio: While I am going to bring up another topic that is completely off-topic and irrelevant to the conversation...
Yukio: I'm going to leave these questions hanging above your head.
Yukio: One, why is it that Hideaki experienced that fuzziness a second time?
Hideaki: W-why did I black out again, you mean?
Yukio: Two, what memories did I exactly steal from you?
Saya: It's true that you might have stolen our memories.
Saya: But I don't know if you would have benefited from it in any way.
Yukio: Lastly...
Yukio: Is Hideaki telling the truth?
Ayako: H-huh?! What do you mean?
Yukio: The fact that he left the school is a rather ridiculous proposition.
Yukio: I watched over recorded video footage time and time again.
Yukio: There's no way Hideaki escaped without me noticing.
Hideaki: …*cough *
Ayako: Hideaki?
Hideaki: …
Ayako: B-but! Even if he was lying... why would he?
Ayako: Is there anything to gain from lying to me about leaving the school?
Yukio: That's for you to discover during this trial... you fucking dumbass!
Yukio: I apologize. That was off character.
Hideaki: O-One last thing before we change subject.
Yukio: Yes, stutter king?
Hideaki: Assuming that you did steal our memories... why? What purpose do you have in stealing our memories?
Yukio: …
Yukio: That's a mystery, isn't it?
Yukio: You would like to know... I know you would. But first I'd rather talk about something else.
Yukio: Rin.
Rin: Huh? Er, yada?
Yukio: You haven't uttered a word in such a while. Are you okay?
Rin: Of course I'm okay! Go get your fucking underwear and stick it wayyyy up your ass!
Ayako: W-why are you calling out Rin all of a sudden?
Yukio: Have you noticed she hasn't uttered a word since I came into the playing field? I wonder why that is.
Hideaki: S-she's nervous, maybe.
Yukio: That's not true, obviously. Insanity cancels out fear in all retrospects, whether you like it or not.
Rin: Shoosh yeah! I'm fucking insane aren't I?!
Yukio: Hmm... I wonder why.
Rin: …
Yukio: Why you were so quiet...
Rin: …
Yukio: Why... you turned to insanity...
Rin: ..!
Yukio: Do you want to know why Rin?
Rin: Uh...
Rin: Ha! I could care less about my past!
Rin: I love the insane me! Fuuuuuuck yeah!
Yukio: …I see.
Yukio: Well then...
Yukio: Okay!
Ayako: Okay?
Yukio: My lips are sealed! You will not nor ever know why your personality made such a jump! From being a polite piano player, to now having a fetish for insanity...
Yukio: Oh well!
Rin: Well if you say it like that, you dumbass, of course I want to know!
Yukio: Too late.
Yukio: Besides. I'm tired.
Yukio: I've been explaining a bunch of shit to you guys for who knows how long.
Yukio: I'd rather take a nice... long... snooze.
Ayako: …
Ayako: So what do you expect us to do?!
Yukio: Let's see what mysteries you solved so far...
Yukio: Super Highschool Level Despair and their identity. Is that it?
Ayako: We still need to find out about our memories...
Rin: And my past! Ya dingleberry!
Suguru: Uh, I thought you didn't care.
Rin: Of course I did! I'm just the type of girl to hide her feelings!
Hideaki: …
Yukio: Fine then. But you know, I feel like I've been spoon-feeding you the answers all this time.
Yukio: So let me ask you... is there anything else you wish to talk about?
Ayako: Uh, what about our mem-
Yukio: Except that.
Ayako: …
Ayako: Let's see...
Ayako: Anything else to discuss..?
/=/=/phase eleven\=\=\
Nonstop Debate!
Yukio: The school's mysteries... only one thing lies between you and the truth.
Kyouko: What else is there to talk about, though?
Suguru: I can't... think of anything right now.
Saya: Honestly... what does he expect us to remember?
Kichiro: After going through all that shock... damn.
Hideaki: …
Yukio: Come on. Converse. What shall we discuss?
BREAK!
[Piece of ammo used: Pictures]
Ayako: I think it's obvious... that we should talk about the pictures.
Hideaki: The pictures of our families... that were found in the AV Room?
Yukio: Oh. Fine choice you picked out.
Kichiro: Er, I think the biggest question is how the school got them.
Yukio: Perhaps you gave it to them?
Kichiro: Huh?
Yukio: When you entered this school, you required an I.D and a photo of your family to enter this school.
Kichiro: So that's how they got the picture?
Kichiro: Damn... and I thought there was something more sinister to it.
Yukio: What do you mean sinister?
Kyouko: Like, you went into our houses and slaughtered our family... taking the photos yourself.
Rin: Not like I care about what happens to my family! Yahoo!
Yukio: Yes. I am witnessing a case of natural curiosity... You want to know whether or not there is something deeper, right?
Yukio: Something with a darker secrets surrounding your families.
Ayako: A-are you saying... that there are some?
Yukio: There is one, actual, major key point.
Yukio: It's a plot twist that no one will get! Yahoo!
Yukio: I apologize. That was –
Kyouko: Holy crap, that's getting so annoying.
Yukio: Ahem... anyways, you want to know, right?
Hideaki: What dark secrets lay in our family... of course I want to know.
Saya: I'm not sure I'm up for this.
Suguru: R-Roger! Hold me!
Roger: Bark!
Ayako: Are you going to tell us now?
Yukio: Am I going to tell you?
Yukio: …
Yukio: *yawn *
Yukio: No.
Ayako: What?
Suguru: The?
Kichiro: Hell?!
Saya: Why aren't you telling us?!
Yukio: This is tiring and bothersome. I know I promised that we'd find out all the secrets of the school...
Yukio: But you guys aren't figuring anything out by yourself.
Ayako: So you won't tell us anything?!
Yukio: Not to mention I'm tired. My voice hurts a little.
Saya: C-c'mon! Tell us already!
Yukio: No.
Suguru: Pl-
Yukio: No.
Kichiro: Fu-
Yukio: -ck you.
Ayako: ...Yukio is not going to talk this way. I need to get him to talk right now!
Ayako: What the hell happened with our families?!
/=/=/phase twelve\=\=\
Machinegun Talk Battle!
Yukio: I am bored of this.
Yukio: *Yawn *
Yukio: Fuck all of you! Whoops. Off character.
Yukio: Please do not make me repeat myself.
Yukio: I wish for you to find out the truth yourself.
Yukio: Tell me why you want to know so bad.
Yukio: Is it that you're curious?
Yukio: Would you like to know so bad that your insides are scratching out of you?
Yukio: Please tell me.
Yukio: Is there a reason?
Yukio: That you want to know so bad?
Yukio: Because of there is... you'd better find it out yourself. So...
Yukio: What happened to your parents? What do they relate to all of this?
Piece of ammo used: Sub-zero Locker
BREAK!
Ayako: The sub-zero locker... and the boxes?
Yukio: Ding, dong, ding, dong.
Yukio: You want to know the truth? It's not that we couldn't afford to stuff your dead friends in the freezer.
Yukio: We didn't choose too because it would have become overcrowded.
Yukio: You see, the bodies in that freezer...
Yukio: May contain the dead body of one of your parents.
Suguru: H...
Suguru: HUUUUUUUUUUUNH?!
Saya: W...why only one?!
Yukio: There's no secret meaning in that. We just decided we'd only keep one. I suppose it was another matter of preserving space.
Ayako: You... you sick bastard!
Ayako: Y-you mean one of my parents are in there?!
Ayako: B-but!
Suguru: I don't believe it one bit!
Kyouko: We would have recognized one of our parents then! We wouldn't have stood idly by!
Rin: Yahoo! I'm only a little bit sad!
Ayako: Only a little? What the hell?!
Hideaki: S-so what were the pictures for then?
Yukio: No secret meaning in that either. I put them in the AV Room since I had nowhere else to stuff them.
Hideaki: Y-you...
Hideaki: You!
Yukio: I wouldn't stress to much, Hideaki, or else you might end up dying earlier than you would want.
Hideaki: ..!
Ayako: H-Hideaki! Please calm down!
Saya: D-don't tell him to calm down! You got us in all of this!
Ayako: M-me?!
Kichiro: Y-you tried to kill us, you bitch!
Ayako: I-I'm sorry! I messed up! I panicked!
Kyouko: What the hell?!
Rin: Wow! I'm like the most sane one at this court right now!
Rin: Ahahaha!
Yukio: Is that right, Rin?
Rin: EH?! What are you saying again, you four-eyes?
Yukio: Ha. Do you know why you are insane?
Rin: You never told me, you dumbass!
Yukio: My goal is to make all of you despair.
Yukio: It appears that making Rin despair is harder than it looks.
Rin: Whatcha talking about?!
Yukio: You guys want to take a guess? C'mon.
Yukio: Why do YOU think that Rin is crazy?
Ayako: Does it have something to do with her past? S-she never moved away when I knew her... so... was she acting?!
Rin: Oh right! I forgot you were my childhood friend, gurl!
Suguru: A former friend!
Ayako: ..!
Ayako: I feel like I messed up big time in trying to save Hideaki... but...
Hideaki: …I'm sorry, Rin.
Rin: Eh?! Big bro?!
Hideaki: Your personality turned that way because of me.
Rin: What you talkin' bout?!
Rin: Aha! I talked urban!
Yukio: Yes. I believe Hideaki told you this story, Ayako...
Yukio: But as the brother-sister bond of Hideaki and Rin grew...
Yukio: He was taken away.
Ayako: What?
Hideaki: Taken away by the government for spy tasks.
Hideaki: I had to leave Rin and her family to do that.
Hideaki: That might have been around the time where Rin's personality shifted.
Rin: Y-you lie! Son of a bitch, I mean, I tried to kill you, you know!
Yukio: Is that not because you harbored feelings of hatred towards him?
Rin: H-huh?!
Rin: Ha! Y-yeah right! I'm not that kind of girl, bitch!
Yukio: You're right... you're not.
Rin: Whatcha talking about?
Kichiro: You just said that she had feelings of hate towards Hideaki, but you're contradicting yourself right now!
Yukio: First off, let's talk business. How big in despair are you right now?
Saya: What kind of question is that?! Why do you keep stalling points like this?!
Yukio: That's just the kind of man I am. I am the kind to leave people at suspense.
Yukio: Besides. It's rather annoying that I must keep explaining things to you. However, things all have a purpose at the end.
Hideaki: G-get to the point!
Yukio: Did I not say that any other stress would kill you? Wouldn't you rather say goodbye to your friends before your exit?
Hideaki: ..!
Yukio: Or would you?
Yukio: Or would you not..?
Ayako: Friends...
Ayako: That word is jumping up in my face.
Ayako: I feel like I betrayed all of my friends.
Ayako: And now they hate me. They'll hate me forever.
Yukio: Ayako? You look troubled?
Ayako: …
Yukio: Are you upset that you tried to kill everyone and save one person?
Yukio: Because I'm sure the others won't forgive you.
Ayako: I...
Saya: Let's discuss this at a different time. We cannot afford to hold any hostile feelings!
Yukio: Besides. I believe we were talking about how heavy your despair is.
Yukio: On a scale to 1-10... please tell me how hard you are despairing.
Saya: …
Kichiro: W-why would we answer that?
Yukio: ...I see.
Yukio: By not answering this question...
Yukio: You have just proved that you are all in maximum despair!
Saya: M-maximum despair?
Kichiro: What are you talking about?!
Yukio: Right now, I'm going to reveal to you...
Yukio: My ultimate secret of despair!
Rin: Your secret of despair?! Don't fucking mutter those words!
Yukio: Rin! Let me tell you why you are so damn insane!
Rin: Huh?!
Rin: Ha! Even if you told me! I'd... I'd –
Yukio: What memories do you have of Hideaki?
Rin: Eh?!
Yukio: Answer the question.
Rin: ...What do you mean, memories?
Yukio: Do you love him? Do you hate him?
Yukio: Do you remember spending time with him?
Rin: …
Rin: …
Rin: Alright... But just because if I don't we'll all die!
Rin: I loved Hideaki.
Hideaki: Rin...
Rin: As a brother. He was a great friend to me.
Rin: But then he left...
Rin: Why did he leave?! All my hatrid!
Rin: It turned to insanity! Ahahaha!
Hideaki: R-Rin...
Saya: You turned insane just because of that!
Rin: Naturally It wasn't just because of that, you ding dong!
Rin: There's a deeper reason that that! Deeper than the fucking ocean!
Yukio: While I feel like I've heard that before...
Yukio: Saya is right in the fact that no one would turn insane over that.
Rin: What?!
Suguru: So what are you saying?!
Suguru: Are you saying Rin was insane from the start?
Yukio: Of course not.
Yukio: But let me bring up another topic in addition to this.
Kyouko: Are you avoiding the topic again?
Yukio: I am not. Like I said, I am simply adding a discussion to what we are already talking about now. Now, with that said...
Yukio: Let me ask you, what do you think was stolen from you?
Ayako: Huh?
Ayako: You mean in terms of our memories?
Yukio: Yes. What exactly did I steal from you?
Yukio: You don't know, do you?
Ayako: I... I –
Yukio: Now let me go back to the topic of Rin.
Rin: ..!
Yukio: What memories did I steal from her?
Ayako: Uh...
Yukio: Incorrect!
Ayako: I didn't say anything!
Yukio: I stole the memories of your family.
Ayako: ...What?
Ayako: But, you just said in that freezer!
Yukio: You think you don't recognize them because of their decayed skin?!
Yukio: Bullshit! Some of their faces are still in tact, aren't they? Did you bother to take a notice in that? Huh?
Ayako: …
Ayako: You mean... what?!
Hideaki: B-but that's impossible!
Hideaki: I remember the face of my parents clear as day!
Yukio: …
Yukio: Do you?
Hideaki: H-huh?!
Yukio: Do you want me to be honest with you?
Yukio: You were all test subjects to us!
Hideaki: W-we were test subjects?
Yukio: Yes!
Yukio: You were test subjects!
Yukio: You were my test subjects of despair!
Rin: Get to the fucking point already!
Suguru: Tell us what we were your tests for!
Kyouko: D-did you rape us or something?!
Saya: I-I doubt he did that...
Yukio: …
Hideaki: Well?
Hideaki: Tell us what you did!
Yukio: ...
Yukio: Fuck all of you!
Yukio: I'm fucking tired of explaining every fucking things to your fucking minds!
Yukio: Ha! I'm fucking off-character! But I've lost it!
Yukio: Day after day after day after dayafterdayafterdayafterdayafterdaydaydaydaydayday ...
Yukio: I really can't take this shit anymore! Playing as Monokuma!
Yukio: Playing as your mastermind!
Yukio: The faster I get this done, the better!
Yukio: …
Ayako: T-this guy is losing so many nuts!
Yukio: I apologize very much for my outburst.
Ayako: ...Either way.
Ayako: I'm going to have to get the truth out of this yourself.
/=/=/phase thirteen\=\=\
Epiphany Anagram!
MEMORIES
Ayako: I got it!
BREAK!
Ayako: You did something to our memories...
Ayako: That much is clear.
Ayako: Does what you were testing involve our memories?
Yukio: Yes!
Yukio: You are all test subjects to my despair!
Yukio: Super Level Highschool Despair...
Yukio: We were testing how to steal memories!
Yukio: We were testing how to implant memories!
Yukio: We were testing... your memories!
Ayako: …
Hideaki: …
Saya: …
Suguru: …
Rin: ...Ho!
Kyouko: …
Kichiro: …
Yukio: This silence... it reeks of despair.
Yukio: So much... orgasmic despair...
Yukio: It's not just your memories we're testing... Junko's too...
Yukio: But do you all want to know something else?
Ayako: H-huh?
Ayako: T-there's more?!
Hideaki: ...Please... please stop...
Yukio: I'm going to show you...
Saya: ..!
Yukio: A little bit...
Kichiro: ...Tch!
Rin: Hmm...
Yukio: More...
Kyouko: ...Ngh!
Yukio: OF DESPAIR!
Hideaki: …
Saya: There's more?! Stop it!
Kichiro: Y-you better stop fucking around, Enoshima!
Yukio: …
Yukio: Let me...
Yukio: Show you...
Yukio: What's happening...
Yukio: At the outside world!
Yukio: Get ready for despair!
Yukio: Despair!
[Yukio pulls a lever that pulls out in front of his seat. The seats rises on a platform, and the ceiling opens up, and light shines from above. The platform rises... and rises... and rises. Until there is no longer light. The sky is darkened and filled with black death. On the horizon, everyone saw smoke rising from the distance. There was fire rising up from the distance. Ayako looked at everyone's faces. Their faces were filled with dark. It can only be described as despair. As the platform lowered, and the ceiling closed again, what was seen by them could not be simply explained by a fire in the distance. Disaster was happening out at the surface.]
Yukio: Isn't it just despairing?
Yukio: Ahaha! I look forward to hearing your reactions!
Hideaki: ...Wh...what was that?
Saya: ...It looked like the world was ending... right in front of us...
Kyouko: I... I can't believe it!
Kyouko: I don't want to believe it!
Suguru: R-Roger...
Roger: *whimper *
Kichiro: …
Kichiro: What's going on?!
Yukio: Aren't you curious?
Yukio: What's going on right now?
Yukio: Why I left so many times?
Yukio: Particularly this trial?
Ayako: S-stop talking already!
Yukio: Ahaha!
Yukio: Forget it! I've gone past the deep end!
Yukio: This despair! It's so... Orgasmic!
Yukio: I can't even begin to think about how I'll embrace the world outside with it's oozing despair!
Yukio: Let me tell you something, you guys!
Yukio: This is so exhilarating to me!
Yukio: Ahahahaha!
Yukio: What's going on right now, you ask?!
Yukio: What do you want to know about what's happening on the outside?!
Yukio: It's Mankind's Most Despairingly Maleficent and Monstrous Malefaction!
Saya: …
Ayako: …
Hideaki: …
Ayako: Mankind's... Most Despairingly Maleficent and Monstrous Malefaction?
Hideaki: I feel sick... Sicker than before...
Saya: What kind of name is that?!
Hideaki: …
Ayako: H-Hideaki? Are you okay?
[Hideaki falls to the floor, collapsed. Ayako rushed to his side, and held his head with her hands.]
Ayako: H-Hideaki! Wake up!
Yukio: It looks like the sight of the world ending in front of him was too much to handle, wasn't it?!
Saya: …
Kichiro: I... I can't believe it... the world... ending?
Ayako: H-he's breathing... he still has a pulse!
Yukio: Looks like he's still alive.
Yukio: You have permission to keep Hideaki by your seat, Ayako.
Yukio: He'll need a little bit of rest when he wakes up.
Ayako: O-okay...
Ayako: Hideaki... you saved me from this?
Ayako: Your head has a pounding fever. I feel like I'm burning my hand my resting it on you.
Ayako: Please don't die!
Rin: Isn't there a way to save Hideaki, Yukio Enoshima-chan?!
Ayako: R-Rin!
Yukio: I wouldn't have guessed that you would show any worry for Hideaki, Rin! Ah, but what does that matter?! I'm hopping in my seat right now!
Rin: You implanted hatred in my head, you dumbass!
Rin: Hahaha! Like someone said, insanity overcomes despair!
Rin: Yup! I'll forgive Hideaki knowing you were such a dumbass!
Yukio: …
Yukio: I see!
Yukio: Well, that's okay!
Yukio: Well, you've all done it!
Yukio: You've solved all the mysteries of the school!
Suguru: W-we haven't done anything!
Ayako: …
Ayako: I...
Yukio: Now let's do this!
Ayako: Do what?!
Yukio: Ballot time!
Yukio: Class rules!
Ayako: Ballot time?!
Yukio: I said ballot time!
Yukio: Forget voting about Kouichi's death!
Yukio: Let's make things a lot more interesting!
Saya: H-how?!
Saya: How are we supposed to vote for anything?!
Yukio: This is what we are going to do!
Yukio: You guys are hope!
Yukio: I am despair!
Yukio: Do you want to return to that world?
Yukio: That world of despair?
Ayako: …
Ayako: …
Hideaki: (whispering) A...Ayako...
Ayako: Hideaki!
Hideaki: D-don't... don't fall for it...
Ayako: H-huh?!
Yukio: If you vote for hope to lose...
Yukio: Then I win!
Saya: A-and we'll be executed?!
Yukio: Of course not! No one in the right mind would vote for themselves to be killed!
Yukio: So you'll live in this campus!
Saya: H-huh?
Yukio: You will live on with protection in this campus as Super Highschool Level Despair!
Yukio: But if you guys vote against for despair to win...
Yukio: I will execute myself!
Yukio: And you guys, will live on in that ending world!
Ayako: So if we vote against us... we live?!
Yukio: Rotting here is the ultimate punishment while everyone you love dies outside!
Saya: But if we vote to fight against despair...
Yukio: You'll die in this everlasting world of despair!
Yukio: So how's about it?
Yukio: Do you want to die?!
Yukio: Let's start!
Yukio: It's...
Yukio: BALLOT TIME!
…
…
Ballot time?
…
…
This is the end?
Ayako: I...I'm so sorry, you guys.
Saya: A-Ayako...
Ayako: I... was going to kill all of you.
Ayako: But...
Ayako: But..!
Ayako: …
Ayako: Are we going to decide to kill ourselves?
Ayako: Are we really going to vote for hope to win?
…
Hideaki: A...Ayako...
Ayako: Hideaki!
Hideaki: P...please...
Hideaki: D...don't fall for despair... *cough *
Ayako: C-calm down!
Hideaki: Y...you can't...
Yukio: By the way!
Yukio: If you decide to leave this school...
Yukio: I'll press this switch!
Yukio: And the school will be bombed!
Yukio: So how's about it?!
Hideaki: Live on... Ayako...
Hideaki: Hope..!
Ayako: What do I do?!
Ayako: Do I listen to Hideaki?
Yukio: Are you guys going to die?!
Ayako: …
Ayako: …
…
Taisuke: Ayako...
Taisuke: ...the Future Foundation needs to live on...
Why do I here Taisuke's voice?
Taisuke: ...you aren't going to give into despair, are you?
Is that really him?
Taisuke: ...you can't let anyone fall into despair anymore.
…
Taisuke: Help Senji and me... Take down Yukio Enoshima!
…
Hideaki: A...Ayako?
Ayako: ...Was that really him?
Ayako: I heard Taisuke's voice in my head...
Ayako: Or was that my imagination?
Ayako: Hideaki.
Ayako: It doesn't matter.
Ayako: I'm going to... I know I'm going too...
Ayako: Whether or not it was Taisuke...
Ayako: I'm going to take down Yukio Enoshima!
Ayako: I wouldn't have fallen to despair anyways!
Yukio: So? How about it?
Yukio: Are you all ready to die?
/=/=/phase fourteen\=\=\
Nonstop Debate!
Yukio: Are you all ready to drown in despair?!
Yukio: Have you given up all of your hope?
Ayako: ...No... I won't fall to you!
Yukio: When you leave this school...
Yukio: I'll bomb it! You'll never return to this again! No more safety from an already ending world!
Saya: …
Yukio: You'll go out into that world!
Yukio: You saw it yourself! It's ending!
Kichiro: …
Yukio: How orgasmic!
Yukio: You'll be subjected to nothing except death!
Rin: Hahaha! Insanity always overcomes despair!
Yukio: Your dead friends...
Yukio: They'll mean nothing if you just leave now!
Kyouko: …
Yukio: So how's about it?
Yukio: Do you give into despair?!
BREAK!
[Piece of ammo used: the phrase "...hope"]
Ayako: We will not give into despair!
Ayako: I will not give into despair!
Eighth class trial complete! Live to see another day!
"I will not give into your despair!" I yelled. "I will not be destroyed by your despair!"
"...Alright," Yukio said. "That's you. But what about the others?"
I looked at the others, my face brimming with confidence. I looked at Hideaki's weakened face, who was smiling even as he seemed to be on the verge of his death. But I couldn't let that despair me; Hideaki wouldn't have wanted that.
"Everyone," I said. "Don't give into Yukio. Listen to me, I'll be your beacon of hope!"
"...Our beacon of hope?" Saya asked. "Did you really think that we'd need that from you?"
"Huh?"
"We'd never give into despair," Kichiro said. "That speech of yours... I guess that helped us, didn't it?"
"Hell yeah!" Rin laughed. "But I'm already pretty fucking insane!"
"Y-you guys!"
Hideaki struggled to his feet, and pointed at Yukio weakly.
"Y-you see, Yukio?" he started, pointing at Yukio. "Hope... will always win over despair!"
"H...Huh?!" Yukio snapped.
"Bullshit! Bullshit, bullshit!"
"Money fuck!"
"Turkey duck!"
"Shitty shits shit the shitty shit of shits!"
Yukio grabbed at his head, and began pulling his hair out. He stomped over the floor, and crawled to the middle, shaking his body and laughing.
"Wow!" Yukio screamed. "Unbelievable! Even after all that! I couldn't convince you guys to despair! I wish I could tell Junko this! She needs to be careful in the future! It looks like there really is... fragments of hope out there!"
"Alright!" I said. "We vote using this button in front of us, right?"
"It's ballot time!" Suguru exclaimed. "Let's vote together, Roger!"
Bark!
"Ha... Ha!" Yukio laughed. "Alright, you guys! Vote now! Limited supplies, ahaha!"
"It's time to bring down the puppetmaster," Saya said.
"This is orgasmic!" Yukio exclaimed. "I love this!"
Yukio got back up, and ran to his seat, slamming the slot machine on the table. Pulling the lever, his face showed up on all three columns as he laughed to the judge's chair. He took the gavel, and slammed it on the red button.
"Before I die! You guys better hurry after I'm executed! The school is going to be bombed, you know! You have twenty minutes to escape!"
"We'll make it!" I said. "We all will!"
"R...right," Hideaki muttered. "We... all... will..."
"Ayako... We forgive you for betraying us," Saya said. "But even after all of that, you influenced us to keep our hopes high."
"You think pianist is a boring title, right?" Hideaki mumbled. "S...so... we shouldn't call her a pianist anymore. Instead... we should call her hope."
AYAKO KAWASUMI
SUPER HIGHSCHOOL LEVEL HOPE
"You guys really disgust me!" Yukio laughed from on top of the judge's chair. "But that doesn't matter anymore! What matters now, is my execution!"
"You're really going to execute yourself?!" Kyouko asked, shocked.
"Don't mind this crazy fuck," Kichiro said. "Just enjoy the show!"
The man who killed all our friends...
The man who tried to get us to despair...
"It's the end for you, Yukio Enoshima!"
…
"Yes, I suppose it is," Yukio said. "I'm sorry. I've been rather off-character, haven't I?"
"H-huh?"
"But rules are rules. It's time to execute myself, isn't it?"
"H-he's back to his collected self," Saya said.
"This is actually sort of sad," Yukio said. "Not despair sad. But, an actual sadness making me feel disappointed in myself. I couldn't get anyone to despair, did I? Luckily, this isn't the real thing, so... I guess, I didn't mess up completely. I did my job, right Junko?"
…
SPEARS OF DEATH! YUKIO ENOSHIMA IS NOW DEAD!
Yukio stood in the middle of the courtroom, waving to us as the seats lowered into the floor. The rest of us backed up, as spears extended from the groud. As they positioned themselves in front of Yukio, a rope lowered from the ceiling. In addition to all of this, a pool of chemicals opened up below him, a cannon filled with paintballs was aimed at him, along with a large laser gun, and Monobear's were dancing on the ground holding metersticks. Yukio laughed, as the spears pierced through his body.
Still laughing, the spears went deeper and deeper as it lifted him into the ceiling, and into the rope. The spears unsheathed themselves from Yukio's body, and Yukio was hung. Still barely alive, choking, paintballs shot him, as the Monobear's climbed up the spears, and slapped him with metersticks. After Yukio collapsed, he was dead. The laser gun activated, and Yukio's body disintegrated into ashes. The ashes fell, and dropped into the chemical, as it bubbled. There wasn't a hint of Yukio Enoshima anymore.
Despair was dead.
Yukio Enoshima is dead.
The despair has ended.
Now the story is almost over.
But despair can't end here.
Because... this story wouldn't be the story it was...
If it ended right there.
Farewell, the First Academy of Despair.
We'll see you again soon.

It has meant so much to me whenever I pulled up my e-mail, and I saw someone had reviewed or favorited my story.
I was so happy everytime that happened, and that inspired me to write more.
