As Ishimaru teleported out into the streets, he realized that lots had changed from the time he died to now. How long was he dead, exactly? Looking around, it seemed a millennia to him, but that was only because social media was not his forte. Walking around, he received looks of all kinds. Fear, confusion, worry… it was all foreign to him. Without his Kyoudai around (at least, not anymore), Ishimaru decided to head off home, speed walking his way down the street in attempts not to make the false move of bumping into anyone. On his way, however, he spotted a motorcycle gang speeding past him. While taking a look at their uniform, he noticed that it was none other than the Crazy Diamonds. How odd! Their leader was deceased, and yet they still had a leader! From the blur of it, it seemed to be a female. He decided to save the thought for later, and headed on his way to anyone who could give him valid information as to what happened while he was gone. No one seemed to be willing to give him any useful information, putting aside the screams and gasps of horror he received from nearby pedestrians. It was as if he were now an outcast… It's not like he wasn't before or anything; he never wanted to admit it, but know that it was happening, he knew that the only thing he could do was embrace it.

Thinking about what Enoshima had said, Ishimaru decided to head over to the headquarters of the 'good side', wherever that might be. He travelled not too far until he stumbled across a high building, fancy at that, which reminded Ishimaru faintly of his cursed childhood with his grandfather… that's what was so significant about it! This was none other than the Prime Minister's chambers. Letting out a sigh, he proceeded onward towards the doors, where secret security men stood their post to protect the ones inside, most likely. "Excuse me," Ishimaru spoke up, definitely exceeding their height. "Is this the headquarters for the well trained individuals willing to put up against Junko Enoshima and her hoard of Despair?" The men stared at him, before letting him inside with a bow. Sweat dripped from his forehead at the exchange, but he soon got himself over it, before having to walk down an everlasting carpet of red; portrait of Prime Ministers hung on the walls. Once he approached the near end, unironically, a photo was hung of Toranosuke Ishimaru, with his birthdate and death date placed under it, with small cursive writing on a gold plate, most likely done by a machine at the time. Standing in front of it with a glare, he managed to give a salute, and continued on forward to the 'Hall of Representatives', as the banner said above the door to the dining room.

When the men inside figured out that the door had opened, they all stopped to stare, before one stood up to Ishimaru's aid. "Kiyotaka Ishimaru! You're alive!" He exclaimed, dashing over to him almost immediately. "Sit down, Hanamura." Another man spoke up, as Hanamura, the man who had ran over to Ishimaru, sat back down. "We are glad you are here, Kiyotaka. I am assuming Ishida is here with you?" That's right… Ishimaru had completely forgotten about that. The only reason he was resurrected was because P.Y.R.O was kept under intense care. How could he have forgotten?! He wanted Ishida gone, for all he cared! "I know there is not a nurse here at present, but when she is, I request a meeting with Ishida." The man continued, getting a nod from Ishimaru in return. "Understood." Everyone else seemed curious about this, and wondering if Ishimaru could truly bring them to victory. "And I am assuming you are joining our cause of stopping Junko Enoshima?" The room went silent, as they all awaited Kiyotaka's reply. There was no need to address him as Ishimaru; for it would get confusing about who they were talking about; the father, grandfather, or son? "Indeed. I come here for a halt in Enoshima-kun's evildoings!" Everyone stood up and gave a salute back to him. "Welcome to the team, Captain."

Ishimaru took a step back, aghast by all that was happening, before the Hanamura guy walked up to him and placed a refined white suit in his arms, folded up neatly. "You oughta wear this from now on, rain 'r shine. S'Code. It's so people know you're our leader." Ishimaru's expression showed everything he needed to explain his confusion and outright surprise. "I… I cannot accept this! A-Are you…?" "In all seriousness, we request you be our leader. There is no one who can fulfill the role but you. Ah, my name is Kanatame; you can call me all but that. I will be expecting much to come from your and our future." Kanatame lead him out of the room and escorted him to Kiyotaka's own bedroom. "The nurse will visit you shortly. When she does, follow every instruction she gives. If you don't, well… we can't predict the outcome, but let me say it will not be pretty." Ishimaru nodded, and walked into his bedroom after thanking him.
