Makoto Naegi – Super High School Level Record #5:
Well, I guess it's my turn. Monokuma... what's your game? Just why are you doing this to us? I'm not stupid enough to believe you'll answer me, not for a second. Still, it makes me feel a bit better just venting. I have to stay calm for everyone else here. Although I still can't see how my talent can help us. Ultimate Luck? Really? I can't say I feel very lucky, being here. I guess it didn't specify good or bad luck though. Twisty words, that bear's speciality. He hasn't lied yet, not really, but he's got a way of hiding things in what he says. Very sneaky really.
It's strange though. This all feels so familiar, as if I've been here longer than they said and as if I've known these guys for longer than we all think. I look at those doors, locked to the outside world, and wonder why no-one has come to save us yet? If something happened out there, then what? And why would we be left? It makes no sense. There are too many questions that need answering, but whenever we start to make headway some new question arrives that starts the whole cycle over again. Mysteries on top of mysteries. It all needs solving, but when will it end? Kiri...
Yeah. Maybe she would know. There's so much she still won't tell me. All I want from her is her trust, and sure, she gives it, but she hides so much still. I don't know if she's just trying to protect me, or if she's got more to hide, but there's more going on inside her head than she's willing to share. It hurts, a little. Even so, she seems to know what she's doing. I have to keep my faith in her. Even if it kills me.
Heh. I don't know. I look at her and it's like... everything slows down, as if she's the only thing moving or doing anything interesting in the world. As if it all revolves around her. It feels strange. I don't think anyone has ever made me feel that same way before. Well, one other person, but I can't think about her right now. Still too raw. But Kiri... and yet I feel like this has been my life for so much longer than it seems to have been. These feelings don't just appear, do they? They take time. It's another mystery. Not one that I think she can solve, either. Anyway. I should focus. We have to find a way out of here, as soon as possible.
Oh, yeah, I was supposed to write what I think of everyone. I guess Kiri is already covered there (man, I hope she doesn't read this...). So, the others. Yeah. I guess I'll start with Togami.
I think we're too different to ever really understand each other. I can try, but there's something about him that just drives people away. I can't say I don't like the guy, but at the same time, he's not really that likeable. He tried to test me, offered me a fortune to work for him and see how I'd react. I didn't take it. He's... exceptional, I guess, at what he does. But I can't really read him all that well. I suppose I trust him at least, enough that I don't think he's a killer. He reminds me of Kiri a little bit, in trying to find the mastermind behind all this. He's dedicated. That's about all I can say.
Speaking of killers, Fukawa kind of freaks me out. I don't have much to say about her normally, she's too reserved and to be frank I'm not too sure about the smell (seriously, doesn't that girl ever bathe?). Not spoken much to her so far. I don't like how much she throws the blame around during the trials, but at least she's speaking more then I guess. But her other side, that Genocide girl? She's just plain psycho. Although she seems honest enough. She hasn't threatened us so far, and I have no doubt that if she wanted to slaughter us she could easily do so.
Asahina is pretty sweet, especially in comparison. We got on fairly quickly, and to be entirely honest I can really sympathise with her. None of us had any idea what Ogami was planning to do, so when Asahina broke down, I can't say I blamed her. When Maizono was killed I ended up in a really dark place. I don't know if I'm out of it yet, though Kiri being around has really helped. I think Asahina felt the same way when Ogami died. Despair kicks in quickly, and it takes over everything. She feels so guilty for nearly killing us all, but I'm not going to put that on her. She's my friend. As long as I can help her, then I will.
I'm not so sure what I can say about Hagakure. He's nice and all, but he does confuse me sometimes. I think he's just a bit strange, especially with the whole fortune telling thing. Thirty percent success rate? I suppose that's kind of exceptional for a fortune teller, since I always thought they were nearly always wrong. Maybe that's why he was invited here, he's pretty good compared to other fortune tellers, but it still doesn't strike me as 'ultimate'. I don't know. I like the guy, that's about all I can really say for now.
I'll leave it there. There's not much else to talk about, and we're going to try and find some clues up here on the new floor to see if we can work out the truth behind this place. Some of these doors are still locked, but I'm almost positive there isn't another storey above this one. I hope the price for opening those doors isn't another life. I need to find Kiri. Together we can solve this, I just know we can...
