Anyway… after that horrifying (and epically sung) lore drop he continued on to the next room with fuyuhiko and Monokuma where Monokuma talked about ultimate despair… aka her
Monokuma: despair is what defines Junko Enoshima as Junko Enoshima
Siramay: sigh… that's such a weird way of wording it
it's almost like that isn't there identity
Monokuma: … welp no more talking rights for you!
Then siramays mouth fell off
Hajime: what the heck did you do!?
Monokuma: he lost his mouth privileges
Monokuma then talked about all the evil control they had and how the reserve course killed themselves
Of course, she's dead so they don't have to worry about it… it's a good think Monokuma made my mouth fall of I doubt I could hide my smile otherwise
So fuyuhiko talked about the killing school life and Monokuma said more things and it was all done
Hajime: hey muse
Siramay: ?
Hajime: you clearly know about Junko, right?
He nods approvingly
Is there anything you can say?
With that he raises his hand towards Hajime's head, and everything went white
I was smaller now in someone else's body, but I couldn't see my face, so I didn't know who, but I saw a man in front of me with dead white hair, and a crooked smile he wore a white trench coat and had an unsettling aura
[GUILTY PLEASURE]
Don't you want devoted followers?
Who leave their families for you?
Give their money to you?
Give their bodies to you?
Give up their lives for you?
Consider you God, and will kill for you?
a building blows up behind him
Don't you want to become a cult leader?
Since the death of Kodaka there has been a vacancy open
You can fill that void,
here's how
Then Hajime woke up back where he was and siramay walked away and the world collapsed even more
and in the music room more looooorreee and he learned about the neo word program and 15 survivors and how graduates of hopes peak made the future foundation!
And in another room where he saw Everyone's names are written under "List of Subjects". The list is written next to a clipped newspaper article. The article was about a woman who looked like a fully grown version of Hiyoko Saionji. (Because she was!)
And… The placard on the portrait hanging in the office said, "Hope's Peak Academy Founder — Izuru Kamukura"
And more notes about the remnants, more virtual reality nonsense
more lore, more lore
OH GOSH DARN IT LEARN FASTER HAJIME
Oh, and the Izuru Kamukura project
Oh, and now everything's upside down how fun!
and in the library…. Lore about
Siramay: MAKKKOOOTTOOOOOOOO
Hajime: I see you got your mouth back
Siramay: I cuddled Monokuma until he gave it back!
Hajime: …. right, anyway do you know anything about him
Siramay: only that he's the brightest, handsomest BEST MAN ON EARTH!
course he'd never call himself that he's modest you know? Oh, that only makes him better, he's such a polite little guy! Brown hair, green eyes
and that smile… mmmm it could soften even the most hardest of hearts!
he's an angel I tell yah
Hajime: that didn't really explain anything…
Siramay: oh no it did, if you haven't realized it that's on you for not paying attention to me
but don't worry just give it time to stir in your brain you'll find out eventually!
And in the laundry room we find out about the neo world program
it cures brainwashing!
then Hajime started to freak out for some reason
Siramay: dude stop freaking out there's nothing wrong with everything being virtual
Hajime: YOU'RE NOT REAL!
Siramay: … well if you're going to be like that
Siramay started to melt away into a puddle of oblivion
then!
MONOKUMA THEATER

A moment with siramay
Siramay: MAKOTO I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU! YOU CAN DO IT
JUST DO WHAT YOU DID LAST TIME FILL HER WITH YOUR HUGE ROD OF HOPE
I don't have much to say this time as he was being 100% emotionally honest, oh how proud I am they're learning!
Wait where you watching the whole thing….
IM SORRRYY I'M A WORM A WORTHLESS WOOOORRRMMMMMM
But hey it will all work out in the end, won't it? So, lets enjoy this high school reunion while it last
Consider it a practice run!
And so, the world continues to fall down, OH like that one David bowie song!
So, then David Bowies "As the World Falls Down" played but Hajime needed to focus on his investigation
Siramay: hahaahah
Hajime saw siramay peeping in a room silently giggling
Hajime: what are you doing?
Siramay: shhhhh check this out
I slowly bring Hajime closer in the room they saw Monokuma slowly moving side to side with the beat of the song
As the pain sweeps throughMakes no sense for you
Every thrill is gone
Wasn't too much fun at all…
But I'll be there for you-ou-ou
As the world falls down…
he then started to move his arms seeming to be in pure Zen at the song
siramay: adorable…
siramay then teleported away before Monokuma could notice him and Hajime
then Sonia told Hajime about the nocebo effect
and then he saw, da boi ALTER EGO! The son
he mentioned how a virus took over the world and well you know the story
and Hajime coming to terms with nothing being real, again man Hajime even Makoto was in less denial then you
and of course Hajime wanted to know why of course that's complicated long story short evil virus demon is making murder world for eviiill
sadly, before they could say anymore Monokuma came in like a big Meany and stopped them
drat there's only so long he can be distracted by David bowie! If I had a whole soundtrack with me that buy us a few hours
but then he started flipping out
BUDDY, ARE YOU OK, YOU CAN'T DIE YET!
Oh no WAIT A MINUTE
MAKOTO THE BOOY THE GREAT SON OF KODAKA HAS RETURNED!
Siramay: MAKOOOOTTOOOOO MY HEEERROOOOO
Anyway, Makoto explained important stuff to Hajime
Awe… but he can't hear us
MAKOTO MY BABY BOOOIII IM SORRY I DIDN'T MEAN TO BE A JERK! I WANNA APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE
Makoto was such a kind hearted person he wanted to use the NWP so save the remnants cure them of their brainwashing and rehabilitate them, he really is too good for that world, yet for some reason the world did something to earn him… what a lucky world
And he mentioned the password 11037… it meant so much to him… he kept his promise for two years ago, he'd carry those deaths with him, now and forever, truly an admirable man
All he asks them to do is rise above the despair until he can get there and have a secret plan to stop Monokuma….
Yeah… secret…. It was a supposed to be a secret right? Was it? I think… eh I can't remember but don't worry it will all work out in the end, so I have faith in Makoto!
Awe he had to go the glitch was over
I SEE YOU SOON MAKOTO I HAVE FAITH IN YOU
… welp that was all the clues he can get!
And Hajime was depressed
Siramay: HAJIME STOP BEING DEPRESSED-
er I mean
EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE OK!
Hajime: and how do you know that
Siramay: cause the prophecy!
Hajime: the prophecy?
Siramay: every creation is plucked from a boundless hole of perception
doomed to endure flaws of her fountain
the boy will one day cross the mountain
And reunite this world's divided halves, fulfill their history
This is more than divine decree, it's their destiny
So please take heed of this prophecy
Soon from now there will be two chosen, bound to meet
Inside her lock he will turn the key
Their love will be strong enough to erase all the wrong that was done
Return us to where we belong, with Hope and Despair as one!
Hajime: what?
Siramay: well of course you don't get it you S-…. Struggling person….
But don't worry, it will all make sense in due time!
for now, you must go
IT is time…
IT'S THE FINAL TRIAL
BA BA DA BA
BA BA DA BA
BABABABABA
IT'S THE FINAL TRIAL!
Hajime: yeah, I shouldn't pay attention to you you're not real anyway
Siramay: well, you're not important to the grand story of the universe
Hajime: WHAT!?
Siramay: now you know how I feel hajiy it's called respect have it!
And so, Hajime and the survivors where finally at the final trial grounds where Monokuma gives a simple low down, they learn the truth, and then they decide their fate, to rise above everything… or to be consumed forever by their own obscurity…
And so, it was time
Siramay: ALL RISE FOR THE DISHONORABLE JUDGE MONOKUMA!
… man, that's going to be the last time I say that… awe now I'm sad…
I'll say it again!
ALL RISE FOR THE DISHONORABLE JUDGE MONOKUMA!
And so, the final trial begun, and everyone found out they were in a simulation
Kazuichi: if this is a game… are my words being displayed in a text window right now!?
Siramay: yes!
Of course, they are avatars after removing the 6 years of memories and they were in surprisingly disbelief over it
Akane: how'd we end up talkin' about si-fi junk!? I'll never believe it
Monokuma: there is literally a magical talking dragon sitting across from you
Siramay: HI!
Wanna see my head come off?
Siramay then start ripping his head off… if this where any other story this would be horrific gory and vicarial, but this isn't so it plopped of like a slimily Lego, yet he still smiled alive as ever
Akane: oh yeah… when you put it like that, I guess it makes sense!
Of course Hajime had to convince everyone else and so we talked about the logistics of the memory loss and the avatars and all that you know they lost 6 years of memory's 3 from school 3 from after and now there avatars deal with it and move on
then Monokuma mentioned placebo and nocebo effects and how that effects them
Ooo…. Ill be honest all this stuff makes me sick, it's not necessarily what they're talking about more my brain trying to apply it to me, its like a fight with my body not to accidently hurt myself by believing something I don't fully know is true
So, I get a bit nauseous you, see?
I think therefor I am
And then they all finally accepted the reality of the situation
Or should I say un-reality
Though then they though since it's a game everyone who died is still alive
Siramay: uh… well…. Yes, but actually no
or should I say no but actually, yes?
So even if they didn't die, they still believe they did so they are now in a coma and are functionally brain dead… for now which means
Siramay: HA I WAS RIGHT HAJIME
Only one person would die in this killing game aka Chiaki! But the others are not dead! They are only in a coma! Which could be semantically argued as death BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT ARE BET WAS HAHAHA YOU OWE ME!
Course the survivors thought that meant they'd never come back to life… well I'm legally not allowed to spoil the good news besides they still don't have the knowledge to know how that's possible so let's wait till then ok?
Then Monokuma blamed the future foundation
Siramay: ANGGEEEELLLLL
Thankfully Hajime revealed Monokuma played everyone for a fool by trying to make them think future foundation was the bad guy
they may not be the best guy, but they aren't the bad guy
Also, Chiaki was a ai
Kinda but let's not fuss on the details
Monokuma: don't get all mushy towards a game character
Siramay: get as mushy as you want! In another dimension you guys are game characters!
Then Monokuma admitted he lied about world ender… well in his "from a certain point of view" way
And Hajime wanted to know Monokuma's true identity
Siramay: oh, I know! They're-
Monokuma: NOT YET
the main cast as arrived
Or so he says… as Makoto…. Showed up
Hajime: so, this is the great, handsome brilliant man the muse spoke of… seeing him now I would expect the muse to react as he always did but when I looked at him.
Siramay: …ugh
He relaxed on his chair not paying attention scrolling through a phone in his hands
You see…. uh well uh…. That guy over there you know the one… he says the survivors are evil, well they were, but that's why there in the NWP to save them, that parts true at least
Siramay: YEAH, you're the BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADD guuuuuuys
Odeveca: … duh
That's why nagito wanted to kill them cause he found out they where all evil and wanted to repent, theoretically.
Anyway, the summery is Junko made them evil, by brainwashing
Hajime even started to remember nagito and his crazy hand
Man this…. this false prophet is such a jerk he acts so ruder than Makoto the real Makoto would be a lot kinder about the revelation that they're evil and destroyed their bodies
Odeveca: wait that can't be right?
Siramay: no, it's right
Odeveca: that makes no sense
Siramay: why not
Odeveca: you showed us the last killing game she got crushed, smashed, pulverized in to pink jam! How can people have her body parts?
Siramay: now that my son is a fun story
you see it all starts with a man named Aesop Karu he was the ultimate embalmer.
you see since junkos body is a pile of goop the remnants need to fix it and what better than the ultimate embalmer a man known for being able to fix any corpse to what it looked like before death even the most mangled of bodies so while he was trying to survive in this post tragedy world they kidnaped him and have him a simple choice "fix her body or die" and you know those remnants if he said no that death would not be pretty, so he was off to work!
insert toy story to fixing woody music later
and just like that he rebuilt her body for scratch clump by clump, bone by bone, piece by piece. to anyone who didn't know any better it would look like she was just resting, truly this was the peak of the ultimate embalmers work, their crem de la crem, their magnum opus… and just like that…
THE REMNANTS WITH THE PRIMALITY OF MAN RIPPED HER BODY LIMB FROM LIMB RIGHT BEFORE HIS VERY EYES, all that hard work, hours and hours of sleeplessness his magnum opus, destroyed right before his eyes... as they got all the parts they needed they left him… wailing in despair...
Ultima: woah that's metal…
Siramay: I know crazy right?
…. siramay?
Yes brain?
Where is Junko…
Oh, she's alive in the secret location brain!
And mukuro?
Another dimension
Then whose body did the remnants use?
…. ooooooo
man…
I'm so good at making fake bodies not even I realized a problem! Hahahahaha!
Anyway, the false prophet was spitting lies he sucked fake man he doesn't got the same dialect tone and everything
And they are like "click graduate it's totally not part of our evil plan" ugh
And Hajime started to get that to as he points out reasons why this Makoto IS A FAAKKKEE
Hajime: also, LOOK AT HIM
points to angry siramay
he's been nerding out about Makoto ever since we first mentioned him there's no way you could be him if he's reacting that way!
So, we know it aint Makoto, also
Monokuma: wh-who is he…? Simply put, he's Makoto Naegi, who's known for being a cutie-patootie!
Siramay: daaaww you love him
I mean-
THAT'S BESIDES THE POINT!
Besides if you love him as true as I hope you do you should know him better then to think he'd act like that is your heart so hardened you can't believe in man doing good simply for the kindness of others!?
Monokuma: yes!
Siramay: … well you don't have to be so honest about it…
Monokuma: aren't you the one that always talks about emotional honesty?
Siramay: … that's fair
But in any case, the proof was in the pudding!
NOEL
And they found out he was a FAKER FAKER FAKER
Monokoto: puhuhuhuhu… how disappointing… and I thought I was on the right track…
Siramay: if you truly thought that's how Makoto would act then you don't know him at all…
Anyway, so they confront Monokuma on his evil plot and
Monokuma: No no no… I'm not gonna let you finish yet… there's no way this can end before I've even transformed
Siramay: oh no
no no no
NONONONONONONONONONONO
Hajime: why are you freaking out so much? You seem perfectly fine with them
Siramay: look Hajime I'm a simple guy I like bears they're like number 5 on the favorite animals list, and I hate humans, no offense but you guys do suck… and more specifically I hate the person behind the bear so much seeing there face drives me mad, I'm more than willing to handle and talk to them as a bear but in human… NO NO NO I CANT HANDLE THAT!
PLEASE DON'T TRANSFORM!
Monokuma: well, when you put it like that… I'LL TRANSFORM FASTER
Siramay: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Also, he referenced Dragon Quest, they were always a dork like that even if they'd never admit it
But anyway, they were transforming
NONONONONOONONONONONONONONONOONON
And then it happened…
Lost: OH, MY WORD SHE'S HUGE!
Siramay: ITS JUNKOZILLLLLAAAAAAA!
Ultima: ...
Odeveca: ...
Lost: ...
Siramay: what?
Ultima: well, I mean last time she appeared in a final trial you sang a song about her, so...
Siramay: ...
Music starts
[SIRAMAY]
I play this game, yeah, this game of fame
To make a virtual reality come to life in mortality
It ain't so little and so I fiddle
With these animatronic and iconic electronics
What's in this cassette? I'm willing to bet
That it's a mechanical figure brought to the ears for the listener
Looking around, ceiling to the ground
Identifying something amiss, should I look or try and resist?
[JUNKO]
Everything's coming together, now erupting in terror
It's glowing forever, the fear is growing
Never confided that one day
I'd like to be invited outside of this domain
[SIRAMAY]
This reality, my mentality, everything changes so rapidly
And I'm ready for the never-ending fire
Dancing with my deepest dark desires
Miracle, how empirical, don't know anything quite hysterical
Everything around me transpires as I fulfill my darkest desire
I'm coming to know what lies below
The mind to find a legitimate reason for why I try
Every turn returns concern
But my curiosity is a-growin', it keeps goin' (Goin')
Don't bat an eye, no need to cry
Listen to the tapes and wait for any fear to come near
Cold and lonely, join so closely
[JUNKO]
When the Devil comes
Everything's coming together, now corrupting whomever's
Arriving forever, the terror's rising
Never decided that one day, consequences derided
From feelings inside me
This reality, my mentality, everything changes so rapidly
And I'm ready for the never-ending fire
Dancing with my deepest dark desires
Miracle, how empirical, don't know anything quite hysterical
Everything around me transpires as I fulfill my darkest desire
Look at me, you can't ignore
Be with me forever more
I'll conquer and override
Your soul and my soul collide
I'm feeling so incomplete
So, don't even try to retreat
I'll conquer and override
[BOTH]
Your soul and my soul collide!
[JUNKO]
This reality, my mentality, everything changes so rapidly
And I'm ready for the never-ending fire
Dancing with my deepest dark desires
Miracle, how empirical, don't know anything quite hysterical
Everything around me transpires as I fulfill my darkest desire
[SIRAMAY]
This reality, my mentality, everything changes so rapidly
And I'm ready for the never-ending fire
Dancing with my deepest dark desires
Miracle, how empirical, don't know anything quite hysterical
Everything around me transpires as I fulfill my darkest desire
[JUNKO]
Look at me, you can't ignore
Be with me forever more (Darkest desire!)
I'll conquer and override
Your soul and my soul collide
I'm feeling so incomplete
So, don't even try to retreat
[SIRAMAY]
I'll conquer and override
[BOTH]
YOUR SOUL AND MY SOUL COLLIDE!
HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!
