TOWA CITY: ADULT BASE
And so we were finally here!... what do we do now?
Soulbound: say hi?
Gp: HELLO EVERYBODY HOWS IT GOING!
Everyone turned to look at gp like the weirdo he was
Soulbound: I MENT QUIETLY!
apologies for my associate he suffers from a bad case of being an idiot
it is sadly uncurable
Gp: HEY!
While I was mad at what soulbound had said I could have worn I heard rj laugh under there (robot breath?) so that made up for it
Soulbound: I meant one at a time
Gp: oh well rj you can go warm us up to the boss here and we'll meet back up with yah ay?
Soulbound: but if you try to say anything about us being plot twist evil-
Gp: we're plot twist evil?
Soulbound: no I'm saying if Shiro does say that
Pulls out cutlass
My point still stands
Well after that we final got to stretch are legs and talk to people!
oh look more notes
[note]
mystery of the massacring monokumas
ADULT A: So you guys seem quite old to be coming here...You wouldn't happen to be on the kids' side, would you?
Gp: I have a bomb strap to my wrist I assure you I am not on their side! I'll have you know my life goals and motives are much more wholesome
yes deferentially totally yeah!
ADULT A: Well, Shirokuma brought you two here, so I want to believe that I don't have to worry.
Soubound: so I can safely assume you were brought here by shirokuma as well
ADULT A: yep...That's how it is for all of us. Shirokuma saved us. That's enough...Sorry, but I'm not in the mood. Find someone else if you want to chat.
Soulbound: uuugggghh of course
well anyway it was nice to meet you and I hope life bids your future well
Gp: if you wait a few hours I might sing a song!
But yeah what I mean is there's a tv!
Gp: a tv! We can watch musicals on this
Soulbound: really?
Gp: yeah! Look at all these depressed sad sacks what be better way to cheer their moods then a musical like la la land, or waitress, Hamilton's a classic OU next to normal definitely! That was always rjs favorite
Course we also talked to other adults who talked good about shirokuma
Soulbound: uuuggggghhh
Adult: whats his deal
Gp: don't mind him he just has bear phobia, so all this Kuma talk makes him uncomfy
Soulbound: you mean arkoudaphobia?
Gp: exactly! Only someone with a phobia of bears would know that fancy name
just put-up with-it soul it's not like we can tell anyone rjs secret, yet we could destroy the universes that way!
Adult: don't lump him in with the other monokumas
Gp: don't insult my big boys bear phobia he can't control who he's scared of!
Soulbound: don't call me your big boy
So yeah it was all nice it's a shame everyone's cowardly and weak, but I mean its understandable they aren't strong they are as good as bear chow if they go out their so its for the best to wait till it blows over I mean if those kids will really go through with the suicide thing then it will only be a few years then everything will be spick and span again!
Gp: but with these surroundings it's a shame they have to live in the dumps
Soulbound: hmmmmm
Gp: you thinking what I'm thinking?
Soulbound: oh yes
Gp: I love power fantasy
But then we met her!
SOUL LOOK! It's the miss hagakure lady!
Hiroko: oh? Do I know you?
Gp: not that I know of, but I just heard about your son on the big screen he's a hero!
Hiroko: a hero?
Soulbound: now don't over sell him gp he didn't do much
Gp: well maybe not but saying know to the girl who destroyed the world and saying "I want to live" that's enough soul, that really is enough
Soulbound: true. But where are our manners let's not start to fast. I am the count of soulbound, and this odd fellow is gp
Gp: nice to meet yah!
Hiroko: I'm Hiroko Hagakure. I'm divorced and available...and my age is confidential. Nice to meet you.
Gp: same!
Soulbound: I don't recall you ever getting married to your ex
Gp: I sometimes fantasize my past relationships in my head
Soulbound: ah truly that is a surprise to me
that was sarcasm
So let me guess
Soulbound pulls gps arm to show the bracelet
Would it be correct to assume you have one of these as well?
Hiroko: correct, how'd you know?
Gp: oh souls smart like that you know working theories and other smart people things all those epic things he has down packed in here! Boop!
Gp tried to poke the top of soulbounds head but was not tall enough
Hiroko: You have one just like it, right? It's my first-time meeting someone like me.
Gp: not us hahahha but don't worry the guys ok we made sure he didn't blow up under pressure
it's a mighty shame though
Hiroko: Yeah...I don't know how many of us there are, but it's none too few. The others are probably cowering somewhere in the city as we speak. If I ever can, I want to go out and save them...and bring them back here.
Soulbound: that's very Nobel of you I respect that
Hiroko: don't get me wrong it wouldn't be me personally...I don't have that kind of power. I'll use all the other adults here. Leaving this place is forbidden for anyone except Shirokuma, but it's okay if I send out a stealth mission without telling anyone. I may do that from time to time. I've gotten things from outside like cigarettes that way.
Gp: I don't really agree with smoking like come on the tragedy's already killing you no need to make it kill yah faster
but I can still respect the ingenuity
Hiroko: it's not hard I control them with my feminine wiles. In these circumstances, it's especially effective
Soulbound: this is making me uncomfortable
Gp: oh yeah! Sorry miss but soulbound isn't into people that way and I'm not looking for a relationship at the moment
but if you need anything just say please and it won't be a worry on our hair at all!
Hiroko: ah of course I understand
Gp: yeah! I knew it you had that kinda respectable charm about you glad the intuition was right
anything else to note?
Hiroko: no that's basically it, so...if you happen to see anyone with a bracelet, or a clue as to their whereabouts, tell me. I have to use these people, so we're saved before we're killed by those brats.
Soulbound: well aren't you in luck! We happen to have some
Gp: I don't know what else to say soul, but I feel if we don't say more it will be embarrassing
Soulbound: don't! whenever you get like that you always say the wrong thing
Gp: that's not entirely true!
But uh YEAH! On our way we found a few cards of people, I mean we haven't met all of them, but I like to believe their still out there so if you could find them it be hecking awesome!
At that I pulled out the card which where stored with everything else in soulbounds robe I shuffled them looking as if they where cards for a presentation, but it was just to remind myself who we had as I thought which to give first, but I don't think that is too important it's just a me thing
You know what this isn't a big deal and typing's a pain so lets just skip it, best case scenario I'll come back to it later
Gp: wanna know something funny?
Soulbound: what?
Gp: Junko and toko have the same voice actor
At that soulbound turned to gp as his face slowly turned to one of sadness and a single tear rolled down his eye realizing the truth and being unable to unhear it
Soulbound: why would you say that?
Gp: hahahahhaha
but I do gotta wonder the time zone
Soulbound: the time zone?
Gp: yeah like it was about 2017 during dr1 and I'd say June maybe maybe slightly earlier due to them having to stay for some time so right now its like… so komaru was taken in for 1 and a half years yeah so it should be about 2018 ish maybe but with the 6 months ITS DECEMBER
WAAAHHHOOO I love a black charismas
Soulbound: it's not snowing
Gp: soul the sky's red
I don't think I need to say more- except
NO
ROOM
AT THE HOLIDAY INN-
OH NO!
AND IT'S BEGINNING TO SNOW
Then a few people looked at gp in annoyance some even seemed upset
Soulbound: SSHHH
I don't think the people here seem comfortable with you bringing it up
Gp: why not!? I know some people may be atheist but there should be at least a few here who aren't depressed sad sack losers
Soulbound: ignoring what you just said… aren't you forgetting someone who should not be name was also born around that time… someone whose name starts with a j
Gp: what does Jesus have to do with this?
Soulbound: Junko I meant Junko
Gp: OH MY GOODNESS
I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO GET THEM A GIFT
I'm a failure as a parent
Soulbound: NO! well yes, but that's not the point! Them being born on December 24 is a terrible reminder to people that the person who destroyed the world was born on that day so most people aren't as chipper as they could be when it shows up now
Gp: that's awful! Why does Christmas have to suffer cause one bad egg was born
Soulbound: well that's just how it is maybe in the future it can be fixed but right now I would suggest refraining from bringing up the subject for the time being
Gp: naaarrr
Well anyway once we finish gp jumped on top of shirokuma because of course he does
RJ!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I think… I'll be honest I don't know what number day today is my sense of times out of whack, but the month is still the month!
I'm sorry I don't have a gift but maybe my existence will work for the time being yah?
Soulbound: also we're done talking to people
Gp: really depressing bunch but I understand their fear, so I won't look down on them, for now ahhahaha
But yeah show us the guy
Soulbound: ugh
Shirokuma: well then, let's get to the main issue. This is our conference room, so we'll talk inside. Here,
So we went in, and no one was their yet of course
Shirokuma: Huh? Not here...But they're always here.
Soulbound: so you're just going to go back on the whole nice bear act? Ugh
Gp: we of course no one here knows about- the thing with "the bears" only us so I don't think you should look down on rj for wanting to keep his secret
Soulbound: if it was for genuine purposes like starting a new life then maybe, maybe. But for evil? Never
Gp: so let me guess you gotta go get them right rj? Carry on we won't mind
Soulbound: I will
Gp: I won't mind
But yeah being the dirty rats we are we looked around the room a bit more
then we found a notebook!
[notebook]
Gp: so depressing
Soulbound: truly…
[notebook]
everyone is dead
Gp: blab la blab la bla so annoying they can't here you ya know?
Soulbound: gp have a bit of sympathy
Gp: hey just because their losing their sanity dosent mean I'm gonna give up mine
[note]
list of victims
Gp: rest in peace
Soulbound: when this all goes over we can probably use this to make a memorial for them all…
Gp: sometimes I grow jealous of your nobility
SHIROKUMA: The kids apparently call it a "revolution."
Gp: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
….
Gp plots to the floor
oh hi rj
don't scare me like that at least say pardon or something
Soulbound: also don't act self-righteous we know this is all your fault
Gp: hey! Technically rj had no part in this it was all Monica, I think
SO HA
Soulbound: who do you think Monica got the idea from?
Gp: but she carried the idea out if you use that blameisim you might as well blame rjs parents for birthing them
and if you do that you should blame their parents for birthing them
and vise on and vise on
in the end you might as well blame kodaka for writing the game!
Kodaka: rude but true
Gp: so yeah, no
Shirokuma: in the end they justify their actions by calling it a "revolution."
Gp: OU LIKE THE SONG!
Well, you can bump and grind, if it's good for your mind
Well, you can twist and shout, let it all hang out
But you won't fool the children of the revolution
No, you won't fool the children of the revolution, no no!
…oh yeah go on
Soulbound: no really don't I can't stand your fake sympathy act
Gp: saying that's just gonna make him do it more soul!
Shirokuma: in summery!
Soulbound: UUGGGHH
Shirokuma: The issue is that having a great mind does not always make a great person.
Soulbound: you would know now wouldn't you?
Shirokuma: A child's talent can easily be corrupted into something evil. It's horrible
Shirokuma said staring at gp and while their robot face couldn't change much it felt like he was glaring at the man
Gp: why are you looking at me like that?
and why do I feel really guilty about it!
Soulbound: oh I don't know Mr. "I don't care if you destroy the world as long as you do something with your talent" maybe you can say why they're clearly talking about you when mentioning corrupting a child's talent
Gp: ITS NOT LIKE I MENT IT LITERALY
I Was going through stuff I was not sound of mind
Soulbound: and so was Junko but does that justify what they did?
Gp: ye-
In which soulbound gives the ultimate death stare where it felt like gp would die in half a second
Gp: no! I mean no, no not at all!
what they did was bad, and they should feel bad for it
At that soulbounds face calms down and he nods
Shirokuma: On top of that, the frightening thing is that they were all still children. Because they were kids, they could kill adults without any guilt. Hey, don't you two remember at all? Cruel things that you did when you were a kid…?
Gp: placing my head into my sisters breast…
Shirokuma: …Gabriel… that's not what I meant
Gp: what?! It was the evilest thing I could think off because I was bord its not like now where I have TECHNOLOGY! To keep me entertained
I mean I guess I did beat up some kids
but they where mean to me first, so I did nothing wrong it was basic self defense
Shirokuma: is that also why you killed all those adults when I was young?
Gp: EXSACTLY! You know me so well rj!
Soulbound and shirokuma look at gp disappointed
Soulbound: well I assure you he's better now
he hasn't killed one person in Towa
Shirokuma: in Towa
but what about "outside" of Towa
Soulbound: …not without my consent
Shirokuma: you guys are really bad at this
Soulbound: at least I'm honest about it, you could learn a bit about that sure you'd still be a jerk but at least you would be a respectable one
Gp: I gotta side with soul I do like respectability
Shirokuma: you told me to lie!
Gp: I said fake it till you make it and clearly you have not made it
He literally told me to be evil and now he's saying I'm not being evil right, such despair…
Soulbound: so are we done yet or do you have more to say with your false sympathy
Gp: but don't be rude soul I'm sure deep down rj is speaking with genuine sympathy
rj let it be known I believe you and I'm sorry
Oh but look who came in …. A guy!
Soulbound: soulbound that's the leader
Oooo cool!
is what I said but soulbound stared at the man in disgust even more disgust then how he looked at rj surprisingly and I could hear under his breath he said
Soulbound: pedo…
Haiji: Yo Shirokuma, I was told you're looking for me?
Shirokuma: Ah, Haiji!
Haiji: Seems like you've been outside again. Didn't I tell you to stop since it's dangerous? Oh, are those two over there the newcomers? I'm Haiji Towa. I'm leading a resistance here.
Gp: hi! I'm gp nice to meet you!
Soulbound: death stare
pedo...
Gp: huh what you talking about?
hands gp the script to udg as gp now also death stares haiji
Gp: pedo...
Soulbound: I'll still try to be civil, but I admit my base level of respect can only go so far
Haha yeah I don't want him to
Gp: ….so you a virgin?
Haiji: what?!
Gp: nothing nothing! Just wana make sure no parts of you where in holes or small holes or-
Soulbound covered gps mouth close
Soulbound: what he means to say is he has nothing to say to the likes of you so he had the upmost terrible habit of saying something random but taboo subjects, forgive him Mr. Towa… a very interesting last name if I must ask…
Haiji: Yeah, I'm a Towa.
Shirokuma: Haiji's father is the chairman of the Towa Group. The group name is based off of the characters in "Towa."
Gp: thank you for saying rj
Haiji: rj?
Soulbound: oh pardon! Its just a nick name my associate happens to call shirokuma you don't mind do you?
Haiji: not at all, in fact he's not the first adult to give shirokuma a nickname he's likeable like that
Soulbound: at that soulbound clenches his hand
indeed…
Haiji: though it is one of the oddest ones I've heard
Gp: well I'll probably also be the oddest man you've seen
….
You know the problem with either knowing lots of things or not really caring about knowing lots of things is that you don't really get much talking done and thus struggle to move on with the story….Nar
Gp: so…. Airline food?
Haiji: what?
Gp: I was just trying to think of something to say, but how is your food situation?
Haiji: it could be better with all the monokumas it has been increasingly difficult to find food and resources
Then gp and soulbound look at eachother
Soulbound: give me time
At that soulbound walked out the room?
Haiji: huh where are you going?
Gp: you'll see it's a surprise!
uh… I know my voice sometimes gives off the wrong vibe so let it be said I mean a good surprise like a birthday or something!
speaking off I got my own idea
At that gp ran out the room and started fiddling with the giant tv
Haiji: hey! What do you think you're doing?! Who do you think you are?
Gp: well I'm gp! And I think I should introduce myself to everyone in the best way possible!
And that's when the tv started playing music as gp held a microphone
HEY EVERYBODY HOW YA'LL DOING TONIGHT?
though crowd.. but in case you all don't know who I am I just flew by today and the names guilty pleasure, but you can call me gp. And I am here for a great quest to find someone so I guess I should just make this simple and start at the beginning
She said that she loved me, never would go
Oh oh, oh oh
Now I find I'm sitting here on my own
Oh oh, oh oh
Was it something I've said or done
That made her pack her bags up and run
Could it be another she's found
It's breaking up the happy home
Mister can you tell me where my daughters gone
She's a Japanese girl
I woke up one morning and my girl was gone
Oh, my Japanese girl
Ooh, I miss my Japanese girl
People ask about her every day
Oh oh, oh oh
Don't know what to tell them, what can I say
Oh oh, oh oh
If only she would write me or call
A word of explanation, that's all
It would stop me climbing the wall
It's breaking up the happy home
Mister can you tell me where my daughters gone
She's a Japanese girl
I woke up one morning and my girl was gone
Oh, my Japanese girl
Ooh, I miss my Japanese girl
Was it something I've said or done
That made her pack her bags up and run
Could it be another she's found
It's breaking up the happy home
Mister can you tell me where my daughters gone
She's a Japanese girl
I woke up one morning and my girl was gone
Oh, my Japanese girl
Ooh, I miss my Japanese girl
Vocalizing
Mister can you tell me where my daughters gone
She's a Japanese girl
I woke up one morning and my girl was gone
Oh, my Japanese girl
Ooh, I miss my Japanese girl
Soulbound: why would you say Japanese girl
Gp: because rj hasn't come out to others yet so they still see him as a girl don't you know its rude to out a trans person? So I have to say she to others
Soulbound: is that how that works?
Well it didn't matter cause soulbound was setting up tables with
FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD
Hot sausage and mustard
While we're in the mood
Cold jelly and custard
Peas, pudding and saveloys
What next is the question
Haiji: how did you get all this?
Soulbound: well
pulls out a monocoin
If you have the right currency the monokumas are surprisingly docile in their own fast-food joints
Haiji: and where did you get them?
Gp and soulbound: …
flash backs to ransacking the abandoned hopes peak
Soulbound: from the source but on the bright side I also got the nonperishables to help you outlast them
Gp: yeah so it can help your plan!
Haiji: my plan?
Gp: yeah your plan!
clearly you are down here waiting because you know the kids hate adults and once they grow old enough will kill themselves meaning the problem will be solved without you having to do anything so all you have to do was wait it out
that was your plan right?
Haiji: …
Gp: that was your plan right?
Haiji: uh- yeah that is definitely my plan of course!
Soulbound: that wasn't your plan don't lie
Gp: what! I thought it was obvious!
Haiji: well excuse me! but I'm unable to do anything
Gp: then leave it to us!
Haiji: what?
Gp: soulbound is quite strong he can take on any monokuma that comes his way even an army of them if we can fight up there it will help the adults down here yes?
Haiji: …maybe
Gp: then gp starts pushing haiji away
then don't you worry your pretty pedo head about it
Soulbound: ugly pedo head
Haiji: wh- I'm not a pedo!
Gp: sure sure what ever helps you sleep now you just go; do stuff and we'll take care of the rest
byyyy
bbbyyyyyy
bbyyyyyyyyy
Ok he's gone!
oh silly me I forgot!
At that gp set up the giant tv to play a musical
Look rj! You're favorite! How longs it been since yah watched this man I wish I had some cookies to feed you, but robots don't eat
oh! I know when we finally take you home, there's this guy called mike great with robots! Let's have him open yah up so he can give you the techno babble to make you eat that be lovely ay?
At that shirokuma was just silent they turned around to avoid the tv
then soulbound picked them up and turned them 180 degrees
Gp: come on rj I know you are somehow into being depressed and all, but would it really hurt just to have an hour of genuine joy? You have to have your body breath Afterall, or you'll just get used to the pain
come on live a little! I know you know whats gonna happen in the story, but I do to! It's not about knowing what happens its about being able to experience and love the emotions made in it!
At that shirokuma just sits down ever so silent which was sensible nothing they could say would upset gp so that's what they would say, nothing
Soulbound: so what happens in the musical anyway?
Gp: well...
Animatronic maker and father Henry Emily waits up late for his curfew-challenged daughter, and attempts to comfort his anxious and overachieving son, Sammy. In early morning, their daughter returns, and Linda, Henry's wife, rises to help prepare the family for the day ("Just Another Day"). Everything appears normal until Linda and Sammy realize that the sandwiches Henry is making are covering every surface in the kitchen. As Linda helps the disoriented Henry, the kids hurry off to school. Sammy escapes to the refuge of the piano practice room ("Everything Else") and is interrupted by Susie, a classmate who likes to listen to him play and who is clearly interested in him.
Over the ensuing weeks Henry makes a series of visits to his doctor and friend William, while Linda waits in the car outside questioning how to cope with her own depression. Henry has suffered from bipolar disorder and psychosis for the past sixteen years. His doctor continually adjusts his medications as will comments on it, with various side effects, until he says he doesn't feel anything, at which point he declares him "stable" ("Who's Crazy" / "My Psychopharmacologist and I"). Sammy and Susie grow closer until one day he professes his love for her ("Perfect for You"), and they kiss for the first time. Henry, witnessing this, worries his best years may be behind him ("I Miss the Mountains"). With his daughter's encouragement, he flushes away his medication.
A few weeks later, Linda looks forward to dinner with her family ("It's Gonna Be Good"), to which Susie has been invited, much to Sammy's dismay. she happily recounts how Henry has been energetic and in a great mood for the past weeks, but when Henry emerges with a cake singing "Happy Birthday" to his daughter, Linda and Sammy are devastated. Linda carefully reminds him that their daughter died sixteen years ago, when she was young ("she's Not Here"). Linda mentions a return to the doctor, but Henry refuses, saying Linda can't possibly hurt the way he does ("You Don't Know"). Linda tries to coax him into trusting her while their daughter tries to convince her father to listen to her instead ("I Am the One"). In his room, Sammy vents his anger to Susie and then refuses Henry's halfhearted apology as his sister watches and taunts him ("puppet girl and the prophet boy").
A few days later, Henry starts work with William, attempting a drug-free treatment. As his daughter tries to assert her presence ("I'm Alive"), Linda and Sammy doubt the sessions are helping. After an argument, Sammy begins experimenting with his mother's old prescription medications. William proposes hypnosis to help Henry discover the roots of his trauma. The therapy is emotionally draining, and Linda worries that it is too much of a strain on his mental health, while Sammy bombs an important piano recital when he realizes his father is not present ("Make Up Your Mind" / "Catch Me I'm Falling"). Finally, Henry agrees it's time to let his daughter go. Henry goes home to clean out his daughter's things, pausing to listen to a music box ("I Dreamed a Dance"). His daughter dances with him and invites him to 'go away with her' ("There's a World"). He attempts suicide and is hospitalized.
At the hospital, Henry lies sedated and restrained, with self-inflicted gashes to his wrists. William explains to Linda that ECT is the standard course of treatment for drug-resistant patients who are at a high risk of suicide. Linda goes home to clean up after Henry and barely avoids a breakdown ("I've Been"). The next day, William proposes the treatment to Henry, and he reacts angrily, comparing the treatment to the lobotomies performed in the movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest ("Didn't I See This Movie?"). Linda arrives and manages to convince him that it may be their last hope ("A Light in the Dark").
Act II
Henry receives a series of ECT treatments over two weeks. Meanwhile, Sammy explores clubs and drugs, seemingly sharing a hallucination with his father. ("Wish I Were Here"). Henry returns home from the hospital, but he has lost nineteen years of memory ("Song of Forgetting"). At school, Susie confronts Sammy about her avoiding him, and invites her to the spring formal dance ("Hey #1").
Linda and Henry visit William, who assures them some memory loss is normal ("Seconds and Years") and encourages Linda to use photos, mementos, and the like to help Henry recover. Linda gathers the family to do so ("Better Than Before"), with minor success. When Sammy pulls the music box from a pile of keepsakes, she whisks it away, leaving Henry puzzled. His daughter appears, unseen ("Aftershocks"), while Henry tells Linda there's something he's desperate to remember that's just beyond his reach. When Susie arrives looking for Sammy, Henry pauses, studying her face and asking his age. she reminds him of someone. Unnerved, Susie hurries up to Sammy's room, to convince her to join him at the dance the next night ("Hey #2").
Henry returns to William ("You Don't Know" [Reprise]), and he asks Henry about memories of his daughter, not knowing that Linda has purposely avoided mentioning him. William suggests he further explore his history and talk more with his wife. Henry goes home and searches through the boxes of keepsakes, finding the music box. Linda tries to stop him, but the memories of their baby daughter rush back ("How Could I Ever Forget?"). Henry confesses remembering his daughter as a teenager. Linda also realizes that their daughter's death was the start to all their troubles. Henry demands to know her name, but Linda refuses and instead insists they need to return for more treatment ("It's Gonna Be Good" [Reprise]). Susie arrives to pick up Sammy, who has dressed for the dance, just in time for both of them to witness an agitated Linda grab the music box from Henry's hands and smash it to pieces on the floor.
Henry confronts Linda, wondering why she perseveres after how much trouble he's given, while upstairs, Sammy asks Susie the same question ("Why Stay?"). Linda answers, echoed by Susie, both vowing to stay steadfast ("A Promise"). As both couples embrace, Henry and Linda's daughter reappears ("I'm Alive" [Reprise]), which sends Henry running to William.
Henry asks William what can be done if the medicine won't work. He realizes that it is not his brain that's hurting, but his soul ("The Break"). William assures him relapse is common and suggests more ECT ("Make Up Your Mind" / "Catch Me I'm Falling" [Reprise]). Henry refuses. Doctor William urges him to stay. He thanks him and leaves. Sammy, waiting outside, is distressed to learn his father has stopped the treatment. Henry explains ("Maybe [Next to Normal]"), opening up to his son for the first time. He urges Sammy to go to the school dance, where Susie awaits to comfort and embrace her ("Hey #3" / "Perfect for You" [Reprise]).
Henry tells Linda he is leaving her, explaining he can't always be there to catch him. He needs to take a risk and deal with things on his own ("So Anyway"). He goes and leaves their daughter with Linda. As Linda wonders how he could have left her after she stood by him for so long, their daughter approaches and tells Linda she's not going anywhere ("I Am the One" [Reprise]). Linda grows more distraught until at last she faces the girl and calls her by her name for the first time: Charlie.
Sammy comes home to find his mom sitting alone in the dark, in tears. He comforts her and turns on the lights in the room, before assuring him the two of them will figure things out ("Light"). Susie arrives to study. Sammy tells him Henry has gone to stay in hurricane. Linda visits William hoping to talk about Henry, but William instead offers him the name of another mental-health worker. Henry appears, alone and still hurting, but hopeful.
Gp: ….the ending gets me every time
so rj you gonna set us off the bed or what
Shirokuma: wait what?
Gp: well we spent 2 hours watching that its dark now you can't expect us to go in the dark
rj you wouldn't send a tired old man alone in the dark when I know there's a warm bed you can lend now wouldn't you?
Gp said giving shirokuma puppy dog eyes, its not like the begging changed his mind its just, he knows gp won't take no for an answer so it's less effort to just say yes… of course besides it look suspicious around other people.
Shirokuma: …fine, follow me
Gp: YEAAHHH!
ok soul unpack are stuff!
At that a clear shot of soulbound carrying to bags of luggage was scene in which a thought cam to mind
gp and soulbound took this less as being trapped on an island hunted for sport and more like they were taking a simple trip to a resort
Soulbound: ok there should be a bathroom down the hall gp make sure you take a quick shower!
gp: you know soul in Japan men are perfectly fine with showing themselves to eachother~
soulbound: you know what never mind
pushes gp out of bathroom and locks door
gp: aw…
so this bed's where we gonna sleep right?
so you in?
shirokuma: what?
Gp: come on rj you know I'm a cuddler and I didn't bring a plushie and look at you you're literally an adorable little white polar bear so adorable I could pinch your cheeks you'd be a great teddy bear for cuddling
besides it's not like soulbound will cuddle with me
Soulbound: I wont
Soulbound said existing the bathroom as he then plopped flat on the floor immediately falling to sleep being confirmed by the sound of his snores
Gp: besides it's a win win for you! It's not like you have anything to do at the moment and if you do it's a win in the end if you don't enjoy this then it gives you that despair you want and if you do enjoy it, well you enjoy it!
so come on rj please, please, please, please!
Shirokuma: …
And so that night Gabriel cuddled shirokuma to sleep like a giant teddy bear
course it took a hour cause gp has trouble sleeping all the pent up energy you know?
but then after a few hours shirokuma woke up thinking they could sneak away feeling one of gps arms under him and looking at gp who was laying down with one hand in his pants but that was just basic biology gp probably had no clue they where doing it so shirokuma didn't think much of it… but on the other side of shirokuma they say soulbound, now on the bed, death staring shirokuma… or maybe just sleeping with his eyes open, but even so it gave a clear message
you hurt gp I hurt you
and while shirokuma did slowly try to get up and out of the bed he quickly felt the strong and forceful hand of soulbound on his stomach slamming him back down on the bed
at that gp let out a "yelp" as his arm was crushed… welp it seemed Shiro would stay the night…

Into the woods
Into the woods
Into the woods, then out of the woods
And home before-
AND SO IT WAS MORINING
and as shirokuma woke up they look to their right and saw gp was not laying down but was out of bed looking sharply while pulling at tiny hairs?
Shirokuma: what are you doing?
Gp: oh! Well I woke up but since most people are still asleep I didn't know what to do and soulbound is preparing us to head out, so I was trying to entertain myself then I saw some of my hairs get imbued in the bed, so I thought it be quite interesting to try and pull them out!
He says holding some white hairs
I just think its neat! Also good morning!
Then soulbound comes in handing gp a small cereal cup
Gp: oh thanks!
Soulbound: now come on gp I packed us up now it's time to go
Gp: aww… ok
So at that both gp and soulbound went to exist the gate
Gp: goodbye everyone! It was nice seeing you but we gotta go
Soulbound: now as long as you ration all that food you should be able to last a good long time but just don't strain yourselves ok?
Gp: rj! I'm gonna miss you my precious baby bipolar bear but we gotta go
Shirokuma: oh thank goodness
I mean oh no, oh no….oh no
Gp: oh don't worry rj I'll come back I promise I won't abandon you!
oh hey soul how about we bring him with us
Soulbound and shirokuma: NO!
They look at eachother
Soulbound: I mean no
they have many things to do and so do us its best not to interfere
At that gp hugs shirokuma one last time
Gp: goodbye my sweetie ursine fallen angle bipolar bear baby! see you soon!
So gp jumps on soulbounds back as he walks out
Thank goodness I thought he'd never leave he was too distracting for my taste but at least nothing big happened just a giant distraction…wait a minute
at that shirokuma looked around and realized
the telecommunicator that he had for his plan was gone
and it didn't take a layman to know exactly why that was the case
Shirokuma: GAAAABRRRIIIIEEELLLL!
And so I was riding a quickly sprinting soulbound making sure to be as far from the base as possible while in my hands I held the communicator
Gp: hahhahaha they'll never catch us now
so if I'm right soul we just gotta take this to Towa tower so we can talk to the future foundation?
Soulbound: considering how we plan to fix the mess here I'd rather they not get hurt and waste effort, so yes
Gp: neato! Then lead the way!
But first a note
[note]
if you are not careful with my little sisters…
Gp: reminds me of that one twilight zone episode
Soulbound: oh? Which one?
Gp: the one about the town cut of from the world cause a boy can control the fate of the universe
so it was horrifying cause if you made him upset he would do messed up things to you
Soulbound: how unnerving but I never knew you were into those things
Gp: no I don't watch the show myself, but I heard about it from someone and found it mighty interesting, so I guess it took a piece of my mind
kinda reminds me of me and my magic
Soulbound: yes you did say you had quite the arsenal I'm suprised you didn't make the world more a mess then it is
Gp: well I didn't realize I had them till I was in my 20s sure I may have had the occasional odd thing but due to the world not believing in magic I was limited it wasn't till I lost my mind did I lose my barriers
course there wasn't really anything I wanted, you know? Like when you can have anything you don't want anything
well till I remembered I wanted revenge… and freedom, I mean I don't mind staying inside a room all day, but I'd prefer it be on my own terms… and not to be experimented on…
but that's in the past what about you soul when did you realized your skin was sturdy?
Soulbound: eh it's nothing big- wait a minute I already told why do you need to ask again?
Gp: can't a guy be nostalgic?
Soulbound: well I digress let's move on time will move on with or without us
Well after a bit we finally got out of the sewer and saw… lets just call it "art"
Gp: …is this place vandalized or is it just the universe art style?
Soulbound: not sure
but it is a graveyard
Gp: OH!
THINGS YOU SEE IN THE GRAAAVVEE YARD
THINGS YOU SEE IN THE GRAAAVVVE YARD
Well anyway we finally continued our quest as we fought monokumas and when we where out of the graveyard we were in a pastel town? Man it felt like we jumped into a cartoon, well a completely different cartoon. Honestly I was kinda relaxing looking, oh look a depressed human not a Biggy just a sad sack being sad
So we continue our quest on the river Stix it was quite the aesthetic
not to mention it was fun pushing the monokumas into the water hhahaahh
course then we went in a room that had another monoku-man puzzle which had a hologram!
but man look fancy art displays, what do they mean
[note]
the bomb inside her 2
Gp: harem boogaloo
but this seems like something you'd- you'd- this seems like something you'd- ha
this seems like something you'd watch while taking drugs, so your mind slows down to not be able to process how stupid it is
hahahah
I mean I'm sure some people genuinely like it, but still
Well we continued on more monoku-man more art so pretty love the fairy tale aesthetic oh hey look!

memoirs of jataro kemuri
Gp: ooooo
yes he was defiantly rjs favorite I can tell
Soulbound: why?
Gp: cause he's my favorite to!
besides you can tell from the wording, it's not in an overly simplicial sense like SOME people it's more calm and genuinely natural but still keeping his charm and true to himself but still trying to pick things of from rj. I don't think I'm explaining it right so lets just call it a gut feeling ok.
Soulbound: that I will agree with especially since I could barely comprehend what you said
wait aren't you not supposed to know that?
Gp: know what?
Soulbound: never mind
[note]
how to kill demons masterpiece no. 2
Gp: so weird and over the top I'm more of a, just get it over with kinda guy
but look we're here!
man its such a pretty building
Soulbound: I'm not sure on an architecture stand but subjectively, yes I do think it looks nice
Gp: oh hey look its jataro!
Jataro: Aah...I was spotted. This panel is a masterpiece, don't you think? I'm such a coward. Using these overpowering numbers when I'm only against two old demons. Hey, do you hate me now? If you start to hate me, then I'll turn you into such beautiful art! It should be easy for lil ultimate art.
Gp: BABY BOY IN FRONT OF ME
At which gp proceeded to give jataro all the head pats all over his face
Soulbound: I think we have more pressing matters like the monokumas he summoned
Gp: ah you can handle them!
so jataro how's your life? The others been treating you well I'm sorry they don't, I know you said you like being hated but I think you can have some secret enjoyment from being liked to
Jataro: ….no no no this isn't right at all!
At that gp got punched in the face by a monokuma but thankfully soulbound picked him up and was able to handle the rest
but it still hurt
but in the end we won as most stories go
Gp: aw he leeffttt
Soulbound: oh we'll see him again; we need a boss battle after all
Well anyway we went inside the building, it was a pretty building reminded me of when I was young and visited the empire state building in New York on my birthday, good times
Gp: but oh look an elevator!
Soulbound: most likely locked we need to earn the right to ride it
Well anyway soul was right but as we looked around there was a neat monokuma statue, it's a mighty shame that once this all blows over that's probably gonna be destroyed
oh look!

[note]
this is what I hate about you, Demon-chan
There was nothing much to say on these notes but they were still interesting none the less but in the end the elevator needed a card so we had to go find it, well or we can climb all the way
BUT THIS WAS A TIME SENSTIVE MISSION
so we had no time to lose!
But then!
BALL MONOKUMA
The one they make memes about
so we made are accent up the tall building
I really liked the aesthetic it made me happy, I wish I had more time to just stop and appreciate the soundings because it was all so pretty, but we had to keep moving so I won't write again till something important happens

spiritual detective nekopi
Gp: I had a friend who had a dog named kopi
Soulbound: that's what you're interested in?
Gp: sorry I just tend to ramble, but you know in game when they find this book komaru goes on about her ability to see ghost
Soulbound: yes it's a shame since no one believed in ghost no one believed her
Gp: which was hecking annoying
like the story about her teachers ghost they all think he was a creeper but since she can see ghost it was definitely a ghost! The teacher must have died and wanted to say goodbye to her or something
Soulbound: …yes
Gp: but that's not the scariest thing
whats really scary is that if ghost are real then all the people who died in killing games probably got turned to ghost, and if that's the case rj is probably haunted by a bunch of ghost!
Soulbound: that is a safe assumption
would shirokuma be haunted to?
Gp: not sure, like yeah its rjs mind but rj still has their body so the soul isn't housed in the robot at the moment, but if the right things are done its possible I assume…
the time when all fear should be felt… beware the cry of depravity's day…

children's paradise preamble
Well anyway we then got to a puzzle room full of keys
Soulbound: gp, no, drop them
Gp: but shiny keys! Feel satisfying, and go clickily click then I nick them
Soulbound: you can't carry all those keys leave them here
Gp: aww…
At that gp dropped the huge pile of keys he horded, they only needed the right one to open the door

letter from a Towa tower employee 3
Gp: … yeah this guy's totally dead
…..SOUL LOOK
Itssss hiiiiiiimmmmm PAPA FUJISAKI
Taichi: Who's there!? Huh? You...aren't kids...are you?
Gp: haha last I check kids don't got beards so no! and you?
Taichi: Ah! I'm not anyone shady! I promise I won't hurt either of you!
Soulbound: pardon our intrusion but it is a surprise to see someone here in general if you don't mind, what are you doing?
Taichi: ...Hiding. I thought I wouldn't be found by the kids if I stayed here.
Gp: ...COOL! and the laptop?
Taichi: Oh, I picked that up at an electronics store in the city. I thought that I could use it to remove this bracelet, so I tried writing several programs, but…
Soulbound: ah that's understandable, but have you tried foil? It blocks radiofrequencies meaning you can safely yank them off without them blowing up
Gp: but I mean the problem is getting some we had enough for soulbound, but I still have mine
You see what we did was a neat trick called "lying" and we thought it for the best at the moment
But what about you?
Taichi: Ah, that bracelet! Then...you also wound up a part of that cruel game? Oh dear...you poor thing…
Gp: why do people treat me like a baby?
Soulbound: well you are a baby but even then look at you, you're a frail old man; your short, underweight, have messy white hair and bags under your eyes and to top it all of you have a huge scar across your neck its no wonder the WOH didn't think much of you it looks like if I just touched you the wrong way your body would give in on itself
Gp: rude… it's a good thing I liked being babied, it makes me feel special
Soulbound: you need not worry to hard on us though we got by greatly if anything I feel the need to stretch my sympathy's towards you
Taichi: your right...if I had successfully gotten the bracelet off with the laptop then I could have saved you…Do you know? While we have these bracelets, we can't leave the city. Basically...if we can't get these bracelets off, then our chances of being rescued look bleak…
Gp: hey! Don't worry like that! Me and soul have a plan to save everyone in the city!
Taichi: Eh?
Gp: uh well you see the future foundation like we talky to them though lapy top. We just need to reach them from the top
Taichi: U-um...What are you talking about?
Soulbound: what my associate meant to say is that we have a communicator to talk to the future foundation and even though there's a jammer if we get to the top we can talk to them
Taichi: of course! with the height of this tower, you should be able to avoid the jamming.
Gp: yeah! You get it!
Taichi: But all the same, wouldn't it be unnecessarily difficult to climb using the stairs?
Gp: well unless you gotta card for the elevator then I don't know other way to get to the top then to practice leg day
Taichi: Card...You mean the elevator's security card?
Gp: yeah why?
Taichi: Ah, sorry...I don't. It's just…No...I shouldn't say thoughtless things...I was thinking hypothetically…
Gp: no no! say it! Don't leave us hanging like that!
Taichi: Oh...I was just thinking...that if it's just moving the elevator, I can probably do that.
Gp: REALLY!?
Taichi: I've worked in security before, so with my experience, I should be able to do something… ...Of course, you have no reason to believe me when we've just met. Besides...I talk a big talk, but I can't even get the bracelet off…
Gp: no no! I believe you! Please help up the fate of the world is at stake!
Soulbound: while my associate is overreacting if you could help us we would be eternally grateful so let it be known it's the truth we put our faith in you
Taichi: Eh? O-okay...Understood. I'll try.
Gp: YEAAAAHHH
Soulbound: gp a word
Gp: what?
Soulbound: this man is going to die
Gp: WHAT?
Soulbound: maybe, ok it's a bit ambiguous cause his body disappears so some people think he survives but he probably died
Gp: we can't have that!
Soulbound: now I am ok with saving him, but this isn't like Yuta, Chihiro is dead and he dosent know
someone's gonna have to tell him that if he lives
Gp: yeah but I don't want to tell his wife he died either
Soulbound: what?
Gp: well I read in the art stuff that she was gonna be a character in this and shes the one who made the hacking guns
Soulbound: well shes not in the game so who's to say its cannon
Gp: who isn't?
Soulbound: well if you say so then let it be that she exist and who am I to stop a couple from reuniting when I have the power to save one
but still
Gp: we'll burn that bridge when we get to it soul
Soulbound: indeed…
Taichi: are you two coming or?
Soulbound: oh yes! Of course sorry, let us go
Course then we had to go all the way down while fighting monokumas…
Gp: hey soul I have a plan that can save us time it's risky, but we need all the time we can get right?
Soulbound: sigh…. Hold on
at that he holds taichi in one arm and gp in the other
Taichi: what are you?
And soulbound jumps directly to the bottom floor
Taichi: AAAAAHHHH
Gp: WWEEEEEEEE
[note]
Towa city of all places
Soulbound: drops gp and taichi
We're here
Taichi: oh! Uh, thanks?
Soulbound: apologies if that scared you I just saw it as efficient and thus followed through
Gp: so we're at the elevator can you do it?
Taichi: Hmm...that's Towa City for you. They use the latest security systems. This is...a tough one.
Gp: you can do it! I believe in you!
Taichi: Y-yeah...I'll do the best I can.
Soulbound: you will succeed we have faith in you.
Taichi: Haha... My family used to say. That I'm a flaky father…
Gp: yeah… I wasn't the best dad to my child either
Soulbound: may we talk about this, after the elevator opens, id rather not have a heartfelt conversation in a space where a monokuma can munch on us at any second, apologies I'm just paranoid
Taichi: No Y-you're right…Now then...I'll begin at once.
Gp: good luck!
you done yet?
Taichi: Hmm...looks like it'll take some time. I'll make it work somehow.
Gp: Nar… I guess we can wait
But then the monokumas showed up
SCRATCH THAT CAN'T WAIT
Taichi: W-wait a minute! I've only just started!
Soulbound: need not worry, you hack, and I'll defend
Gp: you'll mean we defend! For we are… do we have a name yet?
gosh darn it I don't think we do
Soulbound: you can think of names later for now, WE FIGHT!
And so we did, honestly I think we did pretty good I just wish I was more explainy with this stuff but then it was time
Taichi: It...looks like we're done here.
Gp: FINALY!
Soulbound: be on alert gp
Taichi: I have to thank you two. Thanks to you two, there's finally a hope! If we call for help from here, the Future Foundation will surely come to rescue us! We'll be saved! We'll be able to see our families. It's okay. Only a little more. Let's go toge-
But before he could say more soulbound grabbed taichi and moved him out of the way as soulbound stood in his place
Soulbound: watch out
And as a monokuma burst out soulbound PUNCHES THEM TO TINY PIECES
BEAST MONOKUMA
or at least what was left of one, way to ruin the atmosphere
Now you stand here far away where the monokumas can't hurt you and let us handle the rest
And handle the rest we did!
well soulbound did
but I made great moral support!
Gp: that was close buddy see this is why you gotta be more aware of your soundings one wrong step and BAM a yummy mono platter
Taichi: you two saved me, I don't know what to say…
Soulbound: well don't say anything it was nothing truly I'm sure if the roles were reversed you would have done the same for us
Gp: besides you helped us open the elevator so technically we're even!
Taichi: so I suppose we should go in
Soulbound: no! well not you, you see from those monokumas I can safely assume that the elevator is a trap and that me and gp will be forced to face one of the kids that trapped us here, now me and gp can handle ourselves but if you came with we would sadly not be able to ensure your safety
Taichi: oh… of course, even now I'm still unreliable
Gp: don't say that without you we probably wouldn't be able to get the elevator working! Then me and soul would probably spend the whole weekend just climbing this thing
Then soulbound hands taichi a map
Taichi: whats this?
Soulbound: this is a map to an adult base if you can make it there we can ensure your safety
Taichi: but how am I supposed to get there? There are possibly hundreds of monokumas between here and there
Gp: stop selling yourself short buddy you managed to survive the whole collapse and even make it here just by hiding and you avoided danger where others have collapsed
but if there's a defense tool you need
At that gp handed taichi a hacking gun
I don't need it besides if anything it should be yours
Taichi: w-what?
Gp: a little birdie told me that your wife is in the future foundation and was the inventor of such a device
Taichi: really!?
Gp: yes! I wouldn't lie about such thing, but I do admit I just heard it so take a grain of salt with your fries
Taichi: if their still alive… maybe my child is to
Soulbound: tell him
Gp: no..
…I have a songhter too
Taichi: songther?
Gp: I'm a bit confused on some gender things going on with them and I don't wanna be a blabber to everyone, but I don't wanna disrespect them either
Taichi: I could say the same for myself, maybe our children could be friends
Gp: at that gp murmured something under his breath
oh… they where
he had a strong feeling in his heart, the feeling of knowing his child basically caused taichis sons death
he felt guilt, at that he started to sweat, though it wasn't sweat… such is the fate of a guilty pleasure
Taichi: are you ok?
Gp: ah yes! Just a heat flash, it will go away eventually. But you should go the longer we sit the faster monokumas will regroup
Taichi: ah! You're right! I'll go then
oh and good luck with your journey
and one more thing
Soulbound: yes?
Taichi: thank you
At that soulbound had a genuine smile being happy as he felt he did a good thing, all the while taichi left
so at that it was time
Gp: ok let's go in the elevator and face the stuff now …. Eh I'm a bit nervous
Soulbound: let us go then
So we went into the elevator and as it went up it suddenly stopped just as expected and as we open and as we opened the door we again saw the arena the kids wanted to fight us in (and by us I mean soulbound cause I'm a lazy bum) but look at the top its jatarooooooo
Jataro: Hey, why did you guys run to a place like this? Did you think that you could escape me if you fled to a high place? But you see...there's nowhere you can run from me. In fact, the more you run away from me, the closer you get to me. After all...the world is round!
Gp: huh, I never really thought of it like that. that's a fair point!
Jataro: So, how does it feel to be ambushed by someone like me? Do you feel more and more terrible? Do you hate me more and more?
Gp: oh no! if anything you're my favorite of the WOH, but shhh keep that a secret. don't want them to be jealous. So in summery I'm very happy to see you!
Jataro: No...that can't be right. Those aren't the eyes of an adult looking at something they truly loathe. I've been looked at with those eyes from the moment I was born, so I understand perfectly.
Gp: awe poor baby, I'm sure you look lovely and even if yah don't I'm sure it be a cool deformity. I'll keep a secret. Come on show us your face, even if we don't like it it will still be one heck of a cool intimation tactic you can use on demons, but I promise I won't judge!
Jataro: N-not that! Anything but that! Don't you know that if you see my face, your eyeballs will rot into a puddle!
Gp: come on buddy I promise I won't melt, shooooooowwww
Jataro: You're wrong! It's true! They really will rot! If they wouldn't rot...then why would I have to wear this mask? Why would I be made to wear this suffocating mask all day every day? Why would I be told that people's eyes would rot?
Soulbound: …..
Gp: poor baby
Jataro: That's just how ugly I am. Uglier than ugly...more than anyone on Earth. Right from when I was born and the doctor pulled me too hard, my face was warped into a strange shape. And then my pores stopped functioning and my hair became sparse, and the skin on my face became unnaturally distorted. Something dirty and slimy and sticky drips from the walls of my festering ears…My lips folded way outwards, and my exposed gums dried out and became brown…All that's left of my nose is a wrinkled lump of flesh like a prune…That's how ugly I am! So showing myself to people was embarrassing! I was told "You don't look like other children," so that's how it is…If you see this ugly face of mine...everyone...everyone's eye would stop working and they're faint. So, I'm not wrong! Definitely, absolutely not wrong!
Soulbound: you poor child, I understand how such mistreatment can lead to resentment but is this really what you want? If it is I won't be able to stop you from going down said path but please hear my concerns when I say that I do not believe doing this will make you happy
Jataro: Eh? Ah, this is annoying...You misunderstood so badly…We're working to change the world, not for some shoddy reason like that. Well, it's fine if you don't understand. Either way, there's no need for demons in our world. Wonderful, wonderful, fulwonderwonderfull! That's the world that we're creating on our own for children only!
Course then all the kids started booing at him
...Eh? Why are you booing me? I'm right!
Gp: cause your not doing evil right buddy! To be evil. Is to have a fire in your soul, a passion! A spark! A flame that will never die! The thrill of crushing your enemies heart in your hands as you look at people with the common villain glare, put your hands on your hips, lift your head high, gain all the energy from your stomach
AND LET OUT AN EVIL LAUGH
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!
Jataro: There! Those eyes! Those are eyes that say I'm gross and detestable! Ehehe, please finally truly hate me!
Gp: huh? Oh no I wasn't looking at you I was just trying to give off my iconic villain glare
every great villain has one
Soulbound: stop encouraging him gp
Jataro: well now… there's the problem! you're confusing hatred with thinking I'm evil. After all...we're going to bring peace to the world. So we're not doing anything wrong! No matter how hated, we're not wrong at all!
Soulbound: ah! So you're legally insane that's great! It means when the worlds restored you'll just get medical help instead of, whatever punishment you would receive
Gp: well I don't consider it the best! That means he will be in a funny farm for longer than a prisoner of the same crime, but that's great it means go big or go home jataro! SHOW US WHAT YAH GOT FOR WE ARE GUILTY PLEASURE AND THE COUNT OF SOULBOUND AND WE WON'T GO DOWN WITHOUGHT A FIIIGGGHHTT
Dramatic pose
You may not believe me but then everyone clapped, but don't worry I think it was less to do with what I said and more to just spite jataro, how rude
Jataro: Eh? What? Why...is everyone cheering for the enemy!? Ah...I really am hated even by kids…See, that's how it is. This how hated I am…...ehe, I'm so happy! If I'm so hated, there isn't any reason to make lots of effort to be liked…I can do as I please!
At that I pull out a soda I wanna drink during the fight
Gp: ok soulbound I leave the rest to you, after all it's not like he's gonna say something shocking in the next few minutes
Jataro: Before you become lovely objects d'art, I'll say just one more thing. No matter how hated we are, no matter how detested, we are absolutely not wrong. That is an irrefutable fact. After all, big sis Junko said so!
Gp: SPITS OUT DRINK
WHAT!?
Soulbound: I knew it!
Music begins to play
Jataro: wait why do I hear musical music?
[MONOKUMA KIDS]
Like Father, like son
Like Father, like son
[SOULBOUND]
Don't come on so cocksure boy
You can't escape your past
No point in feeling pure boy
Your background intervenes
Listen good and listen straight
You're not the master of your fate
To this you must be reconciled
You'll always be your father's child
At times acclaimed, at times reviled
they'll wind up doing just what they done
Like father, like son!
[GP]
Hey hey hey!
Don't assume your vices
Get handed down the line
That a parent's blood suffices
To condemn the child's design
I've done wrong, I can't deny
But at least I know that I
Shouldn't blame that on my stock
This may come as quite a shock
I'm no chip off any block
I wouldn't wish those words on anyone
Like father, like son!
[SOULBOUND]
Gabe you're nervous, take my hand
All is settled, all is planned
We've got the world at our command
I don't think you understand
[GP]
I appreciate too well
The squalor at which you excel
It isn't very hard to tell
Evil's a distinctive smell
[SOULBOUND]
Where are you going!?
[GP]
I'm gonna hear it from the horse's mouth!
Maybe I can sort this out!
(GP storms off, leaving SOULBOUND horrified.)
[SOULBOUND]
He's lost all sense of reason, and why?
Some Japan rant!
Not only is that treason
Some doors are slamming shut
Just like me he's found that flesh
Can excite but will enmesh
Once we rid him of this blight
Once that harlot's out of sight
Then I think he'll see the light
He won't walk back en at it
He will run
Like father, like son
[SOULBOUND, MONOKUMA KIDS]
Like Father, like son
Like Father, like son
Like Father, like -
[SOULBOUND]
SON!
thank you monokuma kids you were great
oh I'm sorry Jataro you can go back to trying to kill me now
