ACT IV: THE POINT OF NO RETURN
GP: AND SO WE MOVE ON TO THE NEXT VOLUME AND THE NEXT ACT
soulbound: The point of no return a spot it seems all hope is truly lost for her
gp: yeah... well any way we start with a flashback to when she was young...
gp gains a reminiscent look on his face
daw look at her all young and innocent before she turned evil she was even using her smart brain powers to help si- Matsuda cope with his issues
soulbound: I feel like you're seeing a lemon and calling it an orange
gp: well I feel like you're ignoring the oasis I the desert!
theirs good in her I know it we just need to let it out...!
why don't we help reform her!
soulbound: then soulbounds face changed to one of great joy as if he was told the most humorous joke the face did not fit soulbound at all so gp knew he messed up
HAH! HA HA!
then his face changed back to one of dramatic seriousness
say your joking
gp: gp was nervous, but he was to adamant on his stance to back down
I'm not! I actually think we can do it!
I mean if people who committed galactic genocide can become good then surely one teenage girl who just destroyed the world will be no big deal
soulbound: ah yes because everyone will clearly just move on and automatically forgive them for what they done, and they will not get any repercussions cause "there sorry" no one will hate them and think their redemption is unjust
gp: really?
soulbound: ...
gp: hey! who cares what some people think as long as she admits shes wrong and strives to be better than we should see her for who she is and not who she was!
soulbound: she dosent deserve redemption
gp: redemption is a right! not a privilege!
soulbound: she must earn it and atone for her sins!
gp: and she will!
I know she can
she just needs someone to reach out to her
but this story proves she has good in her
and I'll prove it to you too
soulbound: we'll see
gp:...
uh anyway!
NEXT SCENE
gp: ugh we see Mr. thinks he knows whats best for her
I bet he's gonna do something stupid
soulbound: why
gp: because he always does something stupid
next scene
aw I guess we won't see what happened
eh dosent matter we all know he's gonna do something stupid anyway back to rj of course shes swoony over that man
Gabriel: I tell yah he aint right for you
ryoko: AH YOU'RE REAL!
she panicked dropping everything
Gabriel: hhahaha! Of course I am! did you think I was a oner and doner?
I guess you probably did but no skin of my bones... I'm a ghost after all so I have neither
but I tell yah he aint right for you
ryoko: why not
Gabriel: you deserve better! that guy may say he cares, heck he dosent even say it but he may think he cares but in the end he's just being a selfish squirrel trying to keep you for himself cause you're the only one who can put up with him but it's not like he actually helps you instead of giving you the care and treatment you need he enables your more toxic behavior
ryoko: course she didn't want to hear this since she loved Matsuda more than sliced bread
oh what do you know you're not my dad
Gabriel: ow... I put my hand on my heart that's truly the cruelest thing you can say
understandable though with how you are, I hope you can call me father though one day
but all I'm saying is I don't approve of him so watch out
but let's get on with it?
ryoko: get on with what?
Gabriel: with helping you of course we have to start with your memories
ryoko: my memories?
Gabriel: of course why do you think you relapse so much? its cause you remembering all those memories at once overstimulates you and stresses you out so much you get a mental break down
aka not nice
so I'm gonna try to ease them out one by one so when you do remember BOOM you aren't panicked and are still you!
ok so we gotta start with something simple, something fun as to not stress you out to much
OH I KNOW
[GABRIEL, spoken]
Tell me the part about the candles
[RYOKO]
Uh...
[GABRIEL, spoken]
Do not pretend you don't have it memorized
[RYOKO, spoken]
The only ones for me are the mad ones. Mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time
[GABRIEL]
If we're gonna go, we gotta go tonight...
[RYOKO, spoken]
The ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars...
and just by saying that it felt like ryoko woke up in an old memory of a time long forgotten in a much younger body looking at a dark but starry night sky as Gabriel looked at her with childlike excitement
[GABRIEL]
Oh...
If we're gonna go, we gotta go tonight!
Go tonight
Go tonight
I'm in!
[RYOKO, spoken]
For what?
[GABRIEL]
We're taking the risk
We're the fools who will never learn
Pushed to the edge, out on the ledge
Will you die out or burn, burn, burn?
Don't ask if you can
No, that's a mistake girls make
'Cause those good old boys
They had their good old days
But now they're gone, and now their world
Is ours to take!
We're mad to go…
Mad to drive…
Mad… to be alive…
We're chasing stars
A thousand suns…
The mad... mad ones
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
[RYOKO]
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
[GABRIEL]
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
[RYOKO]
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
[GABRIEL]
We break the lock

[GABRIEL & RYOKO]
To reach for more
[GABRIEL]
We make the rules
We make a vow to be mad
Girl, we're what matter now
Okay, first thing's first, take everything you need from your home
[RYOKO, spoken]
What?
[GABRIEL]
If we're gonna go, we gotta go tonight!
Forget it, I can always get you more stuff
If we're gonna go, we gotta go tonight!
Where are my keys?
[RYOKO, spoken]
Just calm down! there's planning involved. What are we living on, who's paying our cell phone bills?
[GABRIEL, spoken]
Well, A...
breaks ryokos phone and throws it in ocean
[RYOKO, spoken]
Gabriel!
[GABRIEL]
And two, RJ!
If we're gonna go, we gotta go tonight!
Go tonight
Go tonight
[RYOKO]
You're drunk!
[GABRIEL]
YOU'RE DRUNK!
If we're gonna go, we gotta go tonight!
Go tonight
Go tonight!
[RYOKO, spoken]
That dosent even make sense! We can't just-
[GABRIEL, spoken]
STOP SAYING 'CAN'T'!
[RYOKO, spoken]
STOP TELLING ME WHAT TO DO!
[GABRIEL]
THAT'S THE SPIRIT
If we're gonna go, we gotta go tonight
If we're gonna go, we gotta go tonight!
[RYOKO]
If we're gonna go, we gotta go tonight
[GABRIEL & RYOKO]
Go tonight!
Go tonight...
[RYOKO]
Without any plan!
Just the keys and the radio
[GABRIEL]
Yeah!
[GABRIEL & RYOKO]
Living for us
Kicking up dust
[RYOKO]
We just pick up and go, go, go
[GABRIEL, screaming]
YEAH!
[RYOKO]
It's never or now
[GABRIEL]
Never or now, yes!
[GABRIEL & RYOKO]
Time to take your foot off the brake...
[RYOKO]
Yeah, those good old boys
They had their good old days…
[GABRIEL & RYOKO]
But now they're gone
And now their world
[GABRIEL]
Is ours to take!
[RYOKO]
It's ours to take!
[GABRIEL & RYOKO]
WE'RE MAD TO GO
MAD TO DRIVE
[GABRIEL]
Mad!
[RYOKO]
Mad!
[GABRIEL & RYOKO]
TO BE ALIVE
WE'RE CHASING STARS
A THOUSAND SUNS
[RYOKO]

[RYOKO]
Whoa-oh-oh
[GABRIEL]
Whoa-oh-oh
[RYOKO]
Whoa-oh-oh
[GABRIEL]
Whoa-oh-oh
[GABRIEL]
If we're gonna go, we gotta go tonight
Go tonight, go tonight
If we're gonna go, we gotta go tonight
Go tonight….
but when she woke up from her happy memory looking at Gabriel's ghost a thought hit her
[RYOKO]
But we didn't go, didn't go
Go that night…
Did we?
[GABRIEL]
No, we didn't go, didn't go
Go that night…
[RYOKO]
I mean, obviously!
The whole thing went south
Per usual, Gabriel's only plan was running his mouth
[GABRIEL]
HEY HEY HEY!
Oh, but who let down who?
[RYOKO]
Who let down who?
[GABRIEL]
Who let down who?
[RYOKO]
Who let down who?
[GABRIEL]
You were the one who put on the brakes
[RYOKO]
I wanted to graduate first!
[GABRIEL]
You didn't have what it takes!
[RYOKO]
Oh, who let down who?!
[GABRIEL]
Who let down who?!
[RYOKO]
Like you ever follow through on a single word you say
[GABRIEL]
If we'd only go that night
THEN I WOULDN'T BE DEAD!
[GABRIEL & RYOKO]
Tell me...
[RYOKO]
Who let down who?!
[GABRIEL]
Who let down who?!
[RYOKO]
Who let down who?!
[GABRIEL]
Who let down who?!
[RYOKO]
You!
[GABRIEL]
You!
[RYOKO]
You!
[GABRIEL & RYOKO]
YOU! YOU! YOU!
….
as they stopped their argument both of them only lasted a few seconds being mad before then looking at eachother apologetically
[GABRIEL]
Whoa-oh-oh…
[RYOKO]
Whoa-oh-oh…
then forgiving eachother they just celebrated being back in each other's lives
[GABRIEL & RYOKO]
Whoa
[RYOKO, simultaneously]
Mad!
[GABRIEL, simultaneously]
Mad to go!
Mad to drive!
Mad!
[RYOKO]
Mad!
[GABRIEL & RYOKO]
To be alive
We're chasing stars
A thousand suns

[RYOKO]
Whoa-oh-oh
[GABRIEL]
Whoa-oh-oh
[RYOKO]
Whoa-oh-oh
[GABRIEL]
Whoa-oh-oh
[GABRIEL & RYOKO]
We break the lock!
We kick the door!
[RYOKO]
Mad!
[GABRIEL]
Mad!
[GABRIEL & RYOKO]
To reach for more!
We make the rules
We make a vow
To be mad!
Girl, we're what matter
nooooooooooow!
Whoa-oh-oh
and as she was swooning then thinking about remembering she was interrupted by you know who
siramay: HEY BUDDY I FINALY WOKE UP FROM MY CONCUSION
ryoko: AAAHHHH (2 magical dragon boogaloo)
Gabriel: ou! is that a new friend you got? he looks neat!
siramay: woah, Deja vu
where was I? oh yeah! it is I the muse! here to help you!
ryoko: with what?
siramay: I donno I'm sure your book says whatever ?
ryoko: but why do you care?
siramay: because your my friend! and I'll be honest to my visit here there's only one thing I really want
your genuine happiness not any kinda joy that you make from your pain like making a jagged rock a smooth one when hit enough I want you to be happy with no hurt coming towards you like a tree making a delicious apple that in turn feeds someone all the while helping seeds get planted
SO READ THE BOOK SO YOU MAY CONTIUE THE QUEST AND FACE THE TRUTH SO YOU MAY RISE FROM THE NEEDLEWOOD AND LIVE ON LIKE A BEAUTIFUL PHOENIX!
siramay says doing a dramatic pose before calming down and saying in a softer tone
after all a phoenix can only become a beautiful firebird after full turning itself to ash...
well after that ryoko did plan on opening her book only to be interrupted again
Gabriel: he seems nice I'm glad you have a friend though relating to what I was saying he also isn't the one
ryoko: huh?
Gabriel: I mean sure you aren't looking but in case you have any ideas he won't be the one for you to spend long life with
sure his oddball behavior compliments your to a t and I can see a ground of understanding also he actually cares and is willing to be here to help you
but that's just it his deep caring combined with his bombastic attitude it just, makes me worry that in his quest to help you he might do something drastic...
ryoko: like what?
Gabriel: ...I don't know
eh but I'm blabbering we all know that's your job in the relationship go on read what you had to do we're all waiting
pans back to siramay who's just starring at her
and so she opens the book and remembers what she must do as she rose to a jolt and sprinted towards the neurology building
followed by her small not reluctant party
Gabriel: whose ghost floats behind her as if he was being pulled by an invisible rope
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
siramay: and siramay who she knows as the muse follows quickly behind her
YEAH CONTIUE ARE QUEST FOR ADVENTURE...
HEY SLOW DOWN MY LUNGS SUCK!
and so they ran to the neurology building, but they didn't find Matsuda instead they found
the man
the myth
the legend
MAKOTO MOTHER LOVEING NAEGI!
and while ryoko is confused siramay literally fangasims
siramay: oh my KODAKA! IS IT REALY YOU OOOOOOOOO
MY WORD IT IS MAKOTO NAEGI YOUR MY HEROOOO!
did anyone ever tell you you are the brightest handsomest best man on earth?
CAUSE YOU ARE!
EHWHEHEHEHEH
Makoto: uh who are you?
Makoto said slightly concerned as siramay was hounding him like a dog reuniting with its owner
siramay: only one of your biggest fans! and while yeah you may not have a self-made ultimate skill it should be no surprise that lucky students have their fans too!
like I mean you should see that Komenda kids fans... they are yikes
but oh my your even cuter in person! I just wanna give you all the head pats
ryoko: do you know him?
siramay: do I know him! of course! HES MAKOTO MOTHER LOVEING NAEGI THE PUREIST BOY IN THE UNIVERES AND SOON TO BE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD
Makoto: huh?!
honestly Makoto was very overstimulated and flabbergasted by what siramay ad to say but siramay wouldn't let down
siramay: is it true you got stuck by lighting and survived
Makoto: well... yeah
siramay: SO COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!
oh yeah and miss red head over there's my friend
shes going through stuff
and so they continue talking
siramay: aw come on r you can trust him Makoto's a good boy then siramay started patting his head
and he deserves all the love and head pats!
Makoto: um...
siramay: something the matter?
Makoto: your kinda... to close
siramay: OH MY KODAKA IM SO SORRY!
he continues to bow up and down repeatedly
I was just so excited to meet you that I totally forgot about your personal space I'm so sorry forgive me I'm a worm a worthless worm!
Makoto: hey don't beat yourself up! its ok really, just remember personal space
siramay: you really are an angel, well not literally... I don't think...
so they continue
ryoko: I-It's no good! I can't do it!
Makoto: W-What?
ryoko: I can't say sorry to you for saying you were suspicious, you're only pretending to be a nice guy!
Makoto: I-I'm not suspicious! He quickly shook his head, ―I'm not pretending to be nice or anything either… I just
came here to give back Matsuda's lost item! That's really all there is to it!
siramay: yeah Makoto's an angel!
Makoto: you don't have to always call me an angel
siramay: but you are!
then he looks at ryoko
not saying that you aren't an angel you're an angel to...
Satan was an angel once...
Makoto and ryoko were left in concerned silence but continued talking
Makoto: But if that's true…
ryoko: … Eh? Without realizing it, I asked him to repeat himself. ―If what's true?
Makoto: Eh? I-It's nothing… It's not important!
ryoko: If it's not important then you can tell me. What do you mean by if that's true? Hey, tell
me already! If it's not important then you should tell me. I'm right, aren't I? Hurry up and reply!
siramay: yeah Makoto don't leave us hanging like witches, give us the juice
speaking of any of you want some?
he pulls out a cup of juice from his hand
its cherry! or are you guys more of a green apple kinda guy?
Makoto and ryoko: ...
siramay: I'm not helping am I?
Makoto and ryoko: no
siramay looks down in defeat as they continue
ryoko: Become… forgetful…?‖ Somehow I couldn't say anymore. Any knowledge of stringing a sentence together had mysteriously disappeared. I was planning to ask him if he knew me before I became forgetful ―Ah!‖ I suddenly raised my voice. I shuddered as if I had been hit by a thunderbolt.
Makoto: W-What's wrong…
Naegi turned to me again with a worried expression. I quickly opened Ryoko otonashi's Memory Notebook' again and flipped through the pages, and flipped, and flipped, and flipped I saw a light that blinded my eyes for a moment. There was an explosion. The memories in my notebook and a flash of inspiration collided together and caused a violent chemical reaction. Sandwiched in my notebook was a single letter.
Dear Super High School Level Idiotic Forgetful girl,
I'm the one who took all your precious ―past memories‖ that you so carefully wrote down. They're filled to the
brim with ―memories of that Yasuke Matsuda. The past carries a lot of weight, doesn't it? Doesn't it? Am I right? It does…
ryoko: Hey, earlier you said a student had ‗become forgetful', didn't you? I
was overtaken by an immense excitement as I stood up.
So then the students here know about me before I became forgetful? You too, right? You also knew me before I was forgetful? Speak up!
Makoto: C-Calm down!
Naegi desperately tried to settle me down.
I don't really know but… it seems like it was due to some sort of illness, but I wasn't really paying too much attention… since I'm not really all that good at talking to people…
siramay: torous poo your amazing buddy
ryoko: It's fine, just hurry up and tell me! Did you know me before I was forgetful? Did you?
Makoto: Um… well, that's…
ryoko: Go on!
Makoto: … Y-Yeah He finally gave a small nod.
ryoko: I… I knew it… I confirmed to myself. The students at this school knew me before I had become forgetful - that means I had become forgetful after coming to this school. So then, what about that blackmail Enoshima Junko had written to me about my past memories'? Did I really ever have such an important ‗memory notebook'? No, maybe it was all just a trap so she could get me to cooperate with her.
siramay then starts sweating like he just had a dip in the ocean
part of his plan depended on said books but there fake but then if she was smart like he knew she might realize he was lying about it and throw him away like that ice cream lid he didn't know he needed till it was too late at Disney... I wonder if she ever gone to Disney DAH NO TIME TO BE DISTRACTED...but then again if I don't think about it maybe she won't realize the flaw in our friendship then again I could lie around it to maybe...
siramay got lost in thought as the rest of the story went by
Huh? I feel like I'm remembering something…
―Hey…‖ An annoying voice came pounding into my thoughts. It was Makoto's voice. He didn't seem
bothered by anything. I stopped concentrating on my notebook. I think I can almost remember it…
―Hey…‖
Shut up!
―H-Hey…‖
Argh, come on! I'm trying to concentrate here!
―Hey… !‖
then siramay picked her up and shook her like a ragdoll
siramay: HEY R NOWS NO TIME TO BE REMEBERING THAT GUY WHO HATES YOU IS HERE
Then Madarai showed up and held Makoto dangerously so
siramay: HEY IF YOU KNOW WHATS GOOD FOR YAH YOU'LL LET HIM GO!
madarai: … That's right. Late that night in the central plaza I, Madarai, was killed by my own target.‖
ryoko: Killed… by your own target?‖ Despite what he said, he looked completely uninjured to me -
madarai: I am immortal.
ryoko: … Eh?
siramay: ah I am ignored... this is the true tragedy...
Gabriel: OH GEEZE NOT THAT GUY
ryoko: you know him to Gabe?
Gabriel: of course he tried to kill you! that guy is no good who knows what bad effects he'll have on your mental health
and so they all continued to talk
Gabriel: geez this guy's dumb dosent he know rage only makes you a puppet for the evil guys plans? I'm an idiot but even I know that
THEY ARE DEAD LET IT GO
ryoko: that's kinda rude don't you think?
Gabriel: yeah your right... I mean if you died, and I'd live I'd probably destroy the world myself... which is ironic...
and so on
madarai: As if… We talked about it earlier. You know all about that incident.
ryoko: I r-really don't know anything about it! If you think I'm lying… then please look at this notebook! I haven't written anything in here about it!
This is my proof! I don't know anything about it, and I have nothing to do with it!
siramay: SHES INOCENT LET HER GO YOU'LL ONLY MAKE THINGS WORSE IF YOU GO DOWN THIS PATH
madarai: Would you cut it already? That notebook of yours doesn't prove anything… why are you hiding the truth? Are you the criminal's apprentice? Can't talk
about it? Or maybe you're really-
ryoko: I s-said I have nothing to do with it!
Gabriel: oh no rj look at me calm down!
Gabe turned her face to him
look at me it's gonna be ok just breath! you're not alone
just breath in and out its ok
as ryoko was breathing it seemed like she was calming down but then madarai like an idiot in his own self-righteous delusions had to ruin everything as he took Makoto hostage threatening his life if she ran
siramay got in an aggressive stance as he turned to look at ryoko with empathy as she looked like she was having a panic attack
Gabriel: Gabriel tries to hold her in a comforting way
look at me rj! ...I'm not really good at these types of things but I'm here for you! just breath in and out... in and out
its gonna be ok
I'm here for you
You can get through this
Gabe looked at the situation at hand somberly he wish there was something he could do but since he wasn't alive he was powerless, but he looked at the muse who then turned to look at madarai
siramay: MADARAI WHATEVER YOU PLAN TO DO TO MAKOTO I SWEAR WILL HAPPEN TO YOU TEN-FOLD!
madarai: oh and what are you gonna do?
siramay: oh you can see me!
I mean- it's not what I'm gonna do
siramay dramatically points in one direction
ITS WHAT SHES GONNA DO!
The figure appeared to slide towards Madarai and hammered the back of their fist into the
man's nose, making it bend to a strange angle. Madarai squinted his eyes shut in pain. He seemed to lose sight of his
attacker as he fell down.
After giving Madarai's chest a prod the stranger turned to Naegi and grasped his head in their hands
before moving to pick Naegi up. They placed him gently on top of the bed and turned around - Madarai flew
towards them. The stranger gracefully roundhouse kicked and hit Madarai square on the chin. The blow completely
smashed his key point and rocked his head violently, he fell to the ground, having no energy left.
By the way, this scene I just witnessed, it passed in the blink of an eye. The stranger skillfully landed without
making a sound after they finished their kick. Their skirt gently floated down - oh, they're a she?
Makoto: I-Ikusaba!
siramay: ahh... siramay proceeded to fawn over mukuro he then turned to Makoto do you mind if I steal her?
Makoto: huh?
siramay: oh you know form a bond of stuff and things I assure you I'm just lonely
Makoto: um sure? honestly Makoto had no idea what siramay was saying
siramay: YES!
Naegi got up from the bed and ran hurriedly to the girl.
Makoto: T-thank you, Ikusaba! Thank you so much!
He said, thanking her over and over again. However, the girl remained completely calmed and composed in response. Well I say calm and composed, but I think it's more like she just didn't feel anything.
mukuro: I was only helping my classmate…
she mumbled quietly to herself. Stubbornly, Ikusaba avoided his gaze.
But it's odd, looking at her now, you wouldn't guess she had just been fighting brilliantly only a few moments beforehand.
siramay: siramay then wrapped his arm around mukuro see this is what I'm talking about! then he pointed at mukuro YOU are amazing then he gave her lots of snuggles and head pats AND EVERYBODY LOVES YOU!
Makoto: Makoto proceeded to look at siramay
siramay: oh yeah personal space sorry
siramay proceeded to let her go as mukuro just looked down stimulated by all the affection siramay gave her
so they proceeded to talk
ryoko: … Eh?
I suddenly realized Ikusaba was standing right in front of me.
AWAWAWA!
I leapt back without thinking. Now that I think about it, did I really not notice her? Did she teleport?
mukuro: …
ryoko:…
I waited for her to show any signs of opening her mouth to speak, but I ended up giving in and raising my own voice.
Um, nice to meet you… thank you very much for earlier.
siramay proceeded to look down as if ashamed and muttered something under his breath
siramay: "Leave, Mukuro Why don't you march out that door?" Japan woman, she ain't no good to you Leave, Mukuro danganronpa wants war but it's you dying on her Pepto plains and yet loyal Mukuro remains...
Makoto: Eh?
siramay: oh nothing! just a song from a musical I like
he raised his voice in surprise. He walked to us, invading our line of sight as he blinked in surprise - But what was so surprising?
mukuro: … I'm Mukuro ikusaba
I tilted my head to the side slightly, in response, Ikusaba raised her voice a little more,
I'm the ‗Super High School Level Soldier' from the 78th batch… Nice to meet you.
Without even blinking, she moved her mouth as little as possible as she introduced herself. The moment she finished she returned to utter silence.
…
Gabriel: ah nothing like a family reunion...
ryoko: WHAT!
Gabriel: yeah that's the "special sister" you told me so much about can't you see the resemblance?
ryoko: not really...
Gabriel: I guess that's fair your fraternal I think... or maybe that thing about the Superfetation is true
but I'm not one to spread rumors
but yep that's her no spine and everything!
ryoko: wow...
Gabriel: yeah why else do you think shes here! cause she wooovveess you! like any good sibling should...
not that most siblings love eachother 5/10 they want to kill eachother from my experience
but that dosent make sibling love invalid! unless it's from Alabama of course but I digress shes the best!
besides that whole "abandon you with mean parents to fight in war thing" but she has a good heart I just don't know where her brain is
ryoko: what!?
Gabriel: sorry sorry! I forgot overstimulating you with memories you don't remember is bad for your health
just knows shes overall a good person...
oh and one more thing
ryoko: what?
Gabriel: tell her you love her more
ryoko: huh?
Gabriel: I know you don't remember but she works her but off for you doing whatever she can to comfort you and make you happy, and I know shes not the smartest so she dosent know exactly how to help you, but she tries her best... and you never thanked her or said how much it means to you and while it's obvious you love her you should tell her cause Sometimes the words We tend to withhold are exactly the words Someone needs to be told,
so please tell her later
ryoko: ...ok da- I mean Gabe
Gabriel: owo where yah gonna call me dad?
ryoko: no preposterous
Gabriel: awe come on rj! I know I personally feel like a failure of a father, but I would still love it if you called me dad!
ryoko: we'll burn that bridge when we get to it
Gabriel: daw I always say that...
and so then on
….
I was in silence with her.
….Even Naegi was silent, but he was as puzzled as before.
…. Madarai, still foaming at the mouth was, of course, silent too.
Everyone was silent.
An awkward silence.
siramay: ah look at all of us together truly this is a friendship that will last your lifetimes
siramay was sadly not silent
and then yuto came in and ruined everything!
...who's narrating this story again anyway? ryoko? no...siramay? gp? or maybe...
nah it's not important what is is that yutos here and in his need to solve this murder he's ruining everything
and everyone was talking about the dead madarai not that he's relevant
so I siramay taking back my role as narrator was annoyed at yuto's presents not angered like madarai or Matsuda cause he does have good intentions, kinda but in his need to drag ryoko in this murder case he's dooming the world, not to mention he dosent even care about her feelings or wellbeing, not that I could do anything about her wellbeing... how can an all-powerful being be powerless? well I just have to wait and hope it all works out in the end after all not today, not tomorrow not by the end of this story, a week or even 3 years! but as I'm a showgun dragon I know beyond a shadow of a doubt it will all work out in the end... even with all the blood spilled
oh this is a good time for me to but in since they want Makoto to but out!
siramay: hey! don't worry about are good puppy boi here! I'll take care of Makoto I had something I wanted to talk to him about anyway!
Makoto: but wait!
siramay: aww he wants to help ryoko he really is an angel... but I know he can't help her... not ye
now now my-koto they got everything covered here, for now we need to talk about your Destiney...
and so as I lead Makoto away as ryoko was being led away by yuto they gave eachother one last longing glance and I'll leave the narration to ryoko
I was thinking about Makoto looking at me for that last moment. His eyes sent me a burning feeling of
unease. The individual named Makoto Naegi gave me a sense of unreliability and had a weak demeanor - but in the
depths of his eyes at that moment, there was an incredible strength from his very core that shook all my previous
preconceptions of who this person was. He looked at me with a dazzling aura. Whether there was a problem, whether he
had an unbeatable enemy, he always would have a strength so strong he could never give up.
Such an unforeseeable person looked straight at me with those eyes. I don't understand how I can feel this way
around such a strange, mysterious force. However, I doubt I'll ever need to know. After all, he has nothing to do with
me, but that's not just a reason I'm using because it suits me, I just feel as though he basically has nothing to do with me.
For example, as if we were in alternate dimensions, surely Makoto's story and my own story will never cross paths
again. In conclusion we have nothing to do with each other.
I felt like that for some reason.
Gabriel: ...he's a keeper I approve
ryoko: it took ryoko a moment to process what Gabriel had said and when she realized she freaked out
WHAT!?
Gabriel: I'm just saying you don't meet a guy like that every millennia wink
And now for a brief period we turn to what siramay, and Makoto are discussing
siramay: now now Makoto I know you want to help but that's not your destiny
Makoto: but I- wait what?
siramay: your destiny! I don't think I ever said my name but I'm the muse and I know everything!
and you, you you you, you are gonna save the world!
Makoto: what me?!
siramay: yes! when the world collapses its gonna rest on your shoulders like the second coming! there will be a religion about you, you'll die but live and then you'll disappear, and people will wonder if you ever existed at all...
Makoto: what are you saying
siramay: I'm saying it's all so stressful and your still young and far from that destiny so relax while you still have the chance!
Makoto: I don't understand
[SIRAMAY]
Now now Makoto I tell yah you need to relax
Your gonna do some incredible things latter
But for now just relax and enjoy life everything's alright
Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you, oh
Don't you know
Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine
And we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without you tonight
If we try, we'll get by
So forget all about us tonight
[WOMEN]
Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes
[SIRAMAY]
Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you and anoint you
Myrrh for your hot forehead and
Then you'll feel
Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine
And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet
Close your eyes, close your eyes
And relax, think of nothing tonight
[WOMEN]
Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes
[GP]
meanwhile in the far off space two beings where stressed
ugh! he has all the power in the world so why dosent he use it to save her!
Why man, your fine ointment, brand new and expensive
Could on you must save the poor
Why has it been wasted? We could have saved maybe
Three hundred fallen bodies or more
People who are hungry, people who are starving
Matter more than his feet and hair!
[SIRAMAY]
Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to
Problems that upset you oh don't you know
Everything's alright, yes, everything's fine
And we want you to sleep well tonight
Let the world turn without you tonight
If we try we'll get by so forget all about us tonight
[WOMEN]
Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes
[SOULBOUND]
you're joking right? you know like me he can't do anything now...
Surely you're not saying he has the resources
To save them all from their lot?
There will be despair always, pathetically struggling
Look at the good things we've got!
Think! While you still have him
Move! While you still see him
You'll be lost, you'll be so sorry when he's gone!
[SIRAMAY]
Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you and anoint you
Myrrh for your hot forehead and then you'll feel
Everything's alright yes everything's fine
And it's cool and the ointment's sweet
For the fire in your head and feet
Close your eyes, close your eyes
And relax, think of nothing tonight
[ALL]
Everything's alright, yes, everything's alright, yes
