If anyone saw naegi they would think he was insane. But if Junko was insane, was he also insane? The fashionable luckster ran his fingers through the end of his hair. He knew that if he saw any of his friends what their reaction would be. Toko would say something about him being prettier than her, Asahina would listen to him, but just be weirded out. Yasuhiro would just be yasuhiro, Togami would look at him with disgust and skepticism. Kirigiri would be as quiet as usual but inside she was already looking for answers.
How is he gonna explain this?
"Oh isn't it just despairful" Junko said in his head.
"Shut up!"
"I swear that's all you know how to say, well that and your hope garbage" she said
"I could say the same for you! Every time you speak it's always about despair isn't there anything else you talk about!?"
At that junko just said one simple thing
"D-E-S-P-A-I-R"
"UGH"
Makoto holds his head with his hands as he looks around again.
This time trying to ignore Junko looking for an exit.
"You know Makoto if you wanna find the exit all you need to do is say please."
Makoto felt like this was a set up for a bad joke, no he knew this was a set up for a bad joke
But he still hoped it could solve his problems so…
"Can you please tell me where the exit is?"
"No i don't think I will"
"JUNKO"
"Kidding kidding! Jeez you're so serious being depressed won't change our situation so you should just embrace the despair with me and enjoy it!"
"Junko, tell me where the exit is NOW!"
"Fine, fine! Its up the hall down a left"
Makoto got up from the floor, he was thankfully still wearing his clothes so he pulled up his hoodie hoping that it wouldn't fall down.
"Ah yes genius that will totally hide the fact you grew 7 inches, have a red eye and are thicker than a snicker"
"Can you not!"
"It's the truth though that wont do anything
Just get it over with so we can get to the despair oh i can only imagine the looks on their faces"
"Junko made me wear lifts in my shoes and she gave me baggier clothing"
Naegi practices saying.
"Makoto these are people who solved over five murder cases one of them even being the ultimate detective"
"It's me they know I would never lie to them", ,
"Then why are you planning on lying?"
"Because I don't want to give them a heart attack before they know if I'm ok or not!"
"Fine, your funeral. Let's just get out of here already"
"I would but I'm having trouble moving, remember?"
"You can move now, I was trying to mess with you! It's more amusing that way."
Makoto tries to walk having no problem this time thinking about what Junko said he's hoping she wouldn't make him do some crazy stuff he will surely regret but knowing her he can't help but be concerned for the future.
Walking around he found what seemed to be an elevator.
"This is the way right?"
"Yeah, if you use it you can return back to the trial room."
Makoto pressed the button to the elevator activating it, opening the door for him to enter. Entering the elevator he felt nervousness eating him inside.
He's just a button away from seeing his friends. For some reason he's shaking.
"What's wrong Makoto? Don't you want to see our friendssssss?"
"Junko, you can stop our hands from shaking if your so worried about me seeing my friends you press the button"
"Well the thought of what will happen next I too can't help but shake in excitement!"
shaking his head he pressed the button.
There stand all of his friends…
