[ linagram season 3 albums info ]
this post includes season 3 album covers, original song titles, s3 voice drama titles, cover songs, album, character and song trailer voicelines and song previews! so yeah, very long post! but i feel like it's probably better to have everything in one place..
i've planned to go with a completely original concept for season 3 album covers but.. drawing all that would take too long.. and drawing the designs alone was already too much work for me, so i went with season 1-like album covers bc i actually haven't made these before! i've still tried to make them more. "linacore" and instead of a black background, i tried to make them more colorful. i think they came out too colorful.. apologies if they look too eyestrain-y..
(also i really tried to make them more hd but my editing apps kept ruining the quality. so sorry.. maybe that will make analyzing them more interesting in some way..)

IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO COME UP WITH A TITLE FOR HIS SONG I'VE LITERALLY TRIED EVERYTHING BUT ALL OF THEM SOUNDED TOO BORING.. i really wanted to have more fun with the song titles this time, so hopefully this one sounds cool.. okay, so his covers! literally all of them are about his relationship with arata, haha. COME ON UNFRIENDLY HATER IS LITERALLY THEM BEFORE THEY STARTED DATING. (or. "dating" as akio likes to say) mosquito is a much more angsty AND realistic take on their relationship ("in any case, in any case, you're the only one getting high", "the more we pursue one another, the more unsavory you become", "i'll die if i stop sucking from you, 'cause i'm a mosquito", "i wonder why it was so beautiful despite being so warped"). meanwhile akaa is like, the saddest one out of them all since in this case it's basically akio begging arata to stay with him, continue to praise him and call him a genius no matter what. i wish i could've given him something that could tell more about his relationship with chise too..

i think aimi's mv theme will be obvious, hehe. you won't have to think much about flower language and stuff like that tho, so don't worry. i really don't think i have to explain why i gave xxx cat to her, like. i think it's obvious jdkslsls (i also thought of maybe giving her bacterial contamination, but i changed my mind since even though the lyrics sound a lot like her, the aesthetic is.. not very aimicore). starlight girl was mostly given to her bc i thought it'd sound cute, but some lyrics do remind me of her and her relationship with her victim ("whispering that sweet lie, you disappeared", "but i still haven't been able to fill up this hole you left inside me"). was deep cover assigned to her only bc of the aimi (kotoko's va) pun?.. maybe. but no, no, i really do have a deeper reason for that! but for now, all i can say is. her relationship with miki and all other prisoners at the moment.

i honestly gave up while trying to think of a title for his song, so i think "???" perfectly describes shun's character and how tired i felt. if you need to know how it's supposed to be pronounced, i imagine it being something like "uhh..", showing how shun is confused 24/7. AND FINALLY HE'S OFFICIALLY GETTING A ZOMBIES COVER.. the reason why i went with zombies is bc shun just.. feels like a zombie to me. like the way he talks, how i imagine him moving, his color palette.. and also the imagery of his victims' dead bodies. like aww, he's drinking tea and eating cake while both his "ex-gf" and her new bf are dead <3 how cute.. i think his character trailer voiceline will really show how much the lines like "your body is cold even when we hug", "i love you, half-decomposed isn't bad", etc, fit him.. about aishiteitanoni, I DON'T THINK I HAVE TO EXPLAIN ANYTHING, IT'S PERFECT FOR HIM, I SCREAMED WHEN I SAW IT SHOW UP IN MY NOTIFS HSHAHSHSJS. meme is. meme. that's what a guilty verdict does to a guy. and yes, his vd's title is supposed to be a reference to his t1 vd :)

[ Creator's comments ]
oh naomi.. if only it was easier to come up with song titles for you.. i was giggling while typing her vd's title tho LIKE YES NAOMI EMBRACE THE FACT THAT YOU WERE NEVER ABLE TO TRULY GROW UP!! her miraise cover is really up to interpretation, it can be both about her relationship with her mother and her trying to express her true feelings and make her mother listen, but it also can be about her relationship with tao ("you went before me, didn't you?", "how long do i have to wait? how long do i have to cry?", "i'm singing to the you that will be born after tomorrow") i felt like "it's just life" really fits her and her cover would sound very pretty and it's also just. sad. like naomi really is a smart and talented woman, she could have a bright future, she could have lots of friends, but.. she has way too many issues. and she can't accept that. HER DOUBLE COVER WOULD BE SO GOOD. THE INSTRUMENTAL WOULD MOSTLY BE THE SAME BUT HER VOICE WOULD STILL SOUND SOFT AND REALLY ANNOYED AT THE SAME TIME.. i get chills while thinking about her version of the scene where mikoto calls his mom..

his song title was originally supposed to be a pun on the theme of his mv, but it sounded kinda meh to me, so i just went with his main philosophy instead sjskslsl. (the reference to that pun is still there on the cover though) also nO I'VE DECIDED THAT RABBIT HOLE IS VERY KEICORE A LONG TIME AGO EVEN BEFORE THAT ANIMATION SIT DOWN I'M POINTING MY GUN AT YOU SIT DOWN!!!! thank you now i didn't just go with rabbit hole bc "haha funny horny song", it actually does fit kei's aesthetic very well and the lyrics sound a lot like him because rabbit hole always sounded very.. childish to me? like yes, it's supposed to sound all silly and playful, but kei's whole thing is that even though he claims he's so cool and mature and gets all the bitches, this guy still feels like he's younger than eiji (who is six years younger than him), unconsciously regresses to cope with whatever life throws at him and rarely takes dark, scary and tragic stuff seriously. it does reveal some stuff about his crime and his relationship with the victims too! ("you want me to repent? what can i say?", "little miss devotion, the exit's over there, oh, so not going home after all?") as for his other covers, BAD HONEY HUNT FITS HIM SO WELL. LOOK AT THE THUMBNAIL. COME ON THAT'S SO HIM. and the lyrics sound a lot like him as well! about him getting tihtbilwy.. that's him taking his rose-colored glasses on again and singing about how he sees his relationship with ruka :')

[ Creator's comments ]
EIKO IS OVER HERE GOING FULL SLAY MODE!!! i originally wanted the title to be smth like "grave robber-chan/san", since i prefer to use jp honorifics in my writing, but i felt like no honorifics would fit the song's vibe, so i went with good old "miss" instead. parasite fits eiko so well.. it describes her relationship with her victim perfectly.. the reason why i gave her cat is. well first of all IT WOULD SOUND REALLY COOL, but also, i actually don't see it as eiko singing about herself, i like to think that she's singing about takeru instead, making fun of him for lying to her and manipulating her ("lie until it gets better, follow the king of the masquerade", "victim and perpetrator, let's keep it simple", "i just wanted to ask, so it's out in the open, i just got a little greedy"). MY BRAIN EXPLODED WHEN I REALIZED HER COVER CAN BE INTERPRETED IN THAT WAY LIKE IMAGINE HER SINGING ABOUT HOW MUCH HE SUCKS WHILE STILL HAVING THE ORIGINAL INSTRUMENTAL. (also considering what he did to her, "let's take a breather" sounds very... sad) about her getting getcha. let's just. let her have her girlboss moment one last time.

[ Creator's comments ]
we're getting another insect themed mv!! (though spider isn't really an insect but kei's t2 mv also had butterfly motifs so...) the caterpillar motif won't be that strong in asahi's mv description, but it will be there. i think i should draw him in his t3 mv outfit to show it better.. i think his hitojichi koukan cover would sound very cute and sad and the lyrics describe his relationship with satsuki so well.. ("no matter how much you love me, all i do is get itchy", "i can't drag you along so let's say goodbye", "after all, i want to make you my servant") YES ANOTHER VELL SONG I LOVE VELL'S SONGS OKAY they're so short but so catchy.. i feel like the voice that i imagine asahi to have would fit perfectly, like it'd sound so cute, but so punchable, like this kid goes "noooo, relationships are more important than money!!" and then literally the next lyrics are "money and personal connections make the world go round" 😭😭 but also, to be more serious, the lyrics are very asahicore!! ("naturally i always put myself first", "it's boring that people's desires never end", "in a nutshell i do that because it's funny to me", "that's a trust relationship! if it's not enough, you should buy it") about his umbilical cover... well. first of all, again, it'd sound cute! but also, um. considering the way his biological mom died, i thought that him getting this song would be very. ironic.

her voice drama's title is a sailor moon reference and her original song's title can be seen as a spongebob reference. i cannot take this woman seriously. but i actually like her mv's aesthetic a lot! i should definitely draw her in her t3 mv outfit one day.. (i say that even though i still haven't drawn her as that monster from her t2 mv. so sorry yurikers..) I HAD TO GIVE HER SALAMANDER OKAY!! I HAD TO!! it's literally perfect for one of the hunger prisoners, it's very yurikacore and the lyrics remind me a lot of her relationship with takame and just her personality in general. ("i surrender, i'm already hooked, i can't function without you anymore", "can i get seconds? one more time", "i'm already obsessed, is it doing super great?") love me some toxic spicy ramen yuri <3 binomi came out VERY recently and before that i was thinking of giving her eye by kanaria simply bc of the vibes, but maretu saved me once again 🙏 the hunger theme is so strong.. yurika deserves to cover all the cannibalism songs ever.. (fun fact yurika actually WAS supposed to be a cannibal but then i changed her crime. i think her current crime fits her better but still. we could've had a cannibal prisoner everyone) and again, i went with "i love you" bc 1) her relationship with takame and 2) i think there's something beautiful and horrifying about the concept of yurika feeding takame rats that she sees as a cake while also going "why can't i just do it right", considering the huge power imbalance they had with takame being older and being her boss and giving yurika literally everything she could've asked for and making yurika feel like she owes her in the process..

OH RIKU..... and also nope, riku's mv won't exactly have a video game theme, that's shun's thing, but the lyrics will reference them a few times. riku's mv is actually one of my favorites so hopefully you guys like it too.. he's my special little boy he always gets the best mvs.. (/j i don't have any faves sjsklssl but riku definitely always gets my creative juices going) i originally wanted undead alice to be his t2 cover but chimera is just so rikucore and i thought it'd go with his t2 mv really well, so i changed it though i still think that maybe chimera would be better as his t3 cover bc of the guilty verdict vibes chimera has.. so anyway undead alice is literally yueriku ("live by feeding on me, since you can’t go out like you want to", "i'm starting to hate the butterflies in my stomach, so please die before i kill you", "let’s bury this cowardly love here, let’s stop and forget all this, it’s better to hate since it's easier that way" AND BASICALLY THE WHOLE SONG). about shinitagari, i actually was planning to assign it to riku as a cover back when i first came up with him and riku's character even was kinda inspired by it! except shinitagari has a more positive meaning meanwhile riku took "wanna die? go ahead and die then" a bit too literally.. also yeah, he's the one who gets inmf this time. i imagine him making a rock cover of it too.. he surely took his guilty verdict well <3

[ Creator's comments ]
reina's album cover doesn't really have much to show but i think it actually fits her character a lot. also idk if it's that noticeable, but i tried to make her album cover more glitchy than the others. when it comes to her deco cover, i mostly went with it bc of her name meaning, but some lyrics are very reinacore (+ they remind me a lot of her relationship with her brother)! ("so please, shut up before i feel too embarrassed to speak to you again", "because no matter how many times you fool me with "i'm going to change," it'll just end all over again", "so let’s play the "whose fault is it game," the rules are rather hard, even for the winners") hello dystopia reminds me a lot of her character in general and i also just think she deserves to get at least one cover where she goes absolutely wild. fake actor and triage are just her being all sad but in hello dystopia she can go a little insane!! a little crazy even!!

[ Song Previews ]
Akio:
"Solve the problem! You know the answer! Good job! I love you, love you, you can do it!
I can't concentrate with those words playing in my head!
Well, whatever, I know I'll get the best grade in loving you anyway
So keep looking at me, keep saying I'm a genius, please praise me once more"
Aimi:
"Come on, accept my gift, tell me you're grateful, tell me how thoughtful I am
Did I do great? Am I a good friend? I know I am, I know I am
"This flower reminds me of you" I'm the sweetest person you've ever met, right?
"Sorry, but I gotta go" Hey, what do you think you're doing?"
Shun:
"It's a crime for me to be in love, so I'll play it safe
No more heartbreaks, no more lying to myself
I'm ready to live a happy loveless life 
So please, just forgive me already!"
Naomi:
"Your looks, your posture, your voice, your face
Everything about you is not mature enough
Don't laugh, don't cry, look them right in the eyes but not for too long
Go on, look at me, be honest with me, don't feel sorry for me, just like an adult would"
Kei:
"My love means nothing, if it doesn't make you cry
I don't want the kind of love that doesn't hurt me
"Play it safe"? Nah, that's not for me
Now can I get praised for being everyone's PERFECT lover?"
Eiko:
"Our love is dead, oh no, let us sing our prayers
Your lies were the only thing that kept me alive
Except I don't see your name on our grave, oh no, don't just leave me like this
Let's get buried next to each other, rotting together doesn't sound so bad"
Asahi:
""Stop, that's enough!" But it will never be enough
Sweet or sour, I don't care, I want everything I could never have
Even if it's rotten, even if it's broken, I just want to have something
Do you understand now? I live like I can die at any moment"
Yurika:
"What do you two think you're doing? Hey, hey, don't you know it's dangerous here?
Well, it's your fault now, shouldn't have taken a walk in the woods when it's this dark
What should we do with you? Should we tie you up? Should we cut off your limbs?
I bet you two taste like fear and betrayal, let me take a bite!"
Riku:
"Let's play until the sun goes down, let's play until we see the sky turn purple
That's what they want us to do anyway
Hey, are you having fun? Aren't you tired? Don't you wanna go home already?
"Nope, I'm just getting started!" Well, let me end everything here"
Reina:
"All of them? So guilty, guilty! 
"You are innocent" Haha, no, I am innocence itself!
This kind of behavior is unforgivable?
Then why did you still forgive me?"
[ Character Trailer Voicelines ]
Akio: "Uh.. Good morning, I guess.. No, it doesn't hurt as much as before, thankfully.. Hey. Why did you.. I mean.. Of course, I'm glad you've finally realized I'm innocent, but.. How could you just.. change your mind like that? What did you see in my video? Did you.. feel bad for me?"
".. Arata. Arata, I don't think he's supposed to- ARATA, WHY IS HE STILL ALIVE?!"
Aimi: "Hello, Miki-chan!~.. Hm? What? I mean, we're friends, so it's only right for me to call you that, right? Ehehe, you're like, my only friend here.. Ah, Akio-kun.. He's good too, I guess. But he's not really struggling anymore, so.. I don't think he will continue to rely on me anymore. I don't think he.. still likes me."
"It's okay.. It's okay, Nii-san couldn't be wrong.. They deserve it. All of them."
Shun: "LEAVE ME ALONE! STOP- DID MY PARENTS SEND YOU TO ME?! I SWEAR, IF YOU EVEN LOOK AT MY... Huh? Where.. am I? Where's Hina?.. And where's Jouhei?.. O-oh, it's you.. No, no, it's okay, I remember now. Even though I really.. don't want to remember."
"Ehehe, I've slept well.. Hey, what do you two want for breakfast? Come on, don't be shy~" 
Naomi: "I'M SORRY! I SAID I'M SORRY! PLEASE, MOM, I WILL DO ANYTHING, JUST DON'T.. Ah. It's you, Miki-san.. Hold on, where's Eiji-san?.. Well, I don't really care. So.. Guilty, huh.." *laughs* "I know I've said I'll be okay with any verdict, but.. How could you change your decision so quickly? Did you just remember how young my victim was?"
"When.. When will I finally be enough for her? Wait, is that.. Ah, whatever."
Kei: "Oh, Miki, it's you. And.. you're Hinode, right? Haha, I'm sure we'll have lots of fun together~.. Hey, is Eiji doing okay? This place doesn't have any doctors, so.. No, no, stop saying I'm kind. I'm just mad that I wasn't the one who has caused him so much pain. It's like someone stole a chance to show him more love from me.. Are you expecting me to thank you for saving me? Haha.. Dear, I know you're just playing with our lives as if we were your toys."
*crying* "Ruka.. I don't know why I did it.. It just.. It hurts so much.. C-can you hug me, please?" 
Eiko: "Takeru.. Takeru, please.. Did I do something wrong- O-oh, it's you, Miki-chan. And.. Woah, this new guy sure is handsome!.. But I still miss Eiji-kun. Hey, he's gonna come back, right? He will be okay, right?.." *in a lower voice* "It was her, right?.. I'll have to make her pay for this."
"Thanks for helping, I guess. Wow, it's like you have a lot of experience with this stuff.. Hey. What do you guys even do?"
Asahi: "A-ah, it's you, Miki-nee.. A-and who are you? Ugh, I just hope that he treats you better than Eiji-nii did.. Oh, I'm doing great! I mean, you forgave me again and all. Um.. I kinda miss Eiji-nii's cooking though. There's no point in trying to steal the guilty guys' food now.. Hm? S-shut up, I'm not fucking scared of them!"
"I'M SORRY! I JUST- I WAS SO AFRAID, I THOUGHT SHE- I THOUGHT SHE DOESN'T LOVE ME ANYMORE! PLEASE, LET ME STAY!"
Yurika: ".. I'm going to kill you. All three of you. And all the prisoners here. I hate you all. I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, I HATE YOU SO-.. Oh, it's you. What do you want from me? I know the third trial is starting, you don't have to tell me anything. Just leave already. Stop looking at me like that! If you don't leave, I will do what I promised to do to those two."
"We're finally done.. I won't have to deal with them anymore, I'm so happy.. U-uh, you're not mad at me, right?" 
Riku: ".. What do you want? Ugh, I still feel sick.. I don't want to talk to you. And you, especially.. Hey, do you feel proud of yourself, Miki? Didn't you say that "your forgiveness has its limits"? You're sooooo cool for voting me guilty. That was sooooo unexpected. You may have used that thing on me, but I still remember what you said. And I'm still mad."
"Come on. You knew it was me." *laughs* "Now.. Won't you do all of us a favor and die already?"
Reina: "Well, well, well. I got voted innocent. Again. What a surprise." *sighs* "When will this end, Miki? When will it end? It feels like my own personal hell at this point. And I agree that I should be punished, but.. Not like this. Come on. Would you want to be forgiven for killing your own little brother? If that's so, then you are truly heartless-" 
"Please, leave. I don't want to talk about it. It was my fault. My fault, my fault, my fault, my fault, my f-"

linagram t3 designs info!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
hi 👋 so this time we're going without character profiles because it takes. too much time for me to write them and it also just feels kinda awkward to write them now because it's all just "well.. this character sure has changed.. yeah"
so these are the prisoners' t3 designs and i'm going to talk about the changes i've made a little bit.
(also this time i went with drawing everyone's pupil shapes on their restraints because i got tired of drawing the milgram symbols every time. i think it looks cute)
Akio still has bandages on his head because of his injury, but he doesn't have them on his neck anymore, showing that he stopped hurting himself. His hair is still messy and it also got a bit longer on one side. His eyes are still empty as well, showing that he's still not over his season 2 punishment and he's still physically and mentally traumatized. As for his outfit, he's still wearing his school uniform, but at least he got a new jacket. Originally I was going to give him a completely different outfit, but I thought that him still wanting to wear his uniform would fit his character better.
Aimi's design hasn't changed that much. She got a new hairstyle, her hair is much shorter now and she still has the same ice cream hair clip. Her pupils have also changed a bit: her pupils used to be shaped like a broken heart and now they look like complete hearts, but they also look darker, implying that she thinks she got better, but in reality the girl is becoming more and more unstable. Her prison uniform has changed and she doesn't have a few of her restraints anymore, showing that she's getting more freedom thanks to her innocent verdicts.
Shun's hair has grown and his ahoge has changed to show that he didn't take his guilty verdict well. He has those "crazy swirly eyes" going on just like in the second season and he even has that shape on his restraints as well. Oh, he's wearing an eyepatch now as well, just like Kei :) Don't worry about it. He's still wearing the same outfit he wore in season 2.
Naomi's hair is MUCH more messy now, her eyes are empty, her dark circles got worse, she's overall looking more disheveled, we love to see it. At least she still has a smile on her face.
Kei's design has changed a lot. That's what a 100% innocent verdict does to you. His hair is much longer now, and I honestly couldn't decide if he would have it tied in a ponytail or let it down while I was drawing his design, but now I think he would most likely have a ponytail, just a very messy and fluffy one. He's no longer wearing his sunglasses! Yes, he got new ones from Reina, but he decided he doesn't need them anymore. Character development, I guess?.. He got a new eyepatch as well, a much cuter one. He still kept the mask from season 2 and you can interpret it in any way you like, like maybe he simply thought it was cool or maybe he's still insecure about his appearance. He got a completely new outfit and even his prison uniform has changed and it now doesn't have sleeves.
EIKO'S DESIGN IS MY FAVORITE ONE SHE'S SERVING AND NOT ONLY A SENTENCE. She got a haircut, she got the guilty prisoner's empty eyes and dark circles, she got new earrings as well (and they look a lot like Milgram's logo..). Her uniform looks a bit torn and Shun gave her the jacket he used to wear in season 1 so that she can feel more comfortable. The jacket is a bit too big for her, but she doesn't mind. Her prison uniform also doesn't have sleeves anymore, just like Kei's.
Asahi's hair is also a bit longer now and he went back to his ponytail from season 1. He's actually wearing the same hat the cat plushie from his 2023 birthday art had! He got a different shirt and he's also wearing a cute skirt now. I should draw him wearing skirts more often honestly. He looks more nervous here than on his season 2 art.. I wonder what happened..
OH YURIKA. THE GIRL'S UNIFORM IS TORN, SHE'S MISSING MOST OF HER RESTRAINTS AND THE ONES SHE STILL HAS AREN'T EVEN RESTRAINING HER ANYMORE, SHE HAS LIKE THE HALF OF HER PRISON UNIFORM'S SKIRT MISSING AND WORST OF ALL SHE'S STILL WEARING THE SAME OUTFIT SHE WORE IN THE FIRST TWO SEASONS. The worst thing that came out of Yurika getting two guilty verdicts in a row was her never getting a new outfit to wear under her uniform. She also doesn't look that angry anymore, she just looks like she completely lost her mind. She probably did.
Riku's hair is black again and without any highlights. That's what he looks like with only his natural hair color. He's another member of the "my hair got longer! wow!" squad. His uniform looks torn and messy as well and the same goes for the outfit that he's wearing under it and it's the same one that he used to wear in season 2. He's missing some of his accessories and he stopped painting his nails and doing his makeup.
Reina's design is giving me extremely strong nonbinary or transmasc vibes and I feel like Reina isn't 100% cis but she's in a prison and she has another trial to go through so she doesn't have the time for that rn. She got a new hairstyle and her pupils are completely black now. Oh girl, what is going on inside your head.. She's also wearing a different jacket now, this one has a hood. I like to imagine that she misses the feeling of wearing a hat a bit, so she still kinda wants her head to be covered, but she refuses to wear hats because it reminds her of her delinquent era.

everyone's album covers, song previews and album trailer voicelines!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
YESSSSSSSSSSSS I'M FINALLY DONE WITH ALL OF THEM *falls on the floor*
okay okay i'm actually kinda proud of myself?? :'D like i always prefer just. drawing characters even though i don't really avoid drawing backgrounds and i don't find drawing them that difficult but i rarely pay attention to things like. doors so yeah it's kinda cool that i've managed to come up with ten different door designs and draw them! even though most of them don't even look like doors. it's okay listen i just wanted to make them as weird as their mvs okay
(also about some prisoners having the symbols on their uhhh restraints and most of them not having them. well you see i just didn't have any energy left to draw them so i was like "it's fine i'll just draw the actual symbols later" and guess what. i didn't :) and i'm too tired to draw all of them so y-yeah. honestly maybe i'll change the symbols to something else like it takes way too much time to draw them and they're not even that close to the canon ones)
okay sorry for rambling, you can read everyone's song previews, titles (though you can see them on the covers, but still. or maybe you can't see them i'm sorry if the text is hard to read 😭) and album trailer voicelines under the cut! and also more of my rambling
Album trailer voicelines:
Akio: "DON'T COME ANY CLOSER!"
Aimi: "Don't you think that's kind of.. unprofessional?"
Shun: "I-Isn't it a good thing that I'm getting better?"
Naomi: "But in the end, I've simply decided to agree with you."
Kei: "It's time for your punishment, Eiji~"
Eiko: "It's like.. your life finally has a purpose."
Asahi: "I wanna go home, even if I don't have one anymore."
Yurika: "THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY FUCKING SENSE!"
Riku: "Haha, trust me, I'm strong enough to do that."
Reina: "So, yeah, the show's over."
Song titles:
Akio: The King's Execution
Aimi: Mask of Kindness
Shun: Wrong Route
Naomi: Your Story
Kei: Web of Desire
Eiko: As Seen On TV
Asahi: 'Cause I Deserve It
Yurika: Bitter Aftertaste
Riku: Trendsetter
Reina: Death of the Author
Song previews:
Akio: "Come on, fight me, punch me, beat me to death,
Show me how you've really felt about me all this time
There's no one left to support me, no one left to call me "Your Majesty"
I guess it's time for me to admit my defeat" 
Aimi:
"Let's have as much fun as we can today, like this is the last day of our lives
I won't ask you to be careful, I know you won't listen to me anyway
Let's make these moments more colorful than ever before
Let's turn today into our best masterpiece"
Shun:
"I know that this is the best option, I don't even need a guide
"Real life"? What's that? Some kind of joke?
I know you will love me in every world and universe
Tell me I'm your everything, let me get the best ending"
Naomi:
"I can't believe I found out about this only now
Why didn't you tell me sooner? Why didn't anyone else tell me about this?
Your life was so short, but so full of pain
Does this mean that I've saved you from all that suffering?"
Kei:
"Congrats, you've fallen right into my trap
Make yourself comfortable, you're in for a long ride
Tying you up, choking and biting
Keep your eyes on me, take those rose-colored glasses off"
Eiko:
"Yay, she did it, good for her! What an icon, am I right?
Haha, thank you, thank you! Serves him right, I know
You've forgiven me, darling, so let me thank you properly
Tell me what you want, I will give you everything and more"
Asahi:
"Give me more, you know that it'll never be enough for me
You want me to repay you? That's funny
Why should you give me so much and get nothing in return?
It's obvious, 'cause I deserve it"
Yurika:
"Please, please, make my world sweet again
This world is so cold, so bitter, if I take a bite, I'll get poisoned for sure
Hey, hey, what are you saying? You want more sugar as well?
Sure, anything for my master! But you're not her, so get out."
Riku:
"Now, listen, I don't like to do this
I'm not the type to abuse my power
But looks like it's time for you to get what you deserve
So get him, everyone, I'll pat you on the head later"
Reina:
"What about my crime? What about my sins?
Well, why don't you figure it out yourself?
I'll let you decide, I'll let you write my story
Aren't you the one who's supposed to judge us anyway?"
Random facts about everyone's song titles, lyrics and doors (spoiler-free. mostly):
The silhouettes from Akio's T1 MV are back!
If you've read Aimi's T1 MV description, you probably already went "Wait, is her song title a reference to that mask from her video?" and you are correct!
Shun's song title is kinda supposed to be a pun? Basically it's a reference to dating sims, character routes and all that stuff, but it's also supposed to mean taking a wrong path in life or something like that.
Naomi's song title was the hardest one to come up with and it turned out to be the most boring one. I am so sorry.
I actually wouldn't say that Asahi's door shows his MV that well, since his video will actually have mostly white and green colors, but I thought that a door like that would look boring, so yeah, I made it more colorful!
"Why is Yurika's door like that?" Oh, don't worry, compared to Asahi's door, Yurika's door shows her MV perfectly fine <3
Riku's door. Riku's door made me go through so much pain, IT WAS THE LAST DOOR I CAME UP WITH. I LITERALLY HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO DRAW. Not even because I dislike his MV, it's just that his MV has this motif that's. Very hard to show as a door. Like all ideas I had just sounded stupid so I decided to go with something like this instead. Also I still hate drawing chains and I used a brush instead.
Yes, Naomi's door just. Looks like a diary. BUT I TRIED TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A DOOR OKAY I TRIED
Reina's door having a more "actor-like" motif probably doesn't make much sense because of the song title, but trust me, it does. And yes, her song title is based on the trope of the same name.
Aimi's song lyrics kinda sound like a sequel to her T1 song though i guess her t2 song can be called that here, but the rest of the lyrics sound more different. And yes, there will be more of their song lyrics in the MV descriptions this time >:)
Kei's song lyrics are actually supposed to be much more sad this time and even the chorus will sound differently in the end.
Reina, please, stop breaking the fourth wall, you're becoming way too powerful.

all bday illustrations! i feel like something changed in my art style but it's probably just the lineart (+ shading and lighting)
#don't you think it's wild how riku was still 17 when he was first introduced and now he's gonna be 19 this year.#like it's crazy man aimi just turned 17 and akio is still 17 as well DUDE STOP GETTING OLDER!!!#and asahi is gonna be 13.. omg...#fun fact about how time works in linagram: idk how it works in canongram but here the prisoners actually do get older#but i also see it like this: to them it feels like literal months or even years have passed. they're getting older. they're celebrating-#their bdays or other holidays. but when it comes to the outside world its probably been like three days or more. like maybe a week#so when or if they manage to come back i think their bodies will go back to their pre-milgram age. sort of like they went to an alternate-#reality in some way??#if you're wondering the only reason why i decided it won't be as long in the outside world is not bc of their families or friends#SOME OF THEM HAVE PETS. AND THEIR PETS LOVE THEM A LOT. NAOMI LIVES ALONE WITH HER CAT AND THERE'S NO ONE WHO CAN TAKE CARE OF HER#(maybe some family members but do we trust naomi's family. especially her mother)#casually dropping some lore in the tags and leaving byeeeee#👑prisoner 001: miyagawa akio👑#🌸prisoner 002: hanasaki aimi🌸#💔prisoner 003: ishizu shun 💔#🌿prisoner 004: chiba naomi🌿#🍓prisoner 005: sanada kei 🍓#💎prisoner 006: yoshioka eiko💎#🍬prisoner 007: yano asahi 🍬#🎀prisoner 008: maruyama yurika 🎀#🎸prisoner 009: kuroki riku 🎸#🎭prisoner 010: himura reina🎭

mini-interrogation time! [ valentine's day special ]
to celebrate valentine's day, the guards have asked linagram prisoners one simple question related to this holiday!
"How do you feel about Valentine's Day?"
(all these answers take place after the second trial)
Akio: "My parents celebrate it. I don't really care about it personally. Receiving a gift from him would be nice."
Aimi: "I like the aesthetic and the meaning of it, but I don't have anyone to celebrate it with.."
Prisoner 003, Shun, wasn't able to answer the question. The paper he was supposed to use has also been eaten by him.
Naomi: "How am I supposed to feel about it? Am I supposed to feel anything at all? Please tell me."
Kei: "I like it! But I don't really celebrate it. I remember receiving chocolates once back when I was in school, but I don't remember who made them and how I reacted.."
Eiko: "TAKERU TAKERU TAKERU TAKERU TAKERU TAKERU TAKERU Do you know when Eiji-kun is going to come back? I have prepared a gift for him.."
Asahi: "I only care about the chocolates. I'm too young for all the romance stuff anyway."
Yurika: "I used to dislike it, but now I get to spend it with Takame-san. So I like it."
Riku: "I always was very popular in school, so obviously I get a lot of gifts and chocolates every year. I usually give the ones I don't like to Yue, but I guess that's not possible anymore."
Reina: "I forgot that it was a thing. I guess this tells you everything you need to know."

me when naomi is a mentally ill woman in need of therapy who also was physically and emotionally abused and ended up obsessed with the idea of becoming a "perfect adult" and never got a happy childhood and she genuinely wants to help kids and she loves her students and cares about them but she's also jealous of kids who have nice families and overall has this irrational hatred when it comes to some children and she tried to be a mother figure for her students but also if any of them did something wrong and accidentally ended up triggering her they could've easily become her victim instead of tao and she's one of the prisoners who can't be changed and who will still kill people. but she also has a cat and she loves her cat more than her family members

To each of the prisoners: Define love.
To each of the guards: Define justice.
OH THIS ONE IS INTERESTING...
Akio: Do I have to answer this.. Why would you ask me that anyway? Is this because of the answer I gave during my second interrogation?.. Fine. I think love is.. Always staying by your lover's side. Never leaving them. Never betraying them. Always being honest with them. Being so loyal to them, you could die for them. Um.. Haha, so he never did any of those things..
Aimi: Hmm, I've never had a significant other, so it's hard to say, haha.. Well, I think love is when you two feel safe around each other! It's when you can trust your partner with anything and know that they won't break their promise and they won't leave you no matter what you do. And no matter what, they will never judge you. Ah, I think you can say the same about platonic and familial love too!
Shun: U-um.. Let's see.. Well, it's obviously going on dates and.. Uh.. Doing all the romantic stuff, y-you know?.. D-do I have to tell you all the details?.. Y-you're looking at me like I don't know anything about romance. And I do know about it, please believe me! I mean, I did have a girlfriend.. A-anyway, love is something that I will never be complete without. I need to be loved. It's like.. If I'm loved, it means someone in this world appreciates me, right? They would probably be sad if something happened to me..
Naomi: Um.. I never was that interested in romance, so I can't really- Hm? It doesn't have to be romantic? I see.. Well, I can't even tell you that much about platonic love.. I'm sorry, I'm really boring when it comes to that, haha. But if I had to think about it more.. Maybe it's when others don't expect anything from you? You can be anything you want to be and you're still wanted and appreciated.. It sounds nice when I think about it, actually.
Kei: Heyyyy, didn't you say that someone like me can't know anything about love? Haha, well, as I've said before, I believe that pain and love can't be separated. Why? The thing is, if someone puts you through so much pain every single day, but you still choose to stay with them and don't even think about leaving them.. Yeah, that's love to me. And if you truly love someone, you'll be okay with them hurting you in some way. That's what Mom used to say. And I love her. You love her too, Eiji. You've never even tried to run away, after all.
Eiko: You're probably not gonna believe me, but I actually wasn't interested in love at all until I.. well, met that guy. I thought it was just a stupid waste of time, just like friendship and all that stuff. But hey, of course I felt lonely. My relationships never had any meaning, the only somewhat deep relationship I have is the one with my dad. So, if you were to ask me about love.. I think love is when your relationship with someone has some kind of meaning. Maybe it makes you happy. Maybe it wants you to keep living. Maybe it makes you feel like you have some kind of purpose. You just know that if something happened to that person, you would feel like your life has become incomplete. That's love to me.
Asahi: E-eh?.. I know that I'm more mature than other kids, but like.. Ugh, fine. So, uh, I think love is when someone gives you everything you could ever want from them. N-no, I'm not just talking about food and toys and that stuff! Though that's also important, of course.. But like.. I-if you asked them for a hug, they'd be okay with it.. And if you asked them to spend time with you, they'd still agree even if they're busy.. A-anyway, I know I'll be popular when I grow up, but right now I don't care about all that. I just wanna have fun and I don't want to think about anything.. Uh, "serious".
Yurika: Your question is simple, so my answer will be the same. It's what I felt for my boss. S-she wasn't just a manager to me. She actually gave me a reason to live. She showed me that I still have worth even if I'm not that smart, not that hardworking and not that productive. She's not like my parents at all and those guys are rich, but still wanted me to work! H-huh?.. "Did you see your manager as your lover or your mother figure?".. Uh.. B-both?
Riku: Let me think.. Well, there's many different types of love, you know? I don't really know which one you want me to talk about.. Oh, so like, love in general? Um.. For some reason, it's still hard for me to think of an answer.. Maybe something like, even if you get sad or angry sometimes, they still understand you and still willing to listen to you? Like, they won't go "Come on, cheer up already!" Oh, also they respect your privacy and personal space, that one's important. Even if I love them, I don't want them to call me at 3 am and start telling me the tragic story of how their cat died when they were eight, thank you very much.. Y-yeah, that did happen to me once.
Reina: I don't know much about it, so I'm afraid my answer won't be that interesting. But maybe.. it's when someone still wants to be with you even if they've seen your worst qualities? No, I don't mean any of that "But I still find them beautiful" kind of stuff. That's actually kinda concerning. It's like, they won't leave you if they see you fighting with someone and yelling at them, but they also won't tell you that you were in the right for acting like that, if you really were in the wrong.
Eiji: It's when all sinners get what they deserve. They get the punishments that fit their sins and they have no choice but to accept it, meanwhile the innocent ones get to finally live a peaceful life. And before you ask me, no, nobody in this prison is innocent except me and Guard 002.
Miki: I'm not really as passionate about it as Eiji-san, but.. I think it's when people who did something bad without any reason and don't feel any remorse get.. I-I don't want to say "punished", but.. Basically, they're not able to do anything to the innocent people anymore. I want to believe that everyone in this prison is innocent and everyone had their own reasons and if it wasn't for those reasons, they would never kill anyone.. But I'm not so sure anymore. So if someone in this prison really is guilty.. I guess I'll have to make sure they don't hurt the innocent.
Hiyuu: I think it's when all people are treated as equals. Even if someone is guilty, I won't treat them like a villain. I will punish them, because that's my job as a guard, but it doesn't mean I genuinely want their life to get worse and it doesn't mean I want them to die. I just want them to see what will happen if they continue to act this way. Pain is the worst thing that could ever happen to anyone, so I believe that even if that someone really did something bad, they should be treated with respect if they're in pain. So you can trust me, my punishments won't be that bad, haha.

naomi's vd is here!! i can't wait to see what her verdict is gonna be this time. i've recently finished working on her t3 mv concept and it's actually my favorite one rn, so.. hehe >:3
Warnings for Naomi's VD: None
Warnings for Naomi's MV: None, except a child dies, but the description isn't that detailed.
(sounds of footsteps)
Miki: .. Eiji-san?
Eiji: What?
Miki: U-uh..
Miki: I just thought you wanted to talk about..
Miki: Well, what happened earlier.
Eiji: W-what do you want me to say?? 
Eiji: Yes, I know how weird it is. Yes, I know that Shun wasn't supposed to be able to touch me. 
Eiji: I.. I don't understand how this happened either.
Eiji: We're literally the guards of this prison. Aren't we supposed to always be protected? Aren't we supposed to be safe?
Eiji: W-what did go wrong?.. 
Eiji: Does this mean that the prisoners can easily hurt us anytime they want?..
Miki: If Ishizu-san was able to touch you..
Miki: Does that mean that I'm also-
Eiji: NO!
Eiji: Uh.. I mean..
Eiji: I-I will protect you if anything goes wrong. Trust me.
Miki: ...
Miki: T-thank you, Eiji-san..
Miki: A-and I will protect you too, of course!
Eiji: You already did, actually.
Miki: And I'll do it again if I have to!
Eiji: .. Heh, fine.
Eiji: But still..
Eiji: "Just why was Shun able to touch me? I swear there's always been something protecting us."
Eiji: "I don't remember Akio and Aimi being able to touch us either.. though I don't think they had even tried to do that."
Eiji: "And if it turns out that the other prisoners are also capable of that-"
Eiji: !
Miki: Eiji-san, are you okay??
Eiji: Y-yeah, sorry. 
Eiji: We have to focus on interrogating the fourth prisoner. I doubt that she will try to hurt us. 
Eiji: ".. But Kei will."
Eiji: "I-it's okay, I don't think he's strong enough to do that right now."
(the door opens)
Naomi: Ah, hello, Eiji-san and Miki-san.
Miki: H-hello..
Eiji: Let's just get started already.
Naomi: Is everything okay, Eiji-san? You seem kind of.. nervous.
Eiji: I'm fine. 
Miki: Ah, Chiba-san..
Miki: Can you help me with something, please?
Naomi: Huh? Sure.. But what do I have to do exactly?
Miki: C-can you hold my hand?..
Miki: I know this sounds weird, but I just.. have to see something.
Naomi: But aren't the prisoners-
Naomi: .. Okay then.
Naomi: ...
Naomi: You remember that it's impossible for us to touch you, right?
Eiji: ".. So Naomi still can't touch us."
Eiji: "Then why-"
Eiji: ".. Wait a minute. What if it's not about who can touch us, but which one of us is more vulnerable?"
Eiji: "And if Naomi still can't touch Miki-"
Naomi: Y-you see, I actually have a question for you two.
Naomi: Sorry, I know you're supposed to interrogate me and I will answer all of your questions, but also..
Naomi: Can you tell me what this is?
Eiji and Miki: !
Naomi: We all got these papers yesterday and..
Naomi: I'm sorry, but what's the meaning of being interrogated again if we have already answered your questions?
Miki: W-what does it say?
Eiji:"Prisoner 004, Chiba Naomi, please answer the questions below. You can write as much or as little as you wish."
Eiji: "Question 01: Do you know why you're here?"
Eiji: "Question 02: Have you committed any other crimes except murder?"
Eiji: And there's just more questions.
Naomi: .. So you two also don't know what all of this means.
Naomi: Well that's weird.
Eiji: You got these yesterday, right? Why do you still have them? Akio, Aimi and Shun haven't mentioned anything like that.
Naomi: I got confused and decided to keep them until I get all the answers. If I'm not wrong, when everyone woke up, they couldn't find their papers anywhere, but I still had mine for some reason. 
Naomi: I find it surprising myself. I haven't even tried to hide them..
Naomi: I also haven't answered any of the questions as you can see.
Miki: But who would try and-
Eiji: .. Who else would need to interrogate the prisoners except the prison guards?
Eiji: "Me and Miki didn't do it, so that means.."
Eiji: ".. Another guard did it."
Eiji: ".. Of course. If they're hiding somewhere, but still have to do their job, it means that they have to interrogate everyone in some other way."
Eiji: "But seriously, making the prisoners fill out this questionnaire sounds kind of naive.."
Eiji: "Like, did that guard really expect everyone to tell them about their crimes like that?"
Eiji: "Hold on, it has something on the back-"
Eiji: "If you don't answer all of the questions, you will be punished."
Eiji: ".. Never mind, maybe that guard is smart."
Eiji: Wait, Naomi. 
Eiji: You haven't answered the questions, right? Do you know what that means-
Naomi: Yes, I know, Eiji-san. I've seen it.
Naomi: Well, if it really was done by a different guard.. I'll just let them do what they want.
Naomi: Just like I had let you vote me innocent even though I wanted you to vote me guilty.
Eiji: ...
Naomi: So if that was a different guard interrogating us.. 
Naomi: I guess it's time for me to be interrogated by you two, right?
Naomi: I promise I will cooperate.
Eiji: .. R-right.
Miki: So, Chiba-san, how are you feeling? Is everything okay?
Naomi: I feel.. weird.
Naomi: I mean, I was forgiven even though I had asked you to vote me guilty..
Naomi: I honestly didn't know how to feel after you had told me about my verdict.
Naomi: But in the end, I've simply decided to agree with you. 
Eiji: .. Why?
Eiji: I expected more resistance.
Naomi: *laughs* "Resistance"? What did you expect from me?
Naomi: Did you expect me to argue with you? Did you expect me to say there must be something wrong with your judgement and morals?
Naomi: I'm not like that at all.
Naomi: .. It's easier for me to just nod and agree with everything.
Naomi: It's always been like that, haha..
Miki: I-I can relate-
Eiji: Even though you're the oldest prisoner, it's easier for you to just follow orders, huh?
Eiji: Well that's lame.
Naomi: ...
Naomi: Hey, Eiji-san.
Naomi: Aren't you doing the exact same thing?
Eiji: W-what do you mean by that?..
Naomi: I don't think you're doing all of this out of your own free will.
Naomi: You're just following someone's orders, aren't you?
Naomi: But I can tell that you like to think that you're the one who has all the power here, haha.
Naomi: So, Eiji-san..
Naomi: Maybe stop acting just like he did, okay?
Miki: "He"..
Miki: Y-you mean your victim, right?..
Naomi: ...
Naomi: Oh well, looks like it's time to talk about that.
Naomi: Yes, I was talking about my victim.
Eiji: If I'm acting just like he did..
Eiji: .. Did he also call you out for being so weak-willed?
Naomi: This is not me being weak-willed.
Naomi: I'm just trying to survive, just like everybody else here.
Naomi: If you think me agreeing with your decision is a bad sign..
Naomi: Maybe you simply shouldn't have voted me innocent then.
Naomi: Actually, why did you even agree to vote me innocent? Didn't you promise that you will vote me guilty?
Naomi: .. Were you following someone's orders?
Eiji: Y-you!..
Naomi: What's wrong? Are you regretting your decision?
Miki: Chiba-san! Please stop provoking him!
Naomi: I'm not. I'm afraid Eiji-san simply gets angry a bit too easily.
Naomi: But anyway..
Naomi: What questions do you have for me?
Miki: .. S-so, y-your victim was a child, right?
Naomi:*nods* Exactly. He was 10 years old.
Naomi: And he was one of my students.
Eiji: Your victim was your own student..
Naomi: Before you say anything else, Eiji-san, I want to remind you that me being voted innocent was your doing too.
Naomi: And I'm sure you already knew that my victim was my own student. 
Naomi: I mean, I'm an elementary school teacher and I keep saying things like "Oh, kids can be so cruel".. 
Naomi: I don't have any kids and my younger sister is 27, so..
Naomi: It's obvious that if my victim was a child, it means they were one of my students.
Miki: .. But why? 
Miki: Why did you kill your own student? 
Miki: I thought you're good with kids and-
Naomi: Everyone thought so, Miki-san. 
Naomi: I thought so too. 
Naomi: But that kid.. 
Naomi: He was too much for me to handle.
Naomi: I can't blame him though, considering what his family was like. 
Eiji: But did you seriously kill him just because he thought you saying yes to everyone was pathetic? 
Naomi: I knew that if I won't shut him up, I will have to continue saying yes to everyone until the end of my life. 
Eiji: Oh, so killing a child sounded like a fun way to rebel? 
Naomi: Just so you know, Eiji-san, when I heard him say those words, I felt exactly like you did after I said that you're just following someone's orders. 
Eiji: BUT THEN WHAT'S THE POINT OF KILLING A CHILD TO FEEL MORE "POWERFUL" AND THEN JUST AGREEING WITH OUR JUDGEMENT EVEN THOUGH YOU WANTED A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT VERDICT?! 
Naomi: ... 
Eiji: .. If you want to fight for your independence, then you should just keep fighting no matter what. 
Eiji: You can't just do one thing and say that it's enough. You will never become truly free if you do that. 
(the bell rings, machinery sounds)
Naomi: But Eiji-san.. 
Naomi: Does this mean that being a prison guard is your own way of fighting for your independence? 
Eiji: ... 
Eiji: We're the ones who are supposed to be asking you questions, not the other way around. 
Miki: Um, Chiba-san.. 
Miki: .. Do you think you will be okay with your verdict this time too? 
Naomi: I will accept your judgement no matter what. 
Naomi: You two are the guards, after all.
Eiji: .. Even if that kid was an annoying brat, he didn't deserve to be killed just so that you could feel a bit stronger than usual and then let us do whatever we want with you. 
Eiji: Is it really you just being weak-willed or is it you being so happy that you got voted innocent that you don't want to change our mind? 
Naomi: I'm-
Eiji: Well, whatever it is.. 
Eiji: Prisoner 004, Naomi, sing your sins!

[ MV Description ]
Her MV would have mostly black, white, gray and darker shades of teal in the beginning, but it would have more red closer to the end. 
Naomi is sitting in what appears to be a living room. There are two dark figures sitting on the couch in front of her and it looks like they're talking to her about something. Naomi is listening and nodding, but she also looks kind of anxious and she refuses to look them in the eyes.
"Here you are, telling me that old story again
The story that I already know
Or at least I think that I know"
Suddenly one of the figures stands up and tells Naomi to follow them somewhere. Naomi does exactly that and it looks like that figure wants to show her someone's room. Naomi realizes that it's actually a child's room and looks terrified. 
"No, no, I don't need to see it
I already know that I'm "Guilty"
So why are you still trying to make me feel sorry?"
The figure gives her that child's diary and lets her read it before leaving the room. Naomi continues reading the diary and she starts crying.
"I can't believe I found out about this only now
Why didn't you tell me sooner? Why didn't anyone else tell me about this?
You've experienced so much pain, even though your life was so short
Does this mean that I've saved you from all that suffering?"
The setting changes and now Naomi is walking along some kind of dark hallway full of doors with dates written on them. She sees a certain date, gets nervous, but still opens that door. 
It looks like she's inside of one of that child's memories now. She sees herself sitting and drinking tea with her students, meanwhile one of the kids, a little boy with orange hair and red eyes, sits alone and nobody wants to talk to him. The "Present!Naomi" puts her hand on his shoulder, but the kid doesn't react. 
"I tried to help you, I really did
I saw myself in you, I knew you were struggling
But you still pushed me away
So don't blame me for being a little bit angry"
The setting changes again and now it looks like Naomi is at someone's funeral. She's crying and the two figures from one of the past scenes try to comfort her. Some time passes and now Naomi is visiting that person's grave and even though she looks genuinely sad at first, everything around her starts becoming more red. 
"I know I'm "Guilty", I know I am
But everyone around me keeps saying I'm "Innocent"
Who should I believe? Hey, if you still can hear me
Tell me, would you still laugh at me for being so foolish?"
The grave gets replaced by a door with a different date being written on it and Naomi opens it. It's a different memory now and it scares her even more. Naomi sees herself crying and it looks like someone has slapped her. She also sees her students watching her while hiding and they all look like they feel sorry for her, except the orange-haired boy from before. 
"Come on, at least pretend that you feel bad for me
Or actually, maybe I don't deserve your pity
Is this your revenge? Or are you just that cruel?
Aren't you too small to have so much evil in your body?"
She takes a step back and suddenly falls back into the memory from before, but now Past!Naomi is drinking tea with everyone and the orange-haired boy stands up, points at her and starts laughing at her. Other students ignore him and some of them hug Naomi and try to cheer her up. When the boy realizes that no one is agreeing with him, he walks away and tries not to look defeated. Naomi asks the children to leave her alone for a second and she walks up to him and puts her hand on his shoulder again. The boy looks surprised and his eyes light up for a moment, but Naomi's eyes become red. She keeps smiling and she even hugs him, but it's obvious that the boy is already in her trap. 
"I know I was your favorite, don't try to hide it anymore
"I just wanted more attention"? Well, here it is, try not to drown in it"
Suddenly, the setting changes again and everything starts becoming more and more red. The world around them looks like it's on fire. When the boy opens his eyes and looks around, he sees that Naomi has changed as well. She doesn't look like herself anymore. It looks like she has just turned into a devil. Naomi's hug becomes even more tight and she keeps holding the boy in her arms as he slowly turns into ashes. 
"Let's admit it, both of us deserve to rot in Hell
And I refuse to be punished without you next to me"
When he's finally gone, Naomi's eye color turns back to normal and she's back to her human form. She sees that the boy is no longer with her and just keeps staring at what is left from him with an emotionless expression. She stands up and turns away from it. The video ends.

OK with the last ask I sent, I kinda had a few hcs I want to share!
-They had to shoot Keis vd like 20 times because Eiji and Kei make each other laugh so easily.
-Asahi only joined because they let him say the fuck word
-Reina is the straight man of the group (the one who puts up with everyone else's bs)
-For one of the Anni pictures, it was all the prisoners in guard outfits
-They held a group fanfic reading once. Everyone except Kei, 06(I forgot her name) and Yurika hated it. The aforementioned 3 were laughing at everyone else's reactions
I am so normal about your ocs I promise :)
THESE HCS ARE SO CUTE AND ALSO
Tumblr media
do you think if all of them were guards it would take one day for milgram to just. explode (the answer is yes)

𝚗𝚊𝚘𝚖𝚒'𝚜 𝚝𝚛𝚒𝚊𝚕 𝟸 𝚛𝚎𝚜𝚞𝚕𝚝𝚜!
Tumblr media
Prisoner 004, Chiba Naomi, is officially voted..
??? (50%)
The guards will need more time to make their decision. Please be patient.
Tumblr media
we did it guys. the first 50/50 result in history of linagram. we did it.
WHY AM I NOT SURPRISED THAT IT'S NAOMI THOUGH. like i had a feeling that if someone's gonna get a 50/50, it will either be aimi or naomi or riku 😭
so, what will we do now? what will happen to naomi? well, just going with her canon verdict would probably be the logical decision, but.. that's not how we do things here <3 after all, the third guard is here exactly because there's a chance that eiji and miki won't be able to make a decision.
so now, naomi's fate will depend only on his verdict. the same will happen to other prisoners who get a 50/50 result.
let's just hope this guard isn't as cruel as eiji..

[ meet the prisoners! (t2 edition) ] prisoner 004: chiba naomi
Tumblr media
this woman. she caused me so much suffering. basically, when i first finished working on her t2 design, i. uh. i noticed that i made a mistake only like a day after i was done.
her arms were too short JDJKSKSDLKSLK.
so i kept procrastinating and telling myself that i will fix it later and when i actually tried to do it, IT WAS SO PAINFUL BECAUSE IT ALREADY HAD ALL THE COLORS AND SHADING AND ALL OF THAT. i still managed to fix it though, but if the lineart looks weird, that's why! her arms still look wrong to me, but trust me, they looked worse.
but anyway, i still love naomi's character a lot even if her crime isn't that mysterious or difficult to solve <3
General info.
T1 Verdict: Naomi was voted innocent and she did not expect that. She genuinely thought that she will be voted guilty, she really thought that Eiji is that person who will understand how bad her crime actually was.. Like, she even kind of told them about how young her victim was before her video got extracted, why would those two forgive her? Haha, so they're not that different from those other people.. Naomi was shocked at first, but at the same time she got used to hearing that what happened wasn't her fault, so.. Eh, maybe she should just agree with the guards. She's tired of trying to prove that she's guilty, she had tried to do it so many times before she even arrived here, so what's the point? People will still forgive her for some reason. Maybe she's just that sympathetic or it's so easy to understand her, she's not sure. So for now, she will just embrace it and go with the flow.
T2 Personality: Naomi certainly did change and she's not even trying to ask for a guilty verdict anymore. She's more calm and relaxed now, but it's not because she was forgiven, it's simply because she decided to accept everyone forgiving her. She's tired of trying to make everyone believe that she's this dangerous murderer, so if others think her crime wasn't that bad even though her victim was so young, fine, she'll just nod and agree. Naomi is also more honest about her feelings now and even though she still gets along with most younger prisoners, she's more open about disliking Asahi and says that no matter how hard this boy is trying to make others think that he's changed, he still deserves to be punished. The fact that he's the youngest prisoner here is scary to her not because "Oh no, what a child like him is doing here?", but because this child must have done something truly awful to end up here.
T2 Relationship dynamics:
She gets along with both Akio and Aimi and she's happy to see that they've become friends. Of course, she didn't want Akio to get injured, so she helps Aimi with taking care of him sometimes. If they need something, she will ask the guards for it as usual and she understands that because of Akio being voted guilty, now he really needs someone to request things for him.
Her relationship with Riku, another prisoner who's one of the younger ones, is a bit more complicated, because she really does want to help him and she has experience with helping kids who have mental health problems (even though they were much younger than Riku), but she also has a feeling that Riku doesn't want to get help. Maybe he thinks he's fine or that he doesn't deserve to be taken care of. If that's the case, she can understand him. Actually, she would love to know more about him. Who knows, maybe their family situations are actually more similar than they both thought.
Her relationship with Asahi is much worse now and uh, Asahi, if you thought she's gonna be your new mother figure, you were wrong. She doesn't hesitate to stop Asahi if she sees or hears him making fun of someone again and if he says something rude, she will tell him to shut up. She's had enough of his behavior and she actually thinks that Asahi trying to act more nice and polite makes him more suspicious. Like, why is this 12-year old (the prisoners' birthdays are canon here, so yes, he's actually 12 years old now) trying to manipulate all prisoners and even the guards? Who does he think he is?.. Oh well, it probably would be easy for a cute child to make others feel sorry for him. That's also probably why he was forgiven anyway.
Music info.
Milgram cover: Oh, this one will probably be sudden. So, uh, she actually gets It's Not My Fault this time <3 The image of this tired 30-year old woman singing INMF looks so funny in my head, but before you go "OHHHH so she really thinks she's innocent, huh?", well, not exactly! At the same time it can be her showing that even though she thinks she deserves to be punished for her crime, she also thinks her victim still deserved to die (actually, i think Naomi is one of those prisoners who would kill again if they ever got out of Milgram because her repressed anger is that bad), but mostly.. I think her singing INMF is actually more like her kind of making fun of people who forgave her. Yes, this can be seen as both her breaking the fourth wall and calling people out in-universe. Like, oh, okay, she gets it. She's just this poor tired woman who killed an annoying child who was hated by everyone around him, both kids and adults. It's fine, she understands. She's so pitiable, isn't she?
DECO*27 cover: Kimi ga Kirai da (Now, I know that this song is about a romantic relationship, but I really wanted her to sing something sad and also show how much hatred and anger she has inside. This woman is so, so tired of everything..)
Different Vocaloid producer cover: Regret Message by mothy/Akuno-P (second Akuno-P song in a row LET'S GO!! Again, I just wanted her to sing something sad, but also her feelings are so complicated, like yes, she thinks her victim deserved to die, no one even cried when they found out about his death, but also.. Maybe she does regret it. Of course she does, she wouldn't ask for a guilty verdict if she didn't. She doesn't know how to feel about her crime, honestly. Maybe the guards can help?)
Her T2 Trailer Voicelines:
"Ah, Eiji-san and Miki-san. Glad to see you. I hope you two are taking good care of yourselves. So.. The second trial, huh? I feel like this time everything is going to be even more difficult for you.. Don't push yourself too hard, okay?.. How do I feel about my verdict?.. Well.. I've decided that I won't argue with you about it. It is your decision after all and who am I to try and tell the guards that they are wrong?"
*crying* "I.. I don't understand.. I don't understand anything.. A-am I supposed to feel sorry for him now?.."
Her T2 Song Trailer Voiceline:
"What's wrong? Are you regretting your decision?"
Trivia:
Her letting her hair down can be seen as her trying to act more honest and more true to herself. No more holding back now.. At least she sees it as being more honest, though I can't say she's right. I actually feel like her agreeing with everything the guards do sounds like her running away from reality.
She feels more comfortable in her new outfit now because the old one reminded her of her crime way too much. (She also was wearing the same clothes both when she committed her crime and when she was brought here)
She doesn't really care about being voted innocent or guilty anymore. She's okay with the guards doing whatever they want. It's not like her opinion matters here anyway.
A dark shade of red was chosen as her second image color because of how her T2 MV ends (or where it ends, to be more specific) and because I thought it fits her nicely: her first image color is much calmer compared to the second one, it's like the first color is how other people see her (and how she wants them to see her), but the second color is her real, more violent and aggressive side.

[ 𝚋𝚎𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚍 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚜𝚒𝚗 𝚟𝚘𝚒𝚌𝚎 𝚍𝚛𝚊𝚖𝚊𝚜: 𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚝 𝟷 ]
Tumblr media
(i hope the image isn't too eystrain-y AAAAAAAAA)
wooooooo i'm finally done with these
okay basically these voice dramas are about what happened to the prisoners three days before their crimes and they're supposed to reveal more about their life, what kind of people they are and all of that stuff. they will be separated into two parts bc the voice dramas are pretty short, so this part includes akio, aimi, shun, naomi and kei and the next one will include eiko, asahi, yurika, riku and reina.
warnings: a mention of bullying and an implication of a child being seriously injured in aimi's vd, shun is being a stalker, a description of physical and emotional abuse in naomi's vd, mentions of torture and homophobia in kei's vd (there's also some implications of the latter in akio's vd, but like, if you squint really hard)
[ Akio's Confession ]
(the sound of a school bell ringing)
(the voices of other students can be heard in the background)
Akio: *sighs*
Akio: *thinking* "This class was way too easy.. All classes were too easy so far, honestly."
Akio: *thinking* "Though that's just something I have to deal with as a genius that I am, haha.."
Akio: *thinking* "It's just.. I thought that an elite school like this would be more interesting."
Akio:*thinking* "But when I look at my classmates.. Yeah, I can see why the teachers would go easy on them. How did they even get- Oh, right, probably because they're rich and all."
Akio: *thinking* ".. My parents have worked so hard so that I could attend this school and now I'm complaining.."
Akio: Hm...
(sounds of someone's footsteps getting faster and faster)
Arata: Akioooooo!~
Akio: *screams*
Akio: W-what are you-
Arata: Come on, you promised that we'll have lunch together! 
Arata: Come on, get up, get up!
Akio: C-can you-
Akio: *whispering* Can you.. you know.. be quieter? This is embarrassing, everyone is staring at us.
Arata: *whispering* I know, I'm acting like this on purpose.
Akio: Wha-
Arata: Okayyyy, let's go, let's go!~
Akio: I-I haven't even brought anything with me-
Arata: It's okay, as your boyf-
Arata: Uh.. 
Arata: *clears throat* Ahem, as your best friend, I have prepared something very special for you myself!
Arata: Now let's go!
(sounds of footsteps)
Female classmate: These two are.. really close, aren't they?
Akio: I still can't believe that out of all the hobbies you could have, your hobby is.. cooking.
Arata: What, I don't look like a perfect housewife? You're breaking my heart..
Akio: Ugh..
Akio: C-can't you just act.. you know.. normal?
Arata: Nope. Now say "Ahhh~"
Akio: I am not a child-
Akio: !
Arata: See? Tastes good, doesn't it?
Akio: B-but again, everyone is staring at us..
Arata: And? They're just jealous.
Arata: You know, you look so plain, but you've got someone like me as your boyfriend! You're so lucky!
Akio: Plain?..
Arata: U-uh, I find that cute about you.
Arata: Also, you stole the "most popular guy" title from me! You're so cool!
Akio: We both know you weren't popular because of your looks or intelligence or anything.
Arata: Haha, yeah, being the son of the headmaster kinda makes you popular by default..
Arata: But like, not for a good reason.
Akio: You're still creepy though, obviously they would find you intimidating.
Akio: And you also have a lot of power in this place, so..
Arata: Y-you think I'm creepy?!
Akio: Yes.
Arata: So cold!.. But that's what I like about you!
Akio: Also, about me stealing your title and all..
Akio: .. That title also was stolen from me recently.
Arata: Huh? By who?
Arata: .. Oh.
Arata: You're talking about that guy, right?
Akio: *nods*
Arata: Well, he joined us only a few months ago and he also used to be homeschooled. I think it's his first time actually going to school?
Akio: Yeah, because of his health problems.
Arata: Of course a guy like him would get everyone's attention.
Arata: They just feel sorry for him. Don't worry about it too much~
Arata: I mean, have you seen his grades? A guy like him won't survive in this place.
Akio: Should I remind you about your own grades?
Arata: Ahaha.. At least I have you~
Akio: You're not dating me just because I can do your homework for you, right?
Arata: Well, that's one of the reasons why I like you, but..
Akio: I'm breaking up with you.
Arata: No, no, wait!
Arata: Also, Akio, aren't you dating me because I can make you look good in the eyes of the headmaster?
Akio: ...
Arata: He likes you a lot! He said that our school really needed a student like you. 
Akio: ...
Arata: You really are a genius, Akio. I'm sure you'll become famous in the future.
Akio: .. B-but I want to be famous now.
Arata: And you will! I can just make everyone here bow down to you if you want. 
Arata: Both figuratively and literally.
Akio: .. I hate him, Arata. I hate him so much.
Arata: I know. 
Akio: Sometimes I wish I just could-
Akio: ...
Akio: Never mind.
Arata: Hm? What is it?
Akio: I said, never mind!
Arata: Come on, say it, say it!
Akio: Shut up already-
Arata: Say it, Akio.
Akio: ...
Akio: .. Wouldn't it be nice if he just..
Akio: You know..
Akio: .. Died?
Arata: ...
Arata: Haha..
Arata: Ahahahahahahaha!
(sounds of Arata laughing and falling on the ground)
Akio: .. Yeah, I can't just ask you to act normal again, can I?
Arata: S-sorry, sorry.. 
Arata: It's just.. I've been waiting for you to say it.
Akio: Huh?
Arata: I don't know, something about you hating him so much to the point of wanting him dead..
Arata: It's just so exciting, you know?
Akio: .. There must be something wrong with you.
Arata: With you too. That's why we're perfect for each other!
Arata: So, how do you want him to die?
Akio: Arata, for God's sake, can you just not talk about murder while we're having lunch and there are other people around?
Arata: Nope, talking about murder is fun.
Arata: Also, you still have some food left. Open your mouth.
Akio: Why would you find talking-
Arata: Anyway, we should head back to class, the break is going to end soon.
Akio: R-right..
(sounds of footsteps)
???: Ah! Akio-kun, Arata-kun!
Akio: ...
Arata: There he is.
???: I've been looking for you two everywhere! I just thought it'd be nice to have a lunch together, haha..
???: B-but it looks like you two are already going back to class.. I'm so slow, haha..
Akio: .. I thought I told you not to call us that.
???: What?
Akio: We're not your friends. Why did you even think we'll agree to spend even the moment of our precious time with you?
???: U-uh..
Akio: Seriously, this is why you always have no choice but to eat alone. You're so stupid-
Arata: Now, now, calm down, Akio. 
Arata: Please forgive him, he's not in a good mood today.
???: Really? Why? Did something happen, Akio-kun? C-can I help-
Akio: DON'T CALL ME THAT!
???: ...
Arata: ...
Akio: *breathing heavily* We're not.. friends, Kitami.
Akio: I don't even want to hear you say my name. 
Akio: Don't stand in my way. Arata, we're leaving.
Chise: ...
Chise: .. Hey.. 
Chise: That's not very nice of you, Akio-kun..
Chise: You know I've worked really hard on this, right?
Akio: D-do you think I care?
Chise: Judging from the way you stutter, I think you do.
Akio: ...
Akio: (to Arata) W-why are you still standing here?! I told you we're leaving!
(sounds of Akio and Arata leaving)
Arata: The guy looked like he was about to cry. Are you proud of yourself?
Arata: Not judging you, by the way.
Akio: ...
Arata: Hey, are you listening-
Akio: Why?
Akio: Why does he want to be friends with me?
Akio: He just wants to annoy me, doesn't he? He's just jealous of me and he's trying to make me angry on purpose so that I'll end up yelling at him and ruin my reputation because he's everyone's favorite right now?
Akio: Why do people even like him?! He's so pathetic, so weak, so dumb, so..
Arata: Hey, calm down. 
Akio: ...
Arata: You're better than him. Remember that.
Akio: I KNOW THAT, IDIOT! I JUST WANT OTHERS TO REMEMBER THAT TOO!
Arata: Well, I know for a fact that you're better than him. You're better than everyone here~
Arata: .. Hm? What's wrong?
Akio: .. Ahaha..
Akio: He really doesn't know his place, does he?
Akio: So annoying..
Arata: ...
Akio: Hey, can you help me out with something?
Arata: ...
Akio: Come on, I know you like me.
Arata: .. Haha, so now you're accepting the fact that we're a couple.
Akio: Oh, I was just acting shy. 
Arata: So.. Do you want to.. 
Arata: You know.. 
Akio: I just want to teach him a lesson. Nothing more than that. I'm strict, but I'm not evil. 
Arata: ... Oh. 
Arata: Well, our school's lucky to have a king like you.

[ Aimi's Confession ]
(The door opens)
Aimi: I'm back! 
Aimi: ... 
Aimi: Hey? Is anybody here? 
Aimi: ... 
Aimi: "Haha.. It's like I have no choice but to be alone.."
Aimi: "Just what did I do to deserve this-" 
???: Oh, there you are! 
Aimi:"Great. Out of all people, it had to be him."
Aimi: Nii-san!
(sounds of Aimi and her brother hugging)
Aimi's brother: Sorry, I was wearing earphones and didn't hear you.
Aimi's brother: If you're wondering where mom and dad are, they went to check on the park, they've heard it's been doing.. not so good.
Aimi: Really? What happened? 
Aimi's brother: One of the rides suddenly stopped working and two kids fell off. One of them is fine, thankfully, but the other one ended up in the hospital. 
Aimi: Oh.. 
Aimi's brother: Also, Yori is walking Maru and Mochi right now, just so you know. 
Aimi: Oh, right, I got scared for a second, haha.. 
Aimi: By the way, why are you wearing an apron? 
Aimi's brother: Oh, Fumiri wasn't feeling well, so I offered to cook today. 
Aimi: You can cook? 
Aimi's brother: Okay, rude. 
Aimi's brother: You're not gonna eat then?
Aimi: No, I will! I'm okay with whatever Nii-san decides to make~
Aimi's brother: I'm almost done, so you don't have to wait long. Go wash your hands.
Aimi: Oh, right! I forgot, haha.. 
Aimi: I didn't know you were this good at cooking. It's shocking, really. 
Aimi's brother: *laughs* Why are you so mean to me today? Did you have a bad day at school?
Aimi: ...
Aimi's brother: Oh.. 
Aimi's brother: Sorry. Sorry, I didn't mean to-
Aimi: N-no, it's okay, it's okay! It's just..
Aimi: It's.. Um.. 
Aimi: M-my classmates.. 
Aimi's brother: ... 
Aimi's brother: *sighs* What did they do this time?
Aimi: Well, um.. 
Aimi: Haha.. 
Aimi: Emi-chan said that I'm too violent and because of that others tend to avoid me.. 
Aimi: And.. She said she thinks I'm.. 
Aimi: Scary, haha.. 
Aimi's brother: ... 
Aimi: Am I scary, Nii-san? 
Aimi: Am I violent? 
Aimi: I always try to be kind to everyone I meet! I would never want to scare anyone or hurt them! 
Aimi: I'm not violent! I'm really not! 
Aimi's brother: I know. I know. 
Aimi's brother: Why do you think she called you that? 
Aimi: I don't know!
Aimi: I don't want to say that she.. 
Aimi: Uh.. 
Aimi's brother: You don't want to suspect her, right? 
Aimi's brother: You don't want to believe that she had bad intentions, right? 
Aimi: ... 
Aimi: W-why would she? 
Aimi: I mean, she's not evil or anything.. 
Aimi's brother: Well, maybe she's jealous. 
Aimi's brother: Maybe she's jealous of your wealth or your looks. 
Aimi's brother: Maybe she wanted to provoke you and make you act "violent" in public. 
Aimi's brother: You know, like that time with Sao.
Aimi: I-I didn't hit her on purpose, I swear! 
Aimi's brother: Of course, I know that. 
Aimi's brother: But that's just how the world works. If somebody doesn't like you, it doesn't mean that they will be straightforward about it. Maybe they will just try to make it look like it's your fault for making them hate you.
Aimi's brother: It's not their fault for being mean to you. It's your fault for getting angry. That's how their thought process goes.
Aimi: BUT I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG! 
Aimi: I JUST WANTED TO BE FRIENDS WITH THEM! 
Aimi: Would they like me more if I wasn't so rich? Would they like me more if I wasn't so pretty? 
Aimi: I always was so nice to them! I bought them so many gifts, I always offered my help when needed..
Aimi: I THOUGHT THEY WERE MY FRIENDS! BUT THAT'S NOT HOW FRIENDS ACT! 
Aimi: ... 
Aimi's brother: Aimi, dear, I understand you. I understand your feelings so well. 
Aimi's brother: This world is full of evil people. You're one of the few people who stay kind no matter what. 
Aimi's brother: And most people prefer to just ignore all the evil others do.. 
Aimi's brother: But I don't agree with that. Honestly, I think people like that don't deserve to live. 
Aimi: .. "Don't deserve to live"?
Aimi: So what you're saying is.. 
Aimi: ... 
Aimi's brother: Just trust me, okay? You can always rely on me. 
Aimi: B-but then.. 
Aimi's brother: I'll go wash the dishes. How about you play with Maru and Mochi when they come back? 
Aimi: Nii-san, you're not going to.. 
Aimi:Do anything to my classmates, right? 
(sounds of Aimi's brother washing the dishes) 
Aimi: Ugh, he can't hear me.. 
(sounds of dogs barking in the background)
Aimi: Oh, is that-
Aimi: They're back! I'll go greet them, hehe~

[ Shun's Confession ]
Shun: I see. Thank you, this helps a lot.
Old woman's voice: You're welcome. To be honest, I did have my suspicions about that boy..
Old woman's voice: But you seem really nice. I'm sure she still misses you.
Shun: Ahaha.. Thank you so much. I hope so too.
Shun: Have a nice day.
(sounds of footsteps)
Shun: ...
Shun: *sighs loudly*
Shun: God, that was so scary..
Shun: Ugh, socializing shouldn't be this hard..
Shun: But at least I've learned more about her..
Shun: .. Shouldn't I have known that already if she was my girlfriend?..
Shun: N-never mind.
Shun: Okay, let me just go through my notes-
Shun: !
Shun: I-I almost dropped my phone..
Shun: Okay, so.. 
Shun: Inaba Hina, 21 year old. A university student, psychology major, also has a part-time job as a babysitter.
Shun: So she's good with kids, huh.. Haha, they're going to love her.
Shun: Was born on August 28th, lives alone, but regularly picks her little brother up from school since her parents can't do that because of their job and his school is very close to her apartment.
Shun: Come to think of it..
Shun: R-right! She's supposed to pick him up soon!
Shun: I have the address written down, hold on..
Shun: That's it, I'm finally going to meet her!..
Shun: "Okay, I'm finally here.."
Shun: "Huh.. It looks like her brother isn't here yet.."
Shun: "I guess I'll have to wait."
Shun: "Oh, maybe I should try to become friends with her little brother too? If I show her how good I am at taking care of kids, I'm sure she will fall in love with me again!"
Shun: Ehehe.. This plan is definitely going to work..
Shun: I should just wait until her brother-
Shun: Oh, isn't that..
Shun: "Okay, just act normal."
Shun: Hello there. Sorry for asking, but you're Inaba Renji, aren't you?
Renji: .. Um..
Shun: I know this may sound weird, but I'm your sister's.. friend and-
Renji: W-why do you know my name?
Shun: Your sister told me! She loves you a lot and she told me that you're a very good kid so I thought-
Renji: .. And what's your name?
Shun: O-oh, uh..
Shun: I-it's Ishizu Shun. You've probably heard it before.
Renji: Nope. Never heard a name like that.
Shun: ...
Shun: "S-she.. Never told her brother about me.."
Renji: Hey. I don't know what your deal is and I don't know anything about your relationship with my sister, but like..
Renji: C-can you.. leave me alone?
Shun: Oh, uh, s-she asked me to pick you up from school since she's too busy today!
Renji: ...
Shun: ...
Renji: Dude. That's like.. What all child kidnappers say. 
Shun: What?! No, no, you got it all wrong! I swear, I really am her friend-
Renji: I am going to scream if you don't leave me alone.
Shun: But-
Renji: *takes a breath*
Shun: Okay, fine, fine!
(sounds of Shun running away)
Shun: *breathing heavily*
Shun: That.. did not go well..
Shun: .. So she.. never told her brother about me..
Shun: .. Did she even love me?
Shun: And if not.. Why did she even date me?
Shun: I'm not that attractive and I'm not that smart..
(sound of a phone notification)
Shun: Hm? What's that?
Shun: O-oh, right, I forgot about Merurin's stream!
Shun: At least I have her to comfort me..
Shun: Did I bring my earphones with me-
???: Here you are!
Shun: *screams*
???: I've been looking for you everywhere!
???: Did you even read my messages?
???: Or did you forget as always?
Shun: .. I-I forgot.
???: *sighs* You have work today, you remember that?
Shun: .. I forgot.
???: Why are you like this..
???: Let's go. We're gonna be late, but honestly, I don't really care.
Shun: ...
???: Don't look at me like that. I'm not doing this because we're friends or anything.
Shun: O-oh, right. Sorry..
???: Hey, what were you watching anyway-
A voice from Shun's phone: Hewwo, my adorable little kittens! How are you all doing today? 
Shun: ...
???: ...
A voice from Shun's phone: Aw, I wish I could just give you all loooooots of headpats!~
???: .. You know what, I think you'll be fine without my help.
???: See you at work. 
Shun: W-wait!
Shun: ...
Shun: ".. Fine. I'm going to see Hina soon anyway."
Shun: "Or actually.."
Shun: .. Ehehe..
Shun: "Maybe I should invite her new boyfriend instead?"

[ Naomi's Confession ]
(sounds of children laughing and running around can be heard in the background)
Naomi: Okay, okay, everybody, sit down~ We can't have a tea party while you all are running and jumping like this, right?
Naomi's students: Okay, Chiba-sensei!
(sounds of children sitting down)
Naomi: Great! Now, I didn't forget about anyone, right? Everyone has tea to drink and snacks to eat-
Female student A: Chiba-sensei! Natsu ate my cookies while I wasn't looking!
Naomi: (to Natsu) Really? Did you do that?
Natsu: .. *nods*
Naomi: Come on, that's not a good thing to do. If you wanted some, you could have just asked me. 
Natsu: .. S-sorry..
Naomi: Here, you can take these. But please apologize to Rimi-chan, okay? 
Natsu: (to Rimi) U-um.. I-I'm sorry.. They just looked really good..
Rimi: Hm.. Fine, I forgive you! But never do that again!
Natsu: I-I promise!
Naomi: *laughs* Here, Rimi-chan, I still have some for you left.
Rimi: Yay! You're the best, Chiba-sensei!
Female student B: Chiba-sensei, why other teachers are so boring and strict compared to you?
Female student B: You're so nice!
Male student A: Yeah! You're like a friend to us, but like, a friend that's much older than us!
Naomi: Haha, are you saying that I'm old?
Female student C: Ugh, boys are so rude..
Naomi: Well, um.. I don't know, I just.. I don't want you to see my classes as something.. bad, I guess?
Naomi: I don't want you to be afraid of me or hate me.
Naomi: And also, I try to treat you all with respect, because that's what you all deserve, even if you all are much younger than me.
Naomi's students: Whoa..
Female student D: Chiba-sensei is so cool!
Female student B: How can anyone hate her-
???: .. Ahem.
???: So what you're saying is that you don't want people to see you in a bad way? 
???: You're afraid of people hating you, right? Even if those people are just kids?
Naomi: ...
Female student C: Way to kill the mood.. 
Naomi: Haha.. Come on, Tao-kun, you know that's not true-
Naomi: A-and even if it is true, what's so bad about it? Nobody wants to be hated-
Tao: Yeah, but you're an adult.
Tao: And you're still trying to please everyone and never say no to anyone.
Tao: I don't think it's because you're so kind, but because you're just too scared of being hated.
Tao: Do you really like us? Or do you like us because it's easy to manipulate us and make us think you're the nicest person in the world?
Naomi: ...
Male student B: What's your problem, Tao?! 
Female student C: That's why nobody likes you.
Female student B: Chiba-sensei is nice to us because she loves us. Simple as that. 
Tao: You are not her kids! We're just her students. There's no reason for her to love us.
Female student C: Well, she loves us more than your parents love you, that's for sure.
Tao: !
Tao: Shut up-
(the door opens)
???: Chiba-san? Someone wants to see you.
Naomi: .. O-oh. S-sure, I'll be right there.
Naomi: *stands up* Please wait for me, okay? Don't eat everything without me~
Naomi's students: Okay!~
(sounds of Naomi's footsteps)
Naomi: *thinking* "But who could have possibly wanted to see me-"
Naomi: ...
Naomi: .. Mom?
Naomi's mother: Well hello there.
Naomi's mother: What's with the kids laughing and screaming? I thought you were supposed to have classes today.
Naomi: U-um, we planned to have a tea party today, since everyone's been doing so well lately and we also finished working early, s-so..
Naomi: I just thought it would be nice to reward them with something, you know?
Naomi's mother:Is that a cookie crumb on your cheek?
Naomi: .. Oh. S-sorry.
Naomi's mother: You're so unprofessional..
Naomi: M-mom, I am a 30 year old teacher. Stop visiting me like this. It's embarrassing.
Naomi's mother: You're a bigger embarassment. I have no choice but to check how you're doing.
Naomi's mother: Seriously, you act more like a child than your students.
Naomi: ...
Naomi: B-but they seem to love me-
Naomi's mother: They don't see you as a teacher, Naomi. They see you as another child. You're a friend to them, not a teacher. You won't be able to become a good role model for them.
Naomi: I-I just want them to feel safe, since most of them come from.. families with all sorts of problems.
Naomi's mother: Nobody can be safe with you around. I literally keep visiting you exactly because of that.
Naomi: ...
Naomi's mother: Don't look at me like that. 
Naomi: Please, just.. leave. My students can hear us.
Naomi's mother: And what exactly are you so afraid of? It's your fault for being like this.
Naomi's mother: If you wanted to become a teacher to make me proud, then at least act like one.
Naomi: I-I'm trying..
Naomi: But someone keeps distracting me from doing my job-
(a sound of Naomi being slapped)
Naomi: ...
Naomi's mother: Don't you ever blame me for doing this.
Naomi's mother: I'm doing this for your sake. You have left me no other choice.
Naomi: .. Someone could see you doing this to me, you know.
Naomi's mother: Oh, so now you're blackmailing me. Seriously, you should be more grateful.
Naomi's mother: You don't have to "worry" about me. With my reputation, people would never think I'm in the wrong for doing this.
Naomi's mother: .. They never did.
Naomi's mother: Now, go back to work.
Naomi: .. You really just came to traumatize me again? The hell is wrong with you?
Naomi's mother: .. We'll discuss the way you talk to your own mother later.
Naomi: I am not a child-
Naomi's mother: Again, I have no choice but to treat you like one. 
Naomi's mother: Now, go and play with the kids your age.
(sounds of Naomi's mother's footsteps becoming quieter)
Naomi: ...
Rimi: Chiba-sensei..
Naomi: Ah!
Naomi: Rimi-chan.. what are you doing here?
Naomi: D-did you see-
Rimi: *nods*
Naomi: ...
Naomi: I'm so sorry. That was.. not a teacher-like thing to do-
Naomi: !
Rimi: .. W-when I told you about my parents, you hugged me. You hugged me, even though I was so loud and annoying and couldn't stop crying..
Rimi: S-so, um.. I-I thought that maybe this can help you feel better too.
Naomi: ...
Naomi: C-come on, an adult should be comforting a child, not the other way around..
Naomi: Let's go back, okay? I'm sure everyone is waiting for us.
Naomi: ".. I just hope Tao didn't see this."

[ Kei's Confession ]
(a woman's screaming can be heard in the background)
Kei: Shh, it's okay, it's okay~
Kei: Can you smile for me, please?
Kei: Or, actually, never mind, your expression is already perfect. 
Kei: Anddddd we're done!~
Kei's boss: Seriously, you're enjoying this way too much.
Kei: I just love my job a lot, is that bad?
Kei's boss: Well, your job is to take photos of people in the worst conditions imaginable. Most people wouldn't really like this job, unless they've got some screws loose.
Kei: Haha, come on, you know that with a father like mine, I'm used to this.
Kei's boss: True..
Kei: Also, I'm sure this cutie over here has already fallen in love with me-
(the woman's screaming gets louder)
Kei: .. Maybe not.
Kei's boss: Anyway, just take the money and leave. 
Kei: Oh, you know I'm not doing this for the money-
Kei's boss: Ahem.
Kei: Got it, got it. 
Kei: (to the woman) See you later, sweetie! Uh.. If you survive, that is.
(the door opens)
Kei: Ruka, I'm home!~
Kei: Ruka?..
Kei: "Where could he be?"
Kei: "Nothing happened to him while I was gone, right?.."
Kei: !
Kei: RUKA!
Kei: "What if they've done something to him while I was-"
Kei: Huh?..
Ruka: Oh, you're home.
Kei: .. What are you doing?
Ruka: I'm taking a bath. I thought it was obvious.
Kei: .. While fully clothed?
Ruka: Of course. I remember doing so even when I was alive.
Kei: .. O-okay.
Kei: *breathes out* I was so scared..
Ruka: Why?
Ruka: I won't drown or anything. And I won't try to kill myself. I'm already dead anyway-
Kei: I know, I know! It's just..
Kei: Well, uh.. You remember what happened.
Ruka: .. Oh.
Ruka: You can come here, if you want.
Kei: Again, while fully clothed?
Ruka: What's your issue with clothes? Do it, coward.
Kei:*laughs* Fine, fine.
(sounds of Kei getting into the bathtub)
Kei: This feels so weird.
Ruka: Hearing that from a guy like you sounds weirder.
Kei: .. Am I really that weird, Ruka?
Ruka: Yeah.
Kei: But why?
Ruka: Every single thing about you is weird.
Kei: Well, name one then!
Ruka: You're sitting in a bathtub with me right now and we both have our clothes on.
Kei: .. That was all part of your plan?!
Ruka: Yep.
Kei: .. *laughs* Then you're just as weird as me.
Ruka: Probably. I'm dead anyway, might as well do whatever I want.
Kei: .. Maybe it would be nice to die, actually-
Kei: No, no, what am I saying, haha..
Ruka: Nope, you have to live.
Kei: Huh? Why?
Ruka: Uh..
Ruka: 'Cause you have a job and I don't?.. And well, we still need money, so..
Kei: *laughs* How do you just.. Let things like this come out of your mouth?
Ruka: Maybe that's because of your influence.
Kei: .. Ruka, you love me, right?
Ruka: Dunno.
Kei: Meanie.
Kei: .. I don't want to leave this house anymore. 
Kei: Everyone is too mean.
Kei: They're too mean to us.
Ruka: Listen, your friends' reaction was understandable-
Kei: It was not! They were so rude!
Kei: I probably should have expected it, they were always saying weird things about guys who like guys..
Ruka: *sighs* It's not because of me being a guy.
Ruka: Actually, I'm not even sure if I'm one-
Kei: You are one. At least, uh.. physically. Your gender is up to you to figure out though.
Ruka: Sure, whatever. Anyway, that's not because they acted like that.
Kei: THEN WHY?!
Kei: Ugh, the water is so cold..
Ruka: You just noticed?
Kei: They were so mean...
Ruka: .. Are you going to cry?
Kei: Shut up.
Kei: I wish I could prove to them that my way of showing love is normal..
Ruka: I doubt you can do that.
Kei: .. I think I have an idea.
Ruka: He has an idea. Great.
Kei: They always said things like "Kei, come on, you're going to steal our girlfriends at this point!" or "Seriously, our girlfriends are going to fall in love with you, if you keep at it!"
Kei: I think that's because they knew that their girls would gladly choose me over them.
Kei: So.. Why not invite them here? I can give them as much love as they want from me~
Ruka: Oh no, I'm feeling so jealous..
Kei: You sound more emotionless than ever.
Ruka: Anyway, I'm against this.
Kei: Why?!
Ruka: You should just forget about your friends. Seriously. 
Ruka: Do you even see them as friends?
Kei: Um.. Not really..
Kei: But..
Kei: If I want to appear "less weird", I need to have friends..
Ruka: .. Hey. 
Ruka: .. Have you ever had friends? You know.. before them?
Kei: .. I think I had one.
Kei: But I don't really remember him that well..
Kei: H-he probably left me or something, haha..
Kei: .. Hey, the water is way too cold. I'm getting out.
Ruka: You're not actually going to invite them to our house, right?
(sounds of Kei getting out of the bathtub)
Kei: Why not? I can treat those girls better than their boyfriends.
Ruka: Kei, I don't have a good feeling about this.
Kei: Aw, so you really are jealous!
Ruka: .. You already have me. You don't have to try and get those guys' trust back or whatever.
Kei: ...
Kei: I don't like the way wet clothes feel. I'll go change.
