chapter three has me hyped so im posting theories for Hyper! Danganronpa H20
major spoilers for DR1, DR2, DRV3, and HDRH20 under the cut
• Caesar might be the SHSL Assassin / Spy / Anything similar. Or perhaps have a talent similar to that of Victoria Hester
- His birthday is veteran’s day which could hint to him having some affiliation with the Army / Navy / Air force / ETC. - It says he enjoys eavesdropping with would be beneficial for a spy. - He specializes in fading into the background with could also be beneficial for both a spy and an assassin - He likes precision which would be helpful if he had a talent similar to Victoria as in he’s the captain of some branch of the army or something similar. Precision would also make sense for an assassin because he would want precision when killing a target.
This one is probably far fetched but im desperate to know what his talent is and this is all i could come up with
nesxt one • Hunter Rosenhall could be the chapter three killer or have been helping the killer Really the only piece of evidence I have for this one is that he was the only one who knew that Maya was going to go apologize to Four that night. The thing is, she didn’t get attacked the night she said she would apologize. She got attacked the next morning when she went to apologize again. The only reason im saying this theory is because at the time of writing this i have no clue who else the killer could be.
This next one is less of a theory and more of my predictions. Chapter 1-3 victims are already confirmed and so are the 1-2 killers so im starting with the chapter 3 killer. Really the only ones I have any  real evidence for are the survivors, the ch3 killer, and the mastermind.
CH3 K - Hunter Rosenhall (might also be Tamako Fujiwara since she was already collecting blood from Chet.) CH4 V - No clue but if Tamako turns out to be the ch3 killer im saying Hunter dies ch4 because the buff bros (Sakura, Nekomaru, Gonta) always die ch4. CH4 M - Same as above but I think Oliver might also play a part in chapter four CH5 V - Kouji Ito (He reminds me of Komeada. That is all.) CH5 M - Four Kaiden (She kinda plays the same role Chiaki played as in she’s the main helper of the protag after the previous side protag either goes batshit crazy or dies and chiaki did... that. Hunter also plays this role, but I predict he’s going to die earlier so ye) MM - Ash Sivale ( ok we’re going back to the character page. Unfortunately his birthday doesn’t hint to anything but his bday is national ice cream sandwich day so it’s not that bad. Anyways, one thing is that he specializes in manipulation. Junko seemed very manipulative of people, including her sister, the warriors of hope, and mainly the DR1 students. That’s honestly all I have.)
Survivors : Victoria Hester, Maya Canzanilla, and Caesar With Victoria the reason I say she might be a survivor is because she already has a high kill count and most would suspect her as the killer. One thing I noticed with the DR series is that those with the most obvious talents or reasons to kill (Touko as the SHSL Murderous Fiend, Fuyuhiko as the SHSL Yakuza, and Maki as the SHSL Assassin) are usually survivors. Touko, Fuyuhiko, and Maki all survived so I’d say that Victoria will survive as well. The reason is the same for Caesar but only because of my theory of him being an assassin / spy / captain of an army branch. For Maya It’s really just because she’s the protag. I know that this isn’t a very good reason since you-know-who died in V3 but yknow.
One thing is that there’s still one character left, which is Leona, so my idea is
1 - Two masterminds (unlikely) 2 - Two people die in another chapter besides chapter 3 or 3 - There’s four survivors Honestly I’m not sure which one it is. I think it’s most likely going to be number 3 but I would be hyped it if turns out there’s gonna be an extra death. Maybe the mastermind kills someone?  All in all i’m very excited about the rest of Hyper Danganronpa H20 and I just wanted to share my theories.

Party’s and Proclamations.
Tumblr media
Wow...That’s...a lot more people than I thought...
*The Future Foundation arrive at Freedom Café, to find the place invaded with people. Loud music is being blasted from inside.
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
Come on Komaru, chin up.
Tumblr media
Yeah. It won’t do anyone any good if you’re down all the time. Do it for your family at least.
Tumblr media
I’l...I’ll try...
*Everyone heads inside.
Tumblr media
Huh?
Tumblr media
Oh! The guests of the hour are here!
Tumblr media
Ah, about damn time you showed up.
*The Freedom Foundation all sit behind the counter. Oliver, Four and Maya pour out drinks and clean up plates and the like.
Tumblr media
You three seem busy. 
Tumblr media
We’re working.
Tumblr media
Usually, this place is a morning cafe, but it can turn into a pretty great bar at night. 
Tumblr media
Feel free to order drinks and enjoy yourselves. You guys earned it.
Tumblr media
I would argue you guys earned it more. You should be the one’s enjoying yourselves. More than us at least.
Tumblr media
I really appreciate that kid. But believe me, something like this is reward enough.
Tumblr media
By the way, thanks a lot Kyoko. I heard you spoke with the police and set up a blockade to keep any paparazzi away.
Tumblr media
For now, yes. I’m warning you though, this won’t be in place forever. Now that you’ve exposed your identities to the public, the best I can do is make sure the police protect you from any assassins or hitman that might come seeking vengeance. Paparazzi is another issue entirely.
Tumblr media
It’s gonna suck, but I wouldn’t change it. We did what had to be done.
Tumblr media
Still, I’m gonna miss being hated and misunderstood by society.
Tumblr media
We’ll be lucky if the café doesn’t get torn down honestly.
Tumblr media
N-Not that I want to jinx that.
Tumblr media
Too late dude.
Tumblr media
If they wanna tear this place down, they’re gonna have to tear through me first!
Tumblr media
They’ll do that prrreetty easily Maya.
Tumblr media
Not if I use Kuripa as a meatshield!
Tumblr media
If you were literally anyone else, I would have punched you for saying that, but I’d happily be your protective meatshield.
Tumblr media
Oh, and uh...
Tumblr media
Sorry but...I guess Makoto decided not to come, huh?
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
He’s...He’s decided to go off on his own for a while. He left a note telling me he’d be back.
Tumblr media
That...makes sense...
Tumblr media
Don’t worry. Makoto’s a good guy. Whatever slump he’s in, he’ll get over it soon enough.
Tumblr media
He had better. We aren’t exactly going to be battling back against Zetsubou without him.
Tumblr media
Anyway, hopefully he’ll change his mind and join in on the celebrations later. For now, the rest of you go and have fun.
Tumblr media
We can promise to try.
Tumblr media
If at any point, you three feel like taking a break, I’d be happy to switch with you.
Tumblr media
Yeah, same here. Like Akeru said, you guys deserve to celebrate too.
Tumblr media
[A few hours later.]
*The party continues on into the night, but after a while, less and less patrons start to show up. The Future Foundation unfortunately find it hard to have any fun due to the absence of Makoto, but they still try and support the Freedom Foundation and enjoy themselves as much as they can. 
Tumblr media
He’s not usually like this...
*Kuripa stands behind the counter, filling in for Oliver and mixing drinks alongside Maya.
Tumblr media
Makoto, you mean?
Tumblr media
Yeah...I don’t know what’s going on with him, but ever since Mukuro Ikusaba...no, even before that. Ever since Yui Samidare died, he’s been...different.
Tumblr media
If he was himself, he would have shown up and had a whale of a time...and...
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
...!
*Kuripa glances to the side, where Komaru, Toko and Akeru are sitting at a table. Komaru and Toko have glasses of wine in their hand. Akeru has a juice box.
Tumblr media
You worried about Komaru?
Tumblr media
*sigh* She’s dumb as a box of rocks, but she’s a good person with good morals. Boss cares about her a lot too. It sucks to see them fight like this.
Tumblr media
You think Komaru’s in the right?
Tumblr media
I don’t know what to think. I just...Hm?
*Kuripa pauses as he suddenly feels his phone vibrate in his pocket. He takes it out and looks at the message he was sent.
Tumblr media
Oh...shit...speak of the devil...
Tumblr media
Is that him?
Tumblr media
Yeah...I gotta go. Alone by the way...
Tumblr media
Need me to take over?
Tumblr media
Yeah, break times over Ollie. Sorry to ditch you all like this.
Tumblr media
S’okay. Do what you gotta.
*Kuripa leaves through the back door.
Tumblr media
Hey, we’ve made progress at least.
Tumblr media
I don’t like that...Makoto’s willing to talk now, but the only one he’s willing to talk to is the maniac...
Tumblr media
Hey, Kuripa’s not a...
Tumblr media
Well...ok, maybe he’s a BIT of a maniac.
Tumblr media
I don’t like it either. We’re his best friends, and Kyoko’s his wife. Yet he chooses to speak to Kuripa?
Tumblr media
It’s not completely unreasonable. These days, Makoto spends more time with Kuripa than he does any one of us. Plus, after his outburst earlier, maybe he thought Kuripa would best understand him.
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
Kyoko? Where are you going?
Tumblr media
I’m just going to check on them. I want to see if Makoto’s ok.
Tumblr media
That sounds like a bad idea, but I know I can’t stop you...Just watch out for yourself.
*Kyoko follows Kuripa out the back door. However, no sooner does she leave, the front door chimes open.
Tumblr media
Ah, a latecomer. Or are you coming to pick up a friend?
Tumblr media
Nah...I came to get a coffee. Think you could get me one?
Tumblr media
!!?
*The Future Foundation members freeze, and lurch to their feet at the sound of the voice.
Tumblr media
Yeesh...antsy crowd we got here today.
Tumblr media
Huh? What’s up with you guys?
Tumblr media
That’s Akira Tsuchiya...! The Organization Zetsubou member who was working with Feng...!
Tumblr media
!!?
Tumblr media
So, he decided to roll up on our doorstep, did he?
Tumblr media
What is it that you want?
Tumblr media
Didn’t you hear me? I’d like a coffee.
Tumblr media
It’s crunch time and I’m pulling late hours. Give me the strongest you got.
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
Maya...
Tumblr media
Coming right up, sir.
Tumblr media
Heh.
*Akira walks over to Byakuya’s past the other patrons, and sits down.
Tumblr media
I don’t believe I gave you permission to sit there.
Tumblr media
I don’t believe that’s your call.
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
...Komaru...
Tumblr media
Hm? Ah, if it ain’t lil’ Yozora!
Tumblr media
...!
Tumblr media
You’re Narumi’s little playmate, right? I’m Akira. I’m basically her older brother. Nice to finally meet you.
Tumblr media
Keep your grubby hands away from her Tsuchiya...!
Tumblr media
Akeru. Go hide in the basement.
Tumblr media
Y-Yeah...that sounds good.
*Akeru scarpers away.
Tumblr media
Aw, c’mon. I might not look it, but I’m great with kids.
Tumblr media
If you’re anything like your “little sister” then don’t expect me to believe that.
Tumblr media
First of all, rude. Second of all, fair.
*Maya, with a cup of strong coffee in her hands, puts it down hard in front of the hacker.
Tumblr media
Enjoy...
*She then goes back behind the counter.
Tumblr media
I half expected you to just pour the thing over him.
Tumblr media
I’m glad she didn’t. We don’t know what he’s planning. He could have this whole building surrounded.
Tumblr media
Remember, we’re not the only people here. We can’t risk civilian casualties.
Tumblr media
Christ guys, I know! I’m not THAT dumb...
*Akira sips his coffee.
Tumblr media
YOWZA! That is some...*COUGH* strong stuff...! You can tell you’re an Ultimate...Phooweee!
Tumblr media
So, Tsuchiya. What kind of crunch time requires you to stay up this late at night, and need a coffee so strong?
Tumblr media
Mainly dealing with the repercussions of Emilia Feng’s death. Zetsubou really took a blow after that incident, you know?
Tumblr media
Unfortunately, it looks like the mastermind of the deed isn’t joining us tonight. Kurafto, I mean.
Tumblr media
Actually Tsuchiya, consider yourself fortunate. If Kuripa were here, he’d kill you right where you sat.
Tumblr media
Yeah...I guess you’re right about that. But don’t get me wrong. I didn’t come here to hurt any of you.
Tumblr media
I just heard that Maya Canzanilla was the Ultimate Barista. And when that happened, I just had to test her skills. And you did not disappoint. This coffee is absolutely eye-opening. 
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
Right...right...you’ve got nothing you need to prove to me...Why should you?
Tumblr media
Still though, Feng’s death isn’t about to stop us. We already have the schematics for her basic weaponry, so we don’t really need her to produce them.
Tumblr media
Tch...
Tumblr media
Still, it does set us back a bit. It means no new weaponry will be developed. 
*He glances over at Oliver.
Tumblr media
I heard she was your mom, too. Sorry to hear of your loss.
Tumblr media
Tsuchiya, was it? Forgive me for replying to your sympathy with an insult, but I’m really started to get tired of hearing you talk.
Tumblr media
Ouch...that IS insulting...
Tumblr media
What do you want? Because I warn you, we’re not afraid of you, and if this escalates into a fight-
Tumblr media
I TOLD you...I’m here for the coffee.
*Akira sips the coffee some more.
Tumblr media
Honestly, you should be more grateful. If I hadn’t told you about Fang Inc’s construction site, you’d have never know your gal pal Marisha was dead...
Tumblr media
Wha-What!?
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
Byakuya, what’s he talking about?
Tumblr media
...I didn’t admit this at the time, because we were fresh out of leads, and I was desperate to get my hands on anything...but I found out about the construction site dumping ground from Tsuchiya himself.
Tumblr media
I didn’t trust his info, which is why I initially intended to go by myself. But it turns out, he was telling the truth.
Tumblr media
Yeah. See? I’m not TOTALLY your enemy.
Tumblr media
Enough.
Tumblr media
Eh?
Tumblr media
Don’t come to the conclusion that we’re allies, or that I owe you, just because you helped me out once. 
Tumblr media
The one and only reason I don’t pounce on you and beat you to a bloody paste is because...I know who you REALLY are...
Tumblr media
...Ah...So you did some research?
Tumblr media
Who he really is?
Tumblr media
It’s true that there’s a limit to what we knew about Tsuchiya before now. All we knew is that he was Zetsubou’s tech expert, and Sumiko Kamiya’s grandson.
Tumblr media
Then...who is he really?
*Hina looks towards Byakuya.
Tumblr media
Turns out...no one important...Someone who should be dead...But that’s all.
Tumblr media
Huh?
Tumblr media
...I know who he is...but I don’t know what he wants...
Tumblr media
Then I’ll tell you what I want...
*Akira leans in, holding his coffee.
Tumblr media
I want to watch you die...
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
Huh!?
Tumblr media
You want to kill Byakuya specifically? Why?
Tumblr media
...Hm...Revenge, I guess? I don’t know if there’s a better word for it...Maybe spite is more accurate.
*He stands up and looms over Byakuya opposite him.
Tumblr media
You lost your whole family...and all your titles...You are no longer heir to the Togami throne, nor Branch Chief, nor Acting Chairman.
Tumblr media
Yes despite all that, you still look down on others comfortably. Must feel nice, right?
Tumblr media
...
*Byakuya also stands up, his and Akira’s eyes meeting.
Tumblr media
You leave me little room to argue. I’m always going to be the first to admit that I’m far from a saint.
Tumblr media
There are millions of billions of people in the world who look and act exactly like you and I...but there lives are a lot harder. Most of my life, I never gave such people a second thought...They were all dead to me...
Tumblr media
That said...In the very least, I didn’t go out of my way to make their already difficult lives more difficult, just like you have.
Tumblr media
Isn’t it the Future Foundation’s job to help people?
Tumblr media
It’s the Future Foundation’s job to help people by removing the likes of you from the world.
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
I don’t care what kind of connection we have really. And I don’t care if you helped me out. You’ll hear no thanks from me.
Tumblr media
Finish your coffee, and get lost.
*Byakuya sits back down, crosses his arms, and lowers his head.
Tumblr media
I quite agree. We’ve entertained this charlatan long enough.
Tumblr media
Come on now...charlatan? That’s it? Aren’t you the least bit curious who or what I am?
Tumblr media
All that matters is your name is Akira Tsuchiya...You’re a monster...a deviant...a scoundrel and a murderer. That’s all that matters.
Tumblr media
...That’s not my name, princess...
Tumblr media
...?
Tumblr media
Tell ‘em Togami~
Tumblr media
No. Just go away.
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
Aight, fine. Another time, maybe.
*Akira brings his coffee to the counter.
Tumblr media
Grazie, era delizioso.
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
...Ngh...
*Akira opens the door, and is about to leave, when suddenly, Hina gets to her feet.
Tumblr media
I can’t accept this! You can’t just stride in here, say all this cryptic stuff and leave! Who the hell do you think you are!?
Tumblr media
Hina-!
Tumblr media
...
*Akira turns around, a malicious grin on his face.
Tumblr media
You asked the right questions, Ms Asahina. Allow me to answer.
Tumblr media
I am the grandson of Sumiko Kamiya...the son of Emiko Kamiya...
Tumblr media
And the son...of Kijo Togami...!
Tumblr media
T-
Tumblr media
Togami...!?
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
Who...Who is Kijo Togami...!?
Tumblr media
He’s the last official known head of the Togami Corporation...
Tumblr media
and...is Byakuya’s father...!
Tumblr media
That’s correct. 
Tumblr media
Wh-Which means...!?
Tumblr media
Yep...that’s right...
*Akira points towards Byakuya.
Tumblr media
Byakuya Togami and I...
Tumblr media
...are half brothers, by blood.

When you love somebody...
[Flashback]
Tumblr media
Here. Gotcha one.
Tumblr media
...
*Hunter hands Hina an energy drink.
Tumblr media
If you think this is gonna make me talk...
Tumblr media
Don’t make it sound like an interrogation. 
Tumblr media
But I assume THIS will if that doesn’t.
Tumblr media
...!?
*Hunter suddenly pulls a sugary donut out from his pocket. He hands it to Hina, who snatches it.
Tumblr media
...Thanks.
Tumblr media
Heh...
*She starts to chew on the donut.
Tumblr media
So...how’d you find me?
Tumblr media
You might not know this, but I’m actually pretty famous. I have been for a fair while now.
Tumblr media
It honestly sucks...Back in the day, I got hounded by paparazzi left and right. The only reason people don’t do it as much any more is because they think Hunter Rosenhall is dead, and that I’m just a double act or something.
Tumblr media
Kuripa told me that you were an Olympic level swimmer at one point. Surely you know the feeling?
Tumblr media
Too well. It’s annoying when you’re trying to swim...
Tumblr media
Because they’re taking pictures of you when you’re exposed? Yeah, I’ve been there. 
Tumblr media
E-Exposed isn’t right, I-I don’t swim naked or anything!
Tumblr media
You know what I meant...!
*Hunter and Hina sit on a bench in silence for a short while. Hunter downs his drink while Hina finishes off her donut.
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
Can I ask a weird and kinda insensitive question?
Tumblr media
...What?
Tumblr media
What happened during the Killing Game? Yours I mean...
Tumblr media
I know Makoto went over it for us all, but that was just from his perspective. I think he was beating around the bush a little because the idea of demonizing his friends and classmates didn’t sit right with him.
Tumblr media
Hell, Maya and Four were doing the same thing most of the time, and they’re both blunt as a hammer most of the time.
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
I don’t really want to talk about it...but...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hina: I never killed anyone, and...I never died either, but...I did things that I’m not proud of...I almost got everyone killed...and all because I misunderstood my best friend.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They all forgave me in the end...Often times I wonder if they should have...
Tumblr media
They sound like great friends.
Tumblr media
Yeah...but I failed them again, even after all that...Hiro’s gone as a result...
Tumblr media
...They don’t need me...
Tumblr media
I think they do. In fact I think the reason they forgave you back then is because...they’ve always needed you.
Tumblr media
What do you mean?
Tumblr media
Come on, you’re the coolest one of the group. They need that emotional support.
Tumblr media
...I don’t know...
Tumblr media
*sigh* 
Tumblr media
It doesn’t feel good, does it? Looking around, seeing everyone depressed and angry, and sad...Hopeless...Like the sky is gonna collapse on you...You regret not having done more, or done things differently...
Tumblr media
How...How did you know?
Tumblr media
I’ve been there man...At the end of the Freedom Academy Killing Game, when Feng told us we were all gonna die? I don’t think I’ve ever seen everyone look so defeated...
Tumblr media
They all had such...blank expressions...devoid of any kinda emotion. They genuinely believed that the world didn’t care about us or who we were...
Tumblr media
[Flashback 2]
Tumblr media
Hunter: Maya was always so...loud and energetic, even back then, but in that moment, she was silent...
Tumblr media
Hunter: Four had a thousand mile stare...Not looking at anything, just...staring...
Tumblr media
Hunter: Even Leona was silent. She in particular had gone through so much she didn’t deserve. She’d become so strong, and so brave over the time we’d spent together, but even she was silent then...
Tumblr media
Hunter: Oliver was just as upset...Of course, I would be too if my mother told me anything close to what THEIR mother did...
Tumblr media
Hunter: And...even now, I still feel a pain in my chest when I remember how Kouji looked. I was so used to that cute dopey expression...It was so hard to see him so upset...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sound familiar?
Tumblr media
Yeah...You hit it right on the head. I felt the exact same way when I thought that we had been fighting for nothing.
Tumblr media
If there’s one thing Junko Enoshima does well, it’s making you feel the worst things in the world. Emilia Feng does the same.
Tumblr media
In fact, I’m feeling that Despair right now...I really did think I’d moved past this, but...ever since the Fugitive incident, I feel like...like I’m stuck in quicksand, and I’m clinging to everyone else to save myself, but it’s just dragging them in with me.
Tumblr media
Yeah...but...even so...Seeing my friends like that...Feeling that Despair...Knowing that there would be nobody to save us...nobody to care about us...
Tumblr media
Back then, I wasn’t about to let them feel that way...
Tumblr media
What...happened?
Tumblr media
...I convinced ‘em...That Emilia was wrong when she said no one cared about us.
Tumblr media
Because we still cared about each other.
Tumblr media
[Flashback 2]
Tumblr media
Don’t you get it? It’s all hopeless...Everything we fought for; all of our friends who died...None of it matters...None of it...There’s nobody to care about us
Tumblr media
That’s wrong! Kokona cared about you! Right!?
Tumblr media
What? But...she’s dead...
Tumblr media
So what!? Her memory isn’t! She cared about you so much, and you can’t let that love die! Do you wanna give up on her like that!?
Tumblr media
Her...memory...? After she died...I kept going because I wanted to make her proud...How could I forget that...?
Tumblr media
I...have to keep fighting!
Tumblr media
I can’t just let myself die here! I can’t give up on her!
Tumblr media
What are you guys talking about...? We did all our investigating; we tried everything we could. After all this time the truth doesn’t even matter...we were doomed this entire time...
Tumblr media
Four...Come on man...!
Tumblr media
Did my sister feel this same hopelessness? Did she die in the same way? I guess it doesn’t matter anymore...the truth doesn’t matter...because we’re going to die either way...
Tumblr media
Dammit Four! You can’t give up on the truth!
Tumblr media
Do you think we can seriously change the fact that we’re going to die? We’re going to be just like all the other people the Fang killed for her own ends...
Tumblr media
No! The truth is always worth it!
Tumblr media
That’s what we’ve been fighting for this entire time!
Tumblr media
We have this chance, and it’s higher than none! We can still do this! You can’t give up! You’ve been fighting since the beginning!
Tumblr media
The truth...what I’ve been looking for since we got here...
Tumblr media
...I suppose this is what I’ve been working towards my entire life...
Tumblr media
All the more reason you can’t give up on it bro!
Tumblr media
Right...After all that hard work and effort...I guess it’s a bit difficult just to give up like that...
Tumblr media
I don’t know about this “last chance” of yours Hunter, but if you think it’s enough to fight for...then I’ll do it. I’ll hold onto that possibility until my last breath leaves my body.
Tumblr media
Welcome back Four...
Tumblr media
Now...what about YOU?
Tumblr media
Me? Why? I was never your friend...And it appears I was nothing to my own mother as well...she doesn’t care about me...I was just...a pawn...a piece of apparatus in this game...None of it ever mattered...I was nothing more than a pig, being prepared for the slaughter. Nobody ever cared about me...
Tumblr media
Oliver...you’re wrong...
Tumblr media
What?
Tumblr media
You say nobody ever cared about you, but we’re all still right here! You wanna know something?
Tumblr media
I forgive you! Even if you’re the “Mastermind” or...whatever the fuck that means you’re still our friend! I am NOT gonna give up on you!
Tumblr media
You all...cared about me...? 
Tumblr media
Even after...all this?
Tumblr media
Hell yeah dude! We’ve always been pals! Even now!
Tumblr media
Pals...I’ve...I’ve never had “pals” before...I was raised for the sole purpose of being in this game...
Tumblr media
If...you guys really still accept me...even after all of this...then maybe there really are people out there that care about me? My mother may have given up on me, but I’m still my own human! I’m not something that she owns! I don’t have to do what she says!
Tumblr media
Fuck yeah! Teenage rebellion!
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
...
*Hunter steps out from behind his podium and approaches Kouji. He takes his hand, as Kouji rests his face in Hunter’s chest.
Tumblr media
My family...I don’t even know where they are...These people have total control over us...They’ll never let us go...What’s the point? Why even bother? There’s nobody to save us now...
Tumblr media
Kouji...that’s not true...
Tumblr media
I won’t let anything happen to you...not if I can help it...
*He kisses him gently on the head.
Tumblr media
I love you man. As long as I’m here, I won’t let you give up.
Tumblr media
Hunter...
Tumblr media
Heh...I must be pretty dumb, huh?
Tumblr media
This whole time, I’ve been the one talking about never giving up. With you around, I never felt like I was in any danger...I guess I forgot about that...
Tumblr media
You...make me feel safe...
Tumblr media
But don’t think you can say you’ll just keep me safe like it’s nothing! I’m gonna protect you too!
Tumblr media
I know that we’ve got each other’s backs! I can’t ever forget that!
Tumblr media
Are you guys seriously having a romantic anime scene in the middle of this...!? Are you all crazy or something...!?
Tumblr media
Maya...
Tumblr media
She’s made it pretty clear what’s gonna happen to us...They’re gonna kill us. We don’t have any Hope left...Do you seriously think we have any chance? Do you seriously think we can do anything? 
Tumblr media
There’s nothing! Nothing at all! This world doesn’t care about us! NOBODY cares about us!
Tumblr media
Who the fuck cares!?
Tumblr media
!!??
Tumblr media
Maya...it may be true that the world at large doesn’t care about us...If you take NHC’s power into consideration, they pretty much control the world...
Tumblr media
But even if the world doesn’t care about us, it doesn’t matter! Because we care about each other! Let your promise with Caesar be proof of that!
Tumblr media
...!?
Tumblr media
I...I did make a promise...
Tumblr media
I promised that I wouldn’t give up!
Tumblr media
All of you...All of you are my friends...! The world may have it out for us...but I’ve got all of you on my side! 
Tumblr media
So who gives a damn about what the world thinks!? I’m Maya-Goddamn-Canzanilla! When I see a wall, I tear it down! 
Tumblr media
Welcome back...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Right after that is when Oliver pulled out their trump card. You know the rest of the story.
Tumblr media
Hunter...I had...no idea...
Tumblr media
Yep, gets tough sometimes. You get major back pains when you spend so long carrying this team.
Tumblr media
Hehehe...You’re just like Makoto, you know that?
Tumblr media
Still...it can’t be easy...Being that pillar of support that keeps the rest of them going...
Tumblr media
I knew Maya had some esteem issues about her mission, but...now I see you’re the reason she kept going...
Tumblr media
Hina, you gotta understand something...It’s...sweet and honorable that you didn’t wanna drag your friends into the quicksand...
Tumblr media
But if they’re your friends...and I mean they’re REALLY your friends...Then you gotta understand that they’ll happily dive right into the sand with you.
Tumblr media
That’s how Hiro saw it when he sacrificed himself...And that’s how I saw it when I did all that shit...
Tumblr media
You saved everyone’s lives...
Tumblr media
...And I’d do it again...and again...even if I spent an eternity suffering, watching the people I love die...
Tumblr media
The Killing Game that Emilia put us through was the worst thing that ever happened to me in my whole life, but I wouldn’t change a damn thing about it...
Tumblr media
Why not?
Tumblr media
Because the Freedom Foundation are the people I love most in the universe...and because I love them...I’m willing to do anything for them. Because that’s what you’ve gotta do.
Tumblr media
...Even if it hurts you? Or hurts them?
Tumblr media
Pfft...ESPECIALLY then. And I think you know that well...
Tumblr media
You loved...what was her name...Sakura, so much...that you were willing to get every other person killed to avenge her.
Tumblr media
But that’s not what she wanted.
Tumblr media
Yeah, it wasn’t...but even if that’s the case, you still tried to do it. That’s proof right there...that you’re a good friend. The best in fact.
Tumblr media
And uh...between you and me...you’re definitely my favorite of your group.
Tumblr media
Hehehe...
Tumblr media
You’re good at this Hunter...
Tumblr media
So I’m told...
Tumblr media
Listen Hina. I didn’t come here to convince you to rejoin the Future Foundation. If you don’t think you’re cut out for it, or you don’t want to shoulder that responsibility, then I’m not gonna be the one who forces it upon you.
Tumblr media
All I’m saying is that you should come back and talk to Kyoko about how you feel. Not as a Future Foundation branch chief, but as her best friend. I don’t think I ever saw that icy shell of hers crack until you left...I didn’t like what I saw, so that’s why...
Tumblr media
I...
Tumblr media
Don’t start blaming yourself. You can make this right. Just come back, and tell Kyoko how you feel, WITHOUT storming off before giving her a chance to speak.
*Hunter holds out a hand.
Tumblr media
Now...we’ve got work to do...
Tumblr media
...
*Hina takes his hand.
Tumblr media
[Present day, Freedom Academy]
Tumblr media
UGH! Even with backup, this is still infuriating!
Tumblr media
We can’t see the enemies, but if we apply enough force, it breaks the camouflage! But the truck alone isn’t enough!
Tumblr media
In that case, it’s time for Plan P!
Tumblr media
Plan P!? Why P!?
Tumblr media
HUNTER!
Tumblr media
Oh! Is it time!?
Tumblr media
Let’s do this!
Tumblr media
What are you guys doing?
*Hina doesn’t answer. She and Hunter reach behind their backs and pull out the same object.
Tumblr media
Are those...Super Soakers?
Tumblr media
You’re gonna attack them with toy water guns!?
Tumblr media
Heehee! We sure are! But it’s not water in these guns...
Tumblr media
You ready!?
Tumblr media
Always!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!
*SPLASH!* *SPLASH!* *SQUIRT!*
Soldier: Wah-!?
Tumblr media
!!?
*Hina and Hunter start shooting the water guns in every direction they can. But what comes out of the nossel isn’t water. Instead, ink squirts out of the cannon, and douses the invisible soldiers, making them visible.
Tumblr media
Worked like a charm!
Tumblr media
Now let’s get ‘em!
*Hunter and Hina pose, and then continue to douse as many enemies as they can in the ink.

I wonder how’s the freedom foundation is doing?

We're sitting here and doing the absolutely typical thing that we would do in moments of peace.
Tumblr media
Arguing over who can spell "diarrhea" correctly.
Tumblr media
Maya and Leona are immediately disqualified since English isn't their first language.
Tumblr media
English IS my first language! Just because my family is Latino, doesn't mean I was raised in Spain! I live and learn HERE ya fucking fool!
Tumblr media
Yeah, you racist! How's my English any worse than yours!?
Tumblr media
Look, look, to be fair...diarrhea's really hard to spell...
Tumblr media
It's a BITCH to spell.

FreFo/FuFo Heist Planning: Volume #5.
Marisha: I can’t let it happen…and without her…it doesn’t… …Maya…I’m about to do something awful…
*The sound can be heard of a machine gun being loaded.
Marisha: Or at least, people will say it’s awful. If they knew what we did, maybe they’d think better of me!
Marisha: They wouldn’t think of us as monsters or terrorists! …But I need to stop THIS terrorist, no matter the cost! So if you’re listening to this message…then you know what happened to me…
Marisha: I’m…I’m SORRYYY!
???: There she is!
Marisha: HAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGH!
*The recording cuts out with the sound of screaming and rapid gunfire…
Tumblr media
...Marisha...
*The Freedom Foundation finish listening to the recording. Once they do, Maya slams her face on the table.
Tumblr media
D...DAMMIIIIIITT!!
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
What the hell...?
Tumblr media
I must reward this Marisha person on their cleverness. Their method of getting this message to you was ingenious.
Tumblr media
What do you mean?
Tumblr media
I’ve had time to think on it, but it seems that this USB doesn’t just work as a hard drive.
Tumblr media
Based on the way it’s shaped...it also functions as a bullet.
Tumblr media
What!?
Tumblr media
If you want my hypothesis, Marisha was almost killed by the Fang Inc. soldiers. But before they could get to her, she recorded this and put it in the hard drive. She then hid the drive in the bullet, and shot herself in the head so that the soldiers wouldn’t immediately find the recording.
Tumblr media
But wait, you’re not answering the most important question. Who IS Marisha!?
*Byakuya turns to the Freedom Foundation.
Tumblr media
Considering she seemed to know Maya, I would guess that she’s a friend of the Freedom Foundation’s.
Tumblr media
I suggest asking them...but I also suggest maybe giving them some time to recover.
Tumblr media
...No need. We promised no more secrets, right?
*Four, depressed and rubbing Maya’s back to console her as she cries into her arms, turns towards the Future Foundation.
Tumblr media
Marisha Filliet is her full name. Remember how Maya said we had a contact inside Fang Inc?
Tumblr media
Yeah...that was her...
Tumblr media
Filliet...If I remember correctly, that’s...?
Tumblr media
Yeah...One of the victims of the Killing Game we were in was Maria Filliet...Marisha is her half-sister.
Tumblr media
She was one of the few people who we told the truth about what happened in the Killing Game. She was mortified, and wanted to help us, but Maya didn’t want to get her too involved.
Tumblr media
Marisha was insistent though, so we gave her a job. We asked her to get hired into Fang Inc. and leak information about their plans to us. Whatever she could get her hands on.
Tumblr media
...I shouldn’t have done that...I should’ve just said no...
Tumblr media
Maya...This isn’t your fault dammit...
Tumblr media
But it is! I should’ve just put my foot down! I should never have gotten her involved! And now she’s dead, and it’s on me!
Tumblr media
For fucks sake, it’s not like YOU shot her! 
Tumblr media
Kuripa, hey! J-Just calm down!
Tumblr media
I CAN’T JUST CALM DOWN!
Tumblr media
Didn’t you hear what Filiet said!? Not only is she now dead, but Emilia Feng was baiting us the entire time! The Kerokuma’s could drop down and kill all of us at ANY MOMENT!
Tumblr media
Emilia’s just waiting for that government confrontation, and then with the push of a button, BAM! She’s queen of the whole country!
Tumblr media
Well, then we’d better hurry up and destroy them! Isn’t that what we planned to do anyway?
Tumblr media
We need the schematics for the building to even get close to the project database, and even if we had that, it’s hopeless anyway...
Tumblr media
Why!?
Tumblr media
Komaru, didn’t you hear what Marisha said? “Even if the Kerokuma’s themselves are destroyed, she has a program that will automatically re-engineer the AI and produce thousands more at the drop of a hat.”
Tumblr media
It might take a few months at least, but no matter what we do, Emilia will get the project back on it’s webbed feet...
Tumblr media
It’s over...There’s nothing we can do...It’s all over...
Tumblr media
You’re just gonna give up!? After all this, you’re just gonna turn around and stop fighting!?
Tumblr media
What’s the point of fighting!? Even if we destroy the Kerokuma’s my mother will just build them again and again, faster than we can destroy them! We can’t just lose any more lives!
Tumblr media
...I can’t take it anymore...I just can’t...
Tumblr media
Marisha died...Hiro got kidnapped...I don’t want anyone to get hurt anymore.
Tumblr media
No...No I agree with Komaru...
Tumblr media
We can’t give up! We’ve come way too far to give up!
Tumblr media
Hunter...
Tumblr media
This is the exact same rut we all got stuck in at the end of the Killing Game! We all were willing to give up on hope, just because Emilia told us we were gonna die! But we stuck it to that bitch! What’s stopping us from doing it again, huh!?
Tumblr media
Even now, we’ve got the impression that it’s all hopeless! Well even if you guys back down, I won’t!
Tumblr media
Hunter, I love you...but you can’t do this by yourself...!
Tumblr media
Then help me, god dammit! Don’t go giving up on me just because of one little hurdle!
Tumblr media
Hunter’s right. You can’t give up on hope.
Tumblr media
Oh, here we go...
Tumblr media
What?
*Makoto steps forward.
Tumblr media
Lately, times have been harsh. We’ve gained enemies and lost allies...we have seen uncertainty and Despair rise. 
Tumblr media
Yet, amid said Despair, we have survived.​ And YOU have survived just as we have against Fang Inc. all this time, by yourselves no less.
Tumblr media
​Remember, some challenges are more significant than you; you need your team. Let them lift you. We need to ​outthink, outwork and outcare for each other. 
Tumblr media
So don’t start blaming yourselves, don’t put pressure on yourselves, and most importantly...Don’t. Start. Giving. Up.
Tumblr media
Our direction may seem messy and confusing, and may seem like we can’t get anywhere, but I KNOW we can. We aren’t gonna give up Hope, not now, not ever.
Tumblr media
...
*Maya stands up and wipes her eyes and nose with her sleeve.
Tumblr media
...Did you practice this or something...?
Tumblr media
No ma’am. That’s a Naegi special. Not sure if I ever told you this, but I like to think I’m quite good at motivational speeches.
Tumblr media
I agree with that...But even so...believing in ourselves doesn’t present a conclusion.
Tumblr media
We still have no way of destroying the Kerokuma Initiative. And hope and belief won’t give us one.
Tumblr media
Then why don’t I give you one?
Tumblr media
Huh?
Tumblr media
Boss...you have a plan?
Tumblr media
Something like that...I think we’re thinking about this the wrong way.
Tumblr media
We’re focusing on the idea of destroying the Kerokuma Initiative robots, but the algorithm Emilia put in place will mean that she’ll always have a way of revitalizing the project...
Tumblr media
If that’s the case...then instead of destroying the Kerokuma’s, why don’t we FIX them instead?
Tumblr media
“Fix” them?
Tumblr media
Yeah! Oliver, you’ve already wrote programs and hacked into databases before. Is there any chance you can retro-engineer a more suitable algorithm to replace the one the robots currently have?
Tumblr media
I...didn’t think of that...but it might be possible...
Tumblr media
Hey, why don’t I do you one better? Instead of making an algorithm, why don’t we make some kind of virus the break the current one? Then the robots will be totally inactive!
Tumblr media
That might be more difficult...but again...Not impossible.
Tumblr media
What...!? Why the hell didn’t you mention that earlier Ollie!?
Tumblr media
I don’t know, it just didn’t come to mind. I thought wiping the current data would be more than enough, so I didn’t think the effort was needed.
Tumblr media
But if it’s come down to this, I might be able to do it!
Tumblr media
See? There’s always a way!
Tumblr media
Heh. You underestimate Boss’s tenacity. “Give Up” isn’t in his dictionary.
Tumblr media
That’s a bit of an overexaggerating, but thank you.
Tumblr media
I...I don’t know...I still feel like there’s a few issues.
Tumblr media
How so?
Tumblr media
Well, first of all, Oliver will need time to make the virus, right? And given that Emilia plans on launching the Kerokuma’s when the Government confront her, that means we’re on a time budget, right?
Tumblr media
Byakuya. Toko. Do you guys know when it is that the Government plans to confront Feng?
Tumblr media
No...But if I had to guess, I’d say we have a minimum of 2 days...
Tumblr media
I can make a virus in roughly 24 hours, give or take. Faster if I really try.
Tumblr media
But that’s still a whole day wasted. We’d only have a day to do everything.
Tumblr media
And that’s not the only issue, in order to erase the data, we’d still have to break into the building OZ are using as a base and get to the Kerokuma algorithm in order to download the virus.
Tumblr media
But with the attack at the docks, we weren’t able to get the building schematics...
Tumblr media
Says who?
Tumblr media
Huh?
*Kyoko reaches into her pocket and pulls out a USB.
Tumblr media
You didn’t honestly think that I was going to forget the whole reason we went there, right?
Tumblr media
You got it!?
Tumblr media
I downloaded the data after the soldiers took Hiro away. That meant nobody would stop me.
Tumblr media
It’s not good to use my friends kidnapping as a card, but...well, I won’t justify myself.
Tumblr media
Anything else Kouji?
Tumblr media
I’ve got one...What the hell does this all accomplish?
Tumblr media
Huh?
Tumblr media
Let’s say that we do permanently shut down the Kerokuma project, and Emilia is left having to start completely from scratch.
Tumblr media
It’ll take a while, sure, but you know what she’ll end up doing to those Government guys if she can’t take them out with the robots? She’ll just pay them off, go about her business, and start all over again.
Tumblr media
Maya’s right. Like Marisha said in the recording, the Kerokuma Initiative will stay alive so long as Emilia Feng is in power. It’ll take years, but Emilia will more than happily get the project back on it’s feet. She won’t allow anyone to jeopardize it for her.
Tumblr media
That’s a good point. There’s no point taking Emilia out. All she’ll do is pay off the Government, investigators and news reporters, then go crying to public to make herself look like the victim.
Tumblr media
That’s how she’s always done it, and the shitty part is that it always works.
Tumblr media
It’s what she does. She scares the shit out of people, then swoops in and plays the hero.
Tumblr media
However...if you think about it, that also means that she’s leaving her biggest weakness wide open to us.
Tumblr media
Huh?
Tumblr media
What do you mean?
Tumblr media
I mean...her public image...
Tumblr media
Emilia is obsessed with how the public views her, and with all the illicit things she does behind their back, it makes sense. 
Tumblr media
If we shatter that, and show the world for what she well and truly is, she and her entire empire falls apart.
Tumblr media
Easier said than done. We’ve tried doing that in the past, but she’s always found a way to cover it up.
Tumblr media
But...do you remember how this whole fiasco started?
Tumblr media
Huh?
Tumblr media
This incident, and our collaboration with the Future Foundation started for one key reason...We found evidence of Fang Inc’s. union with Organization Zetsubou.
Tumblr media
No matter how you look at it, teaming up with world famous terrorists isn’t something that you can just cover up.
Tumblr media
Yeah, but at the same time, all we’ve got proving it is a few documents. That alone doesn’t prove the crime.
Tumblr media
It’s more like the documentation you provide in court to emphasize your point, not solve your case.
Tumblr media
Hm...yes...we’ll certainly need to find something more concrete.
*BZZZT!* *BZZZT!*
Tumblr media
Huh?
*Makoto’s phone suddenly starts to ring. It’s an unknown number. Kuripa leans over his shoulder to look.
Tumblr media
...That doesn’t look safe.
Tumblr media
But it might be important. I should answer.
*He answers.
Tumblr media
Hello?
???: Makoto. It’s me.
Tumblr media
Who is this?
Whitecloak: It’s Whitecloak. Could you put me on speaker?
Tumblr media
Sure...
*Makoto puts his phone in the center of the table.
Whitecloak: I assume everyone’s listening in now, so I’ll keep this brief. I may have found something that would suit your interests.
Tumblr media
We’re listening?
Whitecloak: I can’t go into too much detail, but I found a news story that Fang Inc. covered up. It’s about an infamous, underground reporter, who went missing a short while ago.
Tumblr media
Went missing you say?
Whitecloak: Yes. However, what piqued my interest is that said reporter was planning a...scandalous...episode of her podcast before she vanished. I don’t know enough details about it, but I would request some help to investigate. I believe she may be referring to the company’s collaboration with Zetsubou.
Tumblr media
Really!?
Tumblr media
No, fuck that! There’s no way that something this convenient can just be dropped on us!
Whitecloak: Hmhmhm...That’s Makoto Naegi’s luck for you. I can’t promise anything key, but you know what this means should it turn out to be what I expect, right?
Tumblr media
You grow more useful by the second...
Tumblr media
Hehe...
Tumblr media
If her info is legitimate, Feng would spin whatever was spinnable. If she went after her for it, then whatever’s she discovered is a smoking gun. 
Tumblr media
Which means we need to chance it!
Tumblr media
Right...At this point, it’s all or nothing.
Tumblr media
Thanks Whitecloak. We’ll get back to you.
Whitecloak: I’ll DM you the location I’d like to meet you. Until then...
*She hangs up.
Tumblr media
Could...this actually work...?
Tumblr media
...
*Makoto sticks out his hand.
Tumblr media
We’ll MAKE it work.
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
Yeah...!
*Maya and Makoto have a tough handshake.

Abandon All Hope: Part 2.
[Flashback]
[Freedom Academy, 6 years ago, Final Class Trial]
Tumblr media
I’m the Mastermind, in the sense that the Mastermind is my appointed position in this game.
Tumblr media
My mother, Emilia Feng, and the other NHC executives, are the one’s who set up the Killing Game. I served as their proxy.
Tumblr media
So...what does that mean to us...?
Tumblr media
It means...you’re a captive, just like us.
Tumblr media
What? No! I’m the Mastermind!
Tumblr media
Emilia: Of course. Keep telling yourself that. You always were a disappointment.
Tumblr media
That voice...Mother!?
*The voice coming from Kerokuma isn’t the usual one. It’s more mature and feminine, signifying Emilia taking control.
Tumblr media
Wh-What’s going on!? What are you talking about!? Mom!?
Tumblr media
Emilia: Don’t you understand? You aren’t special. You’re just another useless child. You weren’t actually meant to run this game. You’re just another product made by Fang Inc. and New Hope Corporation. 
Tumblr media
Please...you wouldn’t...betray me...
Tumblr media
Oliver!
Tumblr media
I wouldn’t be so sure of that. We’ve already seen NHC’s willingness to betray their own allies.
Tumblr media
Ash was told that he would get a special role as the traitor. That if he killed someone, his execution would be fake...
Tumblr media
That was a lie. The corporation never intended to let him live.
Tumblr media
I doubt they’ll let any of us live...
Tumblr media
But...she said I would survive...
Tumblr media
Emilia: That was a lie. Even if one of you got away with murder, or only two remained, nobody would survive. Fang Inc. doesn’t leave loose ends. Like you said Oliver, we are invincible.
Tumblr media
So...it’s hopeless...?
Tumblr media
We were set up...just for failure...?
Tumblr media
Even this trial...it’s all a lie, isn’t it?
Tumblr media
Emilia: That’s right. You’re all going to die here.
Tumblr media
But...mother...
Tumblr media
Emilia: I’m not your mother. I made you for a purpose. Motherhood was not that purpose. You exist to be in this game, and you failed miserably. I never should have had you.
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I never quite knew the meaning of betrayal before that moment.
Tumblr media
How...How dare she...!
Tumblr media
She raised you specifically so you could be a subject in HER psychotic game, and the moment you start acting up, she tells you you’re a failed experiment!?
Tumblr media
You didn’t even do anything wrong!
Tumblr media
Hehehe...
Tumblr media
Wh-What?
Tumblr media
Nothing. It just...makes me happy that you’re feeling sorry for me. Not a lot of people would do that.
Tumblr media
Not a lot of people outside these guys I mean.
Tumblr media
I’m confused about one thing. What’s all of this saying that you were gonna die?
Tumblr media
Pretty self-explanatory I think. By the time the Killing Game ended, Emilia was planning to have the rest of us all killed anyway.
Tumblr media
Why!?
Tumblr media
Why else? To cover her tracks.
Tumblr media
Think about it Makoto. Emilia’s Killing Game was different than Junko’s. Enoshima was a loose cannon who didn’t care if she was hated. In fact, she rather got off to everyone’s detest for her.
Tumblr media
Emilia Feng is far too concerned with her public image and reputation. In order to make sure that was retained, she had to make sure the events in Freedom Academy were as hidden from the public as possible. Therefore, she planned to have the students go “missing” after their induction.
Tumblr media
She couldn’t afford to let them live.
Tumblr media
Emilia tried to give it to us straight after that. I believe we brought up before how much of a societal elitist she is?
Tumblr media
“No one in this world cares about you.” she said. “There are billions of humans in this world. You are all just specks. Nobody will miss you when you disappear. I’ll make sure of it.”
Tumblr media
...She’s a monster...
Tumblr media
But then...how did you guys survive?
Tumblr media
Thanks to Oliver mainly.
Tumblr media
Come on, I definitely can’t take all the credit there. I wouldn’t have had a prime opportunity if it weren’t for Maya.
Tumblr media
As flattered as I am, you know that’s not true.
Tumblr media
Ok, why don’t you guys explain what happened, then we’ll be the judge.
Tumblr media
Alright.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hey, Miss Feng! You’d better not be telling yourself that we’re just gonna give up! 
Tumblr media
Emilia: What in God’s name are you talking about!? Aren’t you all done with this pointless drabble? Have you accepted your fates?
Tumblr media
Hell no! We haven’t accepted squat!
Tumblr media
Emilia: Seriously? Isn’t it clear that nobody cares about you?
Tumblr media
That’s wrong! We had friends who died along the way...I know they cared about us...
Tumblr media
Everyone who died...We carry them with us!
Tumblr media
Marie, who had nothing but love in her heart...
Tumblr media
August, who wanted the best for everyone else...
Tumblr media
Kami...she just wanted a world with true justice. One without corruption.
Tumblr media
Even with his weird way of talking, Ricardio was a real smart guy! He loved the world he lived in, and all the people in it!
Tumblr media
Kokona...I cared about her so much...She felt trapped by this world, and just wanted to be free...
Tumblr media
Chet never did anything to hurt anyone. All he ever wanted was to treat the people around him with kindness.
Tumblr media
And Tamako...I don’t really understand her, but in her last moments, she called us her friends...She’s human, just like all of us. 
Tumblr media
Caesar and Victoria...They both went through so much...I hope that wherever they are now, they forgave each other...!
Tumblr media
And Ash...He may have been on your side, but in his last moments, he helped us! 
Tumblr media
He cared about us...
Tumblr media
If ASH can care about us, then...well, that’s just one person, but there were 16 of us! We’re all humans; we bleed the same blood! You may say that in a population made of billions of people, no individual life matters, but that’s not true!
Tumblr media
Every human life is precious! Every human life is something worth protecting!
Tumblr media
Even if the world doesn’t care about us, hell, even if the world is actively trying to STOP us...
Tumblr media
We care about each other, and that’s all that matters! You can NEVER destroy something like that!
Tumblr media
Emilia: So what? That’s it? That proves nothing! That’s not enough to convince me to spare you!
Tumblr media
Hehe...I had a feeling that wouldn’t be enough. But I think I know someone who  might be able to help us. 
Tumblr media
Oliver~ You were planning something, weren’t you?
Tumblr media
Huh?
Tumblr media
Emilia: ...Huh?
Tumblr media
Oh come on, I’m not THAT dumb!
Tumblr media
Think about it! You brought us to the Secret Area which activated the Victory C scenario, and then went totally missing! I doubt you were trying to kill us all, so I bet you were planning something!
Tumblr media
So what were you doing while we were investigating?
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
I...was sending myself an email...
Tumblr media
What do you mean?
Tumblr media
Er...I have this...
*Oliver reaches into their pocket and pulls something out.
Tumblr media
A cell phone!?
Tumblr media
One of the reasons I unlocked the Secret Area was so that I could get to the monitor room...
Tumblr media
I got all the footage from the Killing Game, as well as a bunch of emails and documents kept by NHC, and emailed it to this cell phone.
Tumblr media
So...you have dirt...on Fang Inc!?
Tumblr media
Thats right. Probably enough to take down the entire corporation.
Tumblr media
But...wh-why!? Why didn’t you tell us earlier!?
Tumblr media
Because...
*BING!*
Tumblr media
It just finished sending.
Tumblr media
Emilia: Oliver, what are you doing!?
Tumblr media
Heh! I’m having a teenage rebellion, mother~
Tumblr media
You seriously didn’t think I could tell that you were planning on killing me!? I’m not an idiot!
Tumblr media
I don’t intend to die here! I intend to survive, WITH my friends!
Tumblr media
I left everyone that note, then snuck into the secret area. The fact that you guys didn’t install any cameras there is a pretty major design flaw, don’t you know?
Tumblr media
After putting everything into a folder and sending it to this phone, all I had to do was wait for it to finish uploading.
Tumblr media
So, here’s my proposal...
Tumblr media
Let all of us out, or I’ll send this email to every major AND minor news outlet in the world. 
Tumblr media
Heh. You raised a pretty good Mastermind, right?
Tumblr media
Emilia: Do you seriously think that will work? We can just pay off anyone who tries to publish it.
Tumblr media
Not so fast! The email also includes payments of millions of dollars, to make sure it get’s published no matter what.
Tumblr media
NHC is technically my company. The money they accumulate is basically my allowance.
Tumblr media
I can take down the entire corporation with the press of a button.
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
...?
Tumblr media
Emilia: ...Fine. I guess you really are your mother’s child. I’ll prepare an elevator to the surface. No tricks.
Tumblr media
It better not be. If I see anything even SLIGHTLY suspicious, I’ll press the button so fast, you won’t be able to see it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
That’s basically how it all ended.
Tumblr media
That...woah...
Tumblr media
That was...surprisingly underwhelming. No explosions, no final execution...Nothing?
Tumblr media
Fang Inc. is a business. The only way out of tough situations is negotiation.
Tumblr media
That was more like threatening and blackmail than negotiation. 
Tumblr media
Considering Oliver was also a victim in all of this, we forgave him pretty quickly. Four’s not the only one I let live under my roof for a while.
Tumblr media
There’s one big thing that I’m confused about. And it REALLY doesn’t make any sense to me.
Tumblr media
If you had that email with the money and the blackmail on it...Why don’t you use THAT to take down the corporation? Do you not have it any more?
Tumblr media
No, I don’t. And even if I did, it wouldn’t come in handy.
Tumblr media
Why not?
Tumblr media
Emilia’s had enough time to find a way to counteract my threat. She’s gained more wealth and more power since the Killing Game happened, so my threat against her can easily be covered up.
Tumblr media
Also, I was obviously cut off from money after I left Fang Inc. I embezzled the money from NHC and ran with it. Said money was used to get whatever tech is in this basement, aside from the Fang Inc. stuff, which is mostly stolen.
Tumblr media
Besides, I didn’t initially have a reason to use my “weapon.” After the Killing Game ended, Emilia and I discussed arrangements and cut ties with each other. She left us alone, and we left her alone.
Tumblr media
But that email and the blackmail is the primary reason why we can’t get arrested by Fang Inc. at least not easily. Because I still have the photos, even if I don’t have the money. Taking us to court would result in those photos, and her killing game being exposed.
Tumblr media
There is another reason though, even if the photos are produced publicly, why society won’t act on it.
Tumblr media
Which is?
Tumblr media
Emilia, sneaky bitch that she is, hired the daughter of a high-ranking and important Government member into her company, and made her part of her inner circle.
Tumblr media
If the government acts on Emilia’s actions if she’s exposed...She WILL kill her.
Tumblr media
Ngh...!
Tumblr media
You should’ve sent that email when you had the chance...
Tumblr media
I know...The fact that things have spiraled out of control so badly is my fault entirely. I don’t have any excuse...
Tumblr media
I think you do. And I understand.
Tumblr media
Huh?
Tumblr media
It doesn’t matter if she’s a horrible person, or if she’s mentally insane. It doesn’t matter if she’s responsible for the deaths and fates of countless people. None of it matters.
Tumblr media
She’s still your mum. Even if she only did so for an experiment, and never truly loved you, she still raised you. Taking revenge on her wouldn’t be an easy thing to do, especially not after all that.
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
But let me guess. You made a deal with Emilia to keep off each other’s backs, and she broke it. That’s why you founded the Freedom Foundation?
Tumblr media
Not exactly. We technically broke the deal first.
Tumblr media
Even though we agreed to go our separate ways and never talk of the situation again, Oliver still kept monitoring Emilia. Over time, her schemes, goals and greed got worse, and he told us about it.
Tumblr media
Ugh...that when MAYA decided to intervene. She committed an arson crime on one of the company’s smaller buildings, hoping to bring the company down. Of course, it was stupid and didn’t work.
Tumblr media
Originally, I was planning on doing it by myself. I didn’t want the others to get involved, but...For the sake of everyone’s future, I wasn’t gonna let Emilia get away with what she wanted. But I wasn’t smart, nor resourceful enough to do it by myself.
Tumblr media
Why are you doing this Maya? 
Tumblr media
You know it’s dangerous, and you knew you couldn’t do it alone, but you still tried. And you’re STILL trying.
Tumblr media
What motivates you? Surely it’s not revenge?
Tumblr media
...No. It’s because I made a promise...
Tumblr media
I don’t care if I’m a criminal, or if no one in the world cares about me. And the only thing I want recognition for are my skills with making coffee.
Tumblr media
It’s just...humans have always been their own worst enemy. They’ve always fought, lied and manipulated each other for as long as time can remember. 
Tumblr media
A friend I made in the killing game thought it was useless to ever try to change that. To try to see the world in a positive light...So I made him a promise.
Tumblr media
I made a promise, that I would defend the world! Make it a place where people don’t have to fight! Where people don’t HAVE to hate each other!
Tumblr media
For his sake, and all the other people who were killed by the fighting...I-I PROMISED!
Tumblr media
...I...
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
...I’m sorry...to every single one of you that I pulled all of you in on my bullshit plan. I can’t do this by myself, but no matter what, I won’t stop trying.
Tumblr media
And I don’t want any of you to be endangered.
Tumblr media
You don’t have to worry about that, my guy...
Tumblr media
Huh?
Tumblr media
I can’t speak for anyone else, but personally?
Tumblr media
I’m not going to stop fighting against Emilia Feng...Not until she’s groveling on the ground at my feet! I’m gonna make her SUFFER!
Tumblr media
Kuripa...!
Tumblr media
Me too. I’m sold.
Tumblr media
Taking down Feng would be beneficial for us too. But even if it wasn’t, we can’t let her get away with this. She’s hurt far too many people, including the 6 of you, and your friends who died in that Killing Game.
Tumblr media
She sees humans as nothing more than test subjects. That kind of behavior and attitude cannot be forgiven. We will not let this stand.
Tumblr media
We’re already in too deep regardless. The fact that Zetsubou haven’t caught on to us yet is a miracle. Couldn’t hurt to push a little further in.
Tumblr media
Emilia rants about the world being a terrible and small place, but SHE’S the one who’s making it that way!
Tumblr media
We’re Future Foundation. Getting rid of people like her is literally our job!
Tumblr media
We’ve seen firsthand what corrupt financial powers are capable of. And we’ll help you, no matter what.
Tumblr media
Yeah. I mean, what’s one more for the books?
Tumblr media
You guys...
*Maya wipes her eyes.
Tumblr media
Heh. I love you guys, really!
Tumblr media
It goes without saying, but we’re not about to back out either.
Tumblr media
Yep. In that case...
Tumblr media
Right! Let’s get planning!
*Everyone puts their hands in!

Inside the Mouth: Part 1.
Tumblr media
...
*Clad in the stolen uniform, Makoto stands outside the facility, staring up at the large brick walls.
Tumblr media
So? How do I look?
Komaru: Um...to be honest Makoto, we don’t really know. We don’t have you on camera.
Tumblr media
Oh...Then, how do you know I’m here?
Hunter: Satellite footage. But you’re only showing up as a dot on the screen. It’s reading your heat signature. And the heat signatures of everyone else in the building.
Four: It’s not enough to see you, but it’s enough to guide you through the building floor plan.
Tumblr media
Well, I’ll take whatever I can get I guess.
Byakuya: Emilia Feng’s meeting is gonna begin soon. Enter the building when you’re ready.
Tumblr media
Got it. Should I just walk through the front door or...?
Leona: Are there any rear doors where he’ll draw less attention?
Kouji: What do you think Oliver?
Oliver: Hm...If you go round to the side, there’s a door there that you can enter. Security is there, but it’s not as tight.
Tumblr media
Got it. 
Maya: If we’re lucky, they’ll just ignore Makoto entirely. 
Kuripa: Hey boss! Just try to put on your meek, harmless, oppressed by the system face.
Tumblr media
Not sure what that means, but...ok...
Four: Don’t worry about it. None of the soldiers are gonna notice unless they take a close enough look. So Makoto? Try not to stand out in any way, shape or form.
Tumblr media
Story of my life...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
...
*Makoto enters the building and starts to walk around. He tries to control his nervous breathing. As he steps in, a few Fang Inc. workers inside the building turn his way and glance at him, but they say and do nothing else.
Tumblr media
(Phew...looks like the disguise works...)
Hiro: The disguise works!
Tumblr media
GAH! MMPH!
*Maya’s shout on the other end of the line causes Makoto to be startled. He jumps, which turns everyone’s heads towards him again, but he remains calm and keeps walking until he’s out of eyesight.
Tumblr media
HIRO! You almost blew my cover!
Hiro: Sorry...
Oliver: Be careful! You don’t wanna know what Emilia does with trespassers!
*Makoto starts to climb stairs going up.
Tumblr media
It’s on the top floor, right?
???: Oi!
Tumblr media
!!?
Komaru: Makoto!
*As he climbs the stairs, Makoto is suddenly stopped by another man near him. Upon taking a second look, he realizes he’s carrying a mop and bucket.
Cleaner: I know I’m just the cleaner, but would it kill ya’ to wipe ya’ damn boots before comin’ in ‘ere!
Tumblr media
Oh...I-I’m really sorry!
*Makoto continues climbing up the stairs, and as he does, he passes by two other workers, talking with one another.
Oliver: Makoto wait! I know this is random, but try to listen in on what they’re saying.
Tumblr media
What? Why?
Oliver: Just trust me. I need to gather intel.
Tumblr media
...
*Makoto does as he’s instructed and tries to casually get in closer.
Worker 1: This is a little outside my position, and yeah, I know the director is a genius engineer and entrepreneur, but lately it seems everything she designs is weaponized.
Worker 2: I know. She is a little obsessed, but it’s not like she’s trying to pick fights with people. She’s trying to keep people safe. In this day and age, that’s what we need.
Worker 1: That might be part of it, but if you ask me, I think she just likes that power. Maybe a little too much.
Worker 2: I wouldn’t let anyone else hear you say that pal. In fact, I don’t really wanna hear it either. Director Feng is a great woman. She’s changed the USA for the better.
Worker 1: I didn’t mean any slander by it. I agree. But I also know even power can sway great men and women alike.
Tumblr media
...
*Makoto backs away.
Hiro: Damn. It’s like people are being brainwashed.
Kuripa: Guess there’s all kinds of mind control wherever you go.
Tumblr media
Right...anyway, back to the mission.
*Makoto continues walking, but suddenly stops.
Tumblr media
Um...guys? We have a problem.
Hina: Oh no...what is it?
Tumblr media
The staircase going up is past that door, but there’s a security check in front of it. I need to present some kind of ID to get in.
Tumblr media
But...I don’t HAVE an ID.
Maya: Aw shit! We forgot about that!
Oliver: Don’t worry. There’s a computer room down the hallway behind you. You can use it to create a forgery.
Toko: Just be careful.
Tumblr media
I know...
Tumblr media
Oliver: Hold on! I’m looking at the map, and I’m checking two heat signals outside the computer room door. People are guarding it.
Tumblr media
Well, how am I gonna get around them?
*Makoto peers around the corner towards the door.
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
!?
Maya: He could take them out. He’s strong right?
Kuripa: Yeah boss! Kick their asses!
Four: That’s not safe. If anyone comes down the hallway and sees the bodies, they’ll storm the computer room and catch him.
Hunter: It’s game over if they do that.
Tumblr media
Guys?
Leona: Why doesn’t he just hide the bodies?
Hina: Hide them WHERE? It’s an empty hallway!
Tumblr media
Guys...?
Hiro: It’s not a problem if he just goes in and out.
Byakuya: Why does our solution have to be the most barbaric thing? Surely there’s another way to get them to move.
Toko: Maybe a distraction?
Tumblr media
Guys!
Komaru: Guys, he’s trying to tell us something. What is it Makoto?
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
They’re both flat on the ground...
Four: WHAT!?
Kuripa: You already beat them up!?
Tumblr media
I-I didn’t do anything! They were just lying here unconscious when I got here!
Oliver: Wait a damn second...!
*Makoto hears the sound of Oliver rapidly typing on his computer and clicking their mouse.
Oliver: Oh shit...!
Tumblr media
Oh shit what?
Oliver: Makoto? I don’t mean to alarm you, but I just updated the satellite scan. There’s a heat signature that doesn’t match you, or any registered Fang Inc. members.
Tumblr media
Which means...!
Maya: Someone unknown is in that building with you!
Toko: But...who is it!?
Byakuya: Could it be Zetsubou? Koime!? Otonokoji!?
Kuripa: Maybe it’s fucking Gyalusetsu...!?
Tumblr media
Where...Where are they?
Oliver: They’re...in the computer room.
Tumblr media
...
Komaru: Makoto wait! What if you get captured!?
Tumblr media
Don’t worry Komaru. I got this...
*Makoto carefully opens the door and slowly, carefully, steps inside the computer room.
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
...!
Four: What? What is it!?
Tumblr media
There’s...There’s nobody here.
Hunter: Huh!?
Oliver: That doesn’t make sense! It says there’s a heat signature right here!
Kouji: Check under the desks!
*Makoto frantically checks under each desk.
Tumblr media
No, there’s no one.
Leona: Ollie...are you sure the satellite isn’t malfunctioning?
Oliver: I’ll reboot it. Give me a second.
Toko: While they’re doing that, get that forgery printed Makoto.
Tumblr media
Oh, yeah, sure, let me just magically produce a forged ID pass. Because that’s something I know how to do.
Maya: Gimme a second.
*Makoto hears more keyboard noises.
Maya: Do you have your phone on you?
Tumblr media
Yes, why?
Maya: There should be a wire in one of those computers. Plug your phone into it, and I’ll upload the specs into it. Then all you have to do is print it.
Tumblr media
Alright...
*He plugs his phone in and waits for a short while.
Maya: It’ll take some time for the forgery to finish, so try to hold down the fort until then.
Tumblr media
Alright...I’ll just...
Oliver: Oh SHIT!
Tumblr media
!!?
Byakuya: What!?
Oliver: The scanner wasn’t broken! There really is another trespasser!
Leona: Wh-Where!?
*BANG!*
Tumblr media
!!??
Oliver: ABOVE YOU! THEY’RE IN THE VENTS!
*As Oliver shouts this, Makoto suddenly hears a slam in the ventilation shaft above him, and looks up at a grate.
Tumblr media
...!
*BANG!* *SMACK!* *CLANG!* *CRAAASH!*
Tumblr media
!!??
*After some more pounding, the grate comes away...
Tumblr media
...
*...and a figure starts to drop down from the hole...

Goodbye Freedom Foundation [End of Arc]
Tumblr media
A-Are you serious?
Tumblr media
Very serious, yes. Why so surprised Four? After everything you’ve done for us, this is the least we owe you.
Tumblr media
But...we ditched you right before the climactic fight against Katagiri.
Tumblr media
That was only one slight Maya. Ever since we arrived here, you’ve been nothing but selfless and helpful to us. And given the circumstances, it’s difficult to blame you for that event.
Tumblr media
Hold on though, I’m still confused. What exactly are you doing?
Tumblr media
Alright, let me go over it once again quickly. As you know, due to certain circumstances, we will be returning to Japan today.
Tumblr media
Which means this is where we say goodbye.
Tumblr media
Right...
Tumblr media
However, given how helpful and kind you have been to us, I don’t want this to be the end of our collaborations. Which is why I’m giving you all an offer.
Tumblr media
An offer to become the Future Foundation’s Freedom Strike Force.
Tumblr media
And what does this...Freedom Strike Force do?
Tumblr media
Let’s put it this way. Since we’re based in Japan, but our work expands to the whole world, it’s difficult to work on a global scale without tackling large legal issues.
Tumblr media
And the Big Apple has housed a lot of Bad Apples lately, which we’ve been lucky enough to be around to stop.
Tumblr media
After we leave, we need to make sure someone is still around to look after it when we’re gone.
Tumblr media
As part of the Freedom Strike force, you would be doing basically the same work you would be doing as the Freedom Foundation. However, you’ll receive funding from the Future Foundation, and we’ll help take care of whatever legal quandaries you may come across.
Tumblr media
So like...it’s our regular jam without any of the consequences.
Tumblr media
Just don’t go abusing your power, alright? We’re not gonna back you up if you go robbing banks or whatever.
Tumblr media
Haha. Don’t worry. We’re not the kind of crooks that go robbing banks.
Tumblr media
You aren’t crooks period. Maybe you’re a couple of odd ducks and...I’ll admit, some of you aren’t slick.
Tumblr media
But you get it done. And you’re some of the nicest and most helpful people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting.
Tumblr media
Hina is right. We wouldn’t have been able to survive over here if it wasn’t for your efforts. This is the least we can do.
Tumblr media
The induction won’t be immediate. There is still some fine print to read over which might deter you. I don’t want an answer just yet.
Tumblr media
It sounds too good to be true if I’m being honest.
Tumblr media
Exactly why I’m letting myself convince you first. I’ll send some of our operatives over to Maya’s café when the heat dies down with us. For now though...
Tumblr media
Yeah...I guess this is it, huh...Goodbye, for real this time.
Tumblr media
This isn’t as easy for me as you think, you know that?
Tumblr media
Indeed. As we’ve said already, we owe you a great debt. You’ve not only been true allies, but true friends to us.
Tumblr media
Makes me regret having blown you off initially.
Tumblr media
You won’t see us getting mad at you for that. 
*Byakuya steps forward and holds out his hand. Oliver takes it and shakes it.
Tumblr media
Goodbye Oliver. I hope that what remains of Fang Inc. will be swiftly dealt with and handled properly. And I hope your future is brighter without the demons that loom over you.
Tumblr media
Heh. That was poetic of you.
Tumblr media
What can I say? I’m quite the charmer.
Tumblr media
Suuuure. In any case, thanks to you, I’m sure it’ll all go well. I’m gonna miss you buddy.
Tumblr media
And I’m gonna miss you Kyoko. It was so lucky that we met and...It’s gonna be difficult for me going back to the only sane member of the group.
Tumblr media
I’m the lucky one Four. If you ever come to Japan and...you need a place to stay or something to do...just stop by.
Tumblr media
Hehe...Tears? Really? Ok then...
*Four hugs Kyoko.
Tumblr media
And we’ll see you later too Leona.
Tumblr media
*smack!*
Tumblr media
Ow!
*Makoto kneels for a handshake, but Leona smacks his hand.
Tumblr media
Put that away! We huggin’ in this house!
Tumblr media
Oh!
*She glomps him into an embrace. Makoto returns the embrace.
Tumblr media
Goodbye Makoto. Even if this isn’t the last time we meet, I’m never gonna forget what we did together.
Tumblr media
And I’m never gonna forget your bravery and guidance that saved us against Fang Inc. You’re amazing Leona. Keep it up.
Tumblr media
I will! I really will!
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
Aren’t you gonna say goodbye Hina?
Tumblr media
Yeah I just...I’m trying to think of what I want to say. There’s way too many things I have to thank you for now that I’m going.
Tumblr media
Then let me ask a question. You still not planning on returning to Future Foundation?
Tumblr media
I’m...still thinking about it. I don’t know what I really should do with myself.
Tumblr media
The way I see it, you don’t have to worry.
*Kouji takes Hunter’s hand.
Tumblr media
Future Foundation or no, the people around you are still your friends. Don’t be afraid to rely on them, alright? That goes for us too.
Tumblr media
Yeah. I guess I still have a lot to learn about myself and my life. You taught me that, so...thanks.
Tumblr media
Heh. I didn’t teach you anything. It’s Hunter who’s the GOAT here. No one’s a better moral booster than he is.
Tumblr media
Hehe. Wouldn’t get anywhere without you.
Tumblr media
They are right you know Hina. We’ll always be friends, no matter what.
Tumblr media
It’d be a miracle if I actually found a way to get rid of you, but all things considered, being stuck with you as a friend isn’t SO bad.
Tumblr media
Classic roundabout compliment from Toko. Luckily, I know you sense of humor by now, so I’ll take it.
Tumblr media
Oh, Hina! One more thing! About Yasuhiro.
Tumblr media
Huh?
Tumblr media
I hope you kick Zetsubou’s ass and rescue him like the true leader you are! You got it!
Tumblr media
Y-Yeah. Thanks Kouji. Thanks Hunter.
Tumblr media
Come here you!
*Hunter, Kouji, Toko, Komaru and Hina all get pulled into a large bear hug.
Tumblr media
...C-Canzanilla.
Tumblr media
...K-Kurafto. I just want to know that no matter...what obstacles got in our way...It’s...been an honor serving with you.
Tumblr media
Y-Yeah. I apologize for my...fuckups...to put lightly...a-and...Gh...
Tumblr media
GAHAAAAAAHAAAGH!
Tumblr media
WAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAGH AAHM GUNNA MISH YOU SHO MUUUHUCH!
Tumblr media
*CHOKE!* Grgh! N-Not as much as I’m gonna mish YOU!
*Bawling their eyes out, Kuripa and Maya yank one another into each other’s embrace.
Tumblr media
*sniff* In all seriousness...No matter how much I mess up, or what terrible things I do later down the line...
Tumblr media
Nothing...and I mean NOTHING...is gonna change how much you mean to me, Maya Canzanilla. Not time, nor space, nor being so very far apart. 
Tumblr media
Green-Haired Weirdo’s gotta stick together, right?
Tumblr media
Yeah. Green-Haired Weirdo’s gotta stick together.
Tumblr media
Everyone. The jet has just landed, and they are ready for us to board. I suggest we make haste.
Tumblr media
Oh. I guess that’s our queue. 
Tumblr media
Kuripa wait! Just one last thing!
Tumblr media
Yeah?
Tumblr media
Make sure that...*sniff* Kaede keeps practicing with that spear, ok?
Tumblr media
Heh. Will do!
*With that, the Future Foundation start heading off.
Tumblr media
GOODBYE FF!
Tumblr media
SEE YOU LATER FF! Haha!
Tumblr media
[Freedom Cafe F2, Maya’s room, that same day - 19:00]
*Four and Maya lounge alone in Maya’s bedroom, watching her small TV, the day’s events playing on their mind. Four lazes on the bed while Maya sits on the floor staring at the TV.
Tumblr media
Still thinking about them?
Tumblr media
I mean how could I not? The only other people in my whole life who have impacted me more than Kuripa and the others are...well...YOU.
Tumblr media
Maybe you disagree but...after having gotten to know them, I feel like a completely different person. And...I don’t even remember what I was like before this point.
Tumblr media
For once, I actually agree with your crazy ramblings. You haven’t changed much on your own, but a lot HAS changed since we met the Future Foundation, even though it was a short while ago.
Tumblr media
So are we gonna sign up for this Freedom Strike Force stuff?
Tumblr media
I’ll need to do a once over of the fine print, but I’m leaning towards yes. Any sacrifice is worth it if it means we can continue our collaborations with them.
*Maya climbs onto the bed, 
Tumblr media
In other words, you just wanna hang out more. You’ve changed a lot too. You’re way more open than you were before.
Tumblr media
True. I used to think it wasn’t worth having a story to tell, so I never really made light conversation. I never used to think about anyone else’s lives or perspectives other than my own.
Tumblr media
And now?
Tumblr media
Well, that changed since I met you Maya, but the Future Foundation definitely helped to open my eyes a little more. Now I don’t think I’m too against the idea of making more friends and liking myself a little more. 
Tumblr media
Mhm~ You’re already super cool Four. Get any cooler and I really won’t be able to resist.
Tumblr media
My my Maya Canzanilla, are you flirting with me?
*Maya brushes Four’s face.
Tumblr media
I mean I have been for the past couple of years bella. Thanks for only noticing now~
Tumblr media
...~
*Maya and Four don’t hold back any more, and engage in a deep and loving smooch.
Tumblr media
As for me, I’ve come to accept that I love you, and that I want you to love me even more.
Tumblr media
Hehe...I can’t say no to that offer.
Tumblr media
In that case~
*Maya starts biting Four’s neck.
Tumblr media
Wah-Hey! HEY! T-Take it easy, will you? Moving a bit too fast!
Tumblr media
Oh...you don’t like it?
Tumblr media
No, no, it’s not that, it’s just...I’m not in a sexy mood, I’m in a cozy just-wanna-talk-mood.
Tumblr media
Alright then. You know I can talk all night if you need me to!
Tumblr media
*sigh* You really are something...
Tumblr media
[END OF ARC]
To Be Continued...

Tumblr media
Things have been rough lately, so I hope this helps.
Tumblr media
Anything from you is good Kouji~
