...take their place, be a 'hero' and lose the chance to continue protecting your sister...or reuniting with her.

[beathollow]

... Schneider- do you... also have a sister?

[unweathered]

...had. Eleven of them.

[Take from that what you will]

[moodwrecker]

...

The police... right?

[unweathered]

Mmm...[Schneider keeps smiling, unfaltering. Is it because she doesn't care? Or because that's all she knows how to do now? ] If it were just that, things would be simpler.

[beathollow]

... I'm sorry.

( she won't bother with pretty words, not for this. )

[...headpat]

Use that information to understand Mister Teal a little better, hm?

[destage]

...Are the only real options here to let Shin-san die or let this happen?

[There has to be something they can still do. Maybe they can properly fight, but...]

[metagame]

Joshua said something that caught my attention.

See the collars they all seem to be wearing?

I know these are memories... but can we somehow remove them?

[He knew Wardrobe Lady had rancid vibes.]

[moodwrecker]

Will it even let us? What if it kills them or something if we try?

[destage]

I wouldn't be surprised if they did that--games like these, they...

They have ways of making sure people cooperate, and if this is really the case, we could be doing more harm than good right now.

[...]

If we could just properly fight, it'd be easier, but who knows what'll happen to the rest...

[metagame]

Does Shin still wear that collar now?

[destage]

I can't imagine that he's found a way to take it off. Those things don't seem like something you could get out of easily...

[...]

What are you suggesting?

[metagame]

We need to summon both colors of Shin.

[destage]

[...

You know what--]

Do you have a plan for how to do that?

[Sayaka's not completely unopposed, but she's. Curious. If this stunt doesn't get him killed, maybe they can do something like that...]

[metagame]

The red one appeared when our votes tied, and the teal one appeared when we died in the context of a game.

We don't have collars, so when we vote the minority we can't die.

I wonder what will happen if we all abstain?

[finalmix]

Do you have a failsafe in case the magenta one tries to take over? Teal version seems a little bit of a pushover when you put them side by side.

[ magenta did try to stab him, so. ]

[beathollow]

... Shin must have felt even worse than we do now. We're... at least safe behind the curtain, so to speak. It's horrifying, but... we're mostly okay. He wasn't. And it wasn't going to end.

( but she still... )

[destage]

I bet he did. I can't even...

[...]

This is worse than the game Monokuma gave us, honestly. I'm not sure what we can do to help that isn't going to just hurt him more in the end.

...Or his sister, if she even knows...

[beathollow]

I know.

But at the same time- I... I know it's probably a bad idea.

But- I can't keep backing down from the right thing, just because of backlash. I can't. Or how could I face others I love again?

[destage]

...You have a point. I'm--I'm sorry for being so uncertain.

[She actually liked Sou. Still does, honestly, even if she continues to be confused.]

...But if we can defy it for him, we at least should.

[beathollow]

Its okay. I think if anyone will understand, it'd be me.

...

I want to keep trying. I...

... I know this route will end poorly. Because he thought it would, I'm sure. But I want to.

[destage]

[Sayaka pauses for a moment. She feels uncertain, but...

She reaches out and if allowed, places a shaky hand on Mafuyu's shoulder in support.]

...Then let's see what we can do for him. Together.
