[ Odd... She's willing to forgive him? Normally he would be suspicious of something like that, but from Tsumugi? Maybe she just got tired of waiting. Who could suspect her of anything? ]
What's so important that you'd be willing to owe me a favor?
[ Ha, a race? Had she forgotten how fast he was? And with the bait of some kind of surprise waiting for him? Maybe if he gets there early enough he can even find a place to scare her from. ]
[ He's not sure exactly where she's coming from, but he arrives as quickly as he can, and finding the place empty, he quickly ducks behind the counter to catch his breath and wait. Maybe he'd be able to catch her talking to herself if she gets impatient. ]
[ Ah! There she is! It's hard to make himself keep quiet, and he can't exactly see her after she crosses through where he can see through the gap in the counter. If she's holding something, it passes by his attention for now. He slows his breathing and remains still for the moment, determined to test the limits of her patience. ]
[ He tries to be careful peeking around the entrance behind the counter, and he spots the device in her hand. It does look familiar, but he can't get quite a good enough look at it to determine if that's indeed what it is. Maybe....
He scurries around the counter and jumps out at her, shouting out with his arms raised like a monster. ]
[Scenes filter into Kokichi's brain... scenes of the other students being told about Junko Enoshima and that Kokichi was a remnant of despair... Kaito's performance... the execution... Keebo going nuts... Exisals trying to capture him... the students finding all the hidden rooms, including his own, and all the clues he'd been collecting... the deal with Monokuma... the final trial...
"Wait a minute, Tsumugi."
Shuuichi confronts her.
"...You said you went to the bathroom. The utility closet in that bathroom... has a hidden passageway. ...Around the time Rantaro was killed, Tsumugi went to that exact bathroom."]
[ He stumbles back from the flash, clutching his face, and it's within half a moment that his brain is flooded with a familiar feeling... The sensation of filling in gaps, of memories long-forgotten creeping back into the forefront of his mind. Right.. of course. How could he have forgotten that? And that? And them?! But there were things he didn't remember... that he couldn't remember. No.. it was too late. Too late!
It's an unusual position for Kokichi to be on his knees, wailing in pain. There's a glimmer of hope, however. Shuuichi's voice. Exposing the truth. Yes... Yes, that truth he'd hoped he would reach but Kokichi hadn't known himself.
There's a mighty, painful groan when he finally looks up at her, sweating, his nails having clawed hot red marks down his face as his brain tries to make sense of what she'd shown him. ]
Y-you... what did you do...?
[ His teeth grit, and there's venom in his voice. ]
[more memories... of Tsumugi's denials. Of all the facts being woven by Shuuichi so easily with all the new evidence. Of the monokubs trying to intervene. Of admitting that with so many people it'd be impossible even knowing this to determine the culprit... but now that there were five left, it could only be Tsumugi.
"If I'm wrong... please, refute me. Please, tell us you aren't the Mastermind, Tsumugi Shirogane, the Ultimate Cosplayer!"]
His brain feels like it's being overloaded, and he can't help but cry in pain as memories he couldn't have possibly have ever experienced rush into his brain. He feels like he was there watching the trial, seeing her lies come undone and her crimes exposed. Kaede... she made Kaede take the fall for her.
But even in such a short time, seeing the evidence laid out clearly before him (Or rather, forced into his brain), he can't argue against his beloved's logic. Of course he'd figure it out. There's even a tired, almost manic grin on his face when he looks up at her again. ]
He got you. He got you in the end, you bitch. Ha... I can't believe I ever felt sorry for you.
[There's more... and more... the continued denials, with everyone trying to beg her to say something (except for Maki who was done with this shit, until finally:
"It's Junko Enoshima!"
...then the back and forth before... the real reveal?? The appearance of Junko Enoshima, the 53rd.
Were all the memories of Hope's Peak and Remnants of Despair true?? What was going on?]
[ By the point the actual point she's trying to make hits him like she's tied an anchor to his feet and thrown him in a harbor. But having the gut feeling of not wanting to harm anyone actually validated by this stupid light does... somehow make him feel better.
Still, there's more to unpack there that his already fragile brain is ill-prepared to deal with. ]
F...fifty-third?
What the fuck does that mean? I don't... nngh..! My head feels like it's gonna split open...
Well, yes. I'm hitting you with a lot of memories all at once... just ask questions as you go along if you want.
[The antics of the new Junko Enosima continue until Shuuichi leads them to the obvious: their memories don't match what the Hope's Peak book says. They couldn't have applied to Hope's Peak. Junko didn't create the tragedy by herself. And Kokichi was definitely not a Remnant of Despair.
The flashback lights are all fake. They're for implanting new memories instead of old.
That means all of the Gofer Project was fake, too.
But then, Shuuichi gets the obvious question:
"We have no connection to Hope's Peak, so you can't be Junko... so then, who the Hell are you?!"
[ The memories that aren't his, that could never have possibly ever been his flood his brain and make it ache. He doubles over, clutching his head, screaming into his knees. So much information presented as truth and immediately to lies... he can't handle it. It's too much.
He whines, whimpers, and seems to be breathing heavy. By the time he looks up at her, his nose is actually bleeding from the stress, and his face is red all over. He can barely even focus his eyes for how dizzy he is. The whiplash from suddenly knowing Junko Enoshima like a goddess to knowing she was dead, to knowing what he might have known was a cosplay...
He only manages out a tight sound in his throat before he collapses onto his side, limp and only occasionally twitching as rudimentary signs of life. ]
