give your friends a surprise

Who: EVERYONE
What: FAMILY MEETING
When: 8/4, right after school closes.
Where: Student council room
Warnings: Eventually, probably.

["If my friends back home were acting like this, I would've already locked them in a room and forced them to figure out their feelings."

the job puts all of her considerable superspy skills to the test. she knows where every normal kid's locker is; it's easy enough to slip the note into each that morning. if it's someone who she knows would be unable to read the note, she tells them its contents, but keeps her own involvement out of it. lies of omission don't count.

the note reads:]


I have very important information about this place. Please come to the student council room after school ends today.

- Nao Sato


[and if the text looks just a bit girlier than you'd think she'd write, hey, you don't know her. she's got layers.

either way, it's a pretty interesting proposition: the student council room door is, for the first time in seemingly ever, wide open. anyone can walk inside - and, hopefully, most everyone should. because it's only when Stephanie thinks that she's got enough of them inside that she actually enters the room, shutting the door behind her.

click.

it locks. she grins, spins the key on her finger, and slips it into her pocket.

"How are you supposed to do that with grownups?"

the exact same way, she's decided.]


We haven't had any meetings since, um. Well. The last one. But, I'm pretty sure nobody has no more murders to report, so it shouldn't be too bad, and we can all just focus on the most important task: Getting along! All of us are on the same team, but most of us barely even know each other; some of us even hate some of the others! [SHE SAYS, LIKE SHE DOESN'T ACTIVELY DESPISE KOKICHI] So, I figured we could spend the evening fixing that problem. Play some games, talk about stuff we've discovered since the last time...

And, maybe, if everybody does a really good job, I'll unlock the door!

What if we're the actual fake reality, ah... don't worry, I believe in a way that's you testing your own hope.

( though, if they can be killed by add's hands... that means they're pretty weak, but komaeda sighs at the thought. )

To think you'd protect them from their own destruction, to avoid seeing yourself fail... there's nothing wrong with that.

[that gets a confused stare out of Add. he really shouldn't be surprised by anything Komaeda says at this point, and yet...

he opens his mouth like he wants to say something, hesitates, then looks away. it's... uncomfortable, for some reason. he's not afraid of people knowing about his crimes. he might've even been playing it up a little when he admitted to it. but having someone react not with disgust, or horror, or pity, but... understanding? is this understanding? is there anything he can say that Komaeda won't take in stride?

he sighs, a hint of frustration in his voice.]


You're a weird one.

I'm just interested in how far your hope goes, you told me before... you have nothing like that.

( so to hear that they've killed their own clones one by one, because of their failures could mean that add couldn't stand seeing that for himself. maybe it was too late, perhaps that's why he didn't tell them how to avoid their mistakes, and why he saw them as failures. or is it that he hates himself that much, which, even komaeda tries to kill himself every so often without looking back — it can be a shared feeling. )

Yet, I learn something new about you. It's fine, with the way you look at me... it can be our little secret.

I don't.

[stated plainly. "hope" is for those who have a future, not those who seek to erase it.]

You're making weird assumptions... and it's not a secret if you say it out loud. I'll overlook it since it's untrue anyway. Go bother someone else.

( acting as if komaeda has a future, but it's fine, his mouth'll part into a small 'o' and then he'll smile afterwards. )

Whatever you say, Add-kun! Tell me more stories about your descent... what sort of other events transpired there?

( he'll sit down in front of him... tell, tell! talk to him about that hope... )

... You're annoying. Stop talking to me.
