I need an opposing team, Arisu-san. Hm... If that's the case, I'm sure we can come to an agreement. It might even be fun for Arisu-kun to watch.

( besides, it's just not about his students. )

If he was interested, would you be willing to help me make it happen? It's not about those in the debate, it's also about those outside of it as well to see the people who represent their school debate it out! It's been awhile since the student council has strut their stuff.

( all they've done is clean up bodies, too. )

No.

[ Hiro can find other modes of entertainment, he doesn't need a debate for it. ...He would be interested, though. ...She still has to put her foot down. ]

The student council isn't a circus that puts on a show every month or something ridiculous like that. Our work is done behind the scenes. There's no need to make a spectacle of it. If you have nothing worth my while, then leave.

...Just once, Arisu-san. It'll be in a room, with a few peers, and it won't take that long. As a philosophy teacher, I'll even extend my services if you'll have them.

( please, he'll even give hiro philosophy lessons or something... she has to love her brother enough for this. )

It won't be every month, it's just a one time thing. Hm... If there's someone you ever wanted to debate against as well, I'll make it happen.

( come on, she gets to argue, and no one can say she's wrong, and it can be in public. or whatever they do it at, komaeda has to fight hard here. )

...I must have something, everyone is unique within this school, aren't they?

[ What does philosophy services even entail? How's philosophy lessons supposed to help her brother survive, especially since he can't exactly talk his way out of ...philosophical ordeals or whatever. ]

Everybody is unique, I won't argue that. What makes you unique, Komaeda? What is something of importance only you can offer? You are the one proposing, so the onus is on you to make that claim.

( philosophy isn't just voice, it's words to remember, motivation to push someone forward, quotes that can be used to be five or six steps head of another person.

saving a life... is too philosophical. )

...Unique is a broad term, I'm the one coming to you right now asking for assistance, Arisu-san. I understand you're inclined to reject my proposals, and requests, but I'm asking you to trust me just this once.

( what can he offer aside from the norm that's making sure everyone has a good time, letting her see everyone debate their hearts out. he's so used to sacrificing himself for his goals, he doubts that's of any use to her. )

I want to make an impression on these students, and as a teacher, it's my duty to do it by any means necessary. You want the best for this school, if you didn't, you wouldn't say things like you're working behind the scenes... I understand, I do the same thing if it means I can help those make it day by day, no matter how hard things get.

( he hums, thinking it over, wondering if that even matters. normally people who are passionate are able to have meaning behind their words, and komaeda's not a selfish person, so he thinks about others. ) ...Besides, only me and you can make this happen, and no one else. That makes it different and unique, so won't you allow the student council attend, if not for me, just for them?

( he'll even offer his voice, sea witch style. )

You have long since lost your right to be trusted, Komaeda.

[ She's not stupid, don't insult her ]

If you want to make an impression, then participate yourself, against your own students. And work on your persuasive arguments, because this conversation is not swaying me.

...Ahaha, I understand.

( he's why she's in office??? what is the PROBLEM. though, that was too much to ask, only certain people trust him, but she's smart for not doing it. )

That's fine and dandy, Arisu-san. Why don't you want to join, "I don't want to," isn't actually an answer, I gave a reason as to why I wanted you to take part with your group. At least give the same amount because your negativity isn't swaying me, though... we can be at a stand still. Are you afraid you'll lose to them...?

( besides, it's not like maya had the abilities to be student council head without a little killing. )

[ She would have been in office next year if he didn't murder?? A position opening up was happenstance, an opportunity she had seized, she will not thank Komaeda for that unintentional consequence. ]

I don't want to. And you're not the one who needs to be swayed.

[ Like, he can't make her? And if she did, she would only be participating begrudgingly, and there's no hope in that. ]

Tell me the real reason why this is so important to you.

( listen but what if she had died before then? you never know with komaeda's head when it's his turn to murder again, you never know she WAS the one who lowkey snitched on him....................... and made saihara start to suspect the ultimates. )

Hm... I can see that argument.

( but he's going to sit in front of this door and wait for her too. )

Hope is why this is important to me, to see these students persevere or overcome their fears, to feel they can come head to head with the higher power... if they're weak, they'll all be killed, and the Student Council is the authority here. I want to help their budding flowers bloom into something... everyone's hope is different. Seeing them make something of themselves, even if it's just a battle of words against the Student Council, don't you believe there's something to be gained from that? In their perspective, and perhaps you can see how they've changed from the start of the year until now.

( it's hope, komaeda can't lie and say it's not when he wants to push them forward, motivate them, strip them of their worries — there's not many ultimates here to be their light, exposing the path that they walk, and so they need to do it themselves. all komaeda can do is give a little push in the right direction, and he's curious. )

The Team Leader has found the students he wants to use, and even I know Ishimaru-kun will give them a challenge, with you too; I even have certain students that will make things interesting if you're willing to have them. You can even approve the topics that can be used, I won't overstep if you're giving me you and the council's time.

[ He says the word "hope" and she stares up at the ceiling. Counts down from ten. ]

Essentially, the student council is a common enemy for the student body to band against, is how you see it.

[ She really should have told him to tell her in ten words or less, but he would still find a way to prattle on about hope. She gets it— doesn't mean she has to agree with it— but she understands that for the majority of the students here, the enemy is each other or the school, the former breeding distrust and malice between people who are all in the same boat, and the latter too vague of a concept to find anything concrete to fight back against.

The student council makes for the perfect scapegoat. But not a willing one. ]

"The student council is the authority here." Do you truly believe that? I'm surprised you have not needled Ishimaru over how the council operates.

...No. You're supposed to help them.

( he sighs, crosses his arms as he thinks about the situation. )

The things you do aren't supposed to cripple them, I realized that when we spoke before. "She was weak," and "She wouldn't have made it," but you're capable of caring, that's why you do this.

( natsume spoke to him about a few things, how maya won't dabble in romance, how she sees everything shortlived about being with others which cuts off her attachments while she keeps her heart closed and distant. she's the opposite of rokkun, and idiot who plays the field to keep going, lies and manipulates and...

... )

You might be an enemy to the school, but it's not that I see an enemy. I only see hope and stronger hope, and whoever had the strongest will show.

( yeah, he said the word again, but he's honest with his claim, he doesn't see the student council as the "evil" but he doesn't see them as the "good". if that's the case, he wouldn't have told rokkun before that he wondered if the student council's hope would stop him. )

...Hm. Ishimaru-kun. ( komaeda doesn't bother ultimates, but... ) I trust him, so I didn't see the need, ahaha, Arisu-san, some people find this place as the authority, the last line of their defense, having such a title isn't so bad. Even if it's for those delusional.

[ All this is telling her that Komaeda doesn't know anything about the student council, and she isn't going to be the one to invite that conversation. ]

If you want to debate with the student council members, seek them out and ask them individually. I have no interest.

( STOP IF SHE WANTED HIM TO KNOW SHE'D HAD LET HIM ON THE COUNCIL?

anyway, )

I'll give you a set date and time, the people you'll have on your team is Ishimaru-kun, Sakasaki-kun, Akehoshi-kun, and Amami-kun!

( he hums, he's ignoring her now. ) Arisu-kun can join too. You're the Team Leader.

[ HE HAS NO BUSINESS KNOWING let him live in his hopeful delusional world

anyways she goes back to doing her work because this isn't even student council ]

( sits by her door, scratch scratch. )

[ stares out the window wondering if she would be able to survive the drop ]

( probably not, is that a death wish she's willing to take? :]

komaeda's waiting. )

[ Tempting, but no, she's not stupid.

She makes him wait another forty two minutes until she's finished doing her work, and then opens the door, hoping he's sitting or lying on the ground so she can stomp on his foot on the way out. ]

( hehehe, and no, she's already did a little steppy on him, and instead he's holding a slip of paper with names, because she's got to get her team together by asking them.

low key look at him, getting her and her friends together... sighs. )

Just in case you forgot, and I'll ask your brother to join too, okay?

( because he seems like he'd enjoy this. )

[ stop! she doesn't take the paper! goodbye! ]

He won't join.

[ He might be interested and want to join, but what we've learned in this game is that a sister's words are law. ]

( THE WAY SHE SAID HE WON'T JOIN AND NOT WE WON'T JOIN. you know what, not even gunna push it, but just gunna smile reaaaally wide. )

Arisu-san, we should eat together again.

( you know when he's not grading papers. )

[ stopppppppp ]

No we shouldn't.

[ "eat together" more like Komaeda looking like he hasn't eaten in months and Maya making him eat vegetables. ]

Goodbye, Komaeda.

Hehehe...

( someone's happy and excited, he even stops moving as he watches her walk away... is this what victory feels like.

hehe. )
