OH YEAH HARUTO SAID WE SHOULD TRY CONTACTING HIS GRANDPARENTS AT SINCE THEY CAN BE HELPFUL IN THE MISSION
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Wait, really?
Tumblr media
So it really is Haruka-kun and Asuna-chan?
Tumblr media
Man, I haven't seen them in so long! Maybe we can finally catch up after all this time...
Tumblr media
Wait, so...who are they?
Tumblr media
When Hiroshi and I were in high school, those two were our closest friends. We'd do everything together: go on double dates, festivals, school events, one time we went to an onsen.
Tumblr media
Life kinda took us in different directions, and we eventually fell out of touch.
Tumblr media
Wow, huh...
Tumblr media
Surprised I had a life before you? Crazy, right?
Tumblr media
Jokes aside, I'm sure I have their number somewhere, and if not I can find it.
Tumblr media
Wait so, you guys were friends in high school, and they're also the grandparents of our son-in-law.
Tumblr media
Maybe. I don't know if they have kids, but if so, we may have the other fourth of this equation.
Tumblr media
I'd also like to see if maybe I can help connect everyone else's family trees as well. Maybe that could help us learn something?

Yeah I can see why this really disturbs you, but hey, no matter what happens, your loved ones will be there to help
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yeah, Keiko-san and I talked to her earlier this month, remember? We helped talk about our issues.
Tumblr media
Sayuri-chan's a sweet girl.
Tumblr media
Isn't she? She's the cutest!
Tumblr media
Sayuri...Kaede and Erika...
Tumblr media
She was angry and resentful before, and yeah, we saw the bad future where it all goes wrong.
Tumblr media
But imagine what we'll see when all this is over. We'll get to see our little girl grow up and have kids of her own.
Tumblr media
...Yeah. We will, huh?
Tumblr media
I don't mean to derail this at all, but there's something I wanted to ask. They said her name's Akamatsu Kaede, right?
Tumblr media
Yeah? Sayuri-chan knows someone named Akamatsu Haruto in 2030.
Tumblr media
Funny, Hiroshi and I used to know someone with that name.
Tumblr media
It couldn't be the same family, could it?
Tumblr media
Mom, we've had plenty of major coincidences since this started. It 100% could be them.

Just because Review Anon isn't here right now, don't think we aren't willing to break out the clipboard and beat it over your head again! Honestly Hajime, the fact that you're so concerned about taking a life, even the life of someone as awful as Wallpaper-chan, should be proof enough that you're nothing like her, or Kamakura-Crack Idea Anon
Tumblr media
Ow, okay! I'm listening now, I promise!

*hugs Hajimemes*
Tumblr media
...Thank you.
Tumblr media
I'm sorry for being difficult, this is just...still a lot to deal with all at once. But, we've got ways to handle this. It'll be okay, I'm sure of it.

Shit like this is why we're setting you up with a 2030 therapist. They could probably explain it better than we ever could; as well preventing you from getting arrested or them becoming the Basilisk's next victim
Tumblr media
...You're probably right about that. Don't need me using up any more resets, do we?
Tumblr media
...Sorry, that wasn't as funny as I thought it'd be.

So what... are you seriously suggesting that you want to keep Shirogane alive, have Masa waste decades of her life to hunt her down and that Sayuri and her kids hate you? I'm sorry Hajime but it's already been decided, Shirogane is going to die like it or not and if you can't accept it then sit this out, you can't be trusted on this mission and I fear your going to let that women go so for the sake of the mission - your sitting this out.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
...You're right. You're right, I just need to stay out of this.
Tumblr media
They can handle it, it'll be their responsibility, and they're okay with having that responsibility. Maybe they won't have to do it, and they can get Megumi-san to help us again.
Tumblr media
It's fine. It'll all be fine. Everything's going to work out, somehow.
Tumblr media
Haji?
Tumblr media
Yeah?
Tumblr media
Everyone's doing this because they want the future to be better. Because they believe in you too. Don't forget that, okay?

I know that you're saying all this because of your trauma, but by God that I want to shake you like a maracas to see if those braincells of you start working again, Hajime.
This is real life, not a videogame where you can get the Golden Ending where nobody dies if you try to be nice enough, people will die no matter what to do, and that is what it should happen!
Hajime, you're human, you can't control everything in the universe and make it behind to your will, and you can't save everyone, even in the best timeline, but that doesn't mean that you will become again the hopeless murderer with a massive bystander syndrome that you were as the Steering Committee's, and Junko's, lab rat.
Trying to force the world to give you the perfect videogame ending you want is just going to break you more than you already are once reality hits you back.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
Hajime, can I ask you a very simple question?
Tumblr media
You don't want Shirogane to do all this, do you?
Tumblr media
No. God, no.
Tumblr media
Then sit this one out. I think it'll be better for you that.
Tumblr media
You don't have to get involved, right? Nothing they said implied you had to.
Tumblr media
...No, I...I guess I don't.
Tumblr media
So don't. Stay at home, work on getting a job, hang out with Hibiki, just do something else.
Tumblr media
Something other than this, sitting around and blaming yourself for everything. That's not going to help with anything, especially not this.
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
...Sorry. I'll just...I'll stop now.

Stop it man! You're sounding exactly like the shitty politicians who passed the death of personality law, I'm so tired of hearing this bullshit of "when they die, they're gone forever" like yeah that's the goddamn point dude!
Tumblr media
Do you even understand what it's like? Watching that happen to someone?
Tumblr media
...Fuyuhiko once told me something: the first time you kill someone, you learn you can sleep at night afterward or you can't. You're either haunted by it, or you're not.
Tumblr media
...And I haven't slept well in a long time.

Seriously though, Hajime, I don鈥檛 hate you for this. I think we need to deal with Shirogane, but you aren鈥檛 a bad man for wanting a better alternative. Nor are you a bad man if we kill Shirogane.
Tumblr media
...Sitting out makes me feel like a coward. But participating...feels even worse.
Tumblr media
And I know...I know we made a bad decision once, with you-know-who, but...at least we can come back from that one. At least we can solve that.
Tumblr media
When somebody dies...they're gone. Forever. That's something you can't ever undo, no matter what.
Tumblr media
Have you ever thought about that? You're taking an entire person out of this world. Someone with a life of their own, who could've lived for years or even decades...before you pulled the trigger.
Tumblr media
Chiaki told me Storm knew that. And...he thought it was the best feeling in the world.
Tumblr media
...And I hate the idea that you could do it, and then the world is a better place. That's just not an idea I'm comfortable with.

No one is asking you to get rid of your morals, Hajime, God no. It's just that, there are going to be times when you will have to compromise with your morals. Especially since we've *already seen what will happen if we let Shirogane live.* It's awful to go through that, but that's just how reality is sometimes. It's all shades of gray, and not every solution is going to have a nice, pretty bow to it. I just hope by the end of it, you'll be able to make peace with it eventually.
Tumblr media
...How am I supposed to make peace with any of this?
Tumblr media
I stick to my morals and people die. I drop those morals and people still die! So what the hell am I supposed to do?! Just nothing?!
Tumblr media
...Hajime, I meant what I said before. I'll kill her for you if that makes things easier.
Tumblr media
Same here.
Tumblr media
That's not what I want at all!
Tumblr media
Just...why? What's the point?
Tumblr media
What's the point of having any sense of morality if it's just gonna get dropped when things get serious? When we need it most, it's almost always the first thing that gets thrown away.
Tumblr media
Sticking to your principles should never be more important than your life. Especially not now.
Tumblr media
Hajime...these people are the ones who started all this. Shirogane is targeting our family- all these families- because of what Enoshima wants.
Tumblr media
It's not immoral or wrong to defend yourself against people who want to kill you.
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
...I want to believe you. But...I just can't accept that killing is ever okay. Not after what I did before...
Tumblr media
You're not a killer, Haji. We know that.
Tumblr media
I don't ever want to go back to that. I just feel like, even by agreeing to this...I'm making it happen all over again.
Tumblr media
And now...now I understand why Nakamura hates the phrase "for the greater good."
Tumblr media
I know, nothing I'm saying makes any sense. I'm just...still trying to process all this...

What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

That no matter what I do, people die.

Hi guys ^^
Are you telling me that Erika was in Kaede place during the killing game?
*On the car ride back*
Tumblr media
Among a lot of things we learned back there.
Tumblr media
...
Tumblr media
Haji?
Tumblr media
Hajime? You've been quiet this whole time. Are you alright?
Tumblr media
...No. I'm not.
Tumblr media
I'm not trying to diminish anything here, but Hajime, isn't the whole point of all this to change the future?
Tumblr media
If you stop Shirogane, then none of that will ever have happened, right? So...does it really matter?
Tumblr media
Yes. It does matter.
Tumblr media
I just...I hate this. I hate everything about this. I hate that we really don't have a choice here, that it's all we can do to stop Shirogane...
Tumblr media
...I hate her even more...
Tumblr media
And I hate myself for being stupid enough to think that...
Tumblr media
That what? Killing is wrong?
Tumblr media
...That things could ever actually change with me.

Oh, oh! One last thing before we go. Could you try to set up Hajime and Nikei with a 2030 therapist? If there's one thing we've learned from this whole endeavor is that they both need help for the issues badly. By talking with someone from the future, it would ensure A. They get the help they need without getting arrested. And, B. ensures the therapist themself does not become snake food
Tumblr media
We're already working on that.
Tumblr media
After this mission, I'm certain it's a necessity.

There's no shame if you decide to sit this one out.

Tumblr media
...No. I'm onboard.
Tumblr media
As if I didn't have enough reasons to hate this bitch, now I find out what she does to my granddaughter...
Tumblr media
She needs to die. Painfully.
Tumblr media
Just point out where we need to go and we'll be there.
Tumblr media
I may not like this, but if it's the only way, then we'll do whatever's necessary.

Tumblr media
Well? Isn't this what you wanted? I'm surprised you didn't say a single damn thing that entire presentation.
Tumblr media
Or are you going to complain some more, since apparently nothing ever satisfies you?
_______________________________________________
Tumblr media
Huh? Well, I...um...well, I wasn't going to... I was just...
_______________________________________________
Tumblr media
Do you at least see ? This is exactly why I didn't tell you all until now, because I knew this was going to cause problems, and that this is all you'd be thinking about afterward.
Tumblr media
I knew Hinata-san was going to take this especially hard. It's not like I thought I knew better than you all, I was trying to keep you all motivated. Because I knew this was going to be a difficult mission even at the best of times.
Tumblr media
Did you think I held off because I liked Esumi-san better than you? Would you have preferred being the sole survivor of this organization, and then spending 40 years hunting down Shirogane?
Tumblr media
Would learning all this early on, before you could do anything about it, would that have improved anything for you, Yomiuri-san? Do you honestly believe that?
_______________________________________________
Tumblr media

Tumblr media
...No. Y-You were right.

Tumblr media
Not everyone keeps secrets out of spite. Sometimes, the truth really is better saved until you're prepared for it.
Tumblr media
I hope you can take that lesson to heart.
Tumblr media
Whatever role you feel suited to on this mission, I wish you the best of luck.

Considering the tight deadlines the group has had before, I think a week is enough to take down this parasite

Yeah...it's plenty of time.
Tumblr media
And that means you guys should get on it. Do whatever you need to do.

Right now, I just...I wanna go home. I have a lot to think about.
