We find the synthetic neuroprogram thingy or something like that which details exactly how you could put a helmet on a person and transport them to a virtual world and replace their memories and theyd think it was the real world and it is obviously what happened to us. I KNEW IT I CALLED IT. I mean I called it like two minutes ago, but that still counts as a call, right?
It is so obvious even Hajime cant feign ignorance and goes AHHHHHHHHH! and begins talking about falling into despair. Yeah man sorry all your VR friends are dead but the good news is they might be ok IRL.
Or maybe they werent really friends and are just virtual programs? Theyre all facets of Hajimes personality or friends he used to know or something? Im just spitballing here so I might delete this if it sounds too stupid later.
Oh hey Alter Ego! Hiya old friend. Care to explain whats going on?
Alter Ego doesnt know whats going on. CURSE YOU ALTER EGO WE ARE NO LONGER FRIENDS.
Ok so Alter Ego knows some stuff. Chiaki and Monomi were observers that were supposed to help make this place like a paradise. But then a virus started showing up and doing bad things. They guess the virus was physically uploaded to which Hajime points out the only person who should have access to the computers at the facility would be one of the members of the Future Foundation.
Is it possibleone of the six survivors from the first game is a traitor and the other five left alive now are the other survivors in this simulation? Does that make any sense? No. But maybe? Nah never mind.
Alter Ego begins explaining the limitations of the virus and then Monokuma shows up to go er wait maybe I shouldnt let it do this and glitches out the game. Hey man maybe if you dont want the AI explaining how to beat you maybe you shouldnt have let me talk to it in the first place.
Now were talking to a different red mysterious outline but by the hair I can tell is it was Makoto. No other AI program would have hair like that.
He explains how the virus took over and hes SUPER DUPER sorry that every one is dying. Theyve been forced to watch it and dont know how to stop the virus. Thanks guy, super helpful talk.
Apparently they werent sure the program was even going to work even without the virus but needed to put us in it to save us. Yeah probably shouldve run some tests on lab rats to make sure it didnt become a murder simulator first, chief.
There is a way to defeat Monokuma! We need to enter the forced shut down sequence but to do that we need to have half the people and in order to do that we need to somehow get that number asfk:jaejdiaoc(circle)adfoie(plus). Hey can you repeat that last part I lost you at the circle.
Even Monokuma seems confused and doesnt know what happened. He asks and I LIE LIKE A LIAR LYING PANTS. Take that meanie. Maybe I really am the Ultimate Despair Pt. 2.
CLASS TRIAL TIME WOOO. Er I mean Graduation Exam time also woo.
There is this weird spiral of numbers and I sit there like an idiot for at least a minute because I thought it was a cutscene. Turns out Im supposed to walk. Oops.
While walking through the endless abyss I clean up my pets poop. Just because the world is a lie should my tamagachi have to live in filth.
Whoa so this tamagachi is a program within a program. I think were hitting Inception levels of nonsense now.
Ok so we can either Graduate or Repeat. Seems like a simple enough choice. I choose the one where Im not trapped in a murderous computer game, thanks.
Monokuma wont let us graduate unless we actually go through with the trial though. It invalidates Kazuichis great idea of just throwing up deuces and smashing graduate immediately.
Buthe has to let us graduate and its a formality? Im a bit confused about the rules here. Seems like the game is desperately trying to come up with a reason that we cant just hit graduate immediately so lets just go with that and move on.
Monokuma calls mini-Nekomaru a toy and Akane gets very mad. Yeah! How dare you insult her sentient vibrator that way!
Monokuma makes one last comment about killing Akane (as is tradition) and we go on to the final preparation segment. OH BOY ITS HAPPENING.
