Ugh! She's so disgusting! Hope is a promise to ourselves and others for the future! It's the bonds between people and ha, knowing where you stand. It's a thousand things and none of it meant to be a weapon against the person feeling it! [He can't hide anger. It's like a heat haze in the air. He forces it down, slamming the proverbial lid on it so he doesn't hurt Hinata.]

I won't have it! She can't have this world or us. Not ever again. [Except his rage isn't so easily contained. Like a terrible beast in the dark it roars down the link. He has to stop and breath for a few spans before it all settles.] Sorry.

Anyway, there's no doubt she's after something with trying to be a representative. I'll just have to do my best to stop her. I might have the best chance because of what I was and what I am now. Balance isn't just about the positive emotions.

[ Hinata listens with clear intent, although he definitely winces at the anger. If they were communicating normally, he'd be fine. But it's in his head, so he has to let out a heavy exhale, creasing his brow a little. ]

That goes for everyone else here, too. [ Not just "us", as in the members of Ultimate Despair. But "us", as in everyone in this world. ]

I don't disagree with that. I think she's well aware that she won't become a representative, but she's most likely using the system as a means to an end - to gain something out of it.

[Hinata's words spark something in his mind. It races through all the data he has on the subject of Arehtei. Abruptly, everything stills like a pond and faint ripples of calm spread out.] ....I think I know what she's after.

[He speaks slowly, still feeling out his theory and within the mental link nothing can be distorted or twisted.] Yes. I think I do.

As I said before, she's harrassed me in similiar ways. You reminded me, that includes manipulation. She tried to set me on a similiar path of destruction here before I knew anything about her. Now, remember the Arehtei were once like Ultimate Despair - buried deep in despair and dark emotions. Too far down to remember what they once were like and stood for. And if I'm right - they were also murderers.

There are people who fear them and I suspect know some of that history. When the Arehtei appeared again they brought strife and destruction to this peaceful island. They revealed Shaarnath, their sworn enemy survived. People are afraid and a faction is capitlizing on it.

Now is a time that's perfect for her to walk in and stir it up. If these challenges are visible to others and even if they're not...

[He pauses, debating whether he should be entirely honest. He'd come this far. Yet his hestitation is loud and clear in that pause. Should he...?

...yes. If they're to make it as a united front it's all or nothing. His calm sharpens and he speaks,] Even if they're not she can use their fear to her advantage. Much like she's used my confusion over you as a weapon long before you arrived. The thing to remember about Junko is she is always gaining something out of an exhange.

Because even if we don't despair, she will.

[ It's strange that he knows that Komaeda is probably one of the few people who could possibly understand Enoshima's game. Well, perhaps he could too - that is, if he had all his memories back, all his abilities back, as the so-called "Ultimate Hope" that the school cultivated. ]

So you're saying that... what Enoshima is trying to do is provoke Peromei. Making her angry on purpose so that Peromei can attempt doing horrible things to her. Have people see that publicly and cause people to be afraid of the Arehtei by seeing it live, and in person instead of just hearing it from stories.

If it gets out of hand, we might have to find a way to calm the people down. [ Because there are many ways that this can become problematic. ]

I know you would get it. [He replies smoothly. Hinata more than anyone else had understood just like he'd thought he would. Now to lay out his plan.] I've studied some of the data of her agendas from our world. I have a counter for what she intends to do.

I think, I can be a thorn she doesn't expect and mm, I admit I'm going to enjoy it immensely. [He'll be giving her the proverbial finger and visiting with a friend at the same time. It would be a damn good time. Emotional wringer or not.] She gets really angry.

[Considering how she bullies him can Hinata blame him for the giddy glee in his voice? Or the satisfaction rolling through like a pleasant breeze?]

[ He understands it because he has personal experience with Enoshima in person. Well, it was the AI, but who's to say that they're any different? She knows how to build bridges only to knock them down.

Just like they were lego blocks. ]

...

[ But he also can't help but laugh hollowly at Komaeda because seriously? ]

Just don't enjoy yourself too much.

Yes. Well, as nice as sticking it to Enoshima is... [He settles back down fairly quickly. It's actually more comfortable than it has been. There's far less tension in his voice. As if admitting all that eased something in the conversation on his end.]

As I said my goal is to help my friend! The rest is just a bonus. As long as Peromei has someone suitable to help her - I don't care about the rest. [That's the honest truth.]

Everything else can be handled as it comes up.
