I can't exactly say that I completely agree with Kamukura appearing here physically. At least, not as a separate entity. Even though I still don't remember everything from that time, the truth is that the memories that were supposedly erased by the program weren't exactly... erased. Not for me. I suppressed them by my own hand.
The proof is that I forced myself to forget that I was in the Reserve Course to begin with, although I had dreams that spoke about it. I wanted to deny that fact. Also, while I was in the program, I was the only one - as far as I know - that recalled things from the real world while I was in it.
This world is the same. I've been remembering things about my life as Kamukura Izuru, too. Some of it is still blurred out, but I remember vague things. Like the killing life on the islands wasn't the first one I'd participated in. [ Ah, yes, what fun it is to remember that. ]
But if parallel worlds exist, it might be possible for him to show up -- yet I don't know. I can't be 100% sure. We might have to do a little research on that.
[ Because he needs to know this information, it's important. ]
In any case, we need to figure out a way to deal with Enoshima. I don't want her to destroy this world just like she tried to destroy ours. But I'm assuming that what Monokuma was referring to must have been the information in regards to us being Ultimate Despairs.
I'm no psychiatrist, but I can assume that "someone like you" was definitely referring to the idea that you hated despair more than anything else; seeing that file would definitely harm you more than anyone else. But that's just my assumption. Unless you had any other ideas, in regards to that.
I have a shinai on me, in case we need it. I'm not good at using it, but it's something. I'll learn. Or remember. Whichever comes first. I did find the teachers though.

My idea relies on my accounts of Junko here. I don't think that room was designed to destroy a specific member, but she likely assumed I would clear it. Whether I pursued who got the file or not, didn't matter. She just wanted to see what would happen among us.
We're not the only ones battling her. The Enforcers here keep an eye on her. Most of us do. Originally Mukuro was their source of information on her. All that's left is us, and Kirigiri to provide that now.
This aside, I suspected as much about your memories. I believe I told you the memory tree reveals lost memories as well? I've recovered some of my own. Part of my time as, 'Servant'. I didn't keep the petals, but I do keep ones of memories relevant to my research and investigation.
Which leads me to one last thing. Your arrival sped it up, but I've been looking into Piphron. As Arehtei go, he's too old. Being corrupted is keeping him alive, and he will likely die if restored. Thras doesn't know what will happen if he does. Or what will happen to his aligned.
This is all I have right now. But I'll keep looking.

To be honest, while that file would have probably devastated any one of us if we saw it, the ones who would be the most affected by it would be either myself or you. If Enoshima's goal was to create conflict and despair amongst us, wouldn't she give it to someone who would inflict the most?
I think she probably thought that you were one of the more "interesting" choices though, honestly... but it's possible that she might have been saying that for another reason, too. For someone else to have fun. [ It isn't as if he doesn't remember what he was told... to have fun in that world..... Ha. Hahaha. ]
Corrupted in what way, though? [ DOES HE HAVE TO WORRY. He's pretty sure he has to. ]

I forgot how little you know about this world at present. I believe I mentioned the Calamity to you before. Thras also referred to what caused this world to nearly die as an 'emotional disturbance'. Arehtei have two sides to their aspects. For example, Peromei is both Hope and Despair. They can't help which side they're on but in the distant past something happened to throw them deeply into the darker side.
When an emotion peaks among us it calls one of the still 'corrupted' by their darker side Arehtei to us. We undergo a challenge of sorts to restore that Arehtei or minimize the damage they cause while unable to control themselves. Piphron is one of those still left out there and as I said. Arehtei have finite lives and the next Arehtei of that aspect is born to take their place.
Usually.
Right now with the world as it is. There's no telling what will happen. The influence of a corrupted Arehtei can be devastating. You can be influenced without knowing it. Those aligned to Sosyne. Some of them raged out of control when she came. I've seen the memory of what Piphron did to those who betrayed him.
That's one of the reasons I urged you to discover and master Dunamis. You need to be able to resist his influence. I can help to some degree. But I won't be directly in the spirit's path. You will be.

I'll try my best to not get influenced. If it happens, you'll stop me before anything happens, won't you? [ Is this trust? He's not sure. ] You know as well as I do that I don't want to hurt or kill anyone. Nor do I want to side with Enoshima ever again.
It might take me a while to master Dunamis, however, considering that it's me. But what kind of challenge are we talking about here?

Could he...
Komaeda glances to the box sitting on his work desk containing the completed crystal as he runs back over his plans. It had been since the start Sosyne's attack on the city that he'd been building this plan but...
He scrubs at his face. The plan hinged on talking to the Arehtei. Finding out exactly what they might be able to tell him about Piphron and the nature of being emotional magics.]
2/2
The challenges each Arehtei presents are specific to their nature and personality. It was a dark maze of despair for Peromei. Thras gave us one based around bravery and facing challenges we weren't used to facing. Sosyne just fought against us.
...
I will stop you. But, without killing you or if I can help it, dying myself. Still, even a basic understanding of the energy your emotions release will give you a fighting chance to resist the tempering. At least, in theory. So the first line of defense, is in your hands.

Piphron was trust and distrust, wasn't it? I'm assuming that it probably has to do something with that. If I'm assuming correctly, what will most likely happen is that I might get paranoid and not trust anybody at all. Perhaps I'll end up thinking that everyone's out to get me.
[ It's a possibility that he's been thinking about for a while, one that he doesn't really like. ]
Nevertheless, I plan on trying my best so that doesn't happen.

You're absolutely right! Piphron's distrust of everything is the only thing keeping him alive. If you want to get a feel of whom you're connected to, I can introduce you to Sanae. She has organized rituals to send positive feelings to the Arehtei using an Aligned as the pillar for each one.
I need to talk to her about Piphron and his agee, so we'd be dealing with two issues at once.

Duly noted. And I'd highly appreciate that, thanks. But in regards to the whole 'positive feelings' thing, wouldn't it be bad if it was too positive?

Yes, that's why I need to talk to her. First, I need a new crystal. There's a window of two weeks before it becomes a dire emergency. But there's no telling what's going to happen in that time.
