❝ I doubt you would be familiar with the Kamukura Project at the time. Thanks to its unethical nature, the academy went to great lengths to hide its existence and even among the involved it was on a need-to-know basis. When the video making my existence public was leaked, the most logical course of action among the involved would have been to dispose of any incriminating evidence, and among the law enforcement, it would also be of their best interest to keep the investigation under wraps in order to avoid tipping the involved. Even now you may see similar behavior within the Future Foundation.  ❞ Naegi Makoto was now in a position that he couldn’t allow himself to be naïve, and Kamukura exposed how things work to the young adult. The general public would never know the true extent of the project, the same way that they weren’t aware to all the details and the true scope of the Tragedy itself or what transpired in that school shelter. Even so, why Naegi would make a point to stop and find information about the Kamukura Project at that time? It wasn’t something that a teenage boy would want to focus at the time.

❝ The society had been inexorably reaching apoptosis.  Slowly at first, but every passing year with increasing speed. Even without Enoshima’s interference, it was likely that your generation would witness the fall. But it wasn’t enough for her, she wanted complete and utter destruction as abrasive and violent as possible so despair would take deep roots and endure throughout centuries. It would become seeds to reshape the entire structure of mankind.❞a world which despair becomes the norm sounded trite. An existence of pain and self-destruction wasn’t something sustainable and would eventually lead mankind to possible extinction. ❝ For you, it doesn’t seem to have any everlasting effects, but for someone with analytical prowess can predict all the ramification of even the smallest actions: the ripple effect of her influence would be unparalleled. Even interrupted, her name will down the History and the world will never be the same.  ❞

{ 真実 } As much as people always tried to keep things under wraps, he knew how well that ended up. Even before the student council was attacked, rumors were constantly flying. It was that easy to scoop up gossip on the latest happenings between people and places. Back then, Makoto had thought only a bit of it, chalking it up to just the usual pokings of tabloids and stuff, but now...ugh. To think that Kamukura was more or less right and people would willingly ignore stuff like this. Now, whenever his coworkers tried to get cagey in their reports, it irritated him to no end. As Kirigiri dryly noted in a conversation to him once, it was their division that should get hand in determining what info is withheld if the situation required it, just as much as it was the higher-ups. How frustrating...

“It’s just egotistical of her. If that’s what she wanted - to cause a social uprising seemingly part of humanity’s declining course and criticizing us for personal flaws while in reality doing it just for her own selfish desires - then even if she got what she wanted, it wouldn’t be anything she expected. Or was it exactly what she saw coming? Maybe I’m giving her too much credit - I’m sick of everything she’s done to everyone, and even now I don’t know how much she’s planned before the execution.”

Should he really be this honest about it to Kamukura? Probably not. But it was something he had to get off his chest.

It’s true, coffee didn’t calm his nerves at all. He really only used it to cope - and when he truly wasn’t feeling it, he poured Vodka into his coffee.That was his secret though, no one really knew he did that and he was going to keep it that way. Hopefully. A sigh comes from him, already going ahead and making his cup.

❝I’ll make yours. What would you like in it 
He didn’t like it - but he knew he had to start talking about his other self he so dreadfully disliked. Honestly.. where does he even start with this to someone Ruler’s never met?
❝ For starters - he’s creepy. Assassin is overly clingy and will do anything for attention. He reminds me of a fanboy who doesn’t really know when to quit. Especially when it comes to Beast! He holds onto his arm and just clings to him as if his life depended on it. It’s highly annoying. 

{ 真実 } He’s no stranger to conversations like these. Back in the old days (were they really old now? huh), many a student would wander into his office, usually with something troubling them on their minds. Even with his incredible workload, he’d always find time to sit down and talk with them. Even the action alone helped to unravel the mess, sometimes.

Image

“You don’t have to put anything in it if it’s too much of a hassle. I can drink it black no problem.” That’s a slight lie - while he’s used to the taste due to many long nights at the Future Foundation, if given the choice he’d prefer a little sweetener. That being said, he has a feeling he might need the extra caffeine kick.

“Then let’s start there, Saihara-kun. Obviously, Assassin’s behavior is not acceptable under the current norms, but think about it. Why is it so annoying to you in particular? And the way you describe him as being a fanboy - you have to have a reason for picking that as the comparison.”

❝ I don’t mean any disrespect, but have you met him? And for what he’s been doing.. currently, or what he HAS done? Because I can sit down over coffee for this and give you an entire list. 
No, he wasn’t joking. He was having a hard time getting along with his past self. He was just.. creepy. It unnerved him. He didn’t know exactly how to explain it.. it’s kind of like one has to meet him to just… understand.
Image

{ 真実 } “That’s what I’m trying to tell you. Since I haven’t met Assassin yet, it’s hard to say what you should do to deal with him. I can at least safely guess that he’s much more unwieldy than Archer ever will be - and any of my other known classes, although we won’t get into that.”

Ruler crosses his arms at that, before continuing to speak in that matter-of-fact tone. It’s kind of like a teacher having discussions with a student. “Then why don’t you go ahead and do so?  Clearly, a discussion over coffee is in order, although I can’t say that caffeine will help calm your nerves.”

❝ So.. how exactly do you deal with your other selves, Ruler? I can barely stand having assassin around. Is there some sort of trick to this? I’m already on six cups a day and it doesn’t do anything. ❞
( @kibouzuru !

{ 真実 } “First off, six cups a day isn’t going to do the trick. If you can figure out how to take care of Assassin, you should only need three. Secondly...what is it that Assassin is specifically doing? I can’t say I’d be of much help because Archer is quite easy to get along with, but if Assassin is causing trouble that has to be addressed first.”

i saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked // tyger tyger, burning bright // i have done it again. // do not go gentle into that good night. // the sea is calm to-night. // let us go then, you and i, // april is the cruelest month, // pretty women wonder where my secret lies. // there is a place where the sidewalk ends // i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart) // two roads diverged in a yellow wood, // whose woods these are i think i know // let us twain walk aside from the rest; // once upon a midnight dreary, while i pondered, weak and weary, // i taught myself to live simply and wisely //

it so happens i am sick of being a man // i wandered lonely as a cloud // does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? // o my love is like a red, red rose // o captain! my captain! our fearful trip is done; // out of the night that covers me, // it was many and many a year ago, // you may write me down in history // do not stand at my grave and weep // some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice. // hope is the thing with feathers // the wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees, // no man is an island, // remember me when i am gone away, //

i met a traveler from an antique land // ‘twas brillig, and the slithy toves // this is thy hour o soul, // when we wear the mask that grins and lies, // death be not proud, // and death shall have no dominion. // laugh, and the world laughs with you; // the art of losing isn’t hard to master; // to see a world in a grain of sand // is there anybody there? said the traveler // nobody heard him, the dead man, // that crazed girl improving her music. // come to me in the silence of the night; // where the mind is without fear and the head is held high // when you are old and grey and full of sleep, //

in flanders’ fields the poppies blow // i thought of you and how you love this beauty // life, believe, is not a dream // it may be misery not to sing at all, // if starry space no limit knows // come live with me and be my love, // had we but world enough and time, // my heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains my sense // bright star, would i were steadfast as thou art– // thou still unravish’d bride of quietness // how do i love thee? let me count the ways. // heaven is what i cannot reach! //

my dear, my dear, i know // in visions of the dark night // shall i compare thee to a summers day? // break, break, break // she walks in beauty, // i had a dream, which was not all a dream. // he clasps the crag with crooked hands.

{ 真実 } He simply tilts his head in confusion at the statement, while keeping a smile all the while. What was the occasion for Hinata to say such a thing? There had to be something to prompt him to say it, so why? Maybe he can ease some worries?

“Well, I’m glad you think so...but I’m fine, really. Things can be tough at times, but they get better in the end! And besides, I’m happy when everyone else is happy, too. That’s all I need.”
