[We're just going to say for simplicity's sake that someone let him in after he showed up, because well, let's be honest, would Kirigiri be willing to let him in if she were the one to get the door? It is a mystery. A SHSL mystery.
Either way, Byakuya Togami is hanging out at your place today, Kirigiri. Have fun with that.]

[ it was probably Austria or Yukimura that let him in on their way out of the house, seeing as they usually don't interfere with who she associates with. she's been in her room for the day reading some material she got from the library, and was surprised to see that she had a visitor.
upon coming down the stairs, she's even more surprised to see that the visitor is Togami. there is something extremely wrong with this picture. ]
Why are you here?

Why are you here?
[Something very wrong, yes. And that something goes by the name of Touko Fukawa. Since it's not like he can spend his time reading books in places she can't access like the boys' locker room, he's taken to spending his days out in various places around Holly Heights. And since there were things to discuss with Kirigiri, as well, her house is a great place to hide away from stinky girls with a serial killer as their split personality.]
We have things to discuss. Somewhere less open might be preferable.

And due to the presence of your "wife", your own home is out of the question. Correct?
[ yes, that's a smirk. she's been watching the network, and what she's seen has been highly amusing. ]

[And that would be him scowling and narrowing his eyes in response. We don't mention the "wife" situation, Kirigiri. He's doing his best to pretend it's not a thing.]
If you want to try and get anything done with her literally breathing down your back, be my guest.

No, I suppose that would be a bit difficult to work around. However, she should still be informed about the presence of the mastermind. Unpleasantries aside, she's a surviving student, just like us.
[ don't be a dick, Togami. at least not moreso than usual. ]
[ don't be a dick, Togami. at least not moreso than usual. ]
[Kirigiri did have a point with her still being a surviving student, but it's not like Togami particularly cares. Whether she lives or dies, it's no concern of his. it's probably better for him if she were to die, really. And this is what's important.]
So you want everyone to know, then, do you? I assume you've told both Fujisaki and Ishimaru, then. They might both be dead, but I don't trust them to not do something stupid in regards to this.

I have. They took the news as smoothly as you would expect... [ ie. Not Well. ]
Still, I'm confident that they understand the seriousness of the matter.

Whether they understand or not doesn't particularly matter. [Since well, in Togami's eyes, they've already proven they aren't capable of much. They both died, after all. And even when they did make something that helps, or was supposed to, that wound up being a catalyst for murder.]
So long as they know to keep their mouths shut around her and not give her an advantage she shouldn't possess in this place, that's what's important.

[There was one thing (well, several things) he didn't mention at that meeting for a reason. Why he's talking to Kirigiri? Who knows. Most likely as a repayment for that meeting, since that meeting did give him some things he hadn't learned before.]
If you haven't already, speak with Chiaki Nanami. You can thank me later.

[ that was her aim - for everyone to learn things that they didn't know before, but to also gain a possible upper hand. she doesn't know how much Junko does or does not know, but she wanted to be able to level the playing field a little.
the info she received from Chiaki Nanami gave her just that. ]
No need; I already have. I've been meaning to speak with you and Naegi-kun about it... Bringing it up at the meeting would have been problematic.

[Would it give them an upper hand? Well, perhaps only in the sense that Junko might not have expected them to know. Because if that was who those students were, and Junko was the only one that knew what really happened, there's no doubt she's already aware of them being here, who they are, and trying to find some way to use them for her gain.]
To say the least. Did she tell you anything beyond who those students are?

She disclosed everything to me, including the Future Foundation and her role in their School Life of Mutual Killing. Admittedly, I was reluctant to believe it at first.
[ but as of this moment, she has no proof to dismiss it as anything but the truth. in theory, all of it was possible... wasn't it? ]

[Being able to prove or disprove it wasn't important right now. It'd be nice to know if it was the truth or not, certainly, but it would be safer and easier to operate under the assumption what Nanami had said was the truth.]
If what she says is the truth, Enoshima no doubt already knows this. I'm sure I don't need to explain why that wouldn't be a good thing.

What remains to be seen is when she'll decide to act upon it. If she's able to somehow return their memories, Super High-School Level Despair will have an overwhelming influence in Holly Heights. We can't let that happen.
[ that thought scares her. there was no way she was going to let this place fall into despair as well. ]
[ that thought scares her. there was no way she was going to let this place fall into despair as well. ]
[Falling into despair isn't exactly Togami's main concern. Despair, and all of that nonsense Enoshima was fond of and her pursuit of that idea were just things he found utterly nonsensical. What's more important to him is staying one step ahead of Enoshima. Or at least, not falling behind. In the end, preventing people from falling into despair would go along with that, certainly, but his motivation is a bit different than Kirigiri's own.]
It's doubtful returning their memories is necessary. She's done it once before; memories or no memories, it's more than possible that she'd be able to again. I will say though that if anyone has the knowledge of how to manipulate memories, it would no doubt be her. [if, you know, naegi can be believed. Which he probably can, since he's Naegi.]

Then what do you propose we do?
[ it's an honest question; she's forming some ideas of her own of course, but they're all theories that she has no idea will work when put into action. douchebag or not, Togami was smart and on their side. any input would be good input.
Naegi would also need to be inducted into the conversation if they were to get the full fruit of a brainstorm, so she adds: ]
I think a private, in-person meeting with us and Naegi would be a beneficial start. He seems to know the most about Enoshima's plan and her nature.

[Togami feels the same about Kirigiri, there's no question there. He can't stand her and her attitude and how she goes off on her own being all suspicious and not even knowing much about her talent and history, but he can't deny that she's intelligent. It does sort of eat him up inside, because he would absolutely love to write her off as some stupid ordinary person, but he knows it's not the truth. And he also knows Naegi has more information than the both of them, and that as much as he can't understand why Naegi does what he does, Naegi at least has a knack for figuring things out when it comes down to it.]
I've already instructed Chiaki Nanami to continue with her job of observing her "classmates," and to notify me if anything seems suspicious. I don't expect that on its own to be enough, however.
Does Naegi know anything about the other students? [He's guessing not, since Nanami hasn't told him she told. But maybe she would've assumed Naegi was okay to tell? Who knows.]

[ the three of them make a pretty hard-to-beat team, huh? if only they were able to come together and pool their talents as a team... yeah. like that would ever happen peacefully, right? ]
She'll be a valuable advantage if she's managed to gain the trust of her classmates so far. If they were to go to anyone for advice, I have a feeling it would be her. [ Hajime Hinata seemed especially close to her during the meeting, and there's something about him that makes her want to keep a closer eye on him - mostly due to the fact that he can't remember his talent. her own experiences have proven that that usually means something's up. ]
I'm not sure. Nothing he's spoken to me about has indicated that he has, but if Chiaki Nanami was as open with him as she was with us, we can assume that he has some basic knowledge.

[hahahaha yeah when would that ever happen? talk about super high school level unlikely]
Not to mention that she no doubt knows the most about that group. Next to Enoshima, of course. There's likely more that she hasn't mentioned about them because there hasn't been a need to do so. Regardless of whether or not they all trust her, she's an asset to us no matter what.
We'll find out soon enough anyway. The best place to meet and discuss this is no doubt at one of our homes. I don't know who Naegi happens to be stuck with, but that doesn't matter. [because he doesn't know if Naegi's house would even be good, since well, that's three other people they'd need to boot out for this. They can just use his place, since technically Fukawa was part of their group. She was just, well, Fukawa.]

[ wrapped neatly in a box is a beautiful pair of leather gloves. inside is a card with some insanely childish dinosaur speaking of outliving the stone age or something lame. but there's some text: ]
kirigiri-chan! i hope you have a great birthday. i hope we grow to become closer and i am very glad to see you here. you're very smart and that's something i look up to a whole bunch.
ps: naegi helped pick this out, so i gotta make sure he gets credit too! :)

He's been buy in the morning, when he was on his way to work, and dropped off a box on her kitchen table - yes everything is just as locked as it was before, but it's still in there, blame his powers - containing (maybe not very pretty, but completely edible and hopefully not bad tasting; they're obviously home made) coffee cakes and ; and there's an accompanying note as well, in an envelope with to Kyouko on it.
Belated happy birthday.
If you drop by the bookshop I'll let you choose some titles to take home, since I don't know what genres you like.

Short and to the point.

[He doesn't need to or want to explain himself, because no matter what, that's always going to be how he is. What he does want, though, as per usual, is answers.]
Are you free tonight? [Not. Exactly the usual kind of question he demands answers to.]

[ she expected as much. the prospect of texting him had been floating around her head since this morning, but it doesn't look like she has to worry about that now.
a little too quickly than she'd like to admit, she replies: ]
I am. Why?

We're going out for dinner. [It's not a question this time, he's going out for dinner no matter what, and he wants Kirigiri to go with him.]
If you don't have suitable clothing, I can fix that.
