[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. ]

[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.]
