a camping we will go

[ Anyway so one day a bunch of nerds went camping and it went exactly like this the end.

To be more precise, close to the lake on Floater Island a nice lil camping spot has been made! There are a couple of tents next to a campfire. The campfire even have logs arranged around them for that authentic camping experience? You sit on the logs, obviously.

A large variety of snacks have been brought over! There are hot dogs that can be roasted over the fire (made out of... some... animal idk use your imagination). Most importantly, they have marshmallows and chocolate to make s'mores! Because that is the most important part of camping. Clearly.

Mingle with other crew members! Wander around Floater Island and pet birdogs! Tell scary stories by the campfire! Fall into a ditch somewhere and have to be carried back by your crush like a stereotypical shoujo heroine! etc etc have fun ]

Oh, it was a room that was an escape room, it lead to another room that had a lot of weapons and information. We were told that to go into it was to risk your life.

[He's far too casual about this.]

After solving the puzzles in the room the final key was to play russian roulette. If you survived you could leave. The easiest setting was leaving in one bullet, and the hardest setting was taking one bullet out.

[This is stupidly casual, and Dirk is aware of that, but Dirk is also aware that he has been party to equally stupid things thanks to Sburb. If not dumber, honestly.]

I don't know if I get the point in offering different difficulty settings on it if the reward is the same either way.

Oh the reward wasn't the same. Clearing the room let you get to the weapons and the secret of the fun house we were all trapped in. But clearing it on the hardest level let you get our school profiles!

[Which had been incredibly valuable since they hadn't had their school memories.]

Oh, and of course our current profiles.

[It was fine to talk about that part, since none of it mattered anymore.]

It answered a lot of questions.

[And happened to be the one thing that made him make a rather troubling decision.]

That's because of the memory situation you guys were in, yeah?

[Double-checking. There are some gaps sometimes, and Hinata explained some matters but glossed over others.]

Yes, we had all our school memories taken from us. It was estimated that two or three years were lost.

The profiles were a substitute for that, but they don't cover anything. Do you have your memories back?

I don't have mine. Only Hinata kun has his. And though they didn't cover everything, they did cover enough to get an understanding of our situation at the time. It was definitely a good prize!

[Huh. That makes Dirk wonder.]

Setting aside how dangerous that sounds coming from you, do you have any ideas on getting your memories back?

That's assuming you want them. [Hinata did make an allusion to WRECKING EVERYTHING. Dirk really should follow up on that some time.]

I'm not exactly sure.... There's some things I would like to know, like my time at school, when I first really met everyone and having an idea of what I had been doing for the past two to three years.

But then there's....

[He lifts his left hand up casually, letting the machine noises murmur with his movement.]

I'm not sure I'm ready to remember what lead up to this....

[Remember that hand? That hand that's in the library now? That hand that was attatched to his arm when he first arrived? Something seriously messed up happened to make that a Thing.]

Yeah, that would have to have been pretty fucked up. Fair call.

[It's a casual answer but it also isn't dishonest, and there's a depth of genuine emotion behind it well enough. Whatever happened, whatever they all did, was something. Dirk knows that he couldn't stand not having his real memories, that he'd have to go for it.

But he can understand choosing to leave something like that behind.]

But, I'm not against trying. Especially now, when only Hinata kun remembers anything. It must be annoying to not have anyone else around who knows the same things.

[Well, at least Komaeda didn't have fake memories, he just had a huge gap in them.]

Why do you ask? Is something on your mind?

Just wonderin' after you brought up those files. [He wonders if he could find it in Komaeda. But Komaeda doesn't seem to want that, and Dirk doesn't really know if memories are covered under the 'soul' category. Best not to worry about it.]

Looking back, though they were very valuable, and worth the price to win them, it might have been unlucky in the long run.

[He can't help but sigh.]

Though, I think no matter what events had to play out the way they did.

Is that a weird sense of fate related to your Luck powers or is there something going on there?

[Things are honestly hard to tell with Komaeda? Sometimes he's like an alien.]

Perhaps it's related to my luck, or just that the Mutual Killing Game had to end and that was really the best way to do it.

[Was it a problem he hadn't explained how it ended? Who needs details.]

Didn't you try to blow up people?

[He remembers that. He thinks that can't have been required.]

Eh?

[He blinks for a minute confused, but then it dawns on him what Dirk is talking about.]

Oh! No. I just told them that so they would all go looking at all the islands and have to split up so none of them had a proper alibi. There weren't any bombs on the island, and blowing up an entire island is sort of ridiculous, you would have to have some sort of nuclear explosive! As if that would be lying around. I only set up fireworks.

No, what I did was set up my own murder. There had to be one more.

If no one could be pinned for your murder, they'd all be killed.

[He remembers that part of the explanation.]

Exactly, it was their hope versus the hope of the traitor! But it would have been fine. If we all died, we deserved it. And the traitor, who was completely innocent would live!

If they were able to reveal the traitor, than their hope would have been greater, and the rest of the class would carry on. That would mean that perhaps there was a reason for them to continue and there was a chance for redemption.

[Because... his luck....]

I was told in the end, Nanami san, who was the traitor revealed herself.

[Though he hadn't explained how he set it up so it was the traitor versus the rest of them.]

Where does a traitor come into this?

[He has no? memory of a traitor being mentioned.]

Oh! From the beginning we were told one of us was not actually part of us, and they were from an organization that kidnapped us. They were thus the traitor.

And it is true, she was part of the organization that did kidnap us, and took our memories. But, those people weren't wrong. Thus, the traitor was the only good person on the entire island!

In fact, at first, I thought the traitor would have been Hinata kun. I had been really hoping that would be the case. But, Nanami san is alright too, if it couldn't have been Hinata kun.

That'd be the AI Nanami. And the organization kidnapped you because you were responsible for... destroying the world.

[Right? God, he should have asked Hinata for the plot. Komaeda was a mistake.]

Yes! She was an AI. And yes, we were part of the Remnants of Despair, and helped destroy the world. It's a bit hard to believe though.

[There was just such a disconnect for him, between how he thought of himself and what he knew from the information he found.]
