it's difficult to say; it's difficult to digest all of this information at once, even as he goes to picking each sentence apart to figure out what's useful and what isn't, what can be used for later and set aside to think on further. a lot of the history of the killing games goes there—the world and what happened, komaeda's lack-of talking about the one he'd been in, so on—things he notes, but will spend more time on later.
so not quite tossed out, but held in the back of his mind.
komaeda said despair six times to hope's five, not including names or titles or anything like that.

To my utmost reGRET, people are not painted in shades of black and WHITE. It'd be much easier to deal with them if they WERE. ( it's still plenty easy to hate them and resent them for shades of grey though; it might be easier, even, if you can't just chalk it up to their innate nature, but a choice they're making. natsume weighs his words, mind heavy with the amount of information given to him.
sometimes talking to komaeda is no different than talking to anyone at yumenosaki. ) RegardLESS... If you ask ME, Amami-kun doesn't seem smart enough to pull off the long-CON. He's SHARP, and he's a JERK, but he's an idiOT. Anyone who gets involved with someone else while plotting the eventual deaths of their peers IS.
( and maybe
for rika's sake, even if she's dead, he'd like amami to be capable of not being entirely terrible. they'd been close; it would break her heart to be betrayed (again), thinking of the way she'd looked when natsume had come out about killing two of her friends those months ago...
everyone's hiding something, here; some people's secrets are just worse than others. natsume cups his chin with his hand, eyebrows pressing together. still—despite any of that, he can't shake his suspicion of amami... he knows he has his biases, but just because he hates someone doesn't make them a terrible person. he guesses. it's still hard to convince himself of that.
a sigh. )
At BEST, it's just a skeleton or several in his cloSET, and at WORST, he'll get the bright idea to graduate using the same method the girl last year did: murdering his entire YEAR. ( no competition makes for an easy graduation. ) I'd like to gauge it mySELF, so I'll ask Amami-kun about this viDEO. A liar always knows another liAR, Nagito-kun.
( it's a hazard. )
...What were your concluSIONS? Considering you asked about MINE, it's only FAIR.
...You are a liar, you're the most hated being because you're unable to be honest to yourself or others.
( he starts, his judgement of natsume has always been he's two-faced, he puts on an act to fit in with the rest of the sheep. as much as he wants to be the owner of this group, that's not how it works, he can try though, and it's only failure — there's only so many people that can be swept up by his magic. yet, komaeda doesn't hate him for that, he doesn't hate anyone other than despair, the idea, the concept makes him sick, and if that was the case he'd hate amami as well too. he said it over and over again, despair is what mastermind's typically bring if they host a killing game, the absolute thrill of seeing what they love taken from them, from others, the misery that breaks them down, and not build them up. )
Amami-kun... I'll test him myself, I've had a thought for quite awhile now. I know the makings of a Mastermind.
( don't ask him how, he won't elaborate, but he's familiar because there's confidence in his voice as he says that. rather than the self-loathing he typically gives when he's so sure of when it comes to who he is. he could correct natsume's words, tell him not to speak of an ultimate in a light that doesn't fit them, but it's true... he's seen the other. he saw him put his life in danger during the meeting, saw how much far he's willing to jump without thinking of the consequences. the second time he met him, he was interested in uncovering mysteries like a child who had been given a brand new toy. )
As for my conclusions, I can feel hope and I can feel despair, for a Mastermind of low moral turpitude, he doesn't have that sort of aura that comes off of him. It's why I have my reservations... he's complicated.
( yet, he was confused when gauging hinata, that he was someone like him, a person who stood on the sidelines and watches others with admiration. he was right, he was wrong, he was both by the end, but towards the end, hinata is a person he could rely on, had high hopes for, always will be attached to no matter what happens. could he say if his conclusions are wrong, would he be able to share something like that with amami when a video like this exists? he doesn't know because he's unsure what part he could be wrong about. )
If you're going to engage, see how much of his story adds up to what you know from the video, there's some truth even if he isn't aware of it all... besides, you're a liar. You want to force him to lie, yet... take care of him, he's still an Ultimate that had the ability to choose another game if what we watched is real. ( but he stops, a small frown, but it's something that sits in his mind. ) Saihara-kun trusts Amami-kun, Kawaii-san trusted Amami-kun... because he was their...
( it rolls off his tongue unfamiliar, but he pushes through. ) ...friend. Please engage with him with that in mind, the Ultimate Detective deductions... are always right.
