"Ka-.. Kasumi. Name. Kasumi. Her name. A-age?.. haahh... Mo-.. money. Kasumi like.. money. Nice colour. Are you.. Kasumi too? Similar. Never seen before."

omg!!! i actually have files prepared for her cuz i was hosting 1 and 2 trial on my telegram channel, but all files are in Ukrainian. Anyways, 1 trial she was found guilty, 2 innocent.

Juraku Haseshiire, prisoner ### (error), age: 18, height: 161

She’s a third year in high school, a quiet reserved girl, but has a welcoming attitude (most of the time). She’s passionate about her hobbies and is very expressive when it comes to what she likes.

However she’s engaged in parties that should be avoided.

I can’t say much since i’m waiting to write a file on her third trial and only after that i can explain the entire history of her crime.

ocgram t3 albums thoughts (and hrk)

S: ... Hey... I've been having weird dreams since I woke up here. 🐰: You've mentioned. S: I don't want to sleep for that long. 🐰: ... [sigh]... Did I not say it before? Your role as warden is to find out what the prisoner's crimes are. That means all of you. S: ... Ugh. You're so mean...

This part is interesting because it implies that it's no longer a secret that S is one of the prisoners, and figuring out her own crime that led to her losing her memories and becoming the Warden (so, basically, in-prison crime and not pre-prison crime; I assume) is a part of her job as the current Warden. Moreover, Jackie has no control over prisoners' memories. From the way she talks about it, someone else working in DOLLGRAM is in control of it, and caused S to lose her memory.

🐰: Haah... I thought losing your memories would get rid of this problem, but it seems to have only gotten worse...

DOLLGRAM will do the memory extracting part.

Alternatively, S' amnesia happened on its own and is not a result of someone's work at all:

🐰: Right. Seems like he's managed to completely clear whatever happened between them from his mind. That must have taken some work. S: You mean he's been repressing it for a while? 🐰: I think he's been repressing a lot of things. If you don't understand what his involvement was, why did you think he was unforgivable? S: Like I said– he just gets on my nerves. I can't stand his attitude. He won't even accept responsibility for whatever he did. It's annoying. 🐰: Ha. That's funny.

S has been restoring the memories through dreams.

S: Just... Just stay away from that place. Nothing good happens there.

Jackie has no way to stop the restoration of memories or erase them again, so when S mentions the dreams, she becomes straightforward about S being ex-prisoner.

🐰: Sleep until the next trial. You know this already, don't you?

Jackie has never hidden the fact that S's amnesia is something that happened on purpose and that she knows S' backstory, and she's also never hidden the fact that she frankly doesn't care whether S remembers anything or not.

You don't remember anything, right? Or if you do, at least pretend you don't.

As much as it shows that Jackie dgaf as long as she (Jackie) is just doing her job, it is interesting because it implies that Jackie has no intention of lying to S. The reason why the original MILGRAM prevents wardens from remembering anything is that it's easier for a "blank state" to make a logical judgement, otherwise their emotional biases would interfere too much, so that would mean keeping up the amnesiac state for as long as possible. Jackie, however, doesn't care about it, despite repeatedly getting angry at S for being too slow or emotional instead of just doing what she has to do.

Jackie also implied that she's not interested in her own job in general,

S: I just wasn't expecting an actually helpful suggestion from you. 🐰: I have to do my job sometimes, whether I like it or not.

And I wonder if despite appearing unempathetic to S, she wants S to embrace her feeling of free will out of compassion,

[x] Sapere aude is the Latin phrase meaning "Dare to know"; and also is loosely translated as "Have courage to use your own reason", "Dare to know things through reason". <...> "Don't rely so much on authority, especially on mine, which is null. There is also that saying from Horace: 'Dare to be wise!', so that fear may not subdue you more than reason does."

Funnily I think out of everyone who's working for DOLLGRAM (S who's in charge of the prisoners, Jackie who's in charge of S, and everyone above them) Jackie might have the least power. She's just a puppet who's navigating S but can't control anything, even her, and she doesn't seem to be too happy about it.

We know that S became the warden because of her own verdict,

“Haah... I guess it's a fair judgment.”

And her current job is to find out her own crime, implying that in the end she will be judged again, together with everyone.

All of this makes me wonder what "amnesia" really means for DOLLGRAM. If in the original MILGRAM it's used to create a "blank state" that can assumingly make the most logical judgement & it's actively inflicted and maintained by the prison itself, what causes it in DOLLGRAM and what is the purpose of inflicting it (if it's inflicted by someone)? Perhaps to distance the warden from their own crime in a way that it could be re-judged?
