Junko Enoshima is dead.
All the remaining survivors saw how she was crushed, how despair colored all nearby objects, how the gates to the outside world were open now. Everything is fine now, from small things it’s worth moving on to big things, from surviving a killing game to curing the whole world from despair. In the end, the main culprit has been eliminated, all that remains is to deal with her, despair, followers, right?
Makoto isn't sure about this.
The person who has become Ultimate Hope is not sure of Ultimate Despair's death.
He still feels her presence in his entire being and sees her silhouette walking behind him, like his own shadow.
Once her warm embrace is now cold, her playful voice has become ominous, making one shiver, her blue eyes are bloodshot, giving a hint of madness. It feels foreign and familiar at the same time. So close and so far at the same time.
Junko Enoshima is still alive for him.
Makoto Naegi will have to hold his face in front of his friends while a ghost coos in his ear. While he is busy capturing the Remnants of Despair, and then defending their right to a second chance in the form of rehabilitation, he receives caustic comments, with a bit of pleasure, addressed to him from his “companion”. She also keeps causing him trouble, trying to take his life so that luck will be on his side again.
And again, Junko loves to wrap herself around her living lover’s body and give him deathly cold kisses. This sends shivers down Makoto's body.
How has he not gone crazy over this yet?
His fortitude is much stronger than it seems. That's definitely true. And it won't break him. For this, Junko loves and hates him at the same time, and this is mutual. And she will never leave him alone until the end of his life. Nothing will make her leave... Not even the peace that has come to this hopeless world.
