Her face twists into a disturbing grin as she gazes him over from across the courtroom. The air is thick with tension and so deadly silent you could hear a pin drop. Everyone's eyes are on her as her plan is revealed. Her verdict is called out - she is guilty. She's washed the blood from the scene of the crime but it's still on her hands, plus all the bloodshed she caused before they were thrown into this wretched program.

She thinks about revealing it all. Exposing the Future Foundation for all they're worth would be the sweetest revenge in her eyes. She glances up, as if staring into a camera that isn't actually there, and her smile twists into something more sinister and full of despair. She knows Naegi and Kirigiri are watching and she knows they can see her. She lets out a small, disturbing giggle.

First 5 people who send in a “💋” get a kiss from my muse.

"But... Y-You've been so nice to me recently," She explains, fidgeting with her hands. "I just thought... I should d-do something to show my appreciation."

He doesn't have to eat the cookies. They probably aren't very good anyways. But she did her best to bake them and she is so proud of the work that she just wants him to at least accept them as a gift. She half expects him to toss them in the trash anyways once they part ways.

"I uhm... I only really know one cookie recipe so... I made yuzu-citrus shortbread. M-My grandmother used to make them a lot w-when I was a child," She adds, flushing pink. "I understand if you d-don't like them."

"But wouldn't that mean it's not the truth, then?" She asks, narrowing her eyes at him. "If that's the c-case... Then why?"

She doesn't want to believe what he's saying is true; that her Beloved was using her, that she was manipulated to follow her every whim. Mikan feels betrayed he would even suggest such an awful idea. She turns away from him, staring down at her feet for a moment as she processes the information he's given her. Clearly this is an attempt to plant another seed of despair deep within her. And she's ashamed to admit it's working.

"She loved me," She continues, her voice shaking and intense. "I know she did. She told me she did! She... She was the only one who treated me well... She protected me. She stood up for me when no one else would!"

She can feel anger begin to swell up in her chest, her fists clenching at her sides. Her decision to use him as a key player in her plan to bring Enoshima's Heir into the world is questioned for a moment. Perhaps someone else would fit the role better.

Hajime steers Mikan away from any tall things. &... doesn't bring up the idea of climbing them anymore. R e g r e t.

Yes... Probably a good idea. Maybe they should talk about something else... like bandages or medical terms or what sort of foods they like.

“There’s no need to feel guilty, Hajime. I don’t blame you or Nagito for what happened. I’m just happy I was able to help everyone,” the AI told him with a soft smile on her face. She had sensed someone’s increased heart rate which alerted her that someone on the island was in need of help. One of her duties as the island’s computerized assistant was to alert to mental distress left over from the simulation.
