                                  prestige     seems     to     be     no     longer     a     word     that     HOPE’S     PEAK     embodies.     a     running      gag     at     this     point.     a     fool’s     game     to     be     had,     apparently.     god,     repetition     is     so     boring!     and     yet,     hope’s     peak     had     the     audacity     to     sit     such     an     atrocious     ideal     right     in     front     of     her     face,     huh.     to     pull     it     off     as     a     mere     coincidence     that     he’s     a     copy,     a     boring     replication     of     one     of     her     classmates.     that’s     all     he     is,     isn’t     he?     just     a     second     hand     imitation.     a     pitiful     fool     that     has     nothing     to     do     with     her     grand     scheme     of     things.     …      disgusting.    

                             ❜          ultimate     detective,     huh     …                ❜     he     lives     in     a     shadow.     he’s     not     even     a     mirror     image     of     kirigiri.     how     miserable.     she     sees     his     personality     before     there’s     any     interaction.     it’s     shameful.     it’s     quiet.     it’s     hideous.     she     hates     it     already.     disgust     filling     her     the     cavity     of     her     chest     so     quickly    that     junko     hopes     she     can     choke     on     it!        ❜            tell     me     something,     how’d     you     worm     your     way     into     this     school?     i     find     it     hard     to     believe     that     hope’s     peak     is     sooooo     INTERESTED     in     detective     work     that     much!            ❜      oh!     hey,     there’s     that     spark,     the     one     that     hadn’t     been     there     when     she     first     approached     him.     the     one     that     straightens     her     body     out,     puts     on     her     best     ‘     enoshima     junko,     ultimate     fashionista!     ‘     voice.      (    or     is     it     her    ultimate     despair     person?     who     knows!     )    it’s     friendly,     casual     but     mischievous     all     at     the     same     time.    and     here     she     is,          she’s     crowding     his     space!     trying     to     get     a     fresher     perspective     on     him,     maybe     this     one     will     surprise     her     a     little!       ❜            i     mean,     c’mon!     i     would     totally     hate     to     have     to     be     just     a     imitation     or     whatever!     that     would     so     suck,     don’cha     think!          so,     you     gotta     bring     somethin’     new,     am     i     right?     am     i     totally     right?     what’dya     do     to     be     on     the     same     level     as     kirigiri,     huh!            ❜ 

            oh, how her attitude makes you sick to your stomach. despite her cheerful voice & childlike curiosity, there’s something very...off about the way she carries herself––something darker than meets the eye. perhaps you’re imagining things, but you swear she’s looking at you like a lab rat –– analyzing every little thing you do. ❝ you do have a point but... i-i don’t think the possibility of having many students with the same talent is t-too far-fetched, ‘ you try to respond evenly, but your anxiety is given away immediately. 

             golden eyes widen slightly at the mention of kirigiri, but it takes you every ounce of strength you have to not roll them to the ceiling. this again ? she’s not the first person to compare you to kirigiri & she probably won’t be the last. hope’s peak granted you the same title after all. you know that your backgrounds are completely different & she has more experience, but it seems that no matter what you do, everyone throws you into her looming shadow. & the longer you dwell in that darkness, the more those thoughts begin creeping into the crevices in your brain: not good enough, not experienced enough, not smart enough. 

              when she leans forward, her cologne pushes your head into a sickeningly saccharine pool & holds it there, waiting for you to succumb to its depths. you try to duck away as subtly as you can, reestablish the space you worked so hard to claim. for a moment, you don’t know how to respond. your story is boring & one-dimensional –– a simple miracle that changed your life. perhaps it was the same for kirigiri, but she had more time to hone her craft, more family members that supported her aspirations. 

             ❝ ah, that being said, i wouldn’t call myself a real detective like kirigiri-san –– i’m more of an apprentice. i happened to solve a murder case before the police did, & shortly after, i got the letter from hope’s peak. i l-like it here, b-but it was all by chance... ‘
