"Revenge?" Four - no, Shin suddenly laughs, laughs, and it's so normal of him and sounds so much like Four, or the one that you actually knew, that you have to take a step back. "No, no, that was Nami's gig. Hey, y'know, Chiyo's head was delivered to me in a box right after everything happened." He made a little box shape with his hands, grinning almost childishly. "About this big. Delivered right to my doorstep. Wasn't really expecting it, to be honest. Just was any old normal day, and then, bam, happy birthday to me. Traumatizing, to be sure."
He shrugged. "I went insane, though who wouldn't? There were more of you before this all started - Kouhaku, the SHSL Scientist, Reitz, the SHSL Historian, Bianca, the SHSL Thief to name a few. There were eight of us, and we gathered ourselves up with the help of Naoki and started a fucking apocalypse. Terrorized most of Japan, honestly, though we still went to school, which was surreal. Ran everything over with Monobears, went to school in the morning. Killed almost everyone and everything. One of us was the Super High School Level AI Developer, and with their help, I created a...Chiyobot."
"She was like my sister in every single aspect, and the beauty of it all was that she had no idea that she was a robot. I loved her as much as Chiyo, to be sure."
"I was dating Taro, even back then. But he found out what I was doing, confronted me about it, tried to get me arrested. Called me a monster, even. He was terrified of me. He was right, and I couldn't deal with that, and so I put him and the rest of the class in a coma. Everything went to hell after that."
"The mutual murder game that Naoki was holding ended up failing and he ran to me for support. I'd pretended like I forgave him, he'd come to me crying. The short period that we had then was surprisingly peaceful. Then - you won't believe this - Naoki transitioned from a guy to a girl. She was a trans girl, all of a sudden, and her name was Nami. She tried to run away with the help of Aiko, one of the kids who helped me destroy everything and I..." Shin gulps. "I killed them."
"It was an accident, of course, but the others didn't see it as an accident. They didn't abandon me, but all of a sudden I just...couldn't stop. I killed all of them, one by one, each driving me a little more insane. Then suddenly even Chiyobot had run away, and I was so alone." Shin laughs.

Aisu just smiled back in response, "Ah, okay, so we have a mass murderer, who is insane, right in front of us, again I might ask, why are you telling us this? Why did you decide to keep us alive, and not kill us like you did the others, or where we the lucky ones?" She let the questions spill out,
"I mean in all seriousness, you could kill us right now if you had a chance and yet you're telling us information you don't need to, why is that?"

Jaxan took a shaking step back. Oh, god, he was totally going bonkers. Not that she could blame him - seeing his sisters' head in a box at his front door. She bit her lip, now aware of the fact that she was visibly shaking and wanting to vomit, cry, scream, and run all at the same time. Oh, god, what...? This guy had gone through a lot. And too much pressure in a person could make them come crashing down.
"I--you--we--" Jaxan couldn't find anything to say, and her voice was shaking just like her body. Her voice couldn't come to her, and she was...afraid. Afraid for what would happen to them and--
Wait...did he say that...everybody...everybody and everything was...destroyed? Killed? Did that mean...? Oh, god, did that mean...?
Did that mean her parents and family and everybody she knew were dead?
Suddenly shaking visibly, the girl's knees could no longer support her as she fell down, to the deck floor, arms coming out last second to support her. She almost looked like she was in a ball from that position. "M-mom? D-Dad?" her voice was shaking and was barely audible to hear. "D-D-D-...dead?" her voice cracked and she began to sob. It probably looked foolish. It was foolish, actually. "E-Everybody...d-d-d-dead?"
She didn't care what others would think of her; crying there, sobbing even though she was far too old to be doing such a thing. She was always too emotional for her own good, though. They're dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead.

Four frowns. "Yes, everyone's fucking dead, but it's not like that's so new to you, is it? That's what has been happening this whole cruise trip, nothing new, honestly." He shrugs nonchalantly. "If you were expecting something else, then, too bad for you. You already knew I was a mass murderer, though. Surprise surprise."
"In the end, I tried attacking and killing all of the survivors of Nami's game - Miharu, Desmond, the whole lot. I ended up killing Sugar, too, and one of Jin's friends - Sachii, I believe. Then Miharu rigged something, and a beam - a fucking beam, nothing even that elaborate - fell down on me. I was about to die, and then - "
"Chiyobot pushed me out of the way. She had run to the survivors, apparently, asking them for help to save me. And look how that ended up. With my sister's head, once again, rolling on the floor. They told me she had a glitch in her system afterwards, and that she was going to self destruct pretty soon. So that makes me wonder - had she seen the beam and tried to save me, or had her self destruct been about to happen and was she being a suicide bomber and trying to kill me?"
"Chiyobot was exactly like Chiyo, I'll have you remember. Maybe even a little bit kinder. She had the memories implanted and everything. Never realized she was an AI and not the real thing. So what does that mean when my own sister - my own sister - was trying to kill me?"

Aisu's grin grew wider, "It means that fate wanted you dead, but it seems that we're stuck here aren't we? Although I wouldnt dare start a fight with a mass murderer."
The hockey player sighed, this was starting to get boring, all this talking non-stop about murder, it's like she had enough seeing it never mind hearing about it.
"So if you killed all of the survivors in Nami's session, does that mean you're gonna kill us too? Not that I would mind myself, as for the others..."

That's right. I should be used to this... the thought raced past Jaxan's thoughts. But I've...always thought that Mom and Dad would be there, to help me out and get over it once it was over...but no? They're dead? So I have nobody? Only the survivors here?
There's just...something different. She had nothing to go back to, really. Just...a world where everybody was dead she she was a survivor in this twisted world. Everything she had believed in - oh, Mom and Dad'll be there to make everything better! Nope. Not happening - boom. They're dead.
With shaking hands, the girl forced herself up to at least a sitting position. Using the railing for support, she brought herself up to her feet once more.
"S-Sorry," she said, coughing and wiping her face with a shirt sleeve. "...I'm often told I'm too emotional for my own good."
"...But what if she...um...didn't want to kill you?" Jaxan asked, suddenly being rather grateful that she didn't know the so-called survivors of the first mass murder. Or, rather, didn't remember knowing them. "...If she wanted to save you all along?" Although there was a fat chance that it was really the case, and she was probably pulling strings at this point, not knowing "Chiyobot" and all.
The girl took in a shuddering breath. How much people did this guy kill...? Are we next?

tw: self harm in second paragraph
Shin sighs, frowns, looks at his hands. "I'm...I'm not gonna kill you." He says, though whether it's a promise to himself or them is unclear. "I promise you."
"But, speaking of killing, after that event, I really really wanted to kill myself." He chuckles, lifts an arm, and as soon as the sleeve falls away patterns and rows of lines and curves show up - too numerous to count. Some are deeper than others, some are newer. Shin shakes the sleeve back over the scars and grins. "Tried overdosing one time, but didn't work out as you can see. So I thought to myself - Shin. Wouldn't it be just the greatest of ideas to have yourself be killed in a mutual murder environment just like your older sister?"
"And so, that's what happened. I kicked up Monobear's old files with the help of - " Shin hesitates, shakes his head. "myself. Got them running, restarted the whole game. Sent you guys to be transported onto this cruise ship - but, for some stupid, stupid reason, Taro got sent along with all of you."
"I hoped to be killed early on, but that wasn't the case. I began debating with myself - should I prioritize protecting Taro or getting myself killed? The former bit won, and I killed Frank. If I won the trial, I could give my pass to escape to Taro and get myself killed. If you guys found out, I could hide and be the Mastermind and protect Taro up from the Captain's quarters."
"But maybe the machinery was malfunctioning, or maybe it was me who passed out after too many sleepless nights of watching over Taro, but when I woke up one day Monobear was saying that Taro was dead and I couldn't even see how he died." Shin laughs and laughs and laughs until there are tears streaming down his face. "I started putting all the security cameras on record after that."

Aisu sighed, "Look i'm sorry for your loss, or anything that happened to you really, but did you seriously, feel the need to kill all of those people who had lives just like you did, did you feel the fucking need to go batshit insane and kill peoples families, friends, etc?"
"And I thought I was going crazy!" The hockey player changed her sympathetic expression into a smile, "I thought you knew all the info on how Taro died, it was showed during the trial and we obviously figured out who, look i'm probably being some cliche freak like I always was but learn to let shit go, he's gone, just like everyone else that I wasted my trust on."

"I found out afterwards, but I never saw a clip of how it all played out." Shin sighs. "It's quite different hearing how this might've happened and who's the murderer and seeing it with your own eyes."

Alice didn't know how to process any of this. It was so... sudden. All this time she'd thought there was a plce for her to go back to, or people to save. Someone to welcome her home, somewhere she could feel safe.
I mean, no wonder they were on a boat... when their entire world was destroyed.
But Four. (Four minus one is 3.) Four.
He...he... She stood staring at him, only just able to follow the ocnversation between him and the other students - in shock. She was remembering a conversation she'd had with him. C'mon Alice. REMEMBER. She racked her brain as she let out a fluttery breath (apparently she'd been holding her breath this whole time), and controlled, light, gasping.
The words he'd said came back to her like a memory of a dream. Surreal. "Someone like you- someone good, is going to live through this."
He...orchestrated all of this. He...he...did he...protect her? Or was it really all just chance? She began to blink quickly, trying to keep the tears from coming, but they began to leak out slowly.
He was insane, yet he had somehow been able to treat her with mercy...? Was it that? Or was she just lucky? No. Luck didn't exist.
She approached Four, slightly, drawing in a bit closer to where everyone was gathered. She wanted to help Jaxan process her emotions. She wanted to help Aisu get answers. But she couldn't seem to look away from the face of the tired and broken boy. He had answered all of the questions she'd ever really caref about - the why, the how. She didn't seem to care much about her life before at the moment - even if she learned about it, there was clearly no going back.
"Wait... One moment." She spoke up, lifting a hand to Aisu (not meaning to be disrespectful or to disregard her question, but seh was dimply preoccupied with her emotions - everyone was) and approached even closer to Four. "Four," she addressed him, taking a deep breath, and letting out a shaky exhale, then speaking just as unsteadily. "You are not beyond redemption." Her eyes were glazed with tears now, andher face was becoming more and more wet. This whole time he'd expected, maybe even wanted, her to be angry at him... But... He was so nervous, and so twisted up inside.
"There is nothing you can do to undo what you've done. And there is nothing you can do to change your past..."
Everyone. She could hear them, the accusations in her mind - what the fuck are you doing Alice, pitying the murderer. COUNSELING him, even. But no no no that wasn't what she was doing.
"But as long as you're alive, there is still hope for you."
"You..." She had no idea what he wanted to do here... "I don't know about anyone else here, but... I..." Deep breaths. "I haven't given up on you." Would he even know what she meant? there was so much that she wanted to say to him, but would any of it matter to him? Was he too walled up to hear her?
(Tfw idk what im rping any more)

Kat looked at Alice like she was insane. " What the he-". Kat shut herself up before she could say anymore. Alice probably knew what she was doing. She grasped Jaxan's hand hoping to calm herself and Jaxan.

Aisu stopped asking questions, her face stern as she looked over at Alice, the girl knew what she was doing, so Aisu thought best to keep quiet and let her classmate do her thing.

Jaxan bit her lip and squeezed Kat's had tightly. She obviously didn't like the fact that Alice was talking to the mastermind. She hadn't known Four/Shin herself, but he was the mastermind and probably could kill them all with the snap of a finger.
However, Alice knew what she was doing - at least, that was what she hoped.
But...all the same, she was nervous. For everyone - Hell, even Four. ( although the fear was him killing everybody and/or knocking a l l the screws out of himself )
