[ ... Now how much should he say? He considers how to proceed, and how Hinata didn't tell him about his past for him to go around sharing it, but...
This was Cilan, and he didn't want to keep his mouth shut about the subject from him of all people, and what it possibly meant regarding the people they knew. It's for that reason that any guilt he might've felt usually in this situation isn't as present when he does finally open his mouth. ]
No, I don't know the full story... but Hinata told me about a school where people considered "Ultimates" in a talent came together and were admired by the rest of the world. There... [ his brow dips in briefly, a frown pressed on his mouth ] Hinata got into the school through some kind of program than by having a talent, and he agreed to take part in an experiment to become an Ultimate like the others. Komaeda-- he's one too. They could all be Ultimates: Sonia, Junko... it might be how they all know each other.
[ ...But he's getting distracted. He looks over to the cup on the table, but doesn't move to pick it up. ]
When the school experimented on Hinata, he lost his humanity-- he became someone who could do anything perfectly, but there was nothing about him left. Their goal was to make the "Ultimate Hope", and by doing that [ the disgust comes off every word ] they took away everything that made him, him. His own hopes, his dreams, his personality... they took away Hinata.
[ It annoyed him to remember that, how not long ago Hinata wanted to make the choice to be him, just because of another choice he didn't want to make. Why...? He couldn't understand, even factoring in those pods...
His hands squeeze together, tightly, and it takes him a longer to resume this time. ]
When he told me, he said--- that's it's possible he's killed people. There's a part of his life he doesn't remember as that guy. Not only that... there was someone else earlier today saying the same thing over the amulet. They said they'd forgotten the time when they did something terrible with a group that were also here, and there was one who knew the truth who "couldn't be trusted"...
[ Junko. It made sense. He hates that it makes sense, that he's thought about it to this degree and let himself click pieces into places about others' lives. The air becomes slightly heavy around him thinking about it, his mouth lined. ]
Their world was ruined by Junko Enoshima -- but she wasn't the only one who destroyed it.
[ The implication is enough for him, and enough to make him feel that shame. ]
