mukuro had come straight from hopeβs peak academy, having had no time to change out of the junko disguise. the wig was torn off along the way, with junkoβs bear pins attached to her uniform. when she finally got to the warriors base in towa city, she already made up her mind to tell nagisa first. junko saw the most discipline in him, which would make mukuro think he was the best choice.
sheβd done her crying over junkoβs death on her way to the city, since she left right after gathering what was left of junkoβs belongings. she couldnβt show weakness around the warriors after all, she was sure theyβd need some sort of unshakeable support.
βjunko died.β she wanted to rip the band-aid off quick, get it over with. βshe abandoned the plan & executed herself.β she pauses, βiβm sorry.β
she unclips the bear pins, & holds them out to nagisa, as a way to prove her claim. she doesnβt let any of her own grief show, knowing thatβs what junko wouldβve most likely wanted from her. she didnβt know if heβd believe her regardless, but she didnβt expect this conversation to last much longer anyway.
