“But you can’t fight it. You’ve lost.” Jacob pointed out.
“Face it.” Stacey added.

“But you can’t fight it. You’ve lost.” Jacob pointed out.
“Face it.” Stacey added.
“I lost? I… lost? Me? No way… It can’t be!”
“You still don’t accept it?” Melissa guessed, slightly worried. If she could kill her own twin sister, how would she take to losing?
“Even the Ultimate Despair herself can’t help but feel despair. Ironic.” Elettra smirked.
“The fuck?!” Junko asked, astounded by the results.
“It seems you’ve lost.” Mikey summed up, everyone went back to their own podiums to vote. “None of us voted to punish hope.”
“So, it seems like we’re at the end. I think it’s best to start the voting time.” Jacob pointed out, feeling confident in what they’ve done here.
“We just pull the lever, right? Choose to punish despair?” Melissa clarified.
“Keh heh heh. So this is how the despair of death feels? It’s so wonderful! Even a minute fraction of this despair… I want every last soul on this planet to taste such despair! I want the entire world to die with that despair in its mouth. When hope leaves a bad taste, only despair can wash it out. Okay. Let’s do this. I’ve reserved an extra special punishment for last. Let’s give it everything we’ve got! It’s… PUNISHMENT TIME!” The sounds of her laughs echoed. Picking up Mono, she then grinned. “C’mon. You get to join me.”
“Don’t you see? I was so hopelessly desperate. I was bored of this world the moment I came into it. That’s why I’ve been longing for this. This once-in-a-lifetime experience… My first and last colossal despair, here at the moment of death! To have the chance to taste of the highest-grade despair. The utter failure of my dreams… How hopelessly happy I feel right now!”
“Weirdness aside, you admit defeat?” Mikey asked, raising an eyebrow.
“This is despair. We came here two years ago, created our incredibly detailed plan, I even slaughtered my poor, dead sister. To come this far, and fail at the last step…! It’s the most ultimately ultimate despair.”
“What? I don’t quite get it.” Melissa frowned.
“That’s just… That’s so… Totally the best!” Another complete flip in attitude.
“Come again?” Jacob asked.
