Disappointing…
A laugh broke through the room without warning, the male voice ringing as everyone gaze turned to the bear. Just as they had thought they found out who was the master mind voted and everything. The monokuma laughed and said,
"Close but nope~! Now ask the master mind yourself since you already voted and all! You guys are in for a surprise cause the real villain is your very hope, Makoto!"
Such dead silence suddenly came over the group as if they couldn’t understand what they were hearing. Makoto the sweet, naive, male that wore his heart on his sleeve was the master mind. After a few minutes of silence Yasuhiro was the one to actually say something, “C-Come on now, that’s just crazy. Makoto not the master mind!”
Aoi continued this assertion not about to believe this, “Y-Yeah! You’re just making stuff up now that your in a corner! Right Makoto!?”
Everyone’s gaze turned toward the young male who had continued to give them hope. Inspired them and helped them survive everything thrown at them. Who has cried and sworn to carry the deaths of their friends with them always. They couldn’t believe such a thing-
"That’s…" It seemed like Makoto was hesitant as if he was scared of speaking. Then suddenly a malicious grin formed on his lips as he looked at them, "Wrong~"
Suddenly the air in the room became ten degrees colder as they saw there was no hint of the usual Makoto. His demeanor and gesture were much more confident with eyes that showed an almost sadistic joy in their confusion. It was wrong, and to say the least the confirmation of the bear’s words was no lie.
It was Reality.
"Hey now, don’t look so shocked. Then again no one would suspect normal nothing special goodie two shoe Makoto."
He piped as he goes over to where Monobear was and picked it up. Everyone noting how it seemed to have gone limp in his arms as he held it, “Though Junko is really dead, not that you are wrong about her being involved. Gave you guys a nice little run around cause she was the ultimate despair but I took that title the moment I back stabbed her. The sister much nicer and still around, but this is a story that no one wants to dwell on.”
After the confusion and shock of betrayal settled in, anger was neck. Rage toward the one that caused them such pain and struggles. Togami was the one to speak obviously pissed but trying to contain himself. Not wanting to let his ‘cool’ composure break as he spoke in a low voice. Though anger seeped through his words as he gripped at his stand.
"How the hell did such a low class vermin become even capable of this? This isn’t over-"
Of course Makoto decided to cut in on the rich male monologue as he raised a finger up. Saying his catch phrase once more with an almost cocky expression, “That’s wrong!” The tone didn’t hold the same hopeful tone or truth, it seemed almost mocking now. “First off shut the hell up Togami always trying to act like the main character when your only a side character. Also You guys already fucked up and guessed wrong on who the master mind is. Now if I WAS Junko she would have probably killed you all off, but I don’t want that. As the losers I decide to show some mercy~”
The Ultimate Affluent Progeny was shocked and angered at insults thrown his way. As it came from the seemingly weak willed and ‘normal’ Makoto. It was like the biggest slap to the face especially as he was called a side character.
”Honestly if I wasn’t around, you all would have died in the very first round. Not that I mind as I was able to play both the protagonist and the Antagonist, became the best friend and the guy to confide in~” The master mind mocked in an almost sing song voice, “Anyway I hate wasting time, about the whole mercy thing. You all get to pick one person from your group to suffer the penalty~!”
Suddenly there was shouting and chattering but Makoto gaze only fell on Kirigiri expression. Hoping to see just what kind of reaction he would get from her, receiving only a glare. Sadly nothing more then that as Makoto soon brushed it off and grinned, “I vote Yasohiro~! He’s only around for comic relief anyway and I have no idea why he’s here anyway.”
As expected the Clairvoyant eyes widened and a scream of horror came from him. While Aoi looked like she just had a heart attack, most of the others were angered like Togami, Genecider Jill didn’t seem to care, and Kirigiri held no expression. Not that he was actually giving them time to decide as he wanted this over and done with. Debate was over, they failed and punishment was to be made.
”If you have anyone to blame, blame Kirigiri for poking her nose to much instead of just accepting life here. Hey I’m only one vote so maybe someone else will get the axe.” He stated bluntly, about ready to wait for them to cast votes. Only for a certain detective to suddenly stop him.
"Wait. Does this mean… Everything you did, said and claimed to care about was a lie?"
Such an armor piercing question gave him a pause, everyone seemed suddenly convinced he didn’t care about their lives. As always drawing their own conclusion and jumping to them. Wanting to have the bad guy to hate on.
He simply smiled.
"Would you even believe me at this point if I said I did?"
The looks on all of their faces made it clear that they wouldn’t, and a pang in his chest swelled. Yet should he truly be surprised when they considered him a monster. Someone so heartless that he would slaughter those that were his ‘friends’ without a second thought. Better to demonize him then think of him as human… That’s fine, he knew they would think this way so why bother.
"Good bye."

The voting went as expected, his influence was greater then expected as Yasuhiro was given the axe. Gave the guy a swift death while the other students were in the building. It seemed their drive to pursue the truth was dead, but then they knew the truth now. It simply didn’t bring them comfort as they realized they lost their last change to escape with everyone.
The only way out was murder, yet no one was willing to murder as they had no hope. The reveal of the outside world as well as the crushing revelation that their hope was a lie killed them.
Makoto would still linger among the students, visiting and chatting like nothing was wrong. Despite the hate and suspicion they all had toward him. Even had Togami looking ready to murder before being reminded that would be like attacking the headmaster. Meaning that death would be delivered swiftly, as the guy missed his chance when he was simply a student.
Now no one talked to him, and that was fine too…
Yet even though that was fine, why does his chest hurt so much. Why did he desire to interact with them and talk to them.
I ship Master mind Makoto and Sayaka all of a sudden, for some reason I feel his old affections is what keeps him actually liking her. But I also love the idea that if Sayaka was killed this is what truly sets him off.
Into not having any remorse for the other students as she was going to be his morality pet. So to speak but her death would make everything more personal especially if she tried to back stab him.
As she would have proven that no one cared about him and only about her own career.
Though this also makes him take up the hero role and why he makes a point to get Leon convicted. Taking pleasure in calling out each asshole that murdered and serving them punishment.
