Didn't all the killing games before us end up in someone murdering and escaping though?

*Chiaki giggles slightly*

"There have been hundreds..."

"..."
Vivi slams her fist on the table.
"Are you fucking kidding me with that shit?! I only went through this garbage once and I'm scarred for life. You expect people to go through that over and over until it finally fucking works!?"

Vivi... I think we already have done that ourselves...

*Varien thinks back to the times he died over and over again*

*Chiaki glances from Vivi's outburst to Varien*

"I see you never told them. My dear, this isn't your first killing Game. And, it's not the first time you've been the last woman standing either."

*she lets that sink in with a small, sad smile*

"You've improved so much. You just don't know how much."

"I..."
Vivi goes completely pale.
"Y-You're joking... right..."
She laughs uncomfortably, unable to come to that realization.

Why though... why does this have to be the method of helping us...?

(Have to eat dinner quickly, brb)

*Chiaki gazes at the table once more*

"Varien found out... Hana was literally the only person from the 16 of you to never participate in one prior to this Killing Game. And almost all of you... have won before. Some of you multiple times."

*savino crosses his arms*
“This is a lot to process.....”

*she glances over at Varien*

"Because it's the only method that works. The Governments of the world tried everything. Therapy. Torture. Hypnosis. Nothing worked to drive out the Despair. Somehow, in some cold, dark, decrepit sense of morality, forcing you to live through this horror, breeds a hope that can crush the Despair in you."

(Actually scratch that, can eat at my computer)

What were we a part of...? The DoD I think it was...

"..."
Vivi has given up on trying to get answers.
"I wanna go home..."

*savino nods*
“Me too.....”

*Chiaki nods*

"The Department of Despair. Sounds corny I know. Several people of high influence were fueled by Despair, and so they tried to bring it back into the world. Which is where some of you came in."

*she glances at Varien*

"Some of you, in this room, came up with a Killing Game in the real world, and trapped and killed hundreds of teenagers on board the SS Hope over many seasons, all on international television, to spread the Despair like never before."
