the no say gex vd.....

these two are so funny. guess kei really was serious when he said that he wants to see hinode later in his vd...

i. feel like kei's character should be a warning itself ashsjsjsk but anyway don't worry there are some mentions of violence but it doesn't end up being anything serious. also happy halloween everyone :)

(sounds of footsteps)

(the door opens)

Hinode: I'm here.

Hinode: Hm?.. 

Hinode: Why are you just.. standing there?

Kei: A-ah, sorry, sorry, I was just..

Kei: Lost in thought, you know!

Hinode: Oh, I see. That's good, I thought you were going to attack me. I wouldn't like that at all, haha.

Kei: Yeah, that would be bad, wouldn't it? 

Kei: Especially considering that you're.. more of a weak type, aren't you?

Hinode: ...

Hinode: *laughs* Guess I am.

(sounds of Hinode sitting down)

Hinode: So, Kei-san, how about we make this quick? You did say that you want me to come to you after all of this is over, and here I am.

Hinode: My apologies if you meant that you wanted me to come to you right after we were done with the last prisoner, everyone's verdicts are very important, after all.

Kei: *sitting down* No, no, I'm not mad at you at all, haha.

Kei: .. Now that I think about it, I haven't seen other guards anywhere lately. 

Kei: Did something happen?

Hinode: A-ah, no, no, everything is fine. They just need some rest. 

Hinode: The third trial is going to end so soon, they must be prepared.

Kei: ...

Kei: You're kind of a bad liar.

Hinode: ...

Hinode: .. So you know.

Kei: *laughs* Of course I know. I'm the one who helped her with all of this.

Hinode: All of this was Reina-san's idea, correct?

Kei: Yep. She's the one who came up with it. I just helped with executing the plan.

Hinode: You broke the memory machine because she told you to?

Kei: And the cameras aren't working right because of me as well.

Hinode: .. You really should be punished for all of this. *laughs*

Kei: Then go on, show me what you've got.

Kei: I got voted guilty anyway, so I kinda deserved it.

Hinode: .. I'm not going to do anything to you. At least not until the trial officially ends.

Kei: Oh, right, what's up with that? Our verdicts got announced, but the trial is still technically going..

Hinode: Well, it's the last trial, so.. 

Hinode: We just need a little bit more preparation, that's all.

Kei: Who's "we"?

Hinode: ...

Kei: I know that Reina used the machine on Eiji and Miki. And I have a feeling that even though you could give them all their memories back, you didn't. 

Hinode: ...

Kei: *laughs* Wow, even you got addicted to having so much power in your hands, huh? I shouldn't be surprised though, again, you're a weakling, no wonder you got excited at the thought of being the only one who can vote now.

Kei: And you still voted me guilty! Is this how you confess your love for me?

Kei: Oh, oh, did you want to see me suffer that bad? Seriously, we got so many guilty verdicts this time, not even my brother-

Kei: No, actually, hold on, this is so funny. *laughs* My brother claimed that everyone here will "get what they deserve" and that everyone will get voted guilty, but in the end, when he was active, only three prisoners got a verdict like that.

Kei: And you are the one who isn't as passionate about morals as the other guards, but you voted literally everyone guilty except Akio and Asahi. 

Kei: Hm? Care to explain that?

Kei: Considering the punishment you came up with after the second trial, I'm sure that no matter how many times you say that you hate seeing people in pain, on the inside, you actually want them to suffer.

Kei: You want them to feel the same things that you went through. Isn't that right, Hinode?

Kei: Not judging, by the way. Who am I to judge a guard? 

Kei: .. Something is bothering me though.

Hinode: .. Please, get straight to the point.

Hinode: Why did you want to see me?

Kei: Oh, right, right. Sorry, got distracted. You're just so fascinating to me.

Kei: I'm actually kinda surprised that you even.. came here. 

Kei: I thought you'd just interpret this as a joke or something. Like come on, a prisoner like me asks you to come see him in the middle of the night? Nothing good can come out of it, that's for sure!

Hinode: Yeah, but to be honest.. I think even if you asked another guard to come, they would. 

Hinode: If they.. still had their memories, of course.

Kei: Hm? Why?

Hinode: Well, Miki-san would be curious about it or she would think that you want her to help you with something.. Also, she just thinks you're pretty. *laughs*

Hinode: As for Eiji-san.. Well, he's Eiji-san. 

Hinode: I think that no matter what he says, he really does care about you. But of course, I don't know that much about your relationship, that's just.. a feeling that I have. 

Kei: ...

Kei: .. So.. do you remember why I asked you to come here back then?

Hinode: Because I basically solved your murder and you wanted to give me some kind of "prize"?

Kei: Correct~ Hehe, you're so smart, you deserve another prize just for this.

Kei: .. But seriously, you really are smart, Hinode. I've heard some prisoners say they found you.. a bit scary, haha.

Hinode: Scary? I was just guessing most of the time. I didn't do anything special, really.

Kei: See? That only makes you even more special! 

Kei: (sounds of Kei leaning closer to Hinode) I just find people like you very.. interesting, that's all.

Hinode: .. Are you expecting something from me here?

Kei: Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. 

Hinode: *sighs* Sorry to disappoint you, Kei-san, but I don't have much energy left. Just moving is too painful for me right now.

Kei: You're no fun..

Kei: Fine, fine, I'll go easy on you. I'll ask you one simple question, okay? I'm sure a smart guy like you will be able to answer it!

Kei: So.. 

Kei: .. What will happen to me?

Hinode: Huh?

Kei: You heard me. Guilty, innocent, guilty. These are my verdicts. 

Kei: I don't really get it.. I guess if all I got was nothing but a guilty verdict, I'd probably be dead at this point, but do I get a more light punishment just because I got voted innocent once?

Kei: Can you solve this one for me, smart boy?

Hinode: ...

Hinode: Well, I don't think there's any point in hiding it anymore.

Hinode: You.. will be able to leave Milgram. But since you got voted guilty twice, the outside world will know everything about your crimes and it will be up to them to decide what to do with you.

Hinode: Don't ask how they will know about it. Milgram is just that powerful, I guess.

Kei: ...

Kei: Haha.. I-I see.. So I'll be able to go home..

Kei: W-well, it's okay. If I get to see Ruka again, maybe going to prison won't be that bad-

Kei: .. Who am I kidding, I'll probably just get killed for this.

Kei: Though I'm not sure.. I-I mean.. Does my job also count as my crime? W-will they know about that too?

Hinode: I'm not sure. I'm assuming they won't, since you were judged only for your murder.

Kei: I see.. 

Kei: I-I.. did kill, like.. five women, haha..

Kei: That's probably, like, really bad..

Kei: I-It's okay, I'm sure Mom and Dad will help me out.

Hinode: .. You depend on your parents that much?

Kei: It's fine, it's fine, they've been doing some not really legal stuff for such a huge part of their lives, they can handle it!

Kei: I-I'm gonna be fine. I'm gonna be fine.

Hinode: ...

Hinode: If you don't have any other questions for me, I think I should leave-

Kei: *grabs Hinode's arm* W-wait!

Kei: ...

Kei: .. H-hey, Hinode..

Kei: A-aren't you.. a guard of this prison too?

Kei:T-then why can I.. touch you right now?

Hinode: .. It's none of your business.

Kei: .. Haha..

Kei: S-so, you're not really protected by this prison, are you? Just like Eiji?

Kei: Ahaha.. Then this will just make things easier for me.

(sounds of Kei making Hinode fall on the floor)

Hinode: Y-you're really just.. taking advantage of me like this, haha.. 

Kei: Why wouldn't I? All prisoners here are murderers, including me. Why wouldn't I do "bad stuff" like this? 

Kei: You're one of the guards, you should have known that.

(sounds of Kei getting on top of Hinode)

Kei: Unless.. you're not really a guard?

Hinode: I..

Hinode: Ah-

(sounds of Hinode getting choked)

Kei: This is what I meant when I said something was bothering me. 

Kei: Unless my memory is lying to me, I broke Miki's memory machine, right?

Kei: But the thing is.. I know that she still used one on the other prisoner later.

Kei: Yurika turned on the voice recorder Reina got as a present earlier before her interrogation started, because she was afraid the guards will try to do something with her memories.

Kei: And guess what, she turned out to be right! You guys really love to abuse your power.

Kei: So when it was all over, Yurika listened to the recording and she remembered what happened. That was actually a very smart move on her part, I was a bit surprised, considering how.. "impulsive" she is most of the time.

Kei: She told the other prisoners about it and that's how we found out that the other machine was still used before Reina used it herself on Eiji and Miki.

Kei: But something doesn't add up. Can you guess what it is?

Hinode: ..T-to steal the machine..

Hinode: S-she'd have to.. touch..

Kei: Exactly! We can't touch you guys at all. It's almost like there's some kind of invisible wall protecting you or something.

Kei: So unless Reina was really careful and managed to take that thing out of Miki's pocket without even touching her body, she'd never be able to do that.

Kei: And listen, I know about her past. I know that she stole things often, I think she'd be capable of doing that without even touching Miki.

Kei: But she wouldn't even think about stealing Miki's machine.

Kei: Because I was told to break it. 

Kei: For some reason, Reina wanted me to get rid of only Miki's machine. Probably because she thought Miki would use it more often, so she wanted to stop Miki first.

Kei: That means that she'd have to take your machine and use it on Eiji and Miki.

Kei: But again, something just doesn't add up! You two are so complicated!

Hinode: C-can you let me go-

Kei: Nope, not done with you yet.

Kei: If you were the only one with a memory machine that was still working, then why did Miki use one on Yurika?

Hinode: ...

Kei: Did she borrow it from you, Hinode?

Kei: Or maybe you gave it to her yourself?

Hinode: ...

Hinode: .. T-the latter..

Kei: Ohh, I see, I see! Haha, you're so kind to her. Careful, she might fall in love with you, if she hasn't already.

Kei: But once again, something doesn't add up! Because if you were so generous to offer your machine to her..

Kei:Why did Reina tell us that she used your machine on Eiji and Miki?

Hinode: ...

Kei: You know, we got some time after the trial, so me and some other prisoners gathered and just talked about stuff. Like friends do, I guess.

Kei: And when Reina's plan was mentioned, I clearly remember her saying that she went for your machine.

Kei: And you know what made it very confusing to her, but she didn't think much about it when she did it? 

Kei: She tried her best to be careful, but she still ended up touching you.

Kei: But how could she touch you? Come on, you're literally a guard, aren't you?

(sounds of Hinode struggling to breathe)

Kei: Just tell me who you are already.

Kei: You know way too much about everyone and everything. It's kinda scary.

Hinode: I-I'm just.. 

Hinode: I-I was only meant t-to.. replace E-Eiji-san.. Nothing else.

Kei: Replace?.. Ah, so you were forced to work as a guard only because my brother wasn't.. able to do his job?

Kei: Haha.. Yurika, you really shouldn't have done that to him..

Hinode: W-well, they also needed the third guard.. s-so that the verdicts..

Kei: Oh, oh, wait, what? What about the verdicts?

Hinode: C-can you.. let me..

Kei: Fine, fine. Forgot that you need to breathe for a sec.

(sounds of Kei letting go and Hinode breathing heavily)

Hinode: I-if.. If Eiji-san and Miki-san.. had different opinions.. and wouldn't be able t-to.. agree on a verdict..

Hinode: I-I was supposed to help them with that.

Kei: Oh? So this prison really wants the verdicts to be clear and straightforward, huh? 

Kei: Interesting.. Hey, does that mean that I can touch you because this prison doesn't actually see you as a guard?

Hinode: .. Yes.

Kei: Whoa.. Man, if only I knew that I can touch you before..

Kei: Okay, another question!

Hinode: Can I just leave-

Kei: Nuh-uh, getting to spend time like this with me is your reward, so make sure to appreciate it, okay?

Kei: So, if a prisoner was supposed to get executed..

Kei: .. Who would execute them?

Kei: Is it one of the guards? Maybe somebody else?

Hinode: .. Why are you asking me out of all people?

Kei: I have a feeling that you know about it. Just like you, I'm just guessing. 

Hinode: .. All I know is that it's most likely not going to be one of the guards. Now let me go.

Kei: Can you be just a little bit more specific for me? Pleeeease?

Kei: Like who is it going to be? Is it someone who works in this prison other than the guards? Is it someone we haven't met yet?

Hinode: ...

Hinode: .. F-fine.

Hinode: The trial is going to end soon, so there's no point in keeping it secret, I guess.

Hinode: You should get prepared for it too-

(the door opens)

Jackalope: "Guard 003", Kuroki Hinode. 

Jackalope: The third trial is about to end. Please, come with me.

Hinode: .. Just let me take my medicine first.

Hinode: Or.. Never mind, I'll just take it with me.

[linagram]

What would've happened if the prisoners got different verdicts than they did? (In trial 1 and 2-wise)

putting everything under the cut bc im yapping a lot here..

(also warning for descriptions of eiji's possible punishments for some prisoners and how hinode's punishment could affect them)

akio: being voted innocent in season 1 would actually be a better outcome for him! yes, akio "expected" being voted innocent, but i think that deep inside he would still have a feeling that the guards will vote him guilty, so he would find being forgiven very confusing. he would try his best not to show it though and he would try to act like "it was supposed to be this way", but on the inside? the boy would be shocked and would try to understand the guards' reasoning. as for being voted guilty in season 2, i've said before that linagram characters won't die until all trials are over and i intend to keep my word, but i think that akio would definitely be in a terrible condition and he probably wouldn't even be able to talk properly in his third voice drama. it would be interesting to see canon!aimi trying to do the talking for him maybe?.. i'm not sure how that would work, but it'd be fun and it would show how dependent on her he's become.

aimi: being voted guilty in s1 wouldn't. be good for her. probably. depends on what you think is good for her. eiji's punishment for her would be not allowing her to talk to any of the other prisoners, otherwise she'd be punished in some other way, most likely physically. even if the prisoners themselves try to talk to her, she wouldn't be allowed to respond. she would also be not allowed to spend time with them in any way, so even if all prisoners are eating in the cafeteria, eiji would just bring the food to aimi so that she can't even come to see the prisoners. being isolated from everyone in this way wouldn't be good for a girl who's obsessed with the concept of friendship as you can imagine. she would act a lot more mean and she would also claim that eiji is simply taking advantage of his power and using it to torture a poor girl who was a victim of bullying (and yes she WOULD say that her classmates bullied her. mostly to make eiji feel bad for her) her relationship with akio in this case is an interesting topic because if she's not allowed to interact with the prisoners, how would she save canon!akio from his suicide attempt? i imagine that aimi would risk being punished and still save him, but not really because she's that kind, she would just use akio to make the guards realize that she's actually "better than they think" and that they should forgive her. if she got voted guilty in s2, again, she would be mad at the guards, especially if she was voted inno in s1. i can imagine that her reaction would be similar to canon!shun's, so she would be like "hey what did i do wrong why would you betray me like this".

shun: honestly, i'm glad that he got voted inno because his s1 punishment would be very similar to hinode's :'D basically eiji would use some kind of drug on him to make shun's memory even worse but it would backfire and shun wouldn't remember LITERALLY ANYTHING. i think he would even forget that he's human. it all depends on the other prisoners' verdict combinations, but i think that if someone else tried to take care of shun, it would be eiko except eiko is a horrible woman (affectionate AND derogatory) and she would take advantage of his memory loss and shun literally wouldn't be able to function without her. if shun got voted innocent in s2, i think he would be pleased to see guilty prisoners experiencing memory loss and he would go "SEE NOW YOU'RE JUST LIKE ME" at them. his treatment of female prisoners would get worse and when it comes to his relationship with canon!eiko, he would try to make HER depend on him since she got voted guilty in s2. she would be very reluctant, but she'd eventually agree because it feels nice to be taken care of, even if it's.. like this.

naomi: if she got voted guilty in s1, her punishment would be.. very interesting because it would be directly related to another prisoner. eiji would force asahi and naomi to spend as much time together as possible, i imagine he would go as far as making them share a cell. they wouldn't be allowed to talk to anyone else (not counting the guards) and i think he'd just scare them with a physical punishment like in aimi's case. yes, that would be weird if asahi got voted innocent, but i honestly think eiji wouldn't care about asahi's verdict and he would still be completely okay with using him for naomi's punishment. if she got voted innocent in s2, i think she would become a LOT more confident and even proud of what she's done. would go full child killer mode and try to turn asahi's life into hell but. miki is out there

kei: if he got voted innocent in s1, he'd find it funny and would claim that it's the proof of eiji's love for him since he'd obviously forgive his older brother no matter what, right? but like akio, he'd find it a little.. confusing. because hey, eiji, you voted him inno because you love him, right? not because you feel bad for him? not because you think kei is pathetic and weak and should be protected? his relationship dynamics with others depend a lot on everyone's verdict combos so please feel free to ask questions about the specific ones! if he got voted guilty in s2, memory loss would be really bad for his already unstable mental state, but i also think something would go. wrong in kei's brain during the procedure and he'd become a tiny bit obsessed with hinode because he's so used to the concept of physical pain being the proof of love that hinode torturing him in a psychological way would feel very new and exciting, like i think kei with his "love = pain" mindset would think hinode just confessed his feelings for him right there. i can imagine kei also begging hinode to hurt him physically as well in his third voice drama and overall becoming more masochistic.

eiko: guilty would actually be her canon s1 verdict and i remember being a bit surprised when she got voted inno :'D eiji's punishment for her would be.. i want to say that it would be bad, but considering how he would punish shun and some other prisoners, this one ACTUALLY SOUNDS KINDA TAME COMPARED TO THEM. eiji would cut eiko's hair, making her look like a mess and he would also spill hot water on her skin causing burns to appear. y-yeah. eiko would accept her punishment and would be surprisingly chill about it and she would say that it just proves how "eager" eiji was to punish someone as pretty as her. i also can imagine her obsession with eiji getting worse as well because eiji keeping his promise and actually punishing her proves how "perfect" he is. her dynamics with shun and kei would depend on their verdicts a lot, but i actually think guilty!eiko would be more focused on eiji than them. her being voted innocent in s2 wouldn't change her personality much, i think she'd honestly act more or less the same, though i can actually see her being a little disappointed in eiji because of him going easy on her all the time, haha. but she would still love him.

asahi: OH THIS IS A BAD ONE like i was honestly relieved when he was voted innocent in s1.. so um. we all know that his theme is hunger right. and that he's happy as long as he "has food to eat and toys to play with" right. u-um. well. eiji's punishment for asahi would be basically leaving asahi to starve. asahi wouldn't be allowed to eat anything and he would be allowed to only eat extremely small amounts of food and only if he was like. clearly about to die soon. yes, i like to make fun of eiji's obsession with punishing everyone and i also often mention that eiji is a victim of abuse and that's why he's like this, but eiji is a terrible, terrible person and he WOULD go that far just for the sake of his personal "justice". miki would secretly bring food to asahi though and eiji would find out and they would have a really bad fight because of it. if naomi was also voted guilty, i can imagine naomi (because she's also a terrible person. just like most people here) eating in front of asahi and torturing him this way. god she's insane. if asahi was voted guilty in s2, i think it'd depend a lot on his s1 verdict, but if he was also not forgiven in s1, the boy would be BROKEN. he was left to starve and now the guards are playing with his memories. i also think his relationship with miki would be a lot less wholesome because he would be attached to her since miki is still the only one who would care about him, but he would wonder why the girl keeps voting him guilty if she claims she wants to save him.. if he was forgiven in s1, he would be DEVASTATED because that means miki betrayed him. if asahi got voted guilty at least once, i think his hallucinations would get worse and he'd hear and/or see his "real mother" more often. it'd be even more sad if eventually she stopped looking similar to miki..

yurika: OH YURIKA!! yurika was actually supposed to get an inno verdict in s1 and i was really surprised when she got voted guilty. if she got voted inno, she'd be like "oh i knew the guards will realize that i'm the real victim!" and she'd act more confident and she'd act a lot more like what kind of person she used to be before her parents kicked her out. sooo basically mean rich girl. however, on the inside her feelings would be more complicated bc at the same time she still wants to laugh at miki and say that the girl is just trying to make yurika trust her, but also... miki is so nice to her.. miki reminds her of takame so much.. ehehe.. what should she do.. if canon!yurika was voted innocent in s2, she'd be surprised, but she wouldn't be able to be truly happy about it, because the guards already voted her guilty once and they can definitely do it again. she would also find it funny and she would ask miki something like "do you really hate eiji that much" since voting yurika inno after she broke eiji's arm would definitely be a Choice. and if inno!yurika got voted guilty in s2, well. she'd be really mad! and she would also realize that miki is not the same as takame and that no one will save yurika in this place and she has only herself to rely on.

riku: riku was actually supposed to get voted guilty in s1 and honestly it would be very similar to what happened to him after he got voted innocent. riku would, ironically, be very scared of what eiji could do to him so he would decide to hurt or even kill himself before eiji could get to him. his injury would be very serious and it would be a miracle for him to survive and i think arisu would be the one to take care of it, since he also treated akio's head injury after akio got voted inno. because of that, riku wouldn't be able to leave his cell and talk to others and eiji would call that a perfect punishment for him because it means that riku can't get any attention from others (and also it would be a cool riku and hinode parallel since well.. hinode spent all his time in bed bc of his health issues and still got a lot of attention and now riku has to do the same but nobody cares about him...) miki would try to spend as much time with him as possible though and riku would become very attached to her since she would be the only source of attention for him. if canon!riku got voted inno in s2, he wouldn't be sure what to do, because he'd still feel like the guards are forgiving him because they feel bad for him so he just needs to continue hurting himself to get out of milgram, but he would also start to get thoughts like ".. maybe they actually do think i was in the right". his self-harming tendencies would still be there, but he would slowly try to control them and if akio was voted innocent in that case as well, he'd try to help riku with it. it still wouldn't be a perfect verdict though bc riku would just think driving his friend to suicide is all good and okay and morally correct.

reina: reina's a very interesting case! i think if the guards voted her guilty, reina would be relieved at first, but then she would literally feel like that one post that went something like "you fell for the character's facade that the viewers were supposed to see through"?.. like, she wouldn't know if she's supposed to be jumping in joy or look the guards in the eyes and go "god you are so dumb". she'd try to understand if they really think reina's crime is bad or that the guards just didn't want to bother. as for eiji's punishment for her, i think eiji would be sure that physical punishment wouldn't matter much to reina (and he'd be right), so instead he would simply force her not to talk about her crimes outside of trials. however, reina wouldn't find that scary and she'd keep her serial killer act and eiji would also not be able to punish her physically since the girl is literally not scared of him and she'd be okay with him doing something to her, and that's boring to him. so yeah, honestly, he'd just ignore her. if she got voted guilty again, her behavior would depend on other prisoners' verdicts, i think. if their verdicts made sense to reina, i think she'd actually believe that the guards do think she deserves punishment and she would accept it and even give up AND SHE WOULDN'T TRY TO LEARN MORE ABOUT MILGRAM. but if their verdicts sounded weird to reina, she'd realize the guards don't know what they're doing and she'd start to act a lot like canon!reina.

some bonus info!

i believe that if the verdict combinations were different, we'd still get a lot of the current notable relationship dynamics like 030506, 0109, miki and riku, miki and yurika, eiko and eiji, naomi and asahi, the guard and prisoner siblings, etc, but i think some prisoners would interact more, like i can imagine a scenario where yurika could become interested in naomi since "haha she's still looking for a pretty older woman to date" and naomi wouldn't have any feelings for her at all, but she'd manipulate yurika and possibly even use her to hurt asahi. i also think that asahi and miki's relationship wouldn't be as strong if he kept getting voted guilty. we also could have more insane reimiki yuri if miki kept voting reina guilty. imagine

[ meet the prisoners! (t2 edition) ] prisoner 002: hanasaki aimi

it's the second prisoner's turn! thankfully, she's doing much better now.. though it's hard to explain what's going on with her personality.

(Warnings: Akio's injuries and overall condition is mentioned again and it's also implied that whatever Riku does to make people pay attention to him is most likely painful and harmful)

General info.

T1 Verdict: Aimi was voted innocent, so now she's doing better than she was before arriving here. She has a different hairstyle now, her cuts, scratches and bruises have healed, so she doesn't need any bandages or bandaids anymore. Her outfit is still the same though, since it's impossible to see it under her prison uniform, so she thought it would be weird to ask for something new. She's wearing a different hairclip now, an ice cream-shaped one instead of the candy-shaped one. She has more freedom now and she mainly uses it to request things for Akio. She says that she doesn't need much, but he does. 

T2 Personality: Aimi is still a ray of sunshine in this prison, but she's definitely more quiet now and not as talkative and sociable. She actually prefers to avoid most prisoners now and whenever they ask if she wants to spend some time with them, she just smiles and says she's a bit too busy for that at the moment. She doesn't really try to make friends in this place anymore and she doesn't talk to anyone except Akio and talks to others only if she needs their help to take care of him. She's still very nice to Miki though and openly says she likes her and wants to become closer with her. Some prisoners say that they can't help but feel like Aimi is looking down on them and not because of her verdict, but because of something else. The way she talks sounds more cold and sarcastic sometimes, especially when she's around Eiji or prisoners like Asahi or Riku. But again, if she still likes someone, she will show her usual soft and caring side to them. The guards feel like she's acting like that because she wanted to be voted guilty, but they're not so sure about it. Or maybe this is actually her real personality or at least, Aimi is slowly starting to act like her real self. Is this what she's like when she's not being bullied by everyone around her? But again, she's still (mostly) nice, so.. It's hard to say anything bad about the way she acts. Though Eiji is sure that she's just using Akio to feel better about herself and she refuses to talk to the other prisoners because they're not giving her as much attention as she expected from them.

T2 Relationship dynamics:

Aimi and Akio are very close now. It looks like she cares about him a lot and she was genuinely worried about him when she saw him trying to commit suicide or at least injure himself. Aimi makes sure he gets enough rest, but sadly, no matter how much time she spends with him, she can't be there for Akio when he feels like he's getting choked by that mysterious person he sees in his cell when he's trying to fall asleep. Other prisoners have mixed feelings about Aimi and Akio becoming so friendly and some of them (like Asahi and Yurika) think Eiji is right and she's just using him, meanwhile others are happy for them (like Naomi and Reina). Eiko often teases Aimi about making Akio fall in love with her, but she finds those jokes annoying and says that they're just friends and they don't need more than that. Eiko swears there was a time when Aimi looked right at her and said "Hey, Yoshioka-san, maybe you should shut up and stop assuming that literally everyone is just as obsessed with romance as you?" before smiling and leaving.

Naomi is one of the prisoners Aimi still kind of talks to, though she mostly just asks her for help with taking care of Akio and some other things. It's nice to have an older prisoner to rely on and Aimi can also feel that she's most likely Naomi's favorite kid here. Haha, that's understandable, she never causes any problems after all. Naomi also doesn't judge her for spending less time with other prisoners and says that she understands why Aimi is acting like that, but refuses to talk about it because she knows Aimi wouldn't be comfortable with it.

Aimi and Riku don't have the best relationship right now. Riku has tried to talk to her multiple times, but she just either ignored him or even told him to leave her alone every time. Riku thinks she avoids him because he reminds her of her bullies, though there's actually more to that. Aimi has also said that "he never actually enjoyed hanging out with her, so why is he so worried about her not being friends with him now?". She also finds him trying to make other prisoners look at him and give him more attention embarrassing and annoying. Of course, she doesn't want anything bad to happen to him. But also can he come up with something else already? She thinks that trying to make others feel sorry for you is pathetic actually. 

Aimi is grateful to Eiji for forgiving him, but she also knows that if it wasn't for Miki, he would have definitely voted her guilty. So she is still nice to him, but she also keeps saying things that are a little bit rude about him. She keeps pointing out how weak he actually is and Eiji thinks she's trying to make him mad on purpose. She also likes to make fun of how bad his anger issues are (while still sounding polite) and whenever Eiji calls her out for it, she just says that it's his fault for being so emotional. How can he act like this if he's the guard? A person like him won't be able to judge them properly. 

On the other hand, she really likes Miki and makes sure to say hi to her every time she sees her. She has even asked Miki to wear that candy-shaped hairclip she gave her last time, even if it doesn't really fit the whole "guard vibe". She often thanks Miki for her kindness and says how much she likes her and how much she wants to be friends with her. It's weird for someone who "probably wanted to be voted guilty" to like Miki so much.. unless she acts like this because she wants Miki to forgive Akio this time? Or maybe she actually does like Miki. Who knows.

Music info.

Milgram cover: Well. We all knew this is going to happen sooner or later. Yes, she's the one who gets After Pain this time! I actually like how she gets this song only now, because it feels like she's finally admitting that she was a victim of bullying and that her classmates never were her friends. I feel like her cover would sound really soft at first, but then it would start sounding more and more angry (which basically turns into screaming closer to the end) because this girl has so much anger and pain inside, it's not even funny. I also like the idea of, like, T1 Kei and T2 Aimi singing it together as a mash-up, because these two are more similar than they seem, though they never really interact.

DECO*27 cover: Nani Nani, it sounds like a very soft and cute song, but the lyrics are so sad and they fit Aimi so well! ("People's fake smiles are so good", "My delusions speed up and reality runs late", "It's something you want to hide so much it hurts", "Difficult days will continue, but I hope that things will go well this time" in particular)

Different Vocaloid Producer cover: Failure Girl by Kairiki Bear. All Aimi's "themes" are there, the lyrics describe her past well and I think her cover would sound great :] And again, I like how she's getting a song that describes her problems better this time, it's like she's finally ready to talk about it.

Her T2 Trailer Voicelines:

"Oh? Guard 001-san and Guard 002-san? Are you checking up on us? How kind of you.. Ah, by the way, I know I've already said this before, but I'm just so happy.. Thank you for forgiving me. Thank you for accepting me. You two, yes, even you, Guard 001-san, you two really are.. like best friends to me. Hehe, well, this is just what you've expected to hear from me, right?"

".. Did they.. really deserve to die?.. T-their blood is on my hands now.. Ahaha.. AND IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU!"

Her T2 Song Trailer Voiceline:

"It's only natural for me to avoid them, right?"

Trivia:

Hm? Does she want to be voted innocent or guilty this time? Well, again, she doesn't care about her verdict that much, but she is sure worried about Akio. She doesn't want to lose him right after they have finally became friends.

Miki was the one who braided her hair for her and that made Aimi like her even more. Eiji got mad at Miki for spending time with the prisoner like this, but Miki said that it was Aimi's request and Miki couldn't say no to that. (It actually wasn't her request at all and Miki just wanted to braid her hair)

A light shade of blue was chosen as her second image color because of her eyes. And again, it's kinda like a hint to her being connected to Kei because of his image color also being a shade of blue, but a darker one.

She has even more similarities with Yuno now because of her album cover and Yuno's T1 MV. Aimi's T2 MV will show a lot of balloons too and they will also play an important role there. 

She's not as clumsy as she was and she's trying to be more careful now. If she gets hurt, who will take care of Akio then?

I'm working on your ask, I swear! Just give me 1-2 business days-s...

Also, making our ocs interact is really fun! I can imagine everyone living in a sort of shared Milgram where they can meet up, but the guards don't exactly interfere with each others' work. Which doesn't make sense, but shhh. The details aren't important.

"You know, it's at times like this when I'm glad I got my bunch of prisoners," Haruto remarks while munching on a cookie. "At the very least, none of my prisoners have tried to attack anyone." Well, there was that time Yui chucked her chair at him. But she missed really badly so that doesn't count. "Three prisoners guilty and shit hits the fan. How are you both coping? Is anyone actually keeping an eye on Yurika?" He turns to ask Eiji and Miki, but quickly reaches out for another cookie. These shared warden tea breaks have gotten awkward lately. Eiji, who wasn't very sane to begin with, seems to be spiraling his way towards a mental breakdown. And Miki...is acting weird. Haruto keeps his expression neutral, keeping his gaze away from them. Not his problem.

it's okay, it's okay, take your time! also yeah, making our ocs interact is really fun! it's like playing with dolls together or something except almost all our dolls are murderers but anyway and the concept of shared milgram is so cool!

--------------------------------------------

Eiji and Miki try to stay calm, but both of them end up looking at Haruto like he said something.. bad. Very bad. Their work is slowly getting harder and harder every single day and he still dares to talk to them like that?

"I would love to see you try to calm someone like Yurika down." Eiji looks away from him. "If you say or do something wrong, even unintentionally, she will immediately try to attack you."

He looks at his bandaged arms for a moment and shakes his head.

"At least she's not that strong. I mean, from what we already know, she was kicked out of her house by her own parents for not doing any work and not helping them in any way, so that was expected. She really is pathetic."

Eiji says the last words like he's trying to calm himself down and make himself believe that Yurika really is just a pathetic ex-rich girl who can't protect herself and just goes for the weakest and most vulnerable people here.

W-well, Eiji is not one of those people, is he? He's literally the Milgram guard, so..

Whatever. It's not like she can actually hurt him in any way..

"U-um, well, maybe we can just vote those three innocent this time and everything will be alright.." Miki tries to stay optimistic even in this situation. Looks like she's really excited to forgive the guilty ones.

Does she actually want to save them or she just wants more people to depend on her?

"I told you that's not gonna happen." It looks like Eiji hates the idea of voting the prisoners innocent even more now. "Akio still thinks he did nothing wrong, Yurika is way too unstable to forgive her and we don't even know what she did and Kei is.. Kei."

He turns back to Haruto.

"We're gonna be fine. And you better be more careful. Who knows, maybe one day one of your prisoners will snap too."

It honestly sounds like Eiji even wants this to happen so that Haruto can experience the same thing they're going through.
