This is strange. This is very... strange.
[The feed opens on a teenage boy who honestly doesn't look like the picture of health; his hair is a mess, his skin is pale, and even though he's sitting, his posture has a certain slump that doesn't exactly imply "physical strength". Still, even if Nagito Komaeda's body is frail, his mind is still sharp as a tack. ...Well, usually. Sometimes. Depends on the context? Well, it's sharp right now, and that's all that matters.]
[He's silent for a few moments, apparently in deep thought.]
[The first and most obvious conclusion is that this is another ploy by Monobear. Last night, he'd watched the end of the third trial and went to sleep, troubled somewhat by what had happened... and now, not even twenty-four hours later, Monobear had dropped him in a Pokémon region of all places? Was this the motive? If so, why didn't he wait for someone to commit murder on their own first? Honestly, Komaeda can't think of any possible way Monobear could make despair out of the Pokemon world; even if he tried to corrupt it, it would only affect the people who have a strong emotional attachment to the originals. Komaeda could think of no one who might know them except Nanami and himself -- Nanami didn't seem like the killer type, and Komaeda honestly wasn't attached enough to care one way or the other. He honestly couldn't even recall the name of the bull thing he'd been given as a starter.]
[Speaking of Nanami... where is everyone? Komaeda had already tried looking through the network, which raised even more questions. If, again, it was Monobear who did all this, why would he go to the effort of writing so many different entries? Why were there actual people with varied personalities, and not an army of Monobears?]
[...Actually, the bear hasn't shown his face on anything at all so far. And quite honestly, that alarms Komaeda more than if it had. Had something... happened to them? Komaeda plans to find out. Depending on the reaction of the masses, who may be either Monobear's fabrications or real people, he'll get to the bottom of this mystery, just like all the others. First order of business: figure out what's happened outside.]
Oh, I should probably introduce myself...
Nagito Komaeda. That's my name.
Anyhow... has anyone here heard of Hope's Peak Academy? Please tell me what you know.

[video]
Yeah, I went there! Did you too?
[The name doesn't ring a bell, but maybe he was in Nanami's class?]
[video]
[He is, however, still a student.]
What is your name?
[video]
Yasuhiro Hagakure. I'm the Super High-School Level Fortune Teller. Nice to meetcha and stuff.
[...]
Do you know Chiaki Nanami?
[video]
[He won't ask if Hagakure's fortunes are accurate, because of course they are. You can't get into Hope's Peak by being a fluke.]
And yes, I do; she's my classmate. You know her too, I assume.
[video]
Mhmm! I'm glad you think so.
[Nagito, you get it.]
Yeah, she's my friend. She hangs with my class a lot! You'll probably run into 'em around the network. We're from the seventy-eighth class.
[video]
I've met a few of your classmates already, actually! They all seem very nice. [In fact, it's Komaeda himself who seems to be causing all the problems.] So, you and your classmates are close to one another?
[video]
Oh, awesome! Yeah, you could say that. Classes go through a lot together, y'know?
[He's not sure if he's supposed to bring up their own murderschool experience at all, but...it can't hurt, right? Especially if Nagito should understand.]
Did...they tell you about what happened? I mean, if you're from Nanami-chi's class then I'm sure someone did.
[video]
You're talking about Monobear's game, right? Yes, I know about that situation.
[video/private]
Also he figures he should probably lock this now because that's the unspoken Dangan Code, so he does. But once he's done that, he's...not sure what to say. This is why he lets the others give all the info out, oops.]
So your class went through something like that too, right? I don't really know the whole story. I still can't believe Monobear even managed to set up another killing game...
[video/private]
[Komaeda sighs.]
It could be your mastermind controlling Monobear, or it could even be someone completely different. There's no way to tell.
