MEMORY:
    During the Free Time events.



    BYAKUYA: Oy, Naegi. There is something I want to ask you.

    MAKOTO'S THOUGHTS: Something he wants to ask me...?
    MAKOTO'S THOUGHTS: I have a bad feeling about this...

    MAKOTO: Um, what is it...?
    BYAKUYA: There are only a few chosen people in this world who can achieve any success.



    BYAKUYA: The rest of the masses warp themselves in dreams they can't hope to achieve... No, they don't even bother with dreams.
    BYAKUYA: They work to earn some small change, then use that small change to prolong their miserable lives...



    BYAKUYA: ...I don't get it. Is there any worth to such a life?
    MAKOTO: Why... are you asking me?



    BYAKUYA: Beacuse you're a prime example of that kind of person. Don't ask unnecessary questions.

    MAKOTO'S THOUGHTS: I should've seen it coming...



    BYAKUYA: I did not have people like you around me until now. That's why I'm interested in you.
    BYAKUYA: Will you tell me what it feels like to live a life lacking any possibilities?
    MAKOTO: Hey, wait a second...!
    MAKOTO: I don't think my life is lacking possibilities!
    MAKOTO: It would probably be impossible for me to become someone like you, of course, but...
    MAKOTO: But, there is happiness to be found just by living life itself!



    BYAKUYA: You sound like a third rate pop song, repeating well worn mantra...
    BYAKUYA: Those are nothing but the words of the miserable masses, trying to comfort themselves as they live on...
    MAKOTO: T...That's too much...!



    BYAKUYA: But it's the truth.
    BYAKUYA: It doesn't matter how much you struggle, you people cannot change the world.
    BYAKUYA: If you just disappear someday, the world will not notice. In other words, the world has no need for you.
    MAKOTO: I...It has nothing to do with whether we can change the world or not...
    MAKOTO: There's worth in normal life, too. Living and working together...
    MAKOTO: As long as I get to live a satisfying life, I can be happy.
    MAKOTO: That's why... I don't need to compare myself to others...
    MAKOTO: I don't care how I compare with people like you, who were born into guaranteed success.



    BYAKUYA: ...Wait!
    BYAKUYA: "Born into"...?
    BYAKUYA: You... have no idea...



    BYAKUYA: You don't understand anything...!
    MAKOTO: ...Eh?



    BYAKUYA: People who have been chosen just by being born don't even deserve to be called "chosen", in the truest sense.
    BYAKUYA: You fight and you win. Only then do you get to be called "chosen".
    MAKOTO: ...W...What do you mean?



    BYAKUYA: You are naive, Naegi. You're just escaping reality into a world where self satisfaction is enough.
    BYAKUYA: Escaping the struggles, the wars, the competition.
    BYAKUYA: And that's why you'll never be able to remove yourself from the worthless masses.
    BYAKUYA: Honestly, I don't even won't to be involved with someone as clueless as you.



    MAKOTO'S THOUGHTS: Togami-kun left the room, leaving behind words full with intensity.

    MAKOTO: Togami-kun... Sure was acting strangely...

    MAKOTO'S THOUGHTS: ...But he only started acting strangely in the middle of our conversation.
    MAKOTO'S THOUGHTS: Right after I said the words "born into".

    MAKOTO: What does it mean...?
