[optimistical]

MEMORY:

During the Free Time events.



BYAKUYA: ...
BYAKUYA: How do you still not understand?



MAKOTO: ...Understand what?
BYAKUYA: I've been sacrificing all this valuable time of mine for *your* sake.
BYAKUYA: But it's all amounted to nothing. We simply have nothing to talk about.



BYAKUYA: We could talk forever and a day, and I would gain nothing from it.
MAKOTO: B-But, the more we come to understand each other—



BYAKUYA: You and I will *never* understand each other. We live in different worlds.
BYAKUYA: Our ways of life, our ways of thinking are totally incompatible. BYAKUYA: You're a loser.
BYAKUYA: So go ahead and live your loser life, make a bunch of loser friends. Then together, you can lick each other's loser wounds.
MAKOTO: You don't have to keep saying loser...
BYAKUYA: Whether your self-indulgence is a lie or not, it doesn't matter.
BYAKUYA: Whatever happens, I'm going to keep on fighting, and I'm going to keep on winning.



BYAKUYA: That's one thing that will never change.
MAKOTO: But having to win all the time...
MAKOTO: Doesn't that make your life kinda hard?



BYAKUYA: Such is the fate of the chosen.

MAKOTO'S THOUGHTS: The chosen...
MAKOTO: Listen, I've been meaning to ask you...
MAKOTO: You keep talking about "the chosen"... What does that mean, exactly?
MAKOTO: The way you say it, it seems a lot heavier than how I'd normally think of it...
BYAKUYA: ...



BYAKUYA: Fine. If I'm going to waste my time with you anyway, I may as well explain this one last thing.
BYAKUYA: I'll tell you how I became known as the Super High School Level Heir.

MAKOTO'S THOUGHTS: There's a story behind that...?



BYAKUYA: It has to do with the secret to the Togami family's prosperity. BYAKUYA: Our success comes from our family's rather... peculiar inheritance system.
MAKOTO: Peculiar inheritance—what do you mean?



BYAKUYA: You see, our family head never takes a wife.
BYAKUYA: Rather, he couples with exceptional women the world over, in order to bear as many children as possible.

MAKOTO'S THOUGHTS: All over the world...?



BYAKUYA: They then make the children compete, and only one can come out on top.
BYAKUYA: And whoever it is... earns the right to become the next head of the family.
MAKOTO: You mean... you have to fight your own brothers and sisters!?



BYAKUYA: For my battle, there were fifteen of us in total. When all was said and done, only one was still standing—the youngest brother.
BYAKUYA: Me.



BYAKUYA: In the entire history of the Togami family, the youngest male had never won.

MAKOTO'S THOUGHTS: Jeez, that sounds brutal. I can't even imagine something like that...



BYAKUYA: So, now do you understand?
BYAKUYA: I won my title in open combat.
BYAKUYA: *That* is how l became the Ultimate Affluent Progeny. I was not born into greatness. I had to earn it.



BYAKUYA: I put my life on the line, and I *earned* the right to be called the chosen.
MAKOTO: You put your life on the line...?
MAKOTO: Then... what about your siblings?



BYAKUYA: Dead.

MAKOTO: D-Dead!?



BYAKUYA: I don't mean that literally, of course.
BYAKUYA: They become dead to the family, unfit for the name of Togami.



BYAKUYA: Of course, for them it really is like death. They're forced to become one of the 99%.
BYAKUYA: One of *you*.
MAKOTO: But it must've been really hard, right?



BYAKUYA: You can't even imagine. Which is why the survivor is recognized as the chosen.
BYAKUYA: When you take over as the head of the family, all the weight of that family comes to rest on your shoulders.



BYAKUYA: That is how dedicated I am. I am forever dedicated to keep on winning.
BYAKUYA: And so I shall.



BYAKUYA: Otherwise, I would feel only pity for those I'd already defeated.

MAKOTO'S THOUGHTS: Byakuya pretty much said he carries the weight of always having to win...
MAKOTO'S THOUGHTS: Winning comes natural to him...



BYAKUYA: All I'll say at this point, is that I'm going to win *this* game, too.
BYAKUYA: It's been a long time since I've had so much fun.
BYAKUYA: I need to get as much enjoyment out of it as possible.



BYAKUYA: And in the end, I will stand victorious. I won't lose to the mastermind or you or anyone else.
BYAKUYA: Even as the rest of you fall one by one, I will live and I will win.
BYAKUYA: As long as my name is Byakuya Togami.

MAKOTO'S THOUGHTS: The finality of his statement left no room for doubt or question.
MAKOTO'S THOUGHTS: Nobody but Byakuya could talk that way and sound so convincing.
MAKOTO'S THOUGHTS: But because it's him, it seems possible that maybe that *is* his fate...
MAKOTO'S THOUGHTS: Honestly, the more I talk to him, the more I see how far apart we are.
MAKOTO'S THOUGHTS: At the same time, I feel like I understand him that much more...
MAKOTO'S THOUGHTS: At least...I *think* I do...

BYAKUYA: Now let me be crystal clear—we no longer have anything to talk about.
BYAKUYA: Do not come to me like this again.
BYAKUYA: Goodbye, loser.

MAKOTO'S THOUGHTS: I can't imagine any way Byakuya and I could ever become friends in this lifetime...
