2nd rebuttal; voice (backdated to june 9th)

[superordinary]

[ The past few days have been really strange, really. And just when Naegi thought things had gone back to normal, he went ahead and got himself into some trouble. Having some actual good luck is apparently too much to ask for. ]

Can anyone hear this? [ The audio is disrtorted with static, making his voice difficult to pick out. ]

I...I'm stuck on the roof of the tower in Violet City. I don't know how I got here-- I encountered a Pokémon and then I fo-- [ The audio cuts abruptly here for a split second. ] --yself here.

I'd really appreciate some help.

[ He hastily ends the transmission there and hopes for someone with a Flying-type Pokémon to come to his rescue soon. He isn't exactly about to fall to his death any second now, but he'd really rather not sit on this roof longer than necessary. ]

( filtered to Ishimaru and Mondo later that afternoon, video; )

[ The PokéGear seems to be behaving normally now, thank god. Now that he's safe and sound on the ground, he decides to toss up a message for his classmates as there is something he really needs to address. ]

Um, guys...? Please respond as soon as possible-- I found something you ought to see. I think it's from the school.

[ Having said that, he holds up this lovely endgame spoiler in front of the camera. ]

I don't either, to be honest. [ No matter how he looks at it, nothing about the damn thing makes sense at all. If it's fake, then what is the purpose -- and if it's real, how and when was it taken? This is going to be a thing that will keep him up at night, that's for sure. He really could use Kirigiri and her brain right about now. ]

There has to be some reason behind it, but who knows what the mastermind is thinking?

[ardent]

There are reasons, Naegi-kun, but they don't seem to have any real point behind them - the only reason images like that would exist in the first place would be to make it seem like we knew each other before the incident. Right? We all would have had to have been together in the same place for those pictures to be taken.

What I mean by there being no point is that we all know it's not true. Why bother showing us something like that if we all know there's no way the pictures can exist?

pretend I actually tagged this in a timely manner

[superordinary]

It's possible he was just trying to screw with us. I was the only person who saw those other pictures since he took them away almost immediately...

[ardent]

Why leave them around in the first place, then, if he's just going to -

[...tch.]

While I shouldn't expect too much from anyone so willing to do such hideous things, this would be much simpler if his actions made any sense at all!

[One of the people he's spoken to here has said that this entire situation is obviously calculated, by someone with a lot of time and resources on their hands to plan it out; Ishimaru has a hard time reconciling that with the fact that this person has to be completely and utterly insane to even consider doing it in the first place.]
