[The sudden, passionate declaration doesn't cut cleanly through Munakata's rage, but it does stay his hand; it's so unlike the earlier tone, so emotionally-charged that it literally shoots through the air, that he can't react any other way.
So he listens. He afforded Naegi the same luxury, and as he listens to 'Kamukura' spout out what basically amounts to more of the same, he finds a cold chill running down his spine.]
You talk like him. Not precisely the same, but enough. [His voice is peculiarly flat as he refers to Naegi. He had stated his beliefs to Naegi before and the possible planned outcome of their killing game, but to hear 'Kamukura' speak so much like Naegi is in itself terrifying.
Despair disguised as hope. Here it was, right before his eyes. His only solace was that they were in this different world, and not their own.]
Every path forward requires sacrifice. That is the ugly truth of the world. While you stood on the sidelines, doing nothing, many people laid down their lives to combat despair. While you watched the world burn, others tried to pick up the pieces and safeguard what was left. You think they turned to killing out of some sense of superiority? Do not insult them while you bemoan your inaction.
[Every sentence was like its own lance of ice, gleaming and defined in the frost around him.] You seem to think that I am blind to the chaos outside of the despair Enoshima and your kind wrought. Ultimate Despair exacerbated the problems of the world. Increased them dramatically. Do you deny that? Remove it from the equation and the rest will once again be manageable.
I do not have to kill you and yours here to know you are condemned; this world may not care about what you are, but ours does. Simply by being alive, you are symbols of all that is wrong in the world.
Do you see? Ultimate Despair would be better off dead.
munakata has no chill right now and I am sorry
