[Of course Chisa doesn't figure into her plans. She didn't exist up until a few months ago anyway. Though there should probably be a yet after that sentence. It's pointless to make plans for who might show up or who goes home, or any of that, it's not even really worth the despair of having plans collect dust forever, especially with how Junko jumps from thing to thing to thing and then back to one of those things in the middle all in the pursuit of despair.
Plus, she knows full well that Chisa's not her sister. She doesn't have to write out instructions for her at all. Once someone's driven to seek despair, that's all they'll do. It doesn't require direction or orders, or anything like that. That's the beauty of it. Despair seeks out despair, creating more despair, and that despair gives rise to the next wave of despair and despair despair despair despair, it's all so wonderful to her.
Because even if she's disappointed with her, even if she's not happy with the direction Junko's taken in this world, whatever she does, it all benefits her anyway! She can't lose! ...which is boring, she'll make a note to throw a wrench in things somewhere down the line. But for now, she'll just take things as they are, and hey, who knows, if she has anything up her sleeve involving a certain class or certain other people, well, it's always nice to have the faculty's support, isn't it?]
Hey, I'll do that, but you know, just to make sure I don't screw up...
[The shovel's swung again, this time aimed at the knee. The flat side of it anyway, she's not going for anything lasting. Not right now anyway. Just enough to stagger her and to tell the story Junko wants told.
Think fast if you don't want to get hit Chisa.]
I mean this is sort of the only way this could end, right? We've gotta dispel any preconceived notions your students might have, so if I do things this way, it'll put their minds at ease. Plus, it totally gives them that something to rally about, and is in line with what they expect me to do. Trust me, you're not the only one who thinks I've gone soft.
[Not that they've really...forgotten what she can do, but they don't really expect her to do it. Not with how she's been playing her little game.]
And all the while, they'll rally around you, not knowing I've handed you back in the exact same condition I found you in today. So I get to do my thing, you get to do your thing, and everybody's happy. And as a teacher, that's kind of the thing you strive for, right?
[She imagines such a thing wouldn't put everyone's suspicions to rest, some of them are simply too perceptive for their own good, but with time, she knows those perceptions can be worn down. So long as someone doesn't fuck it up. But hey, what are the odds of that happening?]
