7 am, the ring of the alarm clock blared next to the ear of Mukuro Ikusaba, who with a swift move of her hand slammed the top of the device to stop the annoying sound. That was the start of her morning routine; the next part was her readying herself, so with a nice quick shower done, Mukuro then slipped into her regular clothes for school before she readied herself to cook breakfast for her and her sister. In the middle of cooking the soldier realised that her despair loving twin had not yet exited her room, she then thought it must've been her way of spiting her in the morning, or she was still truly asleep; with a sigh Mukuro ceased her cooking and walked over to Junko's door and knocked, calling her to come out, "Junko-chan! Wake up or else you are gonna be late!" there was no answer from the other side, again Mukuro knocked and called out but there was still no answer from the model. At first Mukuro thought it must've been her sister's way of inflicting despair to her, however after some time of silence from the model, the soldier got worried that something must've happened to her younger twin. So twisting the knob of the door, Mukuro entered the room cautiously but was surprised to not find the model there at all, "Where could she be?" Mukuro thought scratching her head in confusion, Mukuro then deduced that she may have gone to school already and so only made breakfast for herself instead. It was normal for Junko to go off on her own without telling the soldier, as she believed that it would inflict despair on Mukuro for worrying about her. Although, that day was different because when Mukuro arrived to school and classes had begun there was still no sign of Junko, this was also noticed by the soldier's friends whom after their class began to ask questions about the model's whereabouts.

"She wasn't at home this morning?" Makoto asked in slight shock.

Mukuro then responded with a nod before she explained that she had thought maybe she was just asleep but instead found no trace of her, "By then I thought maybe she already headed to school. And because Junko-chan likes to inflict despair, I also thought she decided not to tell me for that reason." Mukuro explained which the others didn't challenge because knowing the model's personality, it seemed like something she would do.

Nevertheless it was worrying not knowing where the model could've gone. After school had ended Mukuro quickly made her way back to her apartment with hopes that her sister was home: on the way home Makoto also separated with Kirigiri since he had to buy ingredients for dinner, so with a quick exchange of farewells the luckster quickly jogged to the nearest store and bought the ingredients he needed. "Ok that's all of it." he mused as he looked at the multiple vegetables and spices that was in his plastic bag. Makoto then made his way home but wasn't aware that a shadow was looking at him from afar and began to follow him back home. It wasn't until Makoto had made it near his home that he felt the presence that loomed behind him, not wanting the stranger to know where he was living, Makoto took a turn away from his home in hopes that he would lose the stalker during the walk he took. Throughout the time the luckster was trying to shake his pursuer off he noticed they were getting closer and closer, he began to walk faster afraid that he was about to be attacked, but this didn't work as heard the steps of the person also become faster and heavier like they were chasing him, not having a choice other than confront them Makoto stopped and turned around ready to confront his pursuer.

"Stay away from me!" he shouted at the person with all his might, "Um...Naegi-kun." upon hearing his name being called Makoto looked at the person in front of him in surprise.

The person who was following him was a girl with red hair and red eyes, she looked to be around the same age as Makoto; she just wore a large dirty and tore up shirt that exposed part of her chest, finally she was filthy with dust and soot covering every part of her body that exposed. Looking closely at the girl, Makoto could've sworn he had met the girl before, "Why does it feel like I know this girl." the girl looked at Makoto slightly afraid, her lips were quivering and held her hands close to her body as if she was afraid that the lucky student would do something to her, but despite this her eyes showed signs of relief and hope; like she now found what she was looking for after so long. "Who are you?" Makoto asked still in confusion, "Um, its me… Junko Enoshima." at that moment the world had stopped for the two, Makoto's eyes were about to burst out of its sockets as he stared at the girl in front of him.

No… it can't be… Junko Enoshima did not have red hair and eyes… she didn't wear a tore up shirt or covered herself in dust and soot… But the biggest thing that Junko Enoshima did not have was… hope!

"You can't be." Makoto said in disbelief, "Enoshima-san does not look like you or act like the way you do!" he voiced exasperated. The girl claiming to be Junko then looked down, "Please, believe me I am Junko Enoshima." she said in a broken tone, the girl then looked up showing that she had begun to cry. As tears fell to the floor the red haired girl kept on begging for the luckster to believe her, Makoto not knowing what to believe at this point just kept on questioning the girl to confirm that she was indeed Junko Enoshima, "If you are Enoshima-san then tell me something only Enoshima-san would only know." the red haired girl then began to ponder for an answer, "Um I have a twin sister named Mukuro Ikusaba who I also cause trouble for all the time because I always loved to inflict despair on others but hid it from the world." once he had heard the girl's explanation all of Makoto's doubts were washed away, "H-how?" Makoto asked in awe, "I-I-I made a wish to those stones behind the school… But then it somehow made me relive my life and before I knew it, I was already in the streets wearing these raggy clothes." the model explained, Makoto then asked Junko what was here wish and Junko told him it was too live a life in everlasting of despair. Makoto found himself not as surprised than he thought he would be, only since he was talking to the girl who was in love with the very existence of despair. Junko then asked Makoto for help to return her back to her normal, yet the luckster was hesitant he began to think that if he helped Junko return to her normal life then she would revert back to her despair loving personality, still seeing the begging eyes of the model made it hard to refuse her request, so in the end Makoto agreed to help fix Junko's problem with the stone shrine.

Taking the girl to the park, Makoto then began to instruct Junko how to return to normal, "You understand?" Makoto asked which Junko responded with a confident nod; closing her eyes Junko then began to say to herself that she was wrong for ever thinking that she wanted a life of nothing but despair, she kept saying this over and over for up to 5 minutes but after that she still noticed that she was still in her ragged torn clothes, so she turned to Makoto asking him why it wouldn't work, "I did everything you asked." Makoto didn't know the answer either, "Maybe you didn't truly regret it. Do you still enjoy despair?" Junko quickly shook her head, "No! Not at all! Ever since I had relive my life and only having to experience despair, I have just been a depressed beggar that have been making ends meet by either selling my body to anyone willing to take it or steal from someone! I don't want this life! I don't love despair anymore, I hate it, I hate it. I hate myself for loving it and wanting to inflict it to others. I just want to be back in my room and feel the warmth of the blankets of my bed and the food that my sister feeds me! And-and-and I want to be with my big sister again!" she exclaimed while bawling like a child who had lost their mother. Makoto watched in agony as the model cried, but he didn't know what to do: it was clear as day that Junko did want to return to her sister without any malice intentions but for some reason her acceptance that she was a bad person and desire to return to the warmth of her sister was not enough to return her to normal. Why?

Makoto then went back and thought about Junko's wish; she wished for 'everlasting despair'. The word that stuck out to Makoto was the word everlasting, and after realising what saying that word meant Makoto couldn't help but gasp in horror. Junko noticed this gasp and shot her head towards the luckster, "What is it?" Makoto looked at her afraid to break the news to her, "Naegi-kun?" Makoto was silent, he turned his head away not wanting to shatter her more than she already was, "Naegi-kun what is it?" Junko interrogated, grabbing the luckster by his shoulders and shaking him in order to make him talk, "I-I can't." Makoto said in pain, "W-why not?" Junko asked but the luckster just kept turning his head away from her, "Naegi-kun please!" Junko pleaded, Makoto's lips quivered as his eyes showed great regret and pain, "You wished for everlasting despair didn't you?" Makoto commented, emphasising the word 'everlasting' to the model, it only took a single second before Junko had realised why the luckster refused to say a word to her, "You-you mean I can't go back?" the luckster did not say a word but his expression said it all, there was no way of reversing the wish.

Junko released her grasp of the luckster who now turned his attention to her once more: Junko dropped to her knees as tears began to well up on the corners of her eyes, she then broke down fully as she loudly bawled; she then lowered her body to the point her arms touched the earth and her back was fully bent as she continued to cry in front of Makoto, "I know Enoshima-san had done some really despairing things in her life. But even I have to admit this is too much. If only I can do something for her." the luckster pondered with clenched fists and gritted teeth. Makoto wanted to help, he really did but what can he do? How can he fix an eternal wish? Its not like he can just wish for it… Or can he? This was the thought process that the luckster went through before he had hit the answer he was looking for. He'll just wish it away, after all he has done before for his sister, why shouldn't it work for Junko?

"I got it." he voiced which got the attention of Junko who momentarily stopped crying.

"What?" she asked with a broken voice from crying.

"I know a way of turning you back." the luckster replied, which made Junko's eyes lit up and be filled with hope.

"Now I won't guarantee it'll work, but its a shot we'll have to take for now." Makoto confessed and Junko nodded, but Makoto told her before they can continue with their plan they should call Mukuro just to tell her what happened.

After Junko explained her situation to her twin via phone, she got a lecture which the model took to heart and apologised for everything that she has done up to that point. Junko finished her conversation with Mukuro and returned the phone to Makoto who informed her that they were going to go to Fukawa's to wish for Junko's wish to end, "I'll meet you there then." Mukuro said which Makoto replied by telling her that there was no need, "Seriously we'll be fine." he said but the soldier was not having it, "She's my dumb sister, she's my responsibility, so I'm going." Makoto was impressed she actually sounded like a proper guardian very opposite to what she was before, "Hehe you actually sound like a big sister, somewhat." on the other side of the call Mukuro was smiling from the compliment, "Ok see you there then." she said before ending the call.

Makoto and Junko then made their way to Fukawa who Makoto informed of the situation prior to their arrival. Fukawa was not even that surprised that Junko made such a wish, but rather she was curious as to how she even found out about the stones, "I overheard you talking to yourself in front of the shrine. It was something about wishes and it coming true so I thought it could be the perfect opportunity." the model confessed, Fukawa mentally slapped herself for being so stupid letting the secret be found out so easily. Mukuro soon arrived and quickly walked to the living room where her sister and Makoto were sitting, when Junko laid eyes on her sister a sense of relief and fear came to her, "Nee-san!" she called out, Mukuro who stared at her sister in horror quickly ran up to her and hugged her tightly berating her gently, "You idiot why would do such a thing?" Junko couldn't help but cry at her own foolishness and hugged her sister back while crying on her shoulder apologising profusely.

Once the sisters reconciled everyone went out to Fukawa's backyard where the shrine rested at the middle, "Ok I won't guarantee it'll work. So please don't hate me if nothing happens." Makoto said to the others, but they all assured him that they won't blame him since he is already doing a lot for them, so with that said the luckster took some coins out and placed them on the wooden plate, he then began to pray asking the shrine to end Junko's everlasting despair. At first there was nothing happening and everyone thought that the wish may have not gone the way they wanted it to, but not long after they had the thought Junko began to groan and clutch her stomach, "Junko-chan!" Mukuro then supported her sister who was about to fall to the ground, she lifted her back up to her feet and kept her up standing, "It hurts nee-san." Junko complained through gritted teeth. Mukuro watched in horror as her sister writhed in pain, the two other women then noticed that Junko's hair started to turn back into its blonde colour with its tips dyed pink, this indicated to them that the wish had worked and Junko was back to her regular self albeit still wearing rags for clothes. The pain that the model soon disappeared and she stood back up looking at herself, "I'm back!" she exclaimed in joy, Mukuro was glad that the wish had worked and hugged her sister to express her happiness, "I'm so glad." she said with teary eyes as she and Junko embraced each other.

Fukawa watched with a smile but soon realised she had to check up on Makoto, "Naegi-kun-" her eyes quickly widened in horror when she saw the luckster had collapsed, she shouted his name as she ran by his side and knelt down to check up on her friend, the twins heard the writer's cry and focused their attention to the collapsed luckster, the two also rushed next to the fallen boy and saw that he was red; Fukawa placed her hand on Makoto's forward and found out that he had gotten a blazing fever, "He's burning up." she informed the two. Mukuro with her soldier strength carried the luckster inside Fukawa's house and laid him on her couch, Fukawa rushed to her kitchen and soaked a towel in cold water before she returned to Makoto and placed it on his forehead. Once the fiasco had died down Fukawa and the others continued to cater to the ill boy, Fukawa had told the twins that she will take care of him for the night but the twins insisted to stay out of concern, without much of a fight Fukawa let them stay the night and informed the luckster's sister of the situation.

Over at the Naegi household Komaru was now pacing back and forth worried about the situation that her brother found himself in, nevertheless all she could in the meantime was to wait and see if Makoto would wake up safe and sound.

When the next morning had come Fukawa was the first to wake up, she yawned and scratched her head as she walked into her living room still half asleep, but she soon fully woke up when her eyes landed on the luckster who was now awake. Makoto looked at her with a blank expression before it slowly turned into an expression of confusion, "Naegi-kun you're awake." she said happily, but Makoto didn't answer back and continued to look at her confused.

"Um, are you talking to me?"

Fukawa and Makoto stared at each other in silence, "Wh-what?" Fukawa asked with a nervous laugh at the end, "You-you're playing a prank on me right?" Makoto didn't answer back and only tilted his head to the side in confusion. Mukuro woke up shortly after scratching her belly as she walked in on the two Ultimates staring at each other, "What's going on?" the soldier asked half asleep, Fukawa then turned to her in horror as she explained that Makoto had lost his memories; this revelation woke the soldier up who now stared at the luckster wide eyed.

"Naegi-kun do you really not know us?" she asked in fear and the boy just shook his head, so even though the luckster has forgotten about them he still knew who he was.

"Do I know you people? Moreover where am I? I was just at the hospital before I fell asleep." Mukuro and Fukawa exchanged glances, they then told Makoto to sit down so that they can start explaining the situation: but before they could explain everything to the boy, Mukuro questioned him regarding what he knew about himself, his answer shocked the two girls. Makoto had told them he was at the hospital since his sister was sick and that he went to a small shrine at the hospital to pray for her, then afterwards he just fell asleep and found himself in the home Fukawa. Mukuro then excused herself along with Fukawa before she grabbed the writer and dragged her away from the luckster.

"What is it?" the writer asked, the soldier then turned to her and informed the writer that she knew the story Makoto had just told them about.

Fukawa's eyes widened as she grabbed Mukuro's shoulders and shook her slightly, "You do?" the writer questioned in shock and the soldier merely nodded in response prior to her explaining that Makoto had told her the story when she was under the effects of her own wish.

"Naegi-kun has been an amnesiac for four years?" Fukawa couldn't believe it, the boy has never actually mentioned it before, but thinking back she realised the luckster never once talked about his childhood all that much, but she boiled it down to him embarrassed of his past,

"What should we do?" Fukawa answered but before the soldier can answer her, the doorbell rang.

Fukawa answered the door and found that Komaru had come for her brother, "Ah Komaru-chan." Komaru greeted the writer then asked if he was ok, "Uh yeah, he's fine...but ..." Fukawa then looked away with a pained expression which made Komaru also worried, "Fukawa-san, what's happened to my brother?" she asked but the writer wouldn't answer, Komaru pushed further her voice showing frustration. Fukawa soon broke and told the younger Naegi everything, she then rushed inside and called her brother who was shocked to see her all grown up and cured of her illness.

"Komaru?!" the boy exclaimed.

Komaru stared at Makoto as she approached him slowly, "Onii-chan?" Makoto nodded at the young girl, but Komaru began to move away from her brother which worried Makoto. "What's wrong?" Makoto asked with slight fear evident in his voice, "Its me." Makoto said but Komaru shook her head.

"My brother, he lost his memories. I was young then, but I remember it clearly, because I remembered my mom crying when she and my dad explained that my brother forgot everything."

Four years ago, Komaru found out her brother had lost his memories, being a child who had not fully understood the concept of amnesia yet, she still treated him like she would any other day; but she did notice that her brother was acting strange. It took her parents explaining to her that Makoto had forgotten about her and them that she finally understood that the person who she met after her illness was cured, was no longer her brother. Afterwards Komaru had to make memories with the new Makoto and although the new Makoto was not that different from his old version, she noticed he was much more kinder and less of a downer than before though. Despite the challenges of making new memories with her 'new' brother Komaru found herself enjoying herself more than ever before when she was with her old brother.

"But its me Komaru you're brother." Makoto pleaded but Komaru shook her head once more.

"You were my brother, but now my brother is the Makoto Naegi who has been by my side despite not knowing who I was when he opened his eyes without any memories." she stated with tears in her eyes, Makoto began to tremble, his eyes widened in agony as his mouth hung like it was trying to say something but no words would escape.

Komaru then ran out of the house in tears while Makoto tried to reach out to her but was unsuccessful, "Komaru-chan!" Fukawa called out as she ran after the crying girl. Meanwhile back at the house Makoto sat with the shrine staring at it stricken with grief, "You don't want to chase after her?" the voice of the soldier snapped the boy from his sulk and made him turn to her, "This isn't the Makoto Naegi I know." she scolded with arms folded, "Of course, because I'm not the Makoto Naegi you know." the boy echoed as he turned back to the shrine, "Why won't you go after your sister?" Mukuro asked but Makoto wouldn't answer he just continued to sulk, "Are that much of a coward? Your sister just ran out of the house crying and you're here sulking like a child." Mukuro reprimanded with disappointment in her voice, "Well what do you want me to do?!" Makoto asserted with frustration, "I don't know what's happened during the time I was gone. All I remember is that Komaru was ill when I made the wish, so its not like I can easily worm my way back into her life." the luckster explained. Mukuro stayed silent for a couple of seconds before she sighed then began to tell Makoto of what he has done for her and the rest of the girls when they found themselves lost.

"When we couldn't find our way out of the despair filled life we led, you were the one who guided us; me especially. I couldn't accept the fact that I needed to be a firm older sister, but Naegi-kun made me realise that love doesn't just have to be letting my little sister do as she wants…" as Mukuro told her story the luckster was wondering what that had to do with his current situation, "Naegi-kun taught me that facing my sister right in the face was much more loving than always having to look at her back and follow her like a dog. What I'm basically saying is, stop running away and just looking at your sister's back; find her and look her in the eyes and tell her you love her." Mukuro thought she would never be as good with words as the luckster, but she needed to give it a shot to at least make the boy in front of her move.

Makoto began to stir as he began to ponder what amazing things his other version must've done. "It sounds like the other me has really changed people's lives." the soldier turned around and entered the house, leaving the boy on his own. "You did all you can onee-chan." Mukuro turned her head to the side and saw that her little sister was up and was eavesdropping on the conversation, "Its not nice to eavesdrop Junko-chan." Junko apologised immediately and with sincerity, and this somewhat surprised the soldier, she wasn't completely used to the new kinder Junko.

Soon they saw the luckster walk out of the house, "Where do you think he is going?" Junko asked but Mukuro knew exactly where he was going, "To his sister of course. He may not be the Naegi-kun we know but he is still a brother. And no loving brother wants to have a bad relationship with their sibling." Mukuro explained which Junko actually understood because ever since she has lived through despair filled life she has learned that being with family was the best feeling any person could yearn for, which is one of the reasons why she wanted to return to her normal life. She had learned to be more compassionate.

Makoto walked down the empty streets, head cast down, pondering whether or not he should stay as he was now or wish for his other self to return. "If I wish to give my body to the other me, then Komaru would be happy… But then what's gonna happen to me?" thoughts similar to these played in Makoto's head, for he truly feared disappearing once more. As he continued to walk down the street he heard a couple of voices that belonged to his sister and Fukawa, "Do you really not want this version of Makoto?" the writer asked, Komaru had her hands on her head while she slumped forward, "Its not that I don't want this version, its just that... " the younger Naegi paused which opted the writer to push her for an answer.

"He should be dead." she said in a raspy voice.

Fukawa was stunned and so was Makoto hiding behind a tree, listening in on the conversation. "Dead?" Fukawa asked terrified before she started to laugh, "C-co-come on Komaru-chan let's not start joking around now." Fukawa was hoping that Komaru would just laugh as well and tell her it was a joke, but the younger was not laughing but rather she had the most serious expression painted on her face. "Ho-how can he be dead?" Fukawa asked, Komaru then asked her what Makoto remembers before he had lost his memories, "He said that he made a wish to a stone shrine behind the hospital when you were ill." Komaru then sighed and looked at Fukawa with an apologetic face, "That is not what happened at all." Fukawa jumped back with sweat of anxiety dripping down the side of her face.

"I was not the one who was ill, it was Onii-chan who became ill. He came down with a high fever, one day when we tried to visit him in the hospital we found out that he went missing. We soon found him in front of a stone shrine collapsed and was burning up. When he finally recovered from his fever, we were informed that he had lost his memories; so you see? The story that Onii-chan told you was not the real one." Fukawa 's eyes widened in disbelief, while Komaru just stayed silent.

Makoto was just as surprised when he learned that what he remembered was not the same as Komaru's, "There's now way that I was the one whio got ill. I remembered how Komaru was in a hospital bed, I remembered giving the money to the shrine! So there's no way what Komaru says is true!" Makoto's head then suddenly began to ache, quickly clutching the sides of his head Makoto then began to writhe in pain, but despite the pain he made sure not to get caught so he quickly made his way out of the park. As Makoto stumbled and staggered from the pain he also began to remember the memories of the time he was in the hospital. They were not the ones he was aware of, it was new ones; ones that showed different scenes: it still showed the time he was at the shrine but instead he didn't put any money instead it looked like he was talking to someone before he collapsed. After he had the memory Makoto's head stopped aching, but this then resulted in him collapsing on the street.

Komaru and Fukawa soon returned to Fukawa's house where they were met by Mukuro and Junko who had made breakfast for them as thanks for letting them stay the night. "This is delicious Ikusaba-san." Fukawa said as she took a bite of a piece of bacon, she relished the crispy texture and the sweet and salty taste that came with it, "She's right this really is delicious." Komaru added. Mukuro smiled at the compliments, she was glad they were enjoying the food, but she was even more glad that she followed the cookbook that Makoto had given her before.

The girls were snapped out of their savoury conversation by the sound of the front door closing and several footsteps making their way to them. "He's back." Mukuro said, which made the writer and younger Naegi turn to her confused, "Who's back?" Fukawa asked so Mukuro quickly explained that the luckster left to find them two, "Guess he wasn't successful." the girls kept their gazes on the corner where the luckster would turn, not a second too long he appeared out of the corner and looked at them. "They said they were in the nearby park." Mukuro said but the luckster didn't say a thing and only stood in front of everyone staring; confused the girls asked if he was alright but the luckster just stood there quietly, small drops of sweat then began to form and slide down the faces of the girls, "Onii-chan?" Komaru called slightly creeped out at the silence of her brother, the younger Naegi then thought she was at fault and quickly apologised "If its what I said earlier I'm sorry...I know that it was harsh, I shouldn't have said it." but nothing, Makoto was still silent. At that point the girls were now thoroughly afraid, "Do not worry, your brother is safe." Makoto said which served to confuse the others, "Ah I see, you must not understand what is going on. I am not Makoto Naegi I am what you would call… the god of the stone shrine." the boy who called himself the god of the shrine informed, "What, are you talking about?" Komaru asked still slightly afraid, "Let me explain."

The god then explained to the other how for the longest of time he watched over all of the stone shrines that were scattered around the city. He would grant the wishes of those he found worthy of his powers and almost immediately they would feel the effects; but one day he met Makoto who had visited one of the shrines: specifically the shrine behind the hospital where he collapsed. He revealed himself to Makoto who seemed to not know what the shrine was, he explained how if he made a wish on the shrine the wish would be granted and suggested that he should make one to cure him of his illness; however rather than actually make a wish, the boy told the god that although he is tempted he doesn't want to use a shrine since its not fair on the people who are currently inside the hospital and was in more critical states.

"Ever since then I always made sure that wishes made on my shrine was that of humility and not of selfishness. If the wish had selfish roots then I would grant the wish with a consequence." the god explained but the three girls who already experienced the consequences merely looked down in shame, "But despite the fact that my eyes were opened by Makoto Naegi, I had to see if he was always kind and selfless. So when I healed him…"

"You took his memories away." Mukuro cut in and the god nodded in response.

"What?! You took his memories because you didn't trust that he was a good person?!" Komaru exploded, the man who was in front of her in her brother's body was the one who gave her family despair, "You have any idea how much my brother had to go through since his memories were taken away?! People left him behind because he could not remember them. He was alone for a long time!" Komaru shouted as tears formed on the corners of her eyes, "But even then...even then...even then he still stayed as a kind, selfless person." despite the amount of anger Komaru had put into her voice, the god didn't seem to be affected by the young girl's scolding.

"Be assured now, I have decided to stop my wish granting after seeing that it has made Makoto Naegi quite miserable after I had decided to return his old memories. I even thought that the return of his memories would be a joyous occasion but clearly I was wrong." the god admitted with a sigh.

"What made you think that returning Naegi-kun's memories now would be joyous?" Mukuro asked in an annoyed manner.

"I returned his memories as a form of reward because he had wished for the sake of someone else, that act was enough for me to realise that even if he didn't have his old memories he was still a kind boy." the girls were speechless, they couldn't really rebuke him for doing since he did return what he took away but it was just far too late. Makoto had already accustomed his life without his past so returning them so suddenly and then taking away the life he lived after his amnesia is like returning to an old city where things have changed and one feels lost for being gone after so long; that was the feeling that the girls associated with Makoto.

Since he had said what he wanted to say the god said his farewells before leaving through the front door, "Ah!" Junko suddenly said making everyone snapped their heads towards the model, "What is it Junko-chan?" Junko then turned to her sister and screamed, "We forgot to tell the god to return Makoto's memories!" a small moment of silence befell the room before they all started to scream in frustration.

Meanwhile Makoto Naegi woke up at the park on a bench, he groaned as he sat up while rubbing his head, "Where am I? Last I remember I was at Fukawa-san's." the boy said to himself, he then looked up and his eyes immediately widened in shock as he saw what seemed to be him standing in front of him, it was the god. "Hello there." the god greeted however Makoto was petrified and couldn't reply. "I suppose this is quite a sight." the god chuckled before his smile turned into one full of sadness, "I must apologise to you Makoto Naegi." hearing this snapped Makoto out of his trance, the god then started to bow and apologised once more, "I am sorry for I am the one who has taken your memories away from you." Makoto's eyes widened in shock, "You took my memories away? I thought it was the consequence of wishing on the stone shrine." the god then looked up at Makoto, "Well yes and no: Yes, because I am the god of the stone shrines and no because it was not your wish that caused you to gain amnesia; in fact you did not make a wish at all. You collapsed, I healed you and then I gave you a false memory in order to cover up what I did." the god had an expression of guilt and Makoto could see that, "Have you returned my memories?" the luckster inquired, "Yes, I have but the consequence was that the you now cannot exist, and due to your sister and friends being adamant that it is far too late, I decided to return your memories that you gained after your memory lost." Makoto looked down slightly disappointed that he still could not gain his old memories back, "Do you wish to gain those memories back?" the god asked and the luckster shot his head up at him before looking away with a pained look, "I want those memories back… but I don't want to forget the people I have bonded with." Makoto then went silent as he began to ponder his decision, following a short silence Makoto sighed, "I don't know! I don't want to live knowing that I am not the Makoto Naegi that my mother gave birth to, but at the same time I don't want to leave behind the friends I have made and I-I don't want to go!" Makoto shouted with tears streaming down his cheeks.

The god walked up to the crying luckster and knelt in front of him, "There is no need to feel that you will be a bad person for yearning to live Makoto Naegi. You are human, and that sense of yearning is what makes humans, humans. So long as you are happy with your life then there is nothing wrong with your wish." the god then stood back up before turning his back to the luckster, "I will make it easy for you Makoto Naegi. I will not let you make your wish, instead I will take your ability to make the wish. So instead I leave you with this." he then turned to the luckster and asked...

"Are you happy with your life?"

Moving like a speeding bullet through the tracks the train sped past the several houses as it revealed the pristine blue sea that hid behind the buildings.

"Wow look at that!" the young Naegi gushed, her eyes sparkling in excitement.

"Komaru sit yourself down before you hurt yourself." her brother scolded.

"But Onii-san its the sea!"

"I know but still sit down." Komaru pouted before following her brother's orders and sat herself back on the seat.

"Komaru-chan sure is excited isn't she?" Makoto turned his head to the girl accompanying him and nodded.

"Yeah she hasn't been to the sea in a while and she's missed it." a giggle escaped the soldier's mouth who then proceeded to thank the luckster for inviting her to their outing, "Yeah thanks Naegi-kun!" added Junko who then inserted herself into the conversation via her sister's armpit, "Yes Naegi-kun thank you for your invitation." the detective thanked from across the isle followed by Fukawa and Chihiro who nodded as a way of saying they too were thankful.

"Its nothing you guys, the more the merrier after all." the luckster replied to the other with a smile.

Suddenly the luckster felt a tug on his sleeve and turned his attention back to his sister who was looking at him with a pout, "How much longer?" she questioned, the luckster merely gave her a smile before he began to pet her head, "We're nearly there so just hang in there ok?" Komaru then asked if he was sure to which the luckster replied with a nod, this caused the younger Naegi to smile brightly knowing they were close to their destination.

They soon arrived at their destination, the beach, and as soon as she stepped foot on the warm yellow sand Komaru began to run around the beach before running to the ocean, whilst tossing her clothes away revealing her two piece bright green swimsuit underneath. "Ahh Komaru your clothes!" her brother shouted as he ran after her to pick the pieces of clothing up from the sand.

After settling down everyone changed into their swimwear: which consisted of the girls wearing plain two piece swimsuits different colours: red for Junko, black for Mukuro and purple for Kyoko, the only exception was Fukawa who wore her school swimsuit, while Makoto wore a pair of forest green swimming trunks.

Stabbing the parasol on the sand Makoto opened the large umbrella and laid a large mat across the floor, "There we go." the luckster said triumphantly, "Good job Naegi-kun" looking up Makoto spotted the soldier walking up to him with water dripping down her body and hair. Seeing her slender figure made the lucky student's cheeks go red which fortunately for him, went unnoticed by the soldier, "Yeah, I'm glad that we can all just relax now." the boy said as he sat down on the mat. Makoto couldn't see the soldier, so he didn't catch wind that she was fidgeting in her place with a blush blatantly painted on her cheeks, she then turned her head to the side and closed her eyes, "Nae-Naegi-kun?" she called, "Hmm? What is it?" the luckster responded looking at the soldier, "What do you think?" the soldier asked as she presented her chest and outfit more prominently. Least to say Makoto was beet red, he began to stutter as he tried desperately to get some words out of his mouth; but all that came out were gibberish, seeing the boy struggle made the girl forget all about her embarrassment and as a result she ended up bursting into giggles, "I suppose I shouldn't be surprised; its just how he is." while Makoto was flustered Mukuro grabbed his wrist snapping him out of his panic.

"Come on Naegi-kun let's not make the others wait." Mukuro said as she pulled the luckster towards the sea.

Meanwhile Makoto began to entertain a thought: it was the question the god asked him, "Are you happy with your life?" that question had been looping in Makoto's head and he quickly remember how he didn't even have time to answer the god because after the question was presented the god disappeared. Yet whether the god was or wasn't there didn't matter, Makoto couldn't easily answer him right there and then anyways; however after the luckster looked back on his time in Hope's Peak: the times he helped Mukuro and the girls; all the good and bad moments with them, every struggle and resolution: he remembered it all.

With a small smile on his lips Makoto looked up to the others and in his mind he answered the god's question…

"I am happy with my life. After all, these amazing people are with me, what's not to be happy about?"

Ok this chapter was way shorter, yes its actually half the size of the other chapters. I had originally planned more chapters but due to writer's block I could not make them. Nevertheless I hope you all enjoyed this story, it was based off of 'Rascal does not dream of bunny girl senpai' which by the way is amazing, I highly recommend you all watch it.
