The hosts who can be chosen by the Fragments of Despair are all ordinary people.

No matter how intelligent she seemed, no matter how obsessed she said she was with despair, she was still just an ordinary person.

She was even aware of how much hatred and despair she felt.

Iceland Kotoba has a hereditary mental illness, and in fact Iceland Akiha also has it, but this disease is very subtle and is more manifested in self-deception. Her life is too painful, so she deceives herself and then believes it. This is Iceland Akiha.

"Besides that man, what else can you say?" Iceland Akiha said, "You've been remembering a dead person for so many years, and you still want me to remember it with you, huh? Why?"

"I am your daughter, not your trash can."

Bingdao Yanting danced with joy, "I don't have a daughter! Who are you? Don't pretend to be my daughter!"

"Mr. Hinata, is this your plan?" Akiha Hyoshima looked at Kamukura Izuru sarcastically, "What a stupid idea."

"Whether it is stupid or not, you will know it soon." Kamiya Izuru's voice was very low, and his red eyes were full of coldness. "After all, the reason why your mother forgot you is your own fault."

"Huh?" Iceland Akiha said coldly, "You think you can scare me like this? You must be kidding."

If Bingdao Yanting hadn't remembered Bingdao Akiba at the beginning, the government wouldn't have allowed Bingdao Yanting to raise her alone, and Bingdao Akiba wouldn't have lived with her for so long. So, at the beginning, Bingdao Yanting knew that she had a daughter, but she forgot.

Because of the turntable.

Iceland Akiha wondered: Why do all the other people have such a wonderful life, but only she has to live such a hard life, facing everyone's strange looks and pitying tones.

Every word the teacher said, every attempt to help was like a stab into her heart, so she couldn't bear it anymore. She wanted to escape from here, to escape from this kind of life.

But Bingdao Yanting did not allow her to go to college. In Bingdao Yanting's abnormal mind, she clearly remembered that her husband went to a faraway place and never came back. She was afraid that her daughter would also follow her husband and never come back.

So, she kept on stopping the abnormal mother from doing things as shameless as a child, trying to protect her daughter.

But in the eyes of Iceland Akiha, this is hatred.

"Yes, that turntable did tie up my great mother, because I wanted to see what else was in her heart that she cared about." Iceland Akiha sneered.

Her abnormal mother did not have ten good qualities. In fact, there were only two names in her world. One was called: Iceland Sheng, who was her husband, and the other was called: Iceland Akiha.

The pointer of the turntable stopped on Iceland Akiha's name. At that moment, Iceland Akiha got the answer and also lost her mother.

"It's so hopeless, Mr. Hinata, you should understand, right?" Iceland Akiha pushed her mother away, staring at Kamizuru with dim eyes, "She loves me, but she doesn't know how to love me. All the obstacles are hurting me, so, isn't this good?"

"She no longer loves me, and I am free."

"This is despair, but also not despair." Iceland Akiha laughed, "Don't be condescending and accuse me of anything, because you are not me and you will never know what I have been through."

Blame? No, Kamizakura Izuru will not blame anything.

In his opinion, this is a very boring thing. He has countless ways to solve the predicament that Akiha Iceland once faced. Things that cannot cause trouble to him will never be despair, so Kamijou Izuru will not empathize with him at all, let alone understand anything.

“This is the best ending!”

"No."

Kamuzuru Izuru suddenly spoke.

The night wind blew up the corners of his clothes. Kamiya Izuru looked at her calmly, "You have always been in despair. You don't care about her as much as you say."

"Huh? Do you have evidence?"

"Because you've always been in despair."

"I didn’t!"

"Your despair is not because your mother prevented you from entering college, nor is it because she forgot about you because of the turntable." Kamiya Izuru's voice was as calm as ever, but Iceland Akiha felt as if her whole heart was seen through. She subconsciously covered her chest, her eyes full of hatred.

Why? Why did it suddenly change?

How did that weak and desperate policeman suddenly become like this?

He doesn't like to talk, has cold eyes, and... acts like he knows everything.

"Your despair."

Iceland Akiha's heart was pounding.

"Your mother forgot you so easily, but she couldn't forget your dead father so easily." Kamuzuru Izuru said, "You lose. To your mother, your father is more important than you. He is someone she will never forget."

"Oh."

Iceland Akiha couldn't help but sneer.

"Honey, where are you?" Bingdao Yanting shouted while sitting on the ground, "It's so cold here, I miss you."

"Please come back soon. I don't want the skirt anymore. I don't want anything anymore."

Even now, this woman is still calling out for the dead man. Even if she is going crazy, even if she is tied to the turntable, she insists on not forgetting that person. Even now, the turntable is still turning, reluctant to stop again. Iceland Akiha never compares anything, but for the first time, she realizes so clearly how much of a failure she is.

Even her only mother doesn't love her.

Iceland Akiha is not a self-denying person, so she said: It's the world's fault.

She wants to destroy the world.

"Do you want to do an experiment?" Kamukura Izuru walked over and said, "Let's verify whether the mother you care about really cares about you."

"What are you talking about?!"

"The Fragment of Despair will become stronger as the host becomes more desperate, and as the host, you will get more spinners." Kamukura Izuru said, "This is a sure win for you. Whether you succeed or fail, it's the best choice."

Iceland Akiha retreated subconsciously. She retreated step by step and finally leaned against the door of the rooftop.

She put her hands behind her back, but found that the door had been locked at some point and she couldn't swing it open.

"Don't come over here..."

Kamukura Izuru grabbed Hijima Akiha's arm with his uninjured left arm. It was difficult for a high school student to escape the attack of an adult male even if he only had one hand that could move.

Iceland Akiha hurriedly took out the gun from her dress, but at the moment she fired, she let out a scream.

Her gun exploded in her hand, and fragments of the gun pierced her palm.

Kamiya Izuru brought her directly to the edge of the rooftop, and he pressed her down.

"This is the highest floor of the hospital. A normal person would die if they fell down." Kamiya Izuru said, "But, did you see? There is a very simple platform there. You can stand on it so that you won't fall down, but you can't come back either."

“That’s the rules of the game.”

Then, amidst the screams of Akiha Iceland, Kamijou Izuru threw her over directly, and Akiha Iceland fell on a one-meter-wide platform. She looked around helplessly, and deep terror continued to envelop her.

She wanted to return to the safety of the rooftop, but she was not tall enough to reach the rooftop railing.

"Aren't you a policeman?!" Iceland Akiba shouted, "You are committing murder!"

"Maybe." Kamuzuru Izuru sat on the railing. "I often wonder: what is the use of the so-called rules that restrict people? Because for me, as long as there is no trace left, it is equivalent to not doing it."

Iceland Akiha opened her eyes wide, and she sat down tremblingly, "...No, don't do this."

Not many people know that Iceland Akiha actually has a slight fear of heights, or rather, most people have fear of heights at times, especially when there is no solid ground around and they have to curl up on a platform less than one meter high. Iceland Akiha cried, and at that moment, she seemed to have really become a 17-year-old girl.

"Mom." Iceland Akiha shouted subconsciously: "Save me, save me."

"I'm so scared, Mom."

Kamizuru thought: How boring.

You say you don't care, but your tears and fear keep telling you: you really care.

A person who keeps deceiving herself cannot deceive her own heart at the last moment. She cried and called for her mother, as if she had forgotten all the words she had said before.

Why do people like to deceive themselves?

Thinking of this, Kamijou Izuru turned his head to look to the side. Hyodo Kotobuki heard the sound. She stood up quietly, then leaned on the railing and looked at the crying girl.

The girl's crying kept awakening her memory. The crazy woman in ragged clothes and tangled hair looked at her blankly, "Why are you crying? Did your husband leave you too?"

“…Mom.”

"I'm not your mother." Bingdao Yanting said, and then she paused, "I don't have...a daughter?"

"No." Bingdao Yanting said, "I should have a daughter. Her name is Xiaoyezi."

"My little leaf."

Kamuzuru Izuru stepped back step by step, leaving the place to the mother and daughter.

On the third turntable in the small dark room, no, it should be said that on the first turntable, the options on top separated little by little, and finally a new option squeezed out in the middle, and this option was: daughter.

"Xiao Yezi!" Bingdao Yanting suddenly opened his eyes wide, "Xiao Yezi, why are you here? Mommy is here, Mommy is here to save you now!"

Bingdao Yanting climbed over the railing and stretched out her hand to Bingdao Qiuye, "Xiaoye, hold on to mommy's hand."

"mother?"

Bingdao Qiuye was stunned for a moment, tears in her eyes. She looked at her mother in disbelief, tears of joy in her eyes. She stood up almost subconsciously and stretched out her hand to her mother, but her height made it impossible for her to grab Bingdao Yanting's hand.

"Jump up, mom will catch you!" Bingdao Yanting shouted.

"But……"

However, if she couldn't hold her mother's hand, she would stay here forever, and the police might come immediately and catch her.

Not only would she not be able to go to college, she might even end up in jail.

So, so…

A flash of tenacity appeared in Iceland Akiha's eyes, and she jumped forward, but at the moment she grabbed Iceland Kotobuki's hand, he saw Kamijou Izuru's cold eyes.

Huh? Huh? ?

"Goodbye." Kamuzuru Izuru said, "After all, it was you who chose despair."

The turntable that was tied to Iceland Kotobuki slowly stopped, and finally stopped at the option of 'daughter'. The fragments of despair made a crisp sound, and laughed miserably like a ghost. The option disappeared from the turntable. Iceland Kotobuki suddenly lowered her head, and after a moment she looked at Iceland Akiha in confusion.

"Who are you?"

Bingdao Yanting looked unhappy, "Why did you pull me?"

"Mom, Mom!"

"I don't have a daughter." Bingdao Yanting said, "I'm going to find my husband. Do you want to chat with me? Let's chat next time."

Iceland Kotobuki let go of his hand.

In the few seconds when the stone fell, Akiha felt that a very long time had passed. Her mind was blank, but her eyes were always looking at her mother.

It never stops until death.

It was the fragment of despair that killed her, and it was also she who killed herself.

A piece of broken black debris floated up from downstairs, and there was silence downstairs.

A serious car accident occurred on a street not far away. Doctors and police were rushing to rescue the injured. Most of the people in the empty hospital building were asleep. Only the patients on the first floor heard the sound. They opened the windows and then let out miserable screams.

Kamijou Izuru looked at the piece of despair, he stretched out his hand, and the fragment instantly penetrated into his body.

The host of the Fragment of Despair died. After losing its host, the Fragment of Despair had to choose a new host. Now there was a ready-made person of despair standing here. It was only too normal for the Fragment of Despair to choose Hinata Sou.

This was also part of Kamizuru's plan.

In the spiritual world, Hinata Hajime sat on the ground. He looked at the fragments of despair swirling around him, and there was not much emotion in his green eyes.

"Despair fragment?" Hinata Hajime asked, "Is Akiha Ice Island dead?"

"The Fragment of Despair wanted more despair, so Akiha Hyoujima died." Kamukura Izuru replied: "It chose you."

Hinata Sou lowered his head, "I have never been chosen by hope, and I have never become hope. This is the first time I have been chosen by despair."

"It's not a good thing to be hopeful or to be despair."

"Well." Hinata Hajime poked the fragment of despair in front of him, "Naegi is a good person."

But Naegi is honestly too standard.

He is a typical good man with a selfless spirit. He is the spiritual leader of the Hope Organization and an integrator of countless good qualities. Even Enoshima Junko thinks he is the most powerful enemy in her life. He is full of halo and is as beautiful as a phantom.

Hinata Hajime is just an ordinary person who can be deceived and hurt, and will become desperate after being hit.

He could never be Makoto Naegi.

It will never be hope.

"Don't worry, I'm just thinking about something." Hinata Hajime looked at the fragment of despair in front of him, "I won't hurt anyone. This fragment of despair needs to be activated by humans, so as long as I don't continue, no one will be hurt anymore."

"Yeah." Hinata Hajime repeated, "I was just thinking about something."

Kamijou Izuru sat next to Hinata Hajime, "I know what you are thinking."

"Of course, we are one person after all." Hinata Hajime forced a smile, "Besides, even if we are not one person, you will still know what I am thinking."

"No." Izuru Kamida suddenly said.

Hinata Hajime was stunned for a moment, "What?"

"If we weren't alone, I wouldn't know what you were thinking, because it would be boring."

"Ah..." Hinata Sou was helpless.

What this means is that if they were not alone, Kamiza Izuryu wouldn't even care what he was thinking. After all, Hinata Hajime was so ordinary and so boring. If they were not alone, Kamiza Izuryu wouldn't care about an ordinary person at all.

What a realistic and helpless answer.

"But we are one person." Kamuzuru Izuru said, "That's why I care about these things."

"This world is really boring. The future I can see is less than the last world. If I don't have you, I won't do anything."

"So, your existence is necessary and correct."

Hinata Hajime raised his head and looked at Kamukura Izuru, "It must... and it must be correct?"

"Yes." Kamuzuru Izuru said, "For me, Hyuga Hajime must exist."

"That's it." Hinata Sou lowered his head and held his shoulder with one hand. Crystal clear tears overflowed from his eyes and fell on the Fragment of Despair. The Fragment of Despair trembled and white light emerged from the broken shell.

They were back to back, without hugging, kissing, or even holding hands.

But things are different now.

The spiritual world gradually recovered, Mirror Lake returned to its original appearance, the sun shone on them, and a few birds flew across the pale sky.

Countless roses are blooming around the beautiful Mirror Lake.
