[Hinata exhales slowly, palming his hand over his hair. Pushing it back shows the scars lining his forehead for an instant, but he's not thinking about that, he's thinking about... everything as he stands just in front of her. Whether or not she'll believe him oddly doesn't occur to him. He can... worry about that afterward.
Hell, he himself didn't want to believe any of this at that time. Things are different now, but still.]
Enoshima went to Hope's Peak. While she was there... she brainwashed all kinds of people. She was "Super High School Level Despair", but she also made other people like her. People with talents, people who'd do anything for despair. They'd kill people close to them, offer them up, mutilate themselves, brainwash, manipulate, it didn't matter; they were all loyal to her.
...I don't know what happened to all of them, but there were fifteen who survived. They were found by the Future Foundation... they were going to have them killed, because what happened to the world, how bad it got had everything to do with them. But they... [No, that's not right. He has to say it.] We were rescued by someone named Naegi Makoto.
He put us in the New World Program even though it was in an experimental stage and erased our memories, bringing us back to how we'd been... and he'd intended to write over the memories of our time in despair with the ones of a peaceful island life. He wanted to rehabilitate us and restore our hope. But it was ruined.
