I didn't even know we had memories of each other 'til I came here and Naegi and Kirigiri told me about it. You gotta understand . . . all of us thought that was our first day of our third year and that we'd never met each other in our lives. I died thinkin' I was still 17.

He hasn't actually turned it on since the day he found it here in his apartment waiting for him. There's something eerie about seeing their faces again on that screen, staring out with all the bland neutrality of a student ID photo.]
The ones who survived got 'em back eventually, but I think it took a few months. Togami remembers everything, but Kirigiri still doesn't remember anything. 'Cuz he's from more in the future than she is.
[He spends another tense moment staring down at the screen, then tips back against the couch again, closing his eyes.]
Obviously . . . if six people lived, they figured it out eventually and escaped. So of course there was some other way. —I always believed that. Up until that second! I always thought it'd work out somehow. I never really thought we were all gonna start killing each other. That's—think about it, that'd be crazy, right . . . I never thought somethin' that crazy could really be happening to us!
