Here's some cut and/or altered content from Act 2.

Lost Dialogue 1: Originally after the end of Order's Appeal, Shujinkou would have spent the day with Monika. What's most interesting about this piece of unused dialogue was a certain parody that lies within.

Later that night...

Shujinkou laid spread across his bed. All that was on his mind was his last conversation with Mali and her interest in him.

Suddenly, he heard his phone ring. Without even confirming the number, Shujinkou brought it to his ear and answred. "Hello?"

"Hi, Shujinkou's ear," he heard a bright voice respond.

Surprised, Shujinkou brought to phone to his face and watched Monika giggle at him.

"Guess, you weren't paying attention to what call this was, huh?" she said.

"Sorry. I was kinda lost in thought," Shujinkou apologized.

"I know. You were like that since Kiyoko's. I was wondering what was on your mind."

"Oh. It's nothing much, I was just thinking about what Mali is going to do from now on."

"I can understand why you seem anxious after all is said and done. In fact, now that I think about it, you've really had it tough the last few days."

"I guess..."

"Hmm... You know what you need."

"The power of teleportation?"

"No... You need to do something that simple to get your mind off all the stress."

"The power of teleportation would immediately take away all my stress."

"Maybe something that can be achieved in reality. Um... I got it. Why don't we watch some movies at my place?"

Shujinkou wordlessly stared at his phone screen. Though he appeared to be calm on the outside, the inside of his mind was in disarray.

"Simple and stress-free," he wondered as he paced back in forth in an office filled with doppelgangers.

"Is what Monika suggested really stress-freeish?" one of the doppelgangers asked.

"Well, it's not the first time I went to Monika's... Why would it shock me into this scenario?" Shujinkou wondered aloud.

"It is simple, main me," one of the doppelgangers approached him. He was wearing a distinctive green jacket and sported a unibrow. "Monika's trying to lure you into a wormhole and spew you into an alternate universe!"

Shujinkou blankly stared at his counterpart before turning towards the other doppelgangers. "Any other hypothesizes?"

"I have one," another doppelganger approached Shujinkou, this one wearing glasses and a long blackcoat. "You have been shocked into this scenario because of three separate factors: girl, movie and her house. Put that all together and that equates to a date."

"Are you saying Monika's asking me on a date?" Shujinkou questioned.

"A date? With you?!" suddenly a cloud of ash appeared in front of him. From it appeared a red horned version of himself. "Like anyone would ask you out on a date."

"...You must be the aspect of my personality I have a bad habit of indulging," Shujinkou said.

"Looking down on yourself?" Science Shujinkou asked.

"Yeah."

"And that's what I'm usually here for?"

"Huh?" Shujinkou turned around, his eyes widening with shock the moment they landed on Sayori. "Sayori!?"
