Chucky: I don't think I've ever really asked this before, but I'd like to know something.

Chucky: Fujisaki-senpai is the one who made our website, right? The PhanSite?

OneTrueEgg: Yeah, that's right.

OneTrueEgg: Chihiro was one of our first ever fans. Shortly after the rumors about us started circulating, he leaked our first calling card online, and then built a website that tracked our movements, so that the word got spread out there.

Hajimeme: Sounds like he really did the team a favor and got things off the ground then, huh?

OneTrueEgg: Pretty much.

Sweetchi: Why do you ask, Chiaki-senpai?

Chucky: Sometimes I just wonder if it's difficult being what is basically the spokesperson for such a controversial group of people.

Chucky: I can tell his admiration for us is genuine, but...

Chucky: It can't be easy being online that chronically, having to manage so much of this content.

Shoot2Thrill: Let me guess.

Shoot2Thrill: You also went online and saw all those comments, didn't you?

Bookworm: What comments?

Shoot2Thrill: For the last couple days, the PhanSite's been more active than ever before.

Shoot2Thrill: It's not hard to see how or why. The rise started shortly after you guys told us that Ashikawa showed everyone that calling card. 

Shoot2Thrill: No one's saying anything specific, but it's easy to tell that a lot of these comments are from students of Hope's Peak reacting to his lockdown. 

Pian0Fr3ak: By any chance...do they blame us?

Chucky: Some do, but its a vocal minority.

Chucky: Most of them are just frustrated that the school thinks its okay to just breach our privacy like that. Something that I fully agree with.

Hajimeme: What you've got to understand is that those kinds of things don't matter to Hope's Peak Academy.

Hajimeme: Privacy is a basic human right, and in the eyes of the Steering Committee, none of you are humans. 

Hajimeme: You're just talents given price tags to make the school more marketable and influential, so they can spread their agenda, and treat everyone else in the world the same way.

Bookworm: You ever just...hate hearing the truth spoken so plainly?

Chucky: That's not the disturbing part though.

Chucky: I know this is weird to say, but the people who are hating on us are actually preferable to the people who are supporting us.

Pian0Fr3ak: Wait, what? Why?

Chucky: A lot of them are calling for Ashikawa's blood.

Chucky: They don't care how we take Ashikawa down, so long as we do it soon.
