Dork Diaries: DORKANRONPA - Part 2

FINAL CLASS TRIAL - PART 19:

BRANDON: "The salvation is... FROM THE APOCALYPSE?!"

ELIAS: "Exactly, the moment you press salvation... You instantly forfeit any opportunity of saving your children and the world."

MAXWELL: "..."

CHASE: "Listen up, you have a very small chance of stopping me. I am offering you shelter and the opportunity to save the lives of your friends!"

BRANDON: "No you're not! YOU JUST WANT TO STOP US FROM STOPPING YOU!"

CHASE: "Oh fine. The moment you awaken from those pods I will quite possibly be at the Freedom dome. And then my plan will be complete, but since you would no longer be in the simulation you will have no chance of salvation from the despair that will conquer the world. The thing is, it doesn't matter if the world's happy if you aren't happy. What is truly important is your happiness, and even if you did save the world... Remember your friends. they will just be brain dead and empty husks that will still be alive but will never feel anything or awaken again. The people you love and the people you hate will stay in those pods everyday growing ever weaker and rotting away as an empty shell. Even if you did save the world you will still feel guilty about what happened to your friends, how you hopelessly sacrificed them for the sake of who? People you don't even know you exist? People who you have never even met?! People who wouldn't even appreciate your sacrifice of people who actually cared about you? Can you really endure such despair and guilt for such people? DOES THAT SOUND LIKE 'HOPE'TO YOU?!"

ELIAS: "STOP! You can't fall victim to him, he's trying to manipulate you!"

CHASE: "Really? You're telling them to sacrifice their friends for a small fraction of a chance of saving the world? Don't make me laugh you imbecile! Listen up, if you select salvation thn your friends will return back to life. I mean sure all of you will just stay in the simulation for the rest of your lives, but I guess that it's a much better fate than being empty shells, riiiiiiiight?"

ELIAS: "..."

MAXWELL: "I see... Then all we have to press is Salvation."

ELIAS: "WHAT?!"

MAXWELL: "Don't you realize what you're saying?! The world will possibly end unless we sacrifice those who are nearest and dearest to us!"

PATRICK: "This burden... Don't you DARE make us carry such a heavy burden!"

ERIN: "We can't make this choice..."

MACKENZIE: "Everyone will die... Even if we sacrificed them and tried and failed to stop Chase."

THEO: "Zoey... I can't sacrifice you."

BRANDON: "...Explain Chase, what do you intend to do?"
