"So everyone finally found their motive?" Shuichi asked.

Everyone nodded in affirmation as they all held out their Flashback Lights, some eager than most.

But Miu just wanted this to be over with.

After the mutual agreement of the three to never trust Flashback Lights after the VR world, this was nothing more than a waste of time to Miu.

"What are we waiting for? Let's turn these babies on, unless you guys want to go boom boom," Kokichi said.

But the Academy would explode if they don't turn it on.

"Nyeh, let's just get this over with," Himiko said, "Why are we doing this together and not when we first found the Flashback Lights...?"

"We already discussed this, Yumeno! So, that we will be there for each other when the motive is done and over with. We need to be together so no one would be alone doing any stupid decisions over this!" Kaito declared.

Miu wanted to roll her eyes at that. Will that even help? Now that Miu realized it, they have so far just ignored motive after motive and this time 'round, they were facing it head on.

How do you deal with that? She scanned nervously at the people. After all... but she was met with a smirk of Kokichi's and a reassuring smile of Gonta's.

Miu then looked at the Flashback Light, and after a little hesitation, she turned it on.

Just don't believe it...

Miu Iruma was in a school uniform unfamiliar, a white shirt with an orange bow and a brown skirt. She was cowering against a rabid mob.

"But... but you got the wrong person..." Miu whimpered.

They ignored her. She backed away, but she was surrounded.

"Don't make this any harder than it has to be."

"You can't defy us. After all, we know..."

"I have nothing to do with your damn cult!" Miu screamed.

The cult where mankind deserves damnation, the cult where they tried to fail the project created by countries, the Gofer Project. The cult that initiated the... Ultimate Hunt.

But she had absolutely nothing to do with it...

"That's because you don't know."

"But it's not fooling us."

"The Gofer Project must fail."

"But I don't have anything to do with it!" Miu exclaimed.

"Yes, you do, and it would be soon that you will know your heinous purpose and be brought to the light that it shall not be fulfilled."

And after those words, she was trussed up and blindfolded. In blackness, she could hear the screeching of tires, felt herself thrown into cold steel and felt the rumble of movements.

Miu was only trying to get groceries, for God's sake. How did it turn to shit like this?

'Fucking cult...' Miu thought, very pissed off with her situation.

That was just the life they were living now... watching behind their backs, until someone fixes this upside down world.

'Ha, as if!' Miu thought.

After all, even if she hated the cult, they were damn right about one thing: The Gofer Project was going to fail.

Because of course she was the right person they were looking for. Of course, she knew why she was hunted down. It was Hope's Peak's fault for this. It was the stupid meteorites. It was politics. And the Gofer Project...
