Part 226: Addendum XV: False Closure, Part 1
Addendum XV: False Closure, Part 1A long, long time ago, one of you asked me to show what happens when we dont change a heart by the deadline. Specifically, Kaneshiros. I actually went ahead and recorded it back then, but ended up vetoing that idea at the time for fear of spoilers. Might as well now though, right?
Weve got three days left to change Kaneshiros heart. Plenty of time.
Oddly ominous, considering who were dealing with.
Kaneshiros deadline is almost here. Were in big trouble if things continue as they are. We know where the Treasure is. All we have to do now is send the calling card. I think we should send it today even. Well?
What are you saying!? Kaneshiros deadline is the 9th! Well still make it in time if we send the calling card today. Got it? Ill be waiting after school.
Hey idiot, send the calling card today, you moron.
Cant think of anything else we need to do.
Psh, youre imagining things.
The game automatically fast-forwards to the next day.
What is your plan? We dont have that much time left
The screen pulses white with each cut.
Even through her drug-induced stupor, she managed to identify one name clearlyyours.
Wed like to speak in more detail about the ramifications of this.
So thats dark.
Music: Interrogation Room
*sigh*
In any case, it seems itd be a waste of time to speak to you any longer. ...Its unfortunate.
I would like to stress that the preceding scene was double non-canon by being an alternate, false recollection of the games events induced by druuuuugs. It did not actually happen in any version of this games reality.
That trivial righteousness that youve paraded around ? This is how such idiocy ends.
They hide the voice behind a filter but its so fucking obviously Robbie Daymond its funny they even bothered.
Huh? Hey! Someone! Hes dead! Hes killed himself! Dammit! Where did he hide a gun!?
What a truly foolish end
And we get the choice to warp back a week to fix our idiotic mistakes. Smart design. However, were not done yet. Next, were going to see one of the real alternate endings, one thats slightly more involved than a glorified game over screen.
Music: Interrogation Room
Your operation was leaked, and you failed to change my heart. Theres no point in being obstinate now. Youve corrupted the order of this country and caused an uprising against its very existence. Youll most likely be given life imprisonment or the death penalty. ...Unless you accept my proposal.
Tell me honestly whether or not the following are involved with the Phantom Thieves.
Yep!
Youve made a wise choice. Thank you. Ill do my best with what youve told me.
What the fuck, Sae? I did what you wanted, and you just praised me, and then you turn around and twist the knife?
Maaku sits and stews with his awesome decision.
Music: Desire
Why do you seem so surprised?
I needed my director to step in to get access and I was directly responsible for this case. How did you get approval?
For the same reason you did. I am heading up the investigation team, after all. Its only natural Id have the right to interrogate our culprit as well, dont you think?
...That was a joke, of course. Im merely here to assist with the public security interrogation. I am surprised its this far underground though There arent any others incarcerated here, yes? Nobody would ever know if things got a little violent
If I remember correctly didnt you say there was another culprit besides the Phantom Thieves?
That was but a lie I spread to set them up. Oh, Im sorry! I forgot that I had deceived you too, Sae-san. After all, if you wish to trick your enemies, you must first trick your allies.
Is that so? Id better perform well myself. I cant leave here without some kind of evidence now.
Good luck in there.
Going in unarmed to interrogate a murderer makes me uncomfortable
Thats right. You and your little friends were vital to our plan. And now, it will be completed.
Music: Betrayer
Huh? Hey! Someone! Hes dead! Hes killed himself! Dammit! Where did he hide a gun!?
And it ends the same way as before.
Music: Aria of the Soul
It appears I have underestimated you.
This line still makes no sense. But its Yaldy speaking, so maybe he underestimated how much we suck?
The assistance that we provided was all for naught.
I already died, though.
Music: Freedom and Security
And now the credits roll with the Mementos Depths theme playing instead of the normal credits theme.
So, lesson learned: dont betray your friends or youll get shot in the face.
This is technically a real ending, so instead of a rewind they let you save clear data and start the game over.
