... Ahh, I'm so jealous!

[ Junko's voice immediately turns girlish and enthralled, and the camera moves as if she's clasped her hands together. What he's describing is a dream Junko only got toe to toe with in terms of crossing paths with Makoto Naegi-- their single bout was not a long-lived battle, spanning childhood and beyond. Junko killed all of the toys that managed to last so long-- her childhood love, her own sister. And the despair of being the knife in their back had sustained her so wonderfully...

... but it would be nothing compared to killing your equal, your rival, the person destined to undo you as they wither peacefully accepting defeat. Knowing no one would be able to surpass them, that there would never be a challenge so great again--

-- that sounded like a greater despair of death than death itself! ]


I've always dreamed of meeting someone like that! It's more intimate than meeting a lover! It's more intimate than your own family bonds! A person in lock-step with your own power... with the means and motivation to destroy you...!

There was no one on Earth like that!

[ Naegi had triumphed over her in spirit, but he had neither the means (the strength) or the motivation (the bitterness) to kill her. Junko had lost, but she had to strike herself down in her own fiery blaze in order for the victory to feel complete. ]
