Skill 1; Memory 2, 3, 4 (Trivial Neutral)
Skill 1 - Management/business practice - Day 291.
Form: Skills come in the form of a nasturtium flower. You have to eat it. (taken)
Togami had multiple management positions within the Togami conglomerate by the time he was in middle school... So this is basically that: the skills one would need to serve in such a position, and knowledge of how businesses generally operate. It's relatively useless in Aather, but since he has so few memories, the fact that he knows it at all tells him something about himself. He's a businessman, and someone who's had authority before ~~~surprise~~~
Memory 2 - An Announcement from Headmaster Monobear - Day 292.
Form: Memories come in the form of chocolate lips wrapped in red foil. Remove the foil to view the memory. (taken)
This is a note that was stuck in everyone's room (presumably), so this is a memory of first being in his room and noticing it on the wall.
An Announcement from Headmaster Monobear
There is an anti-picking mechanism installed in the room's locks.
Duplicating the keys is difficult, so make sure you don't lose yours.
There is a shower installed in every room. Please note that during Night Time no water comes out.
Additionally, only the shower rooms in girls' rooms can be locked.
Finally, I have prepared a small present for you.
In girls' rooms, you'll find a sewing kit,
And in the boys', a manly tool set.
You'll find a handy map of a human's vital parts attached to the sewing kit, so all you girls can use the needles for full effect.
As for the boys, you'll find a blow to the head with a hammer can be very effective.
Don't think! Feel! Let's enjoy!
Memory 3 - first breakfast meeting/Genocider Syo - Day 293.
Form: The memory form is a sparkling pumpkin handmirror. Look into it to see the memory! (3/4)
[Everyone is gathered in the cafeteria for a meeting.]
ISHIMARU: Right! Everyone is here! Let us start our first breakfast meeting! Everyone, thank you for gathering here!!
LEON: I tried to refuse, but you wouldn't leave until I said I'd come, didn't you?
ISHIMARU: I said it to each of you personally, but in order to escape this place, it is indispensable that we work together! As a first step, we will establish this daily breakfast gathering that will help us learn to know and trust each other! From this day on, I ask you to gather here in the cafeteria every day after the morning announcement!! Well then, let breakfast begin!
FUKAWA: Eating breakfast with other people...? I...it's nerve wrecking... I've never done anything like it before...
LEON: Never...? Not even "in a long time"...?
JUNKO: Hey, leaving that aside, did anyone make any new discoveries since we last talked?
Only deep silence echoed through the cafeteria.
JUNKO: Seriously? There isn't even any tiny progress!? I don't care if it's about the culprit or about a way out... No one has anything to say...!?
CELES: ...You're going to die.
JUNKO: ...Huh?
CELES: It seems you're showing weakness in front of everyone. That's why you're going to die...
JUNKO: H...hey, what are you saying!? Just stop it with the foolish talk about death!!
CELES: Didn't I tell you all? Adaptation is the same as survival... You should get used to our new life as quickly as possible.
JUNKO: You're a little... weird in the head, aren't you? What are you talking about? Getting used to this place...?
MONDO: I think that girl likes living here! Just let her do whatever she wants. But me... I won't stand for it! I'm definitely getting out...!
CELES: Hee hee hee. Well then, do as you please.
LEON: So... there really aren't any new leads?
ASAHINA: If we're talking about the culprit, isn't it obvious? He's some kind of weird dude who likes the occult and stuff like that. I mean, who else can think of locking up a bunch of kids...?
LEON: It's cool to speculate, but I meant more... concrete stuff...
CHIHIRO: H...hey...
LEON: ...Hm? What is it?
CHIHIRO: If it's some kind of occult freak, I've been thinking... Maybe our culprit... is that murderer...?
NAEGI: A murderer...? Fujisaki-san, do you have someone specific in mind?
CHIHIRO: It's not like I have proof or anything... It's just a possibility...
ISHIMARU: In our situation, every possibility is important! I will allow hearing your proposal!
CHIHIRO: Y...yeah... you see... You've all heard about... Genocider Syo, haven't you?
NAEGI: You mean...! The serial killer that's talked about all over television and the internet!?
TOGAMI: Killing his victims in occultish and cruel ways. An extremely vicious murderer... Always leaving the message "BLOODSTAIN FEVER" at the scene of the crime, painted with the victim's own blood. He seems to indiscriminately attack people with no rhyme and reason in sporadic bursts. The police are stumped. The nickname given to this serial killer on the Internet was... Genocider Syo, wasn't it?
HAGAKURE: According to rumors, his victims are in the thousands, 'right?
JUNKO: Isn't that just an urban legend? It's probably dozens at most... and even that's out of the ordinary.
FUKAWA: .........
CHIHIRO: Anyway, he sounds like someone who enjoys torturing people...
MONDO: So you're saying this situation is something only such a twisted killer can come up with...
CHIHIRO: But we don't have any proof... It's just simple deduction...
LEON: But if this dude's really our culprit... aren't we involved in deep criminal stuff?
ASAHINA: It's okay! It's definitely, surely, really going to be alright! I mean, we're going to be rescued soon!
FUKAWA: Huh? Rescued...?
ASAHINA: It's been a few days since we got locked here... Everyone is probably worried because we suddenly dropped off the face of the earth. Shouldn't the police be on the case by now?
MONOBEAR: Hahahahahahahaha!! The police...! You're going to rely on the police?
SAKURA: He showed up...!
MONOBEAR: You bastards... Do you know what role the police has? They're supporting characters. To play off the shadowy organization or the villain or the dark hero. Sure, if they're not there, the story lacks an invaluable element. But it's such a cheap role. I promise you... it's best just not to give them any thought. ...But if you want out so badly, won't killing do the job just as well?
HAGAKURE: Ahahaha!!
LEON: Are we supposed to laugh?
HAGAKURE: You give a wonderful performance.
JUNKO: You still believe it's all an act?
MONDO: Anyway, what do you want with us!? You serial killer!
MONOBEAR: ...Sillia Keller? That's a weird name! Is it Italian?
MONDO: We know who you really are...!
MONOBEAR: ......
MONDO: Don't ignore me, fucker!!
MONOBEAR: Yeah, yeah. Let's return to our discussion... It has already been several days since we started our school year, and yet there is no killing to be seen! You bastards show more character than is normal for the Relaxed Generation... But for me, it's getting a little boring...!
NAEGI: It... doesn't matter what you say... We're not going to murder someone...
MONOBEAR: Ah! I know! Eureka, I've got it! The location, people and circumstances are just right for a mystery story. So the reason why no murder has taken place yet is... We're still missing one vital element!!
NAEGI: S...still missing? What's that?
MONOBEAR: It's a "motive", of course! Upupu, in that case, it's simple! All I have to do is give everyone a good motive!
MONDO: What the fuck do you mean by "motive"?!
MONOBEAR: By the way, I have something I want to show you all.
MONDO: Don't change the subject, you bastard!!
MONOBEAR: What I want to show you is a little movie. Ah, don't get me wrong! It's not X-rated or anything! I mean it! I'm not that kind of bear!! It's a movie of the outside world! Heh heh. You also aren't very patient, are you? You can't wait to watch my movie! So let me tell you, if you go to a certain place in the school, you'll be able to watch it!
KIRIGIRI: In that case, let's hurry up and see what's that all about. But before we do that, can I ask you one question? Who are you? Why are you doing this? What are you trying to make us do?
MONOBEAR: The thing I'm... trying to make you do? Ah, that is... Despair... That's the only thing I want...... If you want to know anything else, find out by yourselves. The secrets buried in this school... if you want to find them do as you please. I will not stop you. I mean, watching your pitiful investigations is an interesting sight all by itself! I'm looking forward to it!
MAIZONO: He disappeared...! Just as usual, without answering any questions...
KIRIGIRI: Is that so? I think he said something very important. We're free to investigate everything. He's not going to intervene. I see.
SAKURA: But what about this movie of the outside world? He has my interest.
MONDO: Right! Well, in that case...
Oowada-kun slowly moved his gaze around the cafeteria... And his eyes stopped on [Naegi].
MONDO: Oh! Naegi! Go investigate for us, won't you?
NAEGI: Eh? Why am I...!?
MONDO: You're standing closest to the door, so it's just natural.
NAEGI: N... natural, you say...
MONDO: Oy oy. Oyoyoyoyoyoyoy... O-o-o-o-y!! Didn't I ask you nicely?! Isn't it a simple request, to go and investigate!!?
NAEGI: ...... I... I see... I'll go looking, then...
MONDO: Thank you! I owe you one!
MAIZONO: ...in that case, I'm also going. It may be dangerous going alone.
MONDO: Is that so? Got it. So go already, you two! If something happens just give me a shout. I'll come running!
Memory 4 - yet another cafeteria regrouping - Day 294.
Form: Memories come in the form of tiny edible ginger gears in a packet tied with string. (3/4)
[Everyone is gathered in the cafeteria for a meeting... again. Except, there are a few people missing compared to the last meeting?]
ISHIMARU: Everyone! Thank you for your cooperation! How was it? Did anyone find something new!?
YAMADA: There is a library here!
ASAHINA: There's a pool here! A pool! And changing rooms complete with training equipment too!!
SAKURA: On the other hand, there is no way out...
NAEGI: Yeah... so it seems...
ISHIMARU: There is no need to be dejected. I have also made an important discovery... We can now enter the storage room and the public bath here in the dormitory area!! That storage room has a huge amount of food and living supplies in it! That means we can fill our stomachs whenever we feel like it! Ha ha ha ha...!
CELES: We shouldn't walk around during Night Time, though. Don't forget that...
MONDO: But... did you find anything concerning an exit?
ISHIMARU: Um, I...
MONDO: Are there any tools in that storage room that can help us break out?
ISHIMARU: U...unfortunately... no...
MONDO: So you were really getting excited over nothing... We can't get excited just because we have some new place we can go to... We've been fucking locked up in here!! The only thing important is finding an exit!!
CELES: Well, we can't help making a fuss over little things. It's all part of adaptation. Let's learn to make the best out of our new conditions.
MONDO: Stop staying retarded things...
ISHIMARU: Anyway, let's continue investigating. If anyone finds something new, report to the rest of us as required...
KIRIGIRI: So, are we done for today?
ISHIMARU: Ah... I guess we are...
It seems like the atmosphere turned heavy all of a sudden...
TOGAMI: ...............
OVERALL NOTES!!
These memories give him a much better picture of the situation at Hope's Peak Academy. Rather than it being a live-in school where a murder happened to take place, it's a school in which they are trapped, and the murder was coerced. Monobear seems to be the "Headmaster" and the one in charge, but he is also... a bear. It doesn't seem like there are any other adults or authority figures since they are left to take on organization themselves. Also, now he recognizes a lot more people than he did before! And he's heard of Genocider Syo. AND SO ON.
Form: Skills come in the form of a nasturtium flower. You have to eat it. (taken)
Togami had multiple management positions within the Togami conglomerate by the time he was in middle school... So this is basically that: the skills one would need to serve in such a position, and knowledge of how businesses generally operate.
