[After the (lovely) erasures, Monika might want to take a second to talk to people or do other things with her life!

No, banned. Instead she finds herself in a dark alley behind McDonald's. Was that alley always there? Don't question that. Questioning is also banned. Waiting for her there is Max, carrying a small case with eight pins in it.

Surely... this is normal.]

The VP who shot a guy in the face? Yeah, I've heard of him. He's just further proof of the sad state of affairs of American politics now and forever.

[why would you make me reference this. anyway, he takes out the pin and shows it to her]

Extremist choice is a pretty good one. One Chance, One Hope... For free next trial, you get to ask for a hint from me to help you guys find the Reaper. One hundred percent legit, no tricks or hangman puzzle. [he hands it over] It's only visible to you or anyone you choose to show it to, but I wouldn't recommend doing that. I'm gonna need it back by Sunday.

[ because i want to die. ]

I don't know why the rest of the game insists you're so bad or trying to hurt us. What a useful pin! Thanks. Expect it in your hands once more by the weekend.

I am the spawn of Satan, Monika. My soul is dead and darkened and black.

[a beat]

But yeah, fuck if it gets me anything to hurt you guys when that's the literal opposite of my job. People just love to hate on authority.

[max is he biggest anti-authoritarian person in the world but ok]
