[The tension inside him turns painfully cold when he experiences Juzo flat on his back with Junko staring down at him. Even knowing that Juzo is alive and inches away, there is still that lance of dread in knowing how close Junko was to his friend.
Then there is the singsong accusation. A phone shoved in front of him, showing-- first a picture of himself, and then one of Juzo with said picture in a frame. Taunting scribbles on the glass, mocking laughter from a crowd of faces.
Juzo. Begging for it all to stop.
Kyosuke doesn't realize he's trembling until he tries to let go of the petal. He thrashes his arm violently to one side as he drops the petal, the action punctuated by lightning above them.
But his anger and upset are not aimed at Juzo. No, Junko and the laughing crowd earn his ire, for--
For using Juzo's feelings against him.
Distantly, he knows he's shocked by the revelation. (There were no signs, were there? Or was he blind to that as well?) But presently, the rage is boiling over. This isn't how he would have wanted to learn something so important. It should have been a happy moment, celebrated despite any awkwardness on both sides. They were friends, weren't they? He should have found out--
Exactly like he did with Chisa.
A retching gasp escapes him as he makes the comparison. The chaos and misery all come full circle, with what should have been two of his happiest moments with his best friends ruined by Despair.
Ruined by her.]
Sa--
[His shoulders shake, and he has to cut himself off.]

Juzo.
[It's a whisper. A plea.
Don't let her take anything else from us.]
