I spoke to him earlier. Why?
no subject
...That is, concerned about him for everyone else's sake, not his own.
[...She is learning the magic of explicit clarification, holy shit.]
no subject
Saionji-kun told me a few things about him while she was here, but I don't know how reliable she is.
SDR2 SPOILERS DO I NEED TO WARN FOR THOSE MAYBE?
It's complicated, and I'm intentionally being vague in the interest of not breaking her confidence as to those personal matters. However, she gave me the indication that he's...difficult, and that her class almost universally disliked him for his behaviors.
From the way it sounded, he may have been unusually enthusiastic about the prospect of playing a killing game pitting 'hope' against 'despair'.
no subject
Are we keeping him away from Nanami-kun?
no subject
...I'll elaborate further on why I said he'd "ensured her death" as opposed to a different phrasing, but first I need to ask something about your discussion with him. Did he mention anything to do with 'luck'?
no subject
He told me his title, and he made a really backhanded comment toward Naegi-kun when he did it, but I think that last part was accidental.
no subject
[the fuck did he say about Naegi-kun]
no subject
no subject
...Then he's not like Naegi-kun at all. Unless he...
[Kirigiri, you were going to try really hard not to be needlessly cryptic here, remember, don't lose your stride now.]
Ignore that. What I should say is: that would confirm how the circumstances appear to have played out. If it's true that Komaeda-kun's talent is good luck, then he's also someone willing to use that good luck to achieve an end he desires. In a sense, it could be said that he weaponized his luck.
...I'm still not sure what the overall point was, but it seems that there was someone that Komaeda-kun wanted to die, so he arranged a set of circumstances that, if he was lucky, would cause that person to be the one to kill him. Because Nanami-san was that person, his luck prevailed, and he ensured that she would have to be executed for what she'd done, even if it was performed inadvertently.
If that's the sort of person he is, I can see why he might be considered dangerous.
no subject
I don't understand why he would target Nanami-kun, but I see your point.
Is there anything we should avoid discussing with him that you know of? Something that might set him off, or cause something we don't want to happen?
no subject
As for the topics of discussion, I asked Nanami-san about that as well. She's unsure of any specific topic, but discussions of the killing game, and of the topics of 'hope' and 'despair', are probably more likely than others to provoke a reaction.
...Also, it sounds as though he's the sort of person who will needle at people for the sake of seeing how they'll react.
no subject
He already knows about our class; I don't know who told him about it, but someone seems to have. I asked him if he knew and he told me that he did.
We also discussed a few things that were more personal in nature, with regards to that. He didn't seem to have too adverse a reaction, though.
no subject
[...Kirigiri, that's mercenary as shit.]
If he didn't react to those topics, though, that may be reason for optimism. It could be that whatever provokes him is something inherent to his class's killing game. If that's so, then it's unlikely any of us will set him off.
no subject
He's...strange, definitely, but he didn't seem to be on the verge of having some sort of episode. I have reason to think that he may be less reckless with himself here, too, but that isn't something I can elaborate on right now.

...In your opinion, would it be for the best if we attempted to keep Fujisaki-kun away from him?
I'm asking because I want to see if your independent opinion concurs with my own.
no subject
LOOK HE'S NOT TRYING TO BE AN ASSHOLE, THAT WAS PURE SOCIAL INCOMPETENCE ON HIS PART]
...Yes, because I don't think Fujisaki-kun would handle the way he tends to talk very well. And after what you said with regards to the AI...
no subject
MUCH RESTRAINT SO NUNCHI WOW]
Bear in mind that that's only a guess. I'm also not sure whether or not her classmates are aware of that nature of hers; I would suspect it's not something she's told them. I'm sure it's understandable that she has very good reasons for not telling them.
Suffice to say, I'm concerned for Fujisaki-kun, Naegi-kun, and Nanami-san. I would imagine the others are reasonably likely to be able to handle themselves.

no subject
Either way, we'll keep an eye on it, certainly - I assume you're concerned about Naegi-kun because of the nature of the...'hope' versus 'despair' game, was it?
no subject
Simply put, I think he'll make Fujisaki-kun cry, he'll take advantage of Naegi-kun, and the concern for Nanami-san should go without saying.
no subject
Naegi-kun is going to want to befriend him, if he hasn't tried already. You know how he is.
no subject
But it's worth keeping an eye on.
no subject
Have you discussed Maizono-kun with him, incidentally?
