[Nill wheezes, digging her nails into her scalp. No. No. Stop it, right now, she can't show Yosuke any of this--
But she can't get herself to calm down and she can't control what she can do, and the memories are just flooding out. She tries, desperately, to keep them from getting out, but she can't stop it.
The first thing that comes into view is the view outside of a window; a toxic, polluted city, that looks much more familiar to whoever's seeing it than any place like that should. The person lifts their head, and sees a classroom full of other people - most of the faces are blurry, unrecognizable, but two of the ones she finds immediately are Yosuke and Shikamaru (Shika a few years younger, Yosuke maybe about the age he is now). Seras is there, too.
Everyone in the classroom has collars on, and up on the blackboard is scrawled in huge, elegant writing; Battle Royale: act 2.
The scene fades, and picks up again with someone saying "#8 - Nill". The person who the memories belong to stands up, heart thudding in their chest. Kill her friends? Make her friends kill her? That was unthinkable.
She watches Yosuke walk out of the room ahead of her, and then looks at Shika, who is #9...
"I love you."
And Nill bolts for the door, with the absolute knowledge that she won't last the day.
The scene changes again, and this time Nill is in the woods, tying a knife to her thigh with a hair ribbon. And then Shika's there, another (different) collar on his neck, his own proper age, and for a moment when she sees him Nill wants to die.
Nill manages not to let anything else through though, and lets out another choked sob, burying her face more against her knees.]
