I figured you'd be proud! I fucking worked my ass off to make up for slacking off early on in school, but I never thought I'd get accepted to Hope's Peak!

[His grin fades though and he glances away, not trying to struggle out of Daiya's grip any.]

But... some shit happened on the first day of school. See, I entered the school and all, but I guess I passed out or something...? Anyway, I woke up and ran into my classmates, but it turns out we were locked inside the school somehow.

[He pauses, trying to figure out how to word it. He knows this is going to hurt, but he needs to tell Daiya what happened.]

One of the other students locked us in and... she did something to our memories. We were in that school for awhile before, but she took our memories away. So I'm... actually twenty now, not eighteen. Ah, but I would've turned eighteen here so...

[He frowns. Hang on, he's confused himself.]

A-Anyway, we were locked in the school with no escape. The girl in charge was using a stuffed bear to communicate with us so we wouldn't know who she was. She told us that the only way to get out... was to kill someone and get away with it.

[He glances up at Daiya to judge his brother's reaction to the first piece of bad news.]
