Sora hasn’t trusted anyone except for Kiro for years now. But he decided it would be better for himself to try and trust a few others, Those being Kai and Reito. Which is why he asked both of them to help him fix the stage lights, Yet unfortunately. Reito used that opportunity to his advantage in his plan to kill Kai.

“Being the loser everyone knew means I have my own expectations To live up to. Said expectations means to offer pain for others pleasure.. That’s what it means to me, at least.”
- (Despair Partners) Makoto Naegi
For those who are wondering what Each punishment stands for, Here you go:
- He locks himself in a locker or closeted space for a day or two. Basically forcing himself to stay awake and not eat.
- To keep himself from talking, He would tie wire around his mouth to prevent him from talking. Could count as slight suffocation, too.
- The third one, Is pretty easy to understand. To put it simply, Self harm.
