Kyoko Kirigiri - Epilogue Part 2/2: Absolution
Majority ruled that Kyoko Kirigiri be re-instated as a leader of the Coalition.
Even if she had been gone for quite a long time, the general consensus was that she was still fit for duty, given her performance in the recent Murder Game, dubbed the "Daughter Incident." Even after a year of being missing, she still had it. It had been explained that for the majority of the year she had been missing, Kirigiri had been stuck in a coma, floating through the void of the multiverse, due to the power of the Arch Demon. Shortly after he had fallen, according to her testimony, she awakened in a world called Columbia, where she had taken some time to recover, before leaving, setting off to return home, going through a interdimensional portal that happened to be in the world, and ending up in the event before she knew it. Having ended up in an event alongside people who were familiar with the Coalition, such as one Wanda Maximoff, also known as "Scarlet Witch," and a mercenary known as Felix who had partaken in the Arch Demon's Downfall, Kyoko had gotten on the update on a few details, such as the demon's death and the continued existence of the Murder Games, among a few more discoveries when she'd return, such as the betrayal of G.O.R.E. and the alliance with the United Universes.
While she was given a number of reports to look at that had been written over the year she had been gone, even someone like the Ultimate Detective could sometimes decide that too much was just too much to read, so she ended up skimming most of the finer details and got a very basic gist of the situation. She could certainly read and process fast, but at the expense of her mental energy, like a professional runner.
It was no matter though. Kyoko could save all that for later downtime. After all, she had people to reunite with. On top of Makoto, Ms. Frizzle, and Byakuya (as much as Byakuya could even be happy over something anyway), she had to at least drop by and say hi to the older members that had known her before she disappeared, including Fukawa and Yukizome, as well as Kieran, Leia, and a number of others.
Naturally, even Alter Ego was quite pleased as well.
Still, even Kyoko could sense that something was wrong. Of course, there was hardly a point in time where things were mostly "right" when you had a whole multiverse to look after, but that was beside the point. The point being that something was off within the Coalition itself. Being a detective, Kyoko was naturally an intelligent person who was able to read things such as moods and the air quickly. Just because she didn't often show emotion didn't mean she didn't at least understand how they worked, and she definitely understood that there was some odd tension between Kieran and Makoto. Of course, the first move she made was to question some of the other members to hear their opinion, but no one really had anything useful to contribute to her investigation, most either not even noticing any tension or simply stating that Kieran lately seemed avoidant of Makoto.
Suspicious indeed.
Kyoko didn't dare directly question either of them about it. Even if she had a 50/50 chance of them either giving her a badly covered up run-around or ending up ranting too much about it, the young detective decided that she'd rather not get herself openly embroiled into whatever possible mess she was looking at. However, she knew that if there was some feud between the two young men that had been going on for as long as it was without being resolved, then it was never going to be resolved without outside interference. So Kyoko decided to use her detective skills to good use.
By getting onto Makoto's command computer while he wasn't looking.
While she certainly felt a little guilty that she had to resort to infringing upon Makoto's privacy in order to get answers, she knew in her heart that this was the most effective way to get answers. If the mysterious matter between him and Kieran were hush-hush enough that most members didn't seem to exactly have anything to say about it, as well as Ms. Frizzle and other "Administration" members, then surely, she could find some answers on his computer.
"..."
Having waited for him to leave to attend to some matters, Kyoko would sneak into his office after hours and boot up the computer, the machine making a small whirring sound as it came to life. After a few seconds, prompts for the username and password came up, and Kyoko would type in the intended user, but stopped for a moment whens she'd reach the password.
User: Makoto Naegi
Password: _
The lavender maiden furrowed her brow lightly, racking her brain for what the password was. She had been thinking to herself what his password might have been while she was on her way to the command office, but she hadn't even realized she never settled on very many guesses before she'd gotten there. Not to mention like most highly secure data banks, the password changed every other day, if not every day. Still, if Makoto was the one who went through the trouble of changing the password himself every time, then perhaps she could use her deductive reasoning skills and make an educated guess.

Hmph.
For all that was good about Makoto, perhaps one negative was that he was too predictable. As Junko Enoshima said, hope was predictable, and Makoto was practically the living embodiment of hope.
At least, he was supposed to be.
After all the things that had happened, she wasn't so sure these days.
But once she'd look into these files, Kyoko would learn the truth.
Though it was initially unclear as to where she was supposed to start looking, Kyoko wasn't an expert sleuth because of her inability to explore, so she went through the painstaking effort of looking through any files she believed to be of interest, practically warming herself up for the reading with some smaller files. Some were simple incident reports, such as the Daughter Incident being possibly connected to previous Murder Games, notably one "Carnival Incident" and one "Gravity Falls Incident," which Byakuya had mentioned earlier, Kyoko would recall. Other files included collaborations with the United Universes, official statements of declaring a Multiverse Directive with the United Universes and the United Federation of Planets, becoming branched with a magic-centered organization known as the Multiverse Emergency Unit, etc.
Kyoko wasn't too worried that she'd get caught if she'd waste enough time with these things. Still, once she figured that she was getting nowhere with these, it was time to move on. Moving away from the general folder, she went to a folder that caught her eye, hidden beneath layers of folders with computer talk names like "M&76" and "12654;" and so on.
Classified Information - Clearance Level 10
Accessing the folder with administration power, Kyoko would see quite a number of strangely named folders that would catch her attention, like a reporter who had discovered the next big scoop, some of the names including the following:
Despair Energy Findings
Ilona Threat Level Assessment - Recommended Courses of Action
Multiverse Hotel Incident
... Among other folders.
Clicking open the folder concerning this "Ilona" individual, Kyoko silently read through the file, her purple eyes never blinking as they scanned the words, and before she knew it, she would involuntarily let out a soft sigh as she couldn't believe the things Makoto had said.
"Makoto... What happened?"
For all that Kyoko had been shocked by the things she had read in the file, this revelation made known to her, there was one detail that the Ultimate Detective had missed.
Makoto had left his office to deal with Coalition matters at 2000 hours. Now, it was 0100 hours. What Kyoko never realized was that someone else had accessed and looked into this info at 2200 hours. Someone unknown to both Kyoko and Makoto.
Someone who was about to cause the multiverse to shake in its very boots.
Nothing would ever be the same again.
To be continued in...
