Free Time Event Dialogue and Option Guide

Full dialogue from Kiyotaka's Free Time Events:

Free Time Event 1 (Page 2)

Spend some time with Taka Hey, Makoto! As long as we're talking, let's REALLY talk, whaddya say!? File:Guide Project Makoto Neutral.png Huh? Oh, sure, that's fine.... Excellent! Then let's get down to brass tacks and find out where we stand on all the big issues! So, what should we discuss? Politics? The economy? International affairs!? File:Guide Project Makoto Huh.png Wait, hold on. Instead of a big, serious discussion... File:Guide Project Makoto Heh.png ...can't we just have a normal conversation? That’s the best way to learn about people, I think. What do you mean by a “normal conversation”? File:Guide Project Makoto Thinking.png Umm... Well, for example... What do you like to do in your spare time? Study, of course! I'm a student, aren't I? A student must be studying professional! And of course my duties as the chairperson of the morals committee keep me quite busy, as well! It's my duty to foster an environment in which we can all focus our studies! File:Guide Project Makoto Thinking.png Okay, but...what else? Like when you're at home, or you just have some time to kill? If I have time to kill, I study! File:Guide Project Makoto Heh.png I...see... Hahaha! This is fun! Okay, my turn. Makoto! What do you like to do in your spare time? File:Guide Project Makoto Neutral.png Um, you know, just normal stuff. Watch TV, play video games... Huh? And this helps you study...how? File:Guide Project Makoto Heh.png N-No, it's not about studying. It's just for fun, ya know? But doing things “just for fun” serves no purpose! There must be more to it... You wouldn't spend your valuable time doing something useless, would you!? File:Guide Project Makoto Heh.png He can insist all he wants, but in the end...
File:Guide Project Makoto Thinking.png	But...maybe there *is* a good reason. Like getting into something, and talking to people about it... So maybe...
Seriously, just for fun File:Guide Project Makoto Heh.png Sorry, that's all there is to it. It's just something fun to do. Impossible! There must be a reason, you just haven't realized it! Which means this is a perfect opportunity for you to reflect and learn something about yourself! File:Guide Project Makoto Hmm.png Crap...if I don’t come up with an answer that makes him happy, we'll never get anywhere... Actually, it IS studying File:Guide Project Makoto Neutral.png Sometimes, it pretty much IS studying. Like some games have to do with history and stuff... Unacceptable! Things like that are more likely to twist the truth than teach you anything useful! If you want to learn about the past, crack open a history book! File:Guide Project Makoto Heh.png O-Okay... I could keep arguing about this, but...it's probably better if I don't. So? Can you think of any other reasons? Relating to your friends File:Guide Project Makoto Neutral.png You know how it's useful? It helps give you something to talk about with other people! Something to talk about...? File:Guide Project Makoto Neutral.png Like when you see something awesome on TV, or some awesome game, and you want to share it with someone. Wh...? Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh—!? I once was blind, but now I see! File:Guide Project Makoto Heh.png Wh-What the heck!? That kind of thing has plagued me for years... I've tried making friends, but whenever I would make conversation, it would die after a few minutes... And now...I've finally found the answer... I need to study more games! More TV shows! File:Guide Project Makoto Huh.png N-no, you don't need to “study” them... Ahh, I'm so ashamed of myself! If there was a hole somewhere around here, I'd totally go hide in it! I let it get to me, I wasted all that time... I never saw the blind spot in my studies! I'm a complete embarrassment! I'm not qualified to even be on the morals committee, let alone lead it! File:Guide Project Makoto Huh.png I-I don't think it's really that big of a deal... Thank you, Professor Makoto! File:Guide Project Makoto Huh.png Professor!? You've taught me a most valuable lesson! You've earned my respect, and the title of professor! File:Guide Project Makoto Huh.png Th-That's gonna make things super awkward...! Hahaha! There's no need to be modest, Professor! I can't wait for your next lesson! And until then, I will strive to learn as much as I can on my own! Well then, Professor—by your leave! File:Guide Project Makoto Heh.png Without waiting for a reply, Taka ran off. Professor... File:Guide Project Makoto Thinking.png Although, thinking about it...I didn't totally hate it. Professor Makoto...

Free Time Event 2 (Page 3)

Spend some time with Taka I've been wanting to tell you something for a while now, Makoto... And now that it's just the two of us, this is the perfect time to confess..! File:Guide Project Makoto Huh.png H-huh...? Listen, Makoto... Your hoodie is awesome! File:Guide Project Makoto Heh.png Th-Thanks...? You have really amazing fashion sense. Now, wearing a hoodie under your school uniform... Your public morals are ruined! Just absolutely ruined! File:Guide Project Makoto Huh.png S-Sorry! Did I do something wrong...? File:Guide Project Makoto Hmm.png The dress code was pretty flexible at my old school... Well that's not the case here at Hope's Peak Academy! As long as I live, I will protect our morals! Take off that incredibly stylish hoodie this instant! File:Guide Project Makoto Huh.png R-Right now!? Of course! File:Guide Project Makoto Heh.png Crap, Taka seems to be taking this really seriously...
File:Guide Project Makoto Thinking.png	Well, I'd be better come up with a good excuse or I might actually have to give him my hoodie...
But it's a raincoat File:Guide Project Makoto Determination.png But this hoodie doubles as a raincoat! I don't wanna get caught by surprise in a thunderstorm! You can't fool me! File:Guide Project Makoto Huh.png Huh...? That hoodie would only protect your head! It's hardly a raincoat if it doesn't cover the rest of your body! My suggestion is to get an umbrella! File:Guide Project Makoto Heh.png G-Good advice... Now, take off that incredibly stylish hoodie this instant! But it's a flashlight File:Guide Project Makoto Heh.png Umm...actually, there's a light built into the hood. Kinda like a miner's hat, ya know? What!? File:Guide Project Makoto Huh.png I need it to keep me safe when it gets dark! That by itself is enough to ruin your morals! File:Guide Project Makoto Heh.png What...? A student should head home immediately after school! Are you saying that you stay out after dark? What are you getting up to, Makoto!? Now do as I say, and take off that incredibly stylish hoodie this instant! But it's a makeshift hardhat File:Guide Project Makoto Determination.png But this is the next best thing to a hardhat! A hardhat...? File:Guide Project Makoto Determination.png Yeah! I mean, this school's really dangerous, ya know? There's no telling what might happen! File:Guide Project Makoto Heh.png So, like...just in case...ya know? Hmm... You may have a point there... File:Guide Project Makoto Huh.png I do! I totally do! Well, if it's for your own safety, I suppose I can give you special permission, just this once... But the instant this school goes back to normal, you WILL hand over that amazingly cool hoodie! File:Guide Project Makoto Heh.png Y-Yeah, you got it... Students these days are utterly ignorant of proper dress code. It's quite a pain! And frankly, I don't understand youth fashion these days anyway! So this is a perfect opportunity for me to teach you all about how you should be dressing! File:Guide Project Makoto Heh.png ...Huh? Getting fashion advice from Taka is—well, let's just say unexpected... I wear this uniform 365 days a year, rain or shine, flood or draught, wind and hail and hurricane! File:Guide Project Makoto Huh.png Even on your days off? Even on holidays!? School itself may observe holidays, but there's no such thing as vacation for a student! So as long as I live the life of a student, I will always wear my uniform! File:Guide Project Makoto Heh.png I see... Also, I have ten sets of my uniform, so I always have a clean one. There's nothing strange about that. File:Guide Project Makoto Heh.png Um, no...I'd say wearing your uniform when you’re not at school is *totally* strange... I'd better keep that to myself, though... Hahaha! Trust me, wearing the uniform every day helps keep you motivated! You should give it a shot! File:Guide Project Makoto Heh.png Taka is exactly the kind of guy I thought he was...

Free Time Event 3 (Page 4)

Spend some time with Taka I'm weak, Makoto... So very weak... File:Guide Project Makoto Thinking.png What happened...? Haven't you realized? This school is missing something of utmost importance! Textbooks! Classes! File:Guide Project Makoto Heh.png Oh, um... I can't say I really miss that stuff. I'm just gonna come right out and say it... I'm freaking out! As we speak, we’re being left in the dust by other students our age! I'm totally freaking out! Makoto! What should I do!? If I keep involuntarily skipping class like this, I'm gonna reach dunce status in no time! File:Guide Project Makoto Determination.png I-It's really not that a big deal. Just calm down... File:Guide Project Makoto Thinking.png You were always at the top of your class at the private school you used to go to, right? I mean, you're basically genius level. File:Guide Project Makoto Neutral.png So even if you miss a few classes, it’s not the same as just some ordinary kid ditching... ... Genius...? Don't say that... File:Guide Project Makoto Huh.png Huh...? I'm no genius. I'm a normal person, just like anyone else. I'm from a middle-class family, you know? Actually they're not even middle-class... That's why I have to push hard! I have to knock down that wall! It's not geniuses that change the world. It's ordinary people who make every effort they can. And to prove that, I have to keep on making effort after effort after effort! So don't call me a genius! Don't lump me in with those lazy clods who don't put in any effort! File:Guide Project Makoto Hmm.png S-Sorry... That's not what I was trying to do. ... No, *I’m* sorry. I got a little carried away... But I only said all that because you and me are the same. You and me, we're just normal people. We know what it means to have to make an effort. That's why I want you to know exactly how I feel... File:Guide Project Makoto Hmm.png I understand... And that's why I'm so passionate about my work on the morals committee. I want to create an environment where everyone has the opportunity to give it everything they've got. That's why I put all my blood, sweat, and tears into creating that kind of environment. I want everyone else to understand that, too. In the end, you can't succeed if you don't try. Anyone who says differently is selling something. And I have to prove that to all the ordinary people out there so they'll keep on trying! I have to become the ordinary man who can surpass any genius! Those are the feelings I carried with me when I entered Hope’s Peak Academy... But now that I'm trapped in here, I've been robbed of the opportunity to make that effort... So now what am I supposed to do...? File:Guide Project Makoto Hmm.png Taka... Sorry, Makoto. I didn't mean to make you listen to my pathetic complaining... File:Guide Project Makoto Neutral.png No, it's not pathetic at all. File:Guide Project Makoto Determination.png I can totally understand why you'd be upset. You obviously feel really strongly about this. I really hope you don't give up hope and start to lose track of what you want to do. If you really believe that effort is what matters, then you *can't* give up, right? File:Guide Project Makoto Neutral.png Because if you can't make that effort, then what do you have left? ... I think until you said that just now, I'd totally forgotten what I was here for. The foundation of effort is the will to never give up. You're right. I have to try, no matter the situation. Even without classes, without assignments... I can just look back at what I've learned already and reinforce those basic principles! File:Guide Project Makoto Neutral.png Yeah, good idea! I'm glad we had this talk, Makoto. Wow, I feel so much better getting all that off my chest! As my way to say thanks, next time I buckle down for a study session, I'll make sure to invite you! Let's work together as fellow ordinary people to show those geniuses who's boss! File:Guide Project Makoto Neutral.png His face filled with the unwavering confidence I was used to seeing from him. I feel like maybe I'm starting to understand him a little better... File:Guide Project Makoto Thinking.png But I still think he might be a genius. Specifically, he's a genius when it comes to effort. Still, I did notice one thing... He seems to have a lot of hostility toward the idea of someone being a genius. Is there some reason he feels that way...?

Free Time Event 4 (Page 5)

Spend some time with Taka Would you like to study with me, Makoto? Just the two of us? Come to my room! If there's anything you don’t understand, I'm a very attentive teacher! File:Guide Project Makoto Heh.png Um...I don't think I need you to be all that attentive. File:Guide Project Makoto Neutral.png But sure, you don't mind if I stop by? Of course not! Okay, let's do it! File:Guide Project Makoto Neutral.png With Taka leading the way, we headed to his room. Welcome, Makoto! You're the first guest I've invited to my room! Now that we're here, let me pose to you a question. File:Guide Project Makoto Thinking.png A question...? Don't worry, no studying required! This is the most basic of basic questions. Very straightforward! Hahaha! This should be no challenge for you! Very easy, I assure you! File:Guide Project Makoto Heh.png Stop saying how easy it's gonna be. That just puts even more pressure on me... Okay, here we go. What country first established "zero" as a numerical concept?
File:Guide Project Makoto Thinking.png	Hmm... Zero as a number, right? I'm prety sure that came from an Asian country...
Greece File:Guide Project Makoto Thinking.png Could it be...Greece? I know they were famous for philosophy, so... Come on, Makoto! Don't try to guess your way through this! File:Guide Project Makoto Hmm.png S-Sorry... I'm sure you must have learned at some point in your education. Try to think back! Japan File:Guide Project Makoto Thinking.png Is it...Japan? Wrong! File:Guide Project Makoto Heh.png S-Sorry! No, you don't have to apologize. File:Guide Project Makoto Heh.png The way he reacted, I couldn't really help myself... But anyway, you're on the right track. It was an Asian nation, I can tell you that much. India File:Guide Project Makoto Thinking.png It was...India, wasn't it? Correct! Good job, Makoto! I had faith in you, and you came through for me! Seeing you get excited is getting *me* excited! Let's stack our effort one on top of other and show those self-centered genius jerks what for! File:Guide Project Makoto Thinking.png Hey, um...Taka? Yeah? File:Guide Project Makoto Thinking.png Well, I've just noticed...you seem to really hate the idea of geniuses. Hmm...I guess I feel like they're just...my sworn enemy, you know? File:Guide Project Makoto Huh.png Huh...? But you hit the nail on the head. You're pretty sharp! File:Guide Project Makoto Hmm.png But...why? There's someone... Someone I respect, someone I hate. Someone I have to surpass... Because he was a genius. File:Guide Project Makoto Huh.png What...? Toranosuke Ishimaru. Do you recognize that name?... He was my grandfather. He was once...Prime Minister of Japan. File:Guide Project Makoto Huh.png He was your grandpa!? He went from Minister of Foreign Affairs to Chief Cabinet Secretary, and finally...Prime Minister. And all without any support network, and only a high school degree...! He was, simply, a genius. Everything he did, he did without any effort. File:Guide Project Makoto Thinking.png He sounds like an amazing person. And he was your grandfather? He was a genius. He'd never known failure. His success was unimaginable to a normal person. But because of that... ...he allowed himself to be controlled by naive emotions, and got roped into a corruption scandal. He had no idea what the world of geniuses was really like. At least, that's how I see it. At that point, he fell just as fast as he had risen. And it wasn't just in politics. The business world had no use for him anymore, and he plummeted. The debt he left behind torments my family to this day. He died a few years ago. By the end, he wasn't speaking to anyone. Despite his fame, his legacy...the only people who came to his funeral were family members. File:Guide Project Makoto Hmm.png That's hard to imagine... Some consider genius fate's blessing. But I see it as a tragedy more than anything. The tragedy of finding success without understanding the importance of effort. There's nothing worse than a genius who trips and falls. Just like my grandfather... File:Guide Project Makoto Thinking.png And that's why you hate the word "genius"? My grandfather serves as in important lesson why you must never be deceived by words like "genius." Relying on my own effort, I will reach greater accomplishments than anything my grandfather ever did! So we have to work hard to build a society where those who put in the most effort are properly rewarded! File:Guide Project Makoto Neutral.png I-I see.... I can agree with him, but Taka and I aren't the same. I can't reach for those kinds of big dreams... But you know, Makoto...I'm really happy! I figured this school would be full of geniuses. I mean, I thought everyone would be my enemy. I never imagined I'd meet someone here who I could share my story with... I'm so lucky to have met you here! This kind of thing only happens once in a lifetime! I hope we can stay close, and combine our efforts to shape our efforts to shape things the way we want! File:Guide Project Makoto Neutral.png Yeah, definitely... Okay, we have to keep on studying! File:Guide Project Makoto Neutral.png I feel like I've come to understand Taka a lot better... I think we've finally become friends in the truest sense of the word.
