So to add some lore to this.. Makoto remembered the first game even though in this timeline that game never happened.. So he had a gut feeling about Junko being a bad person and told Byakuya.. Makoto did not stop having the visions btw Junko knew he would be a liability and decided to kill Makoto early in the night. However Byakuya was killed as the blackened. She used the power of DESPAIR (this sounds so cringy-) to convince him that he did it. She got off scot free until chapter 3 where she was “executed”. Also I made her Heather Chandler in my Heathers related stuff- Cause Queen Bee, “Head honcho”, Mastermind? idk if it makes sense lol
