[I can't help but feel like he's leaving something out...
But then again, there's a lot to unpack there all on its on. Hajime hums again, uncertainly, without lowering his hand from his lips.]
So... let me try to put this all together. You're saying on your first day of school at Hope's Peak, you were all... taken to Jabberwock Island? Except it couldn't have really been your first day, since I know Nanami and Koizumi and Kuzuryu were at Hope's Peak when I was. Which... makes sort-of sense, since you guys lost your memories of your time at school. That's... why you didn't know I wasn't actually your classmate.
[Did I lie to them about having a talent and being part of their class...? Or did the Project succeed?]
And it was all in an attempt to get you guys to fight amongst yourselves?
[That's so hard to believe, considering that SHSLs are mankind's hope. Who would want this.]
[Gundam doesn't really want to talk about their alternative goal of collecting "hope shards" and forging bonds together as classmates in the face of adversity.
[It sounds like nonsense, but... I don't think he's lying. He's leaving something out, but... I think he's telling the truth.
Hajime lowers his hand, absently offers a finger to-- which hamster was this again? He's forgotten. But he still offers a finger and a mumbled,] Good boy...
U-Um... I see. Maybe... it was a test? Run by Hope's Peak to study your talents or something.
[Gundam's mind wanders for a moment. As far as he knew his remaining classmates were still wasting away in that fun house. If time continued forwards in his absence, they all must have perished from starvation by now... unless someone had committed murder.]
...
Such a desire sounds foolish. They may have given me the Earthly title,but I still remain the Supreme Overlord of Ice.
No mortal being could ever dare rival my superior power.
[Was everyone in the fun house dead by now? ... had the Hajime of his timeline broken their contract and perished in this absence?]
[Cham-P can sense the heavy atmosphere between them.
Gundam absentmindedly moves to rub Cham-P as well, not expecting the hamster to squish down out of reach and let Hajime and Gundam's fingers touch instead.]

He wasn't very good at it.]
