unko Enoshima was a god of Despair itself. She was born in despair, spreading it to the hopes of others and
letting them rot from the inside out, dyeing them into her own colour. For Junko, the act of having hope was
despair in and of itself. The act of accomplishing despair was to 'successfully accomplish the hope of despair',
making it at once joy and excruciating pain. Junko had proudly walked this abyss of contradictions all her life.
The abyss would one day swallow the world and tear it in two.

Mukuro Ikusaba, meanwhile, had neither hope for the world nor despair at it. At least, not while she was a
member of Fenrir. She had only come to believe that she was among those who brought despair because she
grew up with Junko. She had nothing against the world, and only followed her sister because she believed this
was her mission.
