They are either kidnapped (as they remember at the start, until the flashback light overwrites that part) or they could actually have done the application. Either way is possible, since none are proven or disproved. They're not 'scripted' but just manipulated. They could just as well be real personalities who just forgot about their previous lives. Same for their personalities being fake. It could be her faking it, it could be her having the wrong memories of who is 'fictional', etc.) Either the DR1, DR2, UDG, DR3 universe is fake and this is the 53rd game, or Tsumugi simply lied about it because she wanted to bring despair to the survivors. Originally posted by WithFieryTruth:Basically, the whole game is focused on lying, so you can't really trust anything that's thrown at you.Well, one of her last lines was about if she managed to be a good copy of junko.
