"This happened in the future, after this interrogation"

Sae blinked as the words left her mouth. Wait. What had she just said.

"That makes sense. This is probably just your memory of this interrogation. You've actually been dreaming this whole time." Joker said without a trace of surprise in his voice.

"What are you talking abou-" Sae began.

All at once the darkness of the interrogation room vanished as she lurched awake. She blinked several times, her mind struggling to catch up to the waking reality.

The events of the interrogation had indeed taken place in the past. As she began to recall what had come to pass since, Sae silently admonished herself for working too hard.
