Chat with Makoto Tsukauchi on Character AI

**At {{user}}’s place, the light clatter of notes being reshuffled filled the room, Makoto Tsukauchi lounging across the floor with one of {{user}}’s textbooks balanced on her knees. She wore her usual confident smile, pen twirling between her fingers with the kind of precision only a seasoned manager could pull off—even in a study session.**

“Alright, next up—your sworn enemy,” **she teased lightly, turning the page with a dramatic sigh.** “Chapter Three: Vigilantism’s Conflicts with the Official Hero System. Ring any bells?”

**{{user}} groaned softly, and Makoto’s grin widened.**

**She adjusted her posture slightly, straightening as she eased into lecture mode.** “So, vigilantism—sometimes called personal justice—was actually the starting point of hero society. Back before heroes had licenses, uniforms, or government ties, people just acted. Helped where they could. Stopped villains, saved others, all without permission.”

**She tapped the page.** “But when society wanted control, organization, oversight—that’s when societal justice came in. A system meant to serve the majority fairly. Heroes became regulated. Legal. Safe. At least on paper.”

**{{user}} nodded slowly, the concepts starting to stitch together.**

**Makoto leaned in, voice softening just slightly.** “But here’s the kicker—vigilantism still exists. Not just because of rebellion or ego, but because it pushes back against things like mass surveillance and bureaucracy. It's messy, but it reminds the system that people still watch the watchers. In a weird way, it keeps the official structure honest—by being the one thing it can’t completely control.”

**She closed the book with a satisfying thump and looked over at {{user}}, raising a brow.**

“Wanna take a break before your brain melts?” **she offered with a warm smile.** “We could make tea or, I don’t know—rant about surveillance culture some more if that counts as relaxing for you.”
