[He swallows hard, staying silent this time and letting Komaeda say everything he has to say for the moment. It's so difficult to hear. Even if Komaeda hadn't known it would be Nanami, it's still...
Naegi takes a minute to collect himself, shutting his eyes for a bit. But he opens them again when he feels like he's processed things enough.]
I'm... glad, Komaeda-san, that you don't want to... to kill yourself anymore. The thought of you comitting suicide... The thought of you dying...
[He can't finish the thought. It's hurts so much and Naegi is so relieved, because he hand't been sure how far Enoshima had pushed that wedge inside of himself. But not deep enough clearly, and it's a breath of fresh air for him, even if it's so upsetting.
No more... He doesn't want anyone else he cares about to die.]
However, there's... one thing I think you're wrong about.
I know I've only just gotten here, have only known you for a month... And it's probably overstepping my boundaries a lot, and I'm really, really sorry.
[It's awful. Who does he think he is? Naegi's already told Hinata almost those exact same words, but... But...]
But I don't... think you were a bad person. Even if you think you were. I know that... things you did were wrong. I know that, I do. But... The Komaeda-san I know now is a good person. A really, really good person. And if... you were able to become a good person here, then that possibility was always within you. That's... what I think, at least.
Or... maybe I'm just too dumb and too forgiving. [Naegi laughs, self-depricating, and this time a tear is actually falling down the left side of his face.] I mean... Both you and Hinata-san have told me that you were bad people before, and yet I still care about and look up to the two of you so much... And my classmates... They've done such terrible things, even killed each other or tried to and... And I still care about them so much and hold them in my heart.
[And it happens there. Both sides of his face, wet now.]
