[He breathes out softly at those words, touched at the gentleness of it as he gazes up at Komaeda. His senpai is so tall.]
Komaeda-san...
[A few more tears fall - why do his shoulders feel this wet? - and then Naegi quickly scrunches his eyes shut and swipes at his cheeks, feeling embarrassed and guilty.]
Terrible... I'm terrible... I came here to ask about Nanami and made this about me...
I... know I need to talk about this with someone. There's a lot of things my friends and I went through... A lot of horrible things we saw. But... how can I do that now, at a time like this...?
[He'd meant to talk to Hinata. Should have. They'd promised to share their burdens about the killing games... But he'd been gone for two weeks, and then when he'd gotten back Nanami was gone... And how could Naegi burden his senpai - any of his senpai - with his own problems when the pain of losing Nanami was so fresh...?
Just like now.]
I don't want to burden you right now, though... Especially not while talking about this. You... You were so upset just a short while ago, it started snowing...
[He squeezes his eyes shut again at the thought. But he gets himself together again, and against the voice that keeps screaming "no" at him, sits down on the couch.
He shouldn't... Not when Komaeda is upset, and he still needs to ask things about Nanami that will probably upset him more... But...
His heart is so heavy.]
I... don't feel like a good person at all right now... [Naegi's fingers twist together in his lap. Something in him had felt lighter at those last words, but it gets buried under the guilt.] Not when I've troubled you so much.
