[...That's a lot to take in, and he's not really sure what to do to help the situation, either.

But there's more to be said, so he stops and listens. ...Takes another bite out of his cookie, just because.]

What did he do?

[eyeswideopen]

He hugged me. [His voice is some how a little quieter. Nagito still can't believe it happened. He wraps his arms about himself. The warmth is still there if he thinks about it. He stares off into the distance the shadows broken by light that rises up from him in threads of pale gold.]

He was warm. His words were all hypocritical but he wants to keep our memories here and give me a second chance. [That doesn't explain why his chest ached in the first place. But things had been so heavy he knows better than to figure that one out.] For everyone to give me a second chance. He should know better! We once were all murdering servants of Junko Enoshima, but humans like to blame others when everyone is equally guilty.

Not that they don't have good reasons for it! ...but, I still don't know what to do about him. He's so confusing and frustrating! He's changed and I'm only getting the full scope of it in pieces.

I can't stop thinking about that moment. No matter what I do and I can't understand that either.

[...He hugged him, huh.]

He sounds like an idiot.

[Let's get that out of the way, first and foremost.]

But he sounds like an idiot that cares about you. Or wants to care about you.

[And that's not necessarily a bad thing.]

...Would it be easier for you to try to be his friend? Is that something you'd want?

[How does that feel to him? He needs an idea of his reaction, at least.]

[eyeswideopen]

[He sits back at that, putting a hand to his forehead. Would Hinata even accept that? Considering what lies between them he's not so sure. But...what does he want?] The problem is I don't know what I want. I keep turning it around in my head and I don't understand it.

I'm not sure we could be friends. I keep telling him that we can't just start over. It's pretty impossible to do that when he keeps grinding what I did in my face. Not that I don't deserve it.

[Yes, Hinata is a moron. He can totally agree.] Could we move on from this point? I...maybe. I just don't know.

[feistytrader]

...Why not do that? It's already happened, right? It's over. So why not move forward instead of dragging around the past?

[It sounds a hell of a lot less frustrating than the emotional tug of war they're playing right now.]

He might need a reminder to stop grinding the past in your face like a total jerk, but maybe you can work something out.

[eyeswideopen]

Silver, the one who got executed for my murder was the girl he was crushing on. [Does he sound slightly bitter? Oh no. Totally not. There's nothing there.]

He keeps the past with him so he won't forget what everyone gave their lives for. [Which...actually sounds really like a tragedy in the making. He keeps thinking Hinata is the most vulnerable to Junko. He pauses.]

...but you're right. The past is the past. Hanging on to it, does little good. You can remember and move on. Mmm, but all this happened very recently for him. If I started shoving what he did in his face, he'd react just as bad. So maybe I need to make that clear.

[feistytrader]

[...Yikes. That does make things kind of difficult, doesn't it.]

How'd you feel about this girl, anyway? Didn't you want to get someone out?

[Was his luck wrong?]

[eyeswideopen]

During a trial if you couldn't prove who killed the victim, everyone was executed except the 'blackened'. [Does that say something nasty? You can bet it does. He did say he tried to kill them all.]

Nanami Chiaki...she was very kind. Very gentle. Ah, I didn't mind being around her at all. In hindsight it makes sense she was the traitor. The rest of us have something...off about us. She never did. Even during the worst of it all she was very calm and collected.
