You've been talking to him for ages now! How do you not think he's super creepy?

[she's not projecting because the words he says be sounding kinda familiar and she Doesn't Care For That Shit At All.]

[commences]

( he's weak?? wtf, komaeda has half the mind to just knee rokkun in his leg because he's weak and limps, and knows where he hurts. he's takes a deep breath, annoyed, trying to pull the other way... wishes he'd stop, because the last time they left out a room...

stop, stop, stop.

he'll lift the jacket so he can bite down on it with his teeth, and with his prosthetic hand he'll wrap it around rokkun's wrist — squeezing, and if it hurts, it hurts. he's shaking his head to explain he doesn't want to go, and there's a visible, disappointed look in his eye... almost like he's judging rokkun for his choices.

is rokkun REALLY going to take him out there? #trauma. also rokkun can't get angry in the silence of the library, it's just not happening? komaeda's been living and starving here, don't take him out his element. )

[adsum]

[ He's a little creepy, but that doesn't mean he's not... ]

helping

[ is the word Hiro writes and holds up to her ]

[closewithnewintown]

[she stares at the word for a second, brows knit together in thought.]

... Does it really help?

[adsum]

[ He comes out of that room every day in tears, feeling miserable. But it's supposed to help. It's a process... or something.

He nods. ]

[closewithnewintown]

[she frowns.

well, she knows what her definition of helping would be. only one way to find out.]

If you had the choice, right now... To take back what you did, or do it again... Which one would you pick?

[adsum]

No— [ hastily, ]

I think just students and parents should be fine. Depending on how "family friendly" your booths are, maybe siblings. You don't need bigwigs when you have children begging their parents for things, and they're obligated to say yes because it's for charity.

[contrarily]

No, no, you're right, we should invite some bigwigs. I mean, parents will only give us so much money, right? I dunno if it'll be enough to even begin the dorm construction...

( what big companies even exist back in time like this... um... sony????? she's not sure. also he's sus? )

[adsum]

[ I hate this. Hiro looks almost excited, because who would pass up the chance at free things? He nods his promise to visit Komaeda at his kissing booth and you'd better hope Maya isn't there. ]

[adsum]

[ What the fuck is he doing, tying the jacket around Rokkun's wrist. He doesn't get it, but it's enough to make him pause in the middle of the library.

Look, there's no more imps. There's nothing out there that can hurt him besides 300 students and the universe. ]

[adsum]

[ It's with some hesitation, and he does look uneasy, but Hiro eventually holds up two fingers.

He would kill Kouji all over again, as many times as he had to. ]

[closewithnewintown]

[jerry.jpg]

Then it hasn't helped at all! That is... the opposite of helping!

[adsum]

[ Microsoft, General Electric, and Cisco, according to Google. ]

And what's your draw going to be to get those bigwigs to come out here...? We're in the middle of nowhere. In a forest.

[ They could write letters but it'll be pity money. ]

[commences]

( it's okay, komaeda always have hope on his side, but wish the same could be said about natsume and stephanie. looks at him from the corner if this thread, looks at trek as they read. i think hiro will be stopped unless he really likes free stuff.

or finds out komaeda's a murderer. )

When you find me, make sure you have a meal in mind... I'll get you that too. Your efforts have to be rewarded, and what other way would be best...

( than spending it on someone else's tab. )

Than coming together with everyone else.

[contrarily]

( INVITES BILL GATES )

The draw is seeing the cutest idol, Rika-chan, in a maid dress!!

( fistpumps!

... listen. pity money is still money. she's a beggar, not a chooser. )

[commences]

( komaeda's luck doesn't care!! sighs, he can play this game though, and he doesn't like they're standing in the middle of the library so he's going to push rokkun forward...

keep going before people see, and rokkun's holding his hand?? what if someone gossips... why is rokkun here, why isn't he at class, tbh. )

...

( when they do get outside the library, komaeda's going to stare at the vending machines. he's trying really, really, really hard not to cause a problem. )

[adsum]

[ Oh... That's right. You're supposed to get counseling to learn regret enough to not murder again. He does feel that— regret, remorse, guilt, all of that. He hated doing it. He hates having to live with doing it. He hates himself for doing it.

But that doesn't change the fact that Kouji Seki must die. ]

[adsum]

[ Steph tells him Komaeda is a murderer and he cries in his arms a little but that doesn't stop him from coming to the fundraiser and claiming his free stuff.

FREE STUFF AND A MEAL...!!

If I had a smiling Hiro icon this is where I would use it. ]

[closewithnewintown]

... What'd he even do?

[because - and this is very important - she will absolutely be down for the murder if the answer to this is bad enough for her specifically.]

[adsum]

[ hmms ]

Do I get a sneak peek at Rika-chan in a maid dress?

[adsum]

[ It's July. I could make him bleed and end everything here

But the moment they're out of the library and the pressure eases off his chest and lets him breathe a little easier, his grip on Komaeda's hand loosens just slightly too, letting himself be led to the vending machines. He stares at the items inside, for a moment, before changing his focus to Komaeda's reflection, trying to read the expression on his face.

... ]

What's your problem, Nagito?

[contrarily]

( HMMMM )

Maaaybe... if you ask super nicely. No sighing. No hmming!

[commences]

( IT'S LIKE KOMAEDA'S A SUGAR DADDY ALL OVER AGAIN. help, and listen, hiro's crying because he's so grateful that murderers give the best gifts and that's things for free.

NOO we will pretend it's a smile, and komaeda will blink, and then rub his eyes because is he seeing things or...

no... he has a perfect smile. )

Such a rare treat, should I thank you for it?

[adsum]

[ He does some vague hand motion.

Kouji did stuff. You know. Crimes. ]

[commences]

( sighs, his meat has to heal.

his expression isn't good, it's tired, dismissive, and he doesn't want to really be here. coming out the library means various things, but he feels more comfortable there than out here.

he has a problem, sure, he's had a lot of bad things happen, he's seen the hope in a class room almost damage itself. there's consecutive things that pose a problem to him. )

Nothing. I'm bored.

( it's a response, it doesn't answer much, but he keeps his hold on the jacket like it's been awhile since he seen it, it's also been awhile since he's seen rokkun. )

What do you want?
