[ Hiro makes a confused sort of face at "extremely old," but then again, anybody over 20 is old when you're in high school. He nods at "good-looking" though, because... yeah.

Anyways.

He raises a hand and makes that talking gesture with it, what did they talk about? did Natsume cry ]

[ Yeah, if he could just stay gold dust that would be idea. She would paint Izumi and smear Hyde all over the canvas like glitter ]

I'm painting Izumi! I was thinking, instead of super gluing them to his locker one by one when I finish, I'm gonna surprise him by giving a bunch to him all at once on his birthday! I've got a whole collection going and all, I've brought all the old paintings I've done of him from home too, he's going to be sooooooooo surprised!!

Your- what?

[ Why keep a list when Komaeda can just pull the class roster off the wall in the locker area—- anyways, he was going to joke something about a love letter, but the words catch in his throat. ]

"Arata-kun"...

[ ... ]

( he would want a love letter, huh? anyway, don't look at him like that!! )

Hm...? Is there a problem?

( as soon as they get to the courtyard doors, he's going to push one side open so rokkun can go first — it's hot out there right? oh, i hate it. komaeda's too pale for this, he's going to burn. )

[ Yeah he would. Anyways maybe this was my master plan all along, baked Komaeda ]

Yeah.

[ Komaeda can stand there with one arm holding the door open forever but Rokkun doesn't move. ]

You haven't called me that in years... It hurts knowing you hate me, Nagito, but will still hang out with me.

Hm...? I think you misunderstand my intentions.

( he's going to close the door because he's not going to burn his arm. )

In years... ( he must feel safe and comfortable with that nickname, huh... ) I was only doing as the teacher at detention said, that I should respect my seniors and also say your name properly, but...

( if he hated him, he would have let him go that day, but he didn't... he chose to act and ask for help. )

I never knew by saying your name in that fashion you'd take it that way.

( if he could place a hand to his chest, he would, because there's something about a "you," that doesn't sit right with him. it's about the love he has for hope, how much he'd do anything for it — his dreams, his wants, things like that doesn't matter when he has to focus on the others that need his assistance. he's not even a person, he's trash they can get rid of at any time, there's no amount of worth to his life. good luck, bad luck, a mediocre, that's all he has, nothing meaningful to the world of hope like the symbols around him. )

...At the start, they seemed confused, it was pathetic, and I couldn't exist seeing them that way.

( lost and confused, not sure of what to do, not even trusting one another — people didn't even speak, but crossed paths all because they were worried about who brought them here, and also some who were adjusting, accepting this position. )

To allow their hope to settle is... a disgusting thing to see, especially when it should radiate around them, and light a path for those who need it. Do you know what hope is... it's absolute good, it's where dreams ( it could be the position rokkun is in of how much he dreams for graduation, strives for that ), a boundless justice ( maybe it's like saihara's search for the truth ), and bliss ( perhaps the state of stephanie's world where the worst thing that happens is an argument... who knows, ymmv. ) all come together, but that sounds like the stuff of fantasies...

( but he doesn't expect the counselor to understand, a few people tend to have trouble, but this is where he has complete faith in some of the ultimates... some. )

I'll help them achieve that hope through any means, but when you list out such simple ones, it sounds... boring, because once they achieve it... that's that. The thing about hope is that it's forever, and doesn't just end... graduation's a one time thing, but influence of hope is meant for everyone to bask in.

( ... ) Can I get up now.

( The Arisu twin lore... and he thinks about asking about it, but Hiro's quiet voice, the two of them sitting on the Home Ec room floor together, gently pushes that thought away. They'd know, and at least one of them wouldn't appreciate it. )

I wish you the best of LUCK. ( A little smile. ) While I'll still do my best to return your soul to YOU... Dealing with people is more my specialTY, so if you have need of anymore advice regarding that type of THING, don't hesitate to come by 2-D and ask for ME.

[ Oh, free advice ]

What's the best way to deal with Ouma?

Since when did you listen to others?

[ Especially with something insane like this. His seniors... No, those are two separate things, respect and using Rokkun's proper name. ]

Names have power. You should know something as simple as that.

I've been watching them. It would have been a boring school year if they haven't come together in such a way... I'm grateful for what transpired as well.

[ Simple, Komaeda calls those hopes, but when they're impossible to achieve? it might as well be forever. Either way, the counselor pops another rice cracker in his mouth, crunching on it as he lifts his feet off the arms of the chair so he can sit cross legged on the desk instead, causing the chair to spin slightly and with that little bit of movement Komaeda will find that he's able to move and get up. ]

What of the little hopes? Once achieved, another blossoms in its place. Survival. Graduation. Saving everybody in the process. Hope may not be universal, but it is eternal.

Let's talk about this outside.

( they can keep their conversation private, but he's not going to push the door open again. )

I didn't mean to get under your skin, Rokkun... Do you hate me now, too?

( thinking about how he deals with ouma by Not dealing with him until he absolutely has to.

But Nao's in the same class as him, right? So there's no way for her to do that... Hmmm. )

Depends on how you're dealing with him NOW. I wouldn't want to suggest something you're already doing that isn't working already, you SEE.

Like Komaeda-san, you MEAN.

( Like, as stupid as it is, he does, by some miracle, have people who like him and want to see him not die. Not that he can so easily anyway, which is frustrating in itself. )

But we're not supposed to talk about other students, RIGHT? ( (: ) My apoloGIES.

( he's not sorry tho he's never sorryyyyyyy )

( is it a breach of patient confidentiality if he offers it himself,

wait hold on. )

I'll tell you about mine if you tell me about YOURS. It's only fair, isn't IT? And we're best friends beSIDES.

( friendship upgrade )

I could never.

[ Unfortunately for him. But fine, he's the one who'll push the door open this time, stepping through and holding it so Komaeda can come out. ]

I guess I'm not... really... dealing with him.

[ So basically any advice is good advice when they're starting from nothing ]

It's tough, 'cause he knows what he's doing but acts like he doesn't and doesn't tell anybody, so what good is that to anybody?

[ There's a smile that'll have to stand in for confirmation, because he's not supposed to name names. ]

There are others. [ "too" is implied, doesn't need to be said ]

I am hopeful for you as well, Sakasaki. You have already shaken fate.

[ Hm... he doesn't really like talking about it, and just thinking back on his counseling sessions makes him a little uncomfortable, but they're friends... best friends...

there's a little flutter in his chest at the thought, but it's hard to pin the feeling

But Natsume says they're best friends, so!! he nods. Because it'll be like Natsume telling him things and Hiro pantomiming back ]

...I feel like I deserve your hatred.

( you can have your baked komaeda now, because his skin doesn't really do too good in the sun. when he starts peeling, please help him pick off the dead skin. )

...You call everyone by their first name, but you dislike what I did. You want to be special to everyone?

( names are special, but their names sit in the class roster list for people to pick through. when he walks through the door, he's going to immediately fan himself. )

( closes eyes... this was meant to be a light-hearted date, but honestly, after her conversation with stephanie, she has a hard time thinking about the actual, supposed romantic-aspects of the meeting and more of... rokkun's apparent lost memories and what he'd traded in for getting them erased. the fact that he visits counselor isn't anything surprising — unfortunately, no matter how much she ignores it, the fact that he's a killer pertains, but...

at least she still wears her carefully prepared nekomaid dress, because how could i resist.

it still feels a little odd doing this in the elevator, given that... someone was murdered here just a while ago, but, you know what, it's clean now, and she steps in and presses the button for the second floor, grinning wide when the door opens and she sees him. and hopefully nobody else, because the first thing she says is: )

Welcome home, Master! Would you like your dinner, a bath, or... me? ( she practiced for this!!!!!!!!!! )

It's not that, it's... [ mm ] Senpai privilege. That aside, you're plenty careless towards me, but you haven't done anything to deserve being hated. Not by me.

[ Everybody else he can see, yeah. Once they're outside and he sees Komaeda immediately start to perish, Rokkun takes his jacket off his shoulders and sets it over Komaeda's head and shoulders instead, because better sweaty than having your skin slough off. ]

Just for now...

[ Imagine if the door opened and it wasn't Rokkun ]

( this is why she paused ok she's CHECKING FIRST )

( A look of irritation at that description, because that's... not... unlike what he does... god he cant stand ~~people like him~~ ouma )

You have two choiCES. Either you just ignore HIM, or you act overly friendLY. I get the feeling he's the type of person who'll just try harder if you ignore him THOUGH, because that shows that his presence annoys you and he seems to enjoy that type of THING. ( :/ assigns ouma komaedakin bc he can ) ConverseLY, being friendly might turn him OFF... At least, that's my experience with boys like Ouma-kun.
