[ I did and I was soooo sad I couldn't save his blushy one so instead Rika gets yelly Akira who tries very hard to pull his shirt back down but not before she catches a glimpse of a flat stomach with no abs, she shouldn't be disappointed. ]

Stop that!

[ There's a new example on the board, a diagram of a beam of light refracted and reflected, ending up smaller and upside down compared to the original. ]

1. Why didn't you expect it?

[ Answer his question, and Komaeda can ask the next one. This is how the game works. ]

( CUTE!! he looks v different though im crying THE DISPARITY...

anyway, this is about what she expected, yeah. no muscle... akira only works out at the library. that said, she's more interested in his side, tugging his shirt up there. )

Akki, if anyone bullies you, tell me, kay?! I'll deal with them!!

[ His glasses are gone and I suddenly don't trust him, i'm crying ]

This is— [ desperately tugging down his shirt ] kind of bullying right now, Kawai-san...!

[ His side is unremarkable save for one old scar, several inches long and paler than the rest of his skin, just above the hip bone. ]

( glass-less akira... maybe he was the 3 am ori all along... )

... ( she glances at the scar, then back up to his face, letting go.

well, they've all got some, right? this one must be old, silver and pale on his skin, and if she feels bad, it doesn't show on her face, but — )

Akki, this is why you gotta tell me no clearly, okay? ( she'll bully him until he grows a backbone and shoves her away one day, or something. listen... this is her way of caring for people. ) Come on, say it! Unless you secretly like it when I touch you... ~

( he's running for president? nagito biden will approve the message.

not going to lie to you, he's caught up on what they've solved and what they haven't, what a poor show of hope... they haven't solved much, have they.

he's listening... sort of in and out. )

...

( he sighs, no matter, his mood swings win this round. oh yeah, the rocks that they were given individually. he'll walk over to them both to hand his side of the rock back to rokkun. )

Can you give me written proof with your signature that's what we have to do?

( no one really trusts komaeda with this sort of thing, so if they believe he's talking out his ass, then he's going to agree for the hell of it. )

Also... do we have the technology here to make a video happen? ( wait, maybe rika was onto something when making him look like an idiot — tbh, doesn't need her to do that. ) Maybe if we can find people who are capable of dancing... it'd be like having idols, and people will swarm to that!

because you're inviting me to come to your class to make it happen
trash like me? yeah, it's definitely something i wouldn't have expected
when there's other better people to choose from

( that's also the truth, komaeda isn't one to lie when he makes his intentions clear, everything else comes down to... walk him out the door? what can he even do or say between that time? maybe this is rokkun's chance to kill him.

... now komaeda's wondering if he goes one or two. )

1. the first time you called us "partners in crime," you seemed hesitant. what things did we do together?

( treason? attempted murder? vandalism? terrorism? emotional abuse? destruction? war crimes? you know, the works? )

...I think they like you.

[This is NOT THE TIME. (But he claps Clamor on the shoulder anyway because this is just so funny.)

Sorry to the kids outside measuring grass, there's a good reason that he's making them do this! He'd do it himself if he could leave the school. That aside... it's time to grab chalk and make a mess of this nice classroom.

Lucifer works on drawing a very ornate banishing circle. Unfortunately, when you're a demon, you get used to these things, so he has one memorized not for the purposes of this exactly but because he's been banished before. People really do summon Lucifer Himself and then think that's a bad idea and try to put him back. ~~Idiots.~~ Naturally, there's room for the protective wards too, which are the arguably more important right about now.

Anyway, idle conversation while drawing:]

I think after this, I'm going to have to teach these kids about blood magic.

[ I couldn't stand him and so 6pm Ori nuked 3am Akira, goodbye ]

I— I don't...

[ nnnn ]

...I think you can tell when somebody is uncomfortable, and instead of preying on that, you should be a little more considerate.

[ Maya tsks at the question, and shakes her head as a blanket statement. ]

Handheld videocameras can be found in any person's home; don't make the mistake thinking your only resources are within this school and amongst your own group of— [ ...what are they, even ] ...your own group. It's a school-wide effort, and the dorms, if we manage to raise the funds, will be open for all students in the school.

[ That said, she goes back to eating her lunch. ]

I will not provide you written proof of anything. If people do not believe your words, then you need to work on improving your relationship with others. Your half-assed attempts piss me off, otherwise.

( NOOO FAREWELL SWEET PRINCE )

Oh, I can tell. I just don't care until you voice it.

( ??? why should she, when he just lets it happen? )

Here, try it! Try shoving me against the wall — ( and she spreads her arms, grinning. ) Say, "stop messing around!" and shove me! ( she looks very excited at the idea of akira doing it. not because it's all that exciting all in itself, but listen... it's akira? )

[ He takes the rock in his hand and heaves it hard at—-

no, nonono, stop ]

Thanks.

[ He accepts the rock in cupped hands, feeling the weight of it and trying to focus on the iridescence instead of

anyways. ]

The cake isn't going to be a souvenir I'm taking home to remember you guys by, you know...? Besides, I won't ever forget you two.

[ It's called consideration!! Kawai-san!!!! ]

Wha- no way! I can't!

[ She spreads her arms which means he's free which means he clutches the hem of his shirt so she can't grab it anymore and takes a huge step back away from her. ]

I'm not going to ye— [ no, he's already yelling ] —shove you! That's mean!

( god, it's the verbal abuse for him... he loves it. )

Arisu-san... you're part of our group too, you know?

( he's not going to stare at her food anymore, but it does smell good, did she cook that all on her own? he takes a deep breath before thinking about what people's homes he could use to his advantage. rokkun would be the obvious choice for him, chiaki would want someone of izumi's... maybe his hair would be a good trade. akira's too afraid, then hiro lives with maya and she looks like she'd break the fuck out of komaeda's arm, when will kouji's parents think komaeda is his cousin and bring him the stuff he needs? )

Remember when you were just as curious as me behind the school rules... you're interested about this place as well, aren't you?

( komaeda doesn't find her no different from them despite her harsh attitude, but he's dealt with hinata so the negativity goes over his head. same as her comment, the idea of working out his relationship with some people... if they can't accept him for who he is, how will they ever move forward? he doesn't see the need to adjust for many of them. )

We're going to figure it out together.

[ He looks over at Komaeda like ?? ??? bc meeting up after class isn't inviting him to class— not like this, sitting together and unable to pay attention to the lecture and having to rely on Komaeda's notes later. ]

Better people know better than to be with me
Crime
3. Does a past you don't remember matter?

I'm part of the student body.

[ So in the broadest sense, yes, she is part of his group. But she wouldn't be caught dead being part of his Group. ]

I'm interested in the school, yes, and I plan to lead the students to the end. I am also aware that I cannot do everything on my own...

[ That's why student council. That's why she puts up with the likes of Komaeda and Natsume. ]

So pull your weight and make some damn friends, Komaeda. Stop bothering me.

( god wish i had my head smashed in by a rock right about now )

Hmm... even after you leave us behind here? ( she hums, letting go to walk around and flop right in rokkun's lap, facing him.

no pay attention to rock pay attention to HER. )

You'll probably forget the moment you're out... so meaaan. Right, Koma-kyun?

( never heard of that!!!!!!!!! )

So what?! Sometimes you have to be a little mean to survive, you know!

( so do it!! shove her!! )

( it's inviting him, accept him as a third-year, rokkun! which, he'll just come anyway especially if the teacher doesn't notice... he's a good boy, writing down their notes so they can pass their next exams.

when he looks back over at what's written, he thinks about the struggle that hinata himself endures, not knowing anything, and how komaeda finds this karma that the same is happening to him. something like this would happen to him, and he guesses that's what he gets for being "lucky". forget the past and the future will hold something better for him, he doesn't know what it is just yet, but he's holding out — maybe it's rokkun's hope, maybe that's what he gave the past up for. )

i'm not going to remember anything one day
you of all people know this, but if it was avoidable, i'd like to know.
4. what memories do you want me to remember

Do not??

[ Hello???? who the fuck says so????? ]

If you surround yourself with good people, people help each other instead of bringing each other down. There is zero reason for me to push you around.

...

( make friends, she says, which komaeda can't help the bits of laughter that leaves past his lips. of all people, hearing it from someone who rejected getting a cabinet from someone special tell him to make bonds, have attachments, better himself. )

Will you do the same?

( it can be a team effort, he thinks. will he go out and do what must be done to ensure he makes friends? well, who knows, and it's not like maya has to do that herself. )

When you come to the event, you're going to let me walk you in, treat you right, and we can try to make friends then.

[ Look!!! She has power and intimidation on her side, people listen to her because they don't have a choice. Not so with Komaeda. ]

No. I'm not paying for that.

Perhaps Kawaii-san is right...

( as he thinks about it... his head kind of hurts, the way he has to listen to rokkun say things such as he won't forget them, but he'll never see them against unless their paths are fated to connected. to him, hope is the only path that he should be walking, and that saddens the ultimate to no end.

as rika makes her way into his lap, komaeda walks around, standing right behind him as he leans forward, wrapping his arms around rokkun's neck, and pressing his chest against the back of his head, and komaeda rests his chin on top after. it's like taking place where rika left off in her migration. he hums thoughtfully, sighing as he looks down to meet rika's gaze to communicate with her silently — )

Or maybe he won't forget... maybe he'll leave us here to drown in these unsolved mysteries... the only thing that will be left of us... ( he sighs, the tips of his index and middle finger picking at the fabric of rokkun's shirt purposefully to kill time. ) ...is our corpses that'll haunt him.

[ Rokkun accepts so damn much but that doesn't change the school roster. ]

Every dies and everybody forgets. But I'm talking about right now
I want you to remember our original promise. It'd be meaningless if I told you
5. What memories do you want to remember?
