( then he'll talk as he sits on the sink, delighted with what's to happen, the thought of seeing hiro's efforts like this. he may not be able to see, but komaeda can give some blind trust to an untalented, and he has maya's praise in mind as well. she wouldn't put her brother in a position to be a laughingstock to the entire school, but motivation is motivation, and if he believes then well... that'll bring about something.

ecstasy is the perfect word, especially when lifting a hand to settle over his heart. )

Hope is... everything I want to see from the people around us, how they come together after battling their inner darkness.

( he sighs wistfully, leaning back against the mirror to slowly close his eyes, making himself comfortable. as he thinks about it, hope is what he wants, and more. he can't imagine a world that lacks it, and he's too invested in everyone here to miss out on the chance of how they'll shape the future. ultimates, the brightest stars here than those who are untalented, guided by the help of ultimates. they have their own hope that could do something, mediocre enough to maybe lift a small pebble, but at least that's something. )

What's inside of you, Arisu-kun...? What type of hope do you have...? To do this for us, to enable the chance of a fundraiser, you want to see them all come as one... don't you?

( their happiness, together. it's what he wants. this may not make sense to hiro, but it comes off as good intentions, and means so much to komaeda.

also he doesn't have to answer, he's just doing that hope horny talk that's all. )
