( strangers in a crowd? then they were all nobodies to komaeda, parts of the world that held no meaning whatsoever, but that could have been different for everyone else. as for komaeda, each one of those lights... )

I was excited to crush them, I didn't have the luxury of experiencing something so simple. How I felt... ( because death is a stepping stone, and no matter if he's wrong or if he's right — he abides by hope, so he's always been... good. ) I enjoyed myself!

( and because they were souls with no actual form for him to care about, he would have sniped others if given the chance. )

To be seen isn't anything like seeing, to notice someone... they stand out compared to the rest. ...If that's true, out of all those lights, the one that stood out first was... you.

( glad that rokkun knows the rules to keeping his eyes shut until komaeda says so, because he's going to start by looking under his wristband to check his tallies as he speaks. this way he doesn't have to see komaeda doing it, but he sure as hell will feel it. )

Let's sneak out tonight, they won't be the same, but lights are lights. You weren't there when we saw them at first, but we can see them together.
