For an untalented, you're capable of pretty interesting things.
( it's not proper praise, but it's enough to show that he's thinking of what she's done, and how well it was. for someone beneath him, she's pretty different, and that makes komaeda look at her a little differently than the normal folk that walk around in this school. people whose hope hardly shine, the way they waffle around waiting for something to roll into their hands, he can't deal with it. luckily, there are some ordinary, generic people who stand out among the rest, and this is where he turns to rokkun to look at him.
he sits still but is bothered by how mundane everything seems to be... normally his luck would proc for something terrible to happen, and yet things seem fine. they're both still alive, enjoying themselves as they exchange stories between one another, and depending on who speaks is where komaeda's eyes follow. the cake rika won't eat is passed to rokkun who seems capable of scarfing it all down, and then there's rika who's indulging in the conversation about killing komaeda off because of his health. it's pretty normal... something komaeda doesn't really understand or even get the chance to take part in, so he's silent at first, not sure of what to say.
better yet, it's when he notices rika's tears that he manages something. )
Ah! Look, Rokkun! She's so excited about the idea of hiking with you... she's come to tears.
( he laughs softly, unconcerned for what the real reason may be. )
You should take her along... since there has to be a place you like to do that at.
