( what feelings does nanami think he have? he's almost curious despite not knowing how they actually work — he always had an idea, but he feels as if they don't work out in his favor. unfortunately, he shouldn't leave how he feels to someone like her who is also figuring out how she feels in regards to her surroundings. he's adjusted longer than she has, so he doesn't expect the same results that he's went through. )

...

( at this point, he wishes that he had the clipboard so that he could place his attention on that than her words. he likes to think he's aware of people's feelings, that he understand those around him without inviting himself in their life. he keeps them at a distance, but he likes to think he, of all unlikely candidates understand them. he looks down at the table where he had signed, and then he looks up at her to read her previously hidden face. )

Ahahaha, you shouldn't say that so freely, you'll hurt Hinata-kun's feelings.

( he hears her, but he's unable to keep a topic on himself, but he understands what she's getting at. despite his efforts within the virtual world, he understood her enough. that's because komaeda took his bonds with others serious. he thinks about the bond he shares with nanami, and while he doesn't know everything about her predicament after he dies — he feels a little different now. whether that's good or bad, he doesn't say. )

You don't have to invite me Nanami-san, as you know... I appear when everyone least expects it!

( but it does feel... nice. )
