( the thing about komaeda is that he does this and he does that, moreover, he's ignoring what she has to say until she mentions something worth listening to. he may be trying to garner sympathy out of her, but whether she's aware of the problem with the food means nothing to him..

until she mentions a name that makes his eyes sparkle. )

Ishimaru-kun? Wow, you know him too! Isn't he the best..!!

( he is the best, a concept of hope lodged in komaeda's mind that he adores. though the way he speaks almost sounds as if he's known the man forever — kirakira, a warm smile that seems trustworthy. )

I respect him! I don't know about his murderous friends though.. their hope was pretty weak compared to his.

( now he sounds disappointed — is it because if them being killers or is it because their hope was weak? too bad he's not going to stay on the subject as he walks closer to nene, peeking to see what she's putting away. )

I'm unsure of your hope... but your kindness is paramount, I feel like I can leave my arm in your care.
