( after natsume's clap, komaeda blinks as if trying to force the drowsiness from his eyes, and he looks towards the miniscule lights here and there. this sudden feeling of taking a nap didn't come until they arrived, and so he hums softly as he tries to get a good idea of where everyone is from the small bits of light. )

...

( he lets natsume go so he can properly clap, and komaeda doesn't want to hold him back — he has an idea, and he's going along with it. with the group close enough, he manages to shuffle behind natsume and hinata just a bit, and with both his hands he'll slap them at the same time against their ass — )

Just to keep the lights away. ( whatever those lights happen to be, and if either natsume or hinata made a reaction... that's komaeda taking his turn to make some sound, you know? don't disappoint him. ) I heard it as well since the start... but with this many, it hasn't gotten any louder..

( or are they just not being subjected to their power? either way, with the lights all around them, it probably doesn't matter where they go because they'll run into them eventually. )

I didn't get a good look when trying to squash it. ( there wasn't any residue on his hands either that he feels so. ) It's no firefly, that's for sure.
