( the way ori said cut the bullshit... he'll tell them when he feels like it!! this is emotional manipulation!
his thoughts are fleeting, the corner of his lips raising into a smile at this really being him — the same one-track minded idiot that focuses on one thing (selectively), and makes it work out in his favor. in death, there's something comforting about having someone there for you, or to hear them in your final moments. while komaeda can't think like that for himself, or ever had that relief, but he wonders if the way rokkun appears means that he's satisfied, that he feels loved. in turn, it's better than what npc-kun had told komaeda before, living in a unknown world, unsure of what happened to their brother. at least here, there's this sort of second chance to give them something they didn't have before.
hope.
the lack of heartbeat tells him something, and yet, he looks over to both hinata and helena with how kogamo begs to be picked up. it's not a bad sight, but he wonders if he should excuse himself because of how he'll ruin the mood, especially with the attention given between everyone. his concern drifts from one side for various reasons, split between the people and kogamo themselves, and then his eyes quickly look towards natsume. he doesn't know what to say, so he feels a little off. he's not heartless, easing himself into the situation with a familiar smile, soft, and warm, but who knows if that's because of the death, or to see the scene before him.
while those two seem busy with the child, komaeda has to deal with how aware natsume is, but he doesn't care much if he gets caught. his other arm is out of order, so the one that he does have manage to slip out from rokkun's cold fingers, and he slowly begins to remove his jacket (please hinata, for the love of god don't let kogamo look this way). that's only a coverup for how he's trying to check the deceased for anything specific, it he carried something important on his body. looting is wrong... but a dead body is a dead body no matter how komaeda looks at it, detrimental to investigations, so he has to check is anything stands out.
kinda crying how perfect his name is we perceived the future
