A promise is a promise. We'll be working together, then. [ adjacent together, not together together ] So you aren't allowed to mope anymore when bad things happen. It'll only make the person stronger, isn't that what you always said?
[ Stepping stones, or something. Komaeda's always enthusiastically bringing it up, so he should have no problems with Rokuro making his stupid choices and getting hurt by them. ]
no subject
( when bad things happen, something better comes from it — that's why it's important to see everything through to the end no matter what. )
I can mope anytime I want... I feel a little depressed right now... ( even if rokkun looks away, komaeda removes his hand after, and he thinks that maybe rokkun doesn't want to be touched by him. he looks at his hand, agreeing to himself that he is trash... so. )
What's your plan? You're aware, aren't you? The things that I do to spread hope... no one here likes it, and what if I get in your way...
( so tell him what's happening so he can avoid doing that. )
no subject
[ what hundreds of billions of things has you depressed, nagito
he sighs a little to himself, rolling back stiff shoulders. ]
I'm going to graduate. [ This is, and will always be, the end goal. But more than that, what he's said once before: ] I'm going to dismantle this school.
And I'm going to take everybody with me.
no subject
Dismantle the school?
( quickly, his eyes raise from the ground, and to rokkun from his specific choice in words. )
Well... that's interesting, but when you say it like that... ( his hands raise, moving as he talks while trying to come to an understanding of what's being said. it isn't long until one rests on his hip, you know the gay posture he does. ) are you sacrificing everyone here for your out?
( it's not like komaeda hasn't done the same before, but he shouldn't think that rokkun would do the things that he do because of those goals that's within their reach. )
no subject
...
Anyways, ]
I said I'm taking everybody with me. And I mean everybody.
no subject
...
( thinking bout how he's insane, and maybe he should have killed komaeda when he had the chance. me and enh sitting on call like why does he do this, what's wrong with him. )
That's kind of you, who knew you had a heart that worried for everyone here! Do you not trust their methods of getting out?
no subject
anyways, yeah, no, idk what's wrong with him ]
It's not like I'm worried about them... Their methods aren't going to work and mine is. And when it does, this place is no longer going to exist.
[ He's taking everybody because... of something... Not out of concern, not really, at least he tells himself. But they're not going to have anywhere else to go, so he's taking them with. ]
no subject
...Is that something I promised with you? To take them all along... ( with as many students that are left, he closes his eyes before opening them slowly, empty as always. ) where are they supposed to go... I think half of them can die.
( maybe he's searching for a reaction, but it's not like he doesn't trust him. )
no subject
Is it something you would promise?
[ Nagito "deaths are stepping stones towards a more hopeful future" Komaeda ]
...They'll go wherever they go. That's not my problem. But anywhere they go will be better than here, stuck without being able to go anywhere or do anything or be anyone.
no subject
To you, them, or myself? ...I want to help their hopes, that's all I can do for them.
( they sure are rokuro "i tried to die and not even achieve the goal" arata. hm... )
...What are their options if you get them out of here? ( what are the places other than here? they have been locked up for so long. ) Heaven? Hell? Do they turn into butterflies and watch after their loved ones?
no subject
I don't know. It depends on what you believe in, I guess. [ maybe heaven, maybe hell, maybe the oblivion of nothing at all ]
What do you think? ...Or want to think?
no subject
...It doesn't matter where trash like me ends up, I'm just debris scattered in the ocean going wherever the currents decide.
( and that makes him sigh slightly sad. )
As for them... They don't want heaven, or hell, then again some of them were dead before coming here...
( ishimaru-kun, this causes a small frown... ugh his ultimate, but he looks up at the sky darkening. he takes a deep breath as he enjoys the peace. ) ...They'd want what you want: to go back home, to carry on what they couldn't.
no subject
[ Not likely, either, but not impossible— it's what he holds onto, anyways, going back, slotting himself in a time and place where he went the other way, where he had won the coin toss. ]
That's not my role in all of this, though, so all of this is just speculation and nothing else.
no subject
( quickly, he swallows down the saliva in his throat so that he doesn't slob. it's always exciting when it comes to a person's hope, the things that they do, how hopeful it is considering rokkun does everything on his own. it can't make komaeda stop from reaching out to rokkun, both his hands grabbing one of his as he looks up at him curious, he almost feels like he's on cloud nine. maybe he should be grateful that it's dark enough so the flush visible on his cheeks isn't seen... maybe. )
...How many times have you tried this goal of yours? I want to see it through! Is there anything I can do, hm... let me in...
no subject
Nothing on this large a scale. It's the sort of thing I can only try once, anyways, or people will try to stop me.
[ But there have been attempts in the past. So many troubleshooting trial. He had died often. ]
All you need to do is be you. Reach out to as many people as you can. If you can make them feel "hope," and everything on my end goes well, I know we can do this right.
no subject
( the tight grip that he had on rokkun's hand lessens, but he continues to hold onto him as he thinks about the sort of hope he should spread. with all the people within the school, he could do various things, but it's whether they accept that hope, and use it to move forward. some hate what he's done, others can hardly understand it, some would rather not have hope at all. )
What do you have to do? I understand my side of things...
( it's not really anything he's not used to, it's the norm, but hope is an important factor in his life. )
Why don't you let me do what you're doing... you must be tired, and if it's for you ( r hope, ) ...then I'll take part in that as well.
no subject
[ Hmm... his role in all of this? ... ]
Right now it's physical therapy. I need to be able to move like I used to, first of all.
[ Needs to get faster, stronger, better... All in all, it's a waiting game. ]
And I need to survive until graduation. These are things I have to do for myself, so if you want to do something for me, just... live.
no subject
( to live is asking too much of him, and it's unfortunate, but maybe he should be more direct. )
You know this school is... different, and you understand the weak points... you can give me something to play around with, can't you?
( of course, hearing the thing about therapy makes him stop, he reaches out with his organic hand, and he touches the area of rokkun's neck. it's probably still sensitive, so he presses just a bit... )
Come with me to my locker... you don't have the money to fix that, do you? You can take this as a chance to leave me, doesn't it sound exciting?
no subject
but it's his neck that Komaeda touches, that makes him swallow at the pressure even though it hurts more when his adam's apple moves under Komaeda's fingers. ]
No...? I don't want to leave you. I would never...
no subject
color komaeda curious as he touches the sensitive area, recalls a time where the other didn't have these... nicks in his appearance. they're not meant to set him back, but he wonders what life would've been for him had komaeda not shown any sort of...
... )
You want your strength back, don't you? It must be horrible since we're suffering in purgatory already, and you can't even enjoy yourself... I'll permit you to leave me... just this once.
( only one time )
no subject
Why does this feel like I'm being kicked out onto the curb?
[ This feels like the opposite of getting stronger, actually ]
no subject
It's because you don't like to ask for help, that's why it does.
( stop being a baby, oh i'm sick. )
Give me your hands.
no subject
he does hold out his hands, though, with this uncertain look like he can't imagine what Komaeda plans to do. Hurl him off the rooftop, maybe. ]
no subject
...
he's going to hold the other's hands into his own, gently like he's trying to figure out how to go about this as well. )
Shall we dance?
( ... )
no subject
[ Is this supposed to make him stronger or is this part of being kicked out, he can't tell and he suspects this is just another topic shift and he should stop being surprised every time it happens. ]
To what music?
[ If you say 1-D he will crush every bone in Komaeda's hands is2g ]
