some people are the sort where hurting others hurts them as well. especially if they didn't mean to do so.

( hinata forgot nene, and it hurt her. her hurt hurt him as well. it was an echo chamber of pain, some caused by guilt, some by loss and they couldn't get out properly. a smothering of love and misery that they only just broke free of.

sometimes thats just how family is, unfortunately. )

Oh, then I have a lot to learn.

( people's pain doesn't resonate with komaeda well, he's more of someone who keeps a smile when others are hurt, but as long as they haven't given up on hope, he's happier. that's why his eyes stare at nene as if trying to figure out why does it hurt when he's still alive, and he guesses that comes from emotional attachments. )

All you can do is be grateful Saihara-kun saved him... if not, we would have lost him.

( he sighs, but that's neither here nor there. ) Talking about lost, Hanako-kun? Will you thank him for me, he was our guide to fixing Ito-kun.

( who hates him. )

( nene stiffens- if it's the mention of shuichi-kun, or hanako-kun, it's hard to tell. both are painful- she misses them dearly, so dearly. ... one more than the other, but these things pile up. she knows that better than most by now, she thinks. or maybe she's just the weakest one to learn. )

hanako-kun isn't here anymore. he wanted to try investigating this place from another direction, so he asked me to reverse the ritual that summoned him.

( she hasn't admitted it to anyone else, yet. )

He did what...?

( a ritual? ... for what purpose? komaeda looks at the other, and he crosses his arms on the table as he stares her way. )

...He didn't do much or care about others, so... it had to be about you, but why did he ask for that specifically? Mmm... Yashiro-san?

( it comes out more, "are you okay...?" )

i was the only one who could have done it, since i was the one who summoned him. he wanted to see if he could find another way in and out, but he couldn't do that properly here.

( simple as that. at least she got to say goodbye for once. at least she got to say she loved him. not everyone is so lucky, and not everyone gets those chances. especially here. nene looks at her lap for a moment, before smiling up at komaeda. maybe it's a little bittersweet, but... she got her final piece. )

i'll be okay. i miss him, but i have faith in him too.
