    Summary

    He stood on the vacant lot. The grass smelled of dampness and iron, the sky was azure, as always — that very firmament he had seen a hundred times before. But the boy was not by the wall. He sat in the center of the field, on the ground. Small, thin, with disheveled light hair falling over his face. He wrapped his arms around his knees and stared ahead with an empty gaze. Sae stepped closer. The boy looked up. There was no smile on his face.

    "You're leaving again?" the boy asked. His voice was quiet, almost soundless.

    He reached out and touched Sae's wrist. His fingers were cold. Sae felt them on his skin, felt them tighten, as if the boy was trying to hold him back. And then he let go. And vanished.

    Sae woke up.

    Summary

    Even though they only just met, Hajime and Nagito seem to understand each other better than anybody.

    Hajime keeps finding himself drawn back to him, chasing a feeling he doesn’t quite understand and telling himself he should know better than to follow it. Yet, every time he gets close enough to finally understand what that feeling might be, Nagito is already stepping out of reach.

    But even as Nagito keeps pushing him away, Hajime isn’t the type to give up so easily.

    All of which, could mean absolutely nothing.

    Summary

    "Stuck here in the silence, too stubborn to break it even for his own sake because fuck Komaeda, all Hajime had to do to fill his time was to think back on the last year of his life and wonder what he’d done to deserve this.

    If Hajime was to trace it back, he’d say the day it all went wrong was that first party."

    Hajime Hinata hates himself, but he's pretty sure he hates Komaeda more, and that has to count for something.

    (or: the coming of age story Hajime Hinata deserves)

    Summary

    Komaeda ignores the fire hitting his skin, scrambled towards his bedside. The fire was covering almost half of the inside, only the bathroom area seems to be untouched. He quickly moves and grabs anything he could find from the bedside table and underneath the bed.

    Just a bit more. Let me save them, please.

    The fire was burning his sleeve, and he could feel himself getting breathless each second. He could feel his arms suffering the burn, but he couldn’t afford to care.

    The sting was getting more and more painful.

    The roof was on verge of collapsing. Komaeda desperately collected the stuff into his shirt and carries them out, only to be stopped by the searing heat from the exit. He swiftly tried to control his breathing, careful to not inhale the smokes.

    Just his luck, the ceiling above him made a cracking sound, before falling right above where he stands. Komaeda held in his breath, clutching his belongings close to him and shuts his eyes, preparing to feel the crash.

    “NAGITO!!”

    Summary

    "What have you even been thinking about, locked-up in there for one month straight?"

    Nagito shifted under the covers. "Do you know René Descartes?"

    “I guess.” Hajime furrowed his brows. “Cogito ergo sum.

    “Yes, cogito ergo sum.” Nagito echoed, “It’s a philosophical concept he reached by locking himself up in a room away from all distractions from society. Traditions, customs, obscurantism. His goal was to start from zero. Rebuild his whole philosophy from what he knew to be real. That’s where his first conclusion came from. I think therefore I am.”

    “So... you’re changing your philosophy, then? What’s your new take on hope and despair?”

    “I don’t know, Hinata-kun...” Nagito smothered himself with his own pillow. “So far, I’ve just been sleeping.”

    After the Neo World Program, Nagito Komaeda poses as a philosopher by drowning in guilt and painkillers and locking himself up in a room until everyone hopefully forgets about his miserable existence. Unfortunately for him, Hajime Hinata doesn't mind playing philosopher with him and clearly plans on doing something about his state.
