He woke up and gasped for air. He hugged himself while trembling hoping that would make him a little bit..just a little bit better. "Aha..aha...aha.." Kokichi shakily laughed. He just left Tokyo and he'd be lying if he said the Killing Game doesn't haunt him anymore. At this point Kokichi was terrified of sleeping. The same nightmare everytime. He sobbed and put his hands to his face. He just wanted it to stop, he thought that getting out of that disgusting place would stop his nightmares, but it didn't. It continued to haunt him even more. He couldn't understand, or rather he didn't want to understand. Perhaps it was the guilt of indirectly killing people eating him alive, he didn't know and he couldn't bear it so he left. Although he wouldn't admit it he desperately needed something.. someone to help him. He sobbed, he knew what to do but he couldn't do it. He's scared, he doesn't know what they think of him. "Surely they'd understand me, right?" Thoughts like those occasionally wandered his mind.

Eat
Sleep

Frantically, he reached out for his phone. Breathing unsteady and uncontrollably crying. With shaky hands he typed out a certain someone's number. "Please help me." He cried out. "Ouma, what's happening are you okay?" A familiar voice spoke. "I can't Nagito, I can't breath." Kokichi softly said. "Ouma, stop talking and breathe when I say so." "Ouma, breathe." Nagito ordered. He said that every 2 to 3 seconds and eventually Kokichi calms down. After a moment of silence Nagito suddenly spoke up "It's the nightmares, isn't it?" Kokichi softly replied "Yeah." Nagito furrowed his brows "Do you want me to go to where you are?" he asked. Kokichi contemplates for a few seconds before saying yes.

Nagito arrived at the door of a neutral looking house and knocked "Kokichi! It's me, Nagito." Kokichi went to the door and opened it "Come in." Nagito blinked, he really didn't expect Kokichi to look so..miserable. Nagito stepped right in and put his suitcase near the wall, "Did you eat lunch yet?" Nagito asked. Kokichi nodded and pointed at the ramen cups at the top of one of the tables. Nagito stared at the ramen and then looked at Kokichi with a "Are you fucking kidding me?" face. "When was the last time you ate something other than junk food?" Nagito asked as he walked over to the ramen cups to clean them. "..I don't remember, sorry." Kokichi timidly said. Nagito sighs "You don't have to apologize Kokichi, I'm just.. really worried about you." Kokichi looked at the floor and slowly started to cry "I know." Nagito took an apron out of his suitcase and wore it "So, what do you want to do now?" Nagito asked Kokichi while looking through the fridge and cabinets. "I don't know." Kokichi replied. "I see, do you ever plan on going back to Tokyo?" Kokichi immediately responded "No. I don't want to see them ever again." Nagito eyed Kokichi "Really? I thought you wanted to apologize to them?" Kokichi looked at him and gave him a smile "I wanted to. But I'm pretty sure they wouldn't accept my apology, I'm a psychopath." A moment of silence befell the two before Nagito spoke up, "They might forgive you Kokichi, and you aren't a psychopath. Although some things you did was extreme you just wanted what everyone does, to live." Kokichi looked at Nagito and even more tears started to come out. "Oh? Ah..sorry I don't know why I'm crying." Kokichi said as he tried to wipe of his tears, Nagito put down all of the things he was holding and walked over to Kokichi. He grabbed Kokichi and hugged him while patting his back. Kokichi wailed, he didn't know why he was suddenly crying and he didn't know if he deserved to feel that much warmth. Nagito continued to silently comfort him while Kokichi cried on his chest. Nagito looks at Kokichi "I never expected someone like you to show such a miserable smile.." he silently thought. Kokichi hugged Nagito back "There's hope for me..right? They'll forgive me..right??" Kokichi asked Nagito while loudly sobbing. Nagito smiled and hugged Kokichi tightly "Of course, they definitely will." For some odd reason Kokichi cried even harder and started to sob even more. In a life full of suffering and pain he truly would have never expected to feel this much warmth. He hugged Nagito tighter and Nagito continued to pat his back. "Hopefully one day you and the other people around you will realize that you're not a monster." Nagito thought as he continued to comfort Kokichi.
