"Nagisa!" I exclaim with surprise. "I was just walking." I answer his question. "You?"

"I'm not even sure anymore. I just felt like getting away." He tries to explain.

"I understand." I say giving him a comforting look as he sits down on the swing next to me.

He pulls out a bag of candy from his hoodie pocket and stretches his arm in my direction as if suggesting me to take one.

I take one and put it in my mouth.
"I think it's a way of trying to get control of our own lives, when we just run away like this." I say.

"I never thought of it that way, but I think you might be right." He said now stuffing his mouth.

We had a small moment of comfortable silence.

"I really feel like parents aren't doing what they mean to to their child when they control us like that."

"Yah, I know they just want to protect us and stuff like that but they're only pushing us away and turning us into some kind of amazing liars and making us good at manipulating in order to get out of certain situations."

"That's pretty cool though. Like we have some super abilities." I laugh. "We just always know how to make something go our way."

"True." He agrees, laughing as well.

After we play around a bit we end up by just laying on the floor of the park, looking at the starry night sky.

"So, Y/n, do you mind helping me figure something out?"

"No, not at all, it would be my pleasure."

"Well, you remember Kayano and Nakamura, right?"

"Yah" I say, as if telling him to go on.

"I'm pretty sure they both like me and I'm a little lost." He confesses.

"I mean, do you like any of them?" I ask.

"I'm not sure." He says shyly.

"Now's not the time to act all shy and hide your feelings and secrets. Just spit it out."

"I just told you, I don't know." He tells me.

"You said you weren't sure, not that you didn't know. This is a safe space, you know that. Just us, at 3 am, in an empty kid's park. What we share here, will stay here." I try gaining his trust.

"Fine, fine." He gives in at last. "I may kinda, maybe, have a small crush on Kayano. But I really don't want to hurt Nakamura, because I like her a lot too."

"Just not as much." I complete.

"Just not as much." He repeats, assuring me I was right.

"I think you shouldn't ruin a big relationship opportunity because you are scared of hurting someone. If you and Kayano do like each other, just go for it. Because if you don't you'll hurt yourself, Nakamura and Kayano. I know you might feel bad about Nakamura and you may feel like you'll be leaving her behind or something like that when in reality you're just in her way at the moment."

He looks at me questingly.

"If you don't reject her or if you just let things be the way they are now, you are stopping her from getting over you and therefore, stopping her from moving on and even getting into a different and better relationship."

"I have never thought of it that way. Thank you so much, Y/n. I think I will try to come through with my feelings for Kayano. It's the best for everyone."

"You're welcome, just know you can always count on me, I'll be there for you." I let him know.

"Same for you, don't ever hesitate to ask for my help."

I smile at him and he returns my smile.

"It's getting kinda late, I should probably get going, especially because I stole Karma's house keys." I finally say.

"Wait, you're staying the night with Karma?" He asks with a shocked expression as I'm getting up.

I just smirk and start making my way to Karma's house, leaving Nagisa sitting on the park floor confused but secretly proud that his best friend (is getting some pussy) is softening for a person.
