Nene and I catch up with the group but...weirdly,Nagito wasnt apart of it.No one seemed worried,but before I could ask,Nene did.

"Hey.Where'd Nagito go?"

She queries.

"Oh.He told us he suddenly had a headache and went back home.Hiyoko wanted to go with him but insisted that he was fine."

Chiaki explains,hand in hand with Sonia.

"He's such a jerk!!I just want to care for hiiiimm!"

Hiyoko whines.

"I...see..."

I mumble.
He must be really upset.
I didnt mean to hurt him,I was just getting abit annoyed and...I snapped.

"Are you alright,Hajime?You seem pretty down."

Mahiru turns to me,alittle concerned.
I take a deep breath,maybe I should give Nagito some space and let him take a breather at home without me there.

"Im fine,Mahiru.Thanks for worrying."

I smile.
Mahiru blushes heavily,lowering her head.As the group continued to walk,I kept quiet.My mind was racing as I thought of the future interactions Nagito and I would have.He seemed really hurt.

My throat felt abit sore and tightened,like...I wanted to cry.I get I was in the wrong...but so was he??So why did I feel...so horrible?That fight was all I could focus on.

As we continued down the path to Hiyoko's house,the girls chatting away,I began...to feel...increasingly worse and worse,to the point where my eyes began to water.I was alittle offset but not that upset...so why do I feel like crying?

I then remembered...Nagito and I are Connected,meaning,he must be feeling such a strong sadness...that im feeling it too.He must be really deeply hurt if im feeling it...because this has never happened before.

"Hajime,it cant be upsetting you that much."

Nene notices the tears shimmering in my eyes.

"I-I dont know.I feel...overwhelmed."

I sniffle.
Nagito was hurt way worse than I expected.If we werent Connected,I wouldnt be able to feel his sadness to this level.Even if I sensed his aura,or even if his aura was so strong I was affected by it,honestly,it wouldnt get this deep.

"You'll be okay.I know Agito,he'll forgive you after a kiss or two and then you guys'll talk it out.Chill out."

Nene punches me gently in the shoulder,a confident smirk on her face.
I understood that,and I wanted to go do just that but...I knew I had to give Nagito some room.I was still alittle salty and telling by our Connection,Nagito was really salty too.

I take a deep breath.Even though I could still feel what Nagito was feeling,I tried to ignore it for now and deal with it later.These are times I really wished I wasnt a DH.

Before long,we made it to Hiyoko's house and went inside.It was pretty big.I instantly felt comfortable for some reason.It was way bigger than our house.

"Home sweet hoooome~!"

Hiyoko chirps.

"Im tired.Hey Hiyoko,can I sleep in your room?"

Chiaki queries,unable to keep her eyes open.

"Fine.But drool on my pillow and your dead!!"

She replies,adding her normal threats.
Chiaki yawns as she heads towards the staircase,pulling Sonia along with her,seemingly heading to Hiyoko's bedroom upstairs.Sonia didnt seem to mind.
