I was sitting at the beach, when Chiaki came up to me. "Mind if I join you?" She asked, I nodded and she sat down. "I could tell something is bothering you. Is everything okay?" She asked me, like a worried mother.

"...I'm fine. You don't need to worry." I gave her a fake smile, to make it seem like I was fine. "Hajime, please tell me.." Her eyes pleaded. I sighed, and buried my head in my knees and arms. "I-I'm sorry, Chiaki.."

"I can't."

"......I see. Well, I'm not gonna pressure you. Tell me when you're ready, 'kay?" She places her hand on my shoulder, I nodded my head. "...Why are you up so early anyway, Chiaki?" I ask her trying to start up a different conversation. "Couldn't... *Yawn* Sleep well. I could ask you the same thing." She responded. "Certain thoughts kept me up." I answered.

"Were.... They about Nagito...?" Chiaki asked, sounding slight nervous. ".....Kinda? But not in that way anymore. I'm trying to get over him." I say. "Hm, I see." She suddenly got up, and dusted the sand off of her skirt. "I'm going to the restaurant now, wanna walk together?" She stands up.

"Sure, I am feeling kinda hungry right now." I said, and the light breeze started to blow. Then I remembered.... The scar. I quickly turned my head away, covering my forehead with one of my hands. "Hajime?" Chiaki muttered. "I-I'll be a little longer.. Go ahead without me. I won't be long." I said, not daring to look once at her.

"Oh, okay.." Chiaki mumbled, she is definitely going to ask me about this later. And she walked off. Shit! Shit...! What do I do!?

I hear rapid knocking at my cottage door. Who on earth can that be? I open it, and see Hajime covering his forehead with his hand. "Ah, Hinata-" "Shut up!" He pushed me in and shut the door. "Do you have any make up? Or something like that?" He asked, instantly. "I think I do, yeah." I say, looking back into my dorm and nodding my head. "Can I have some?" "Hold on, why do you need it?" I asked him, he sighed, and removed his hand from his forehead pushing back his hair. Revealing a scar from the Kamukura experiments. 

"Oh, fuck. Yeah, you definitely need to cover that." I told him, going over to my nightstand and pull out some makeup from the drawer. And shoving it all in his hands. "Here. It might not really match your skin, but you can go over to the store and get some that matches your skin. This is just so you don't look weird covering your forehead." I said, crossing my arms. "Okay, thanks." He exits out of my cottage. When Izuru comes out of the bathroom combing his long hair.

"I'm hungry, let's go get breakfast." Izuru tells me.

"Alright..." I nodded, putting on my jacket, and heading out. Izuru can just teleport to me.

I went back to my cottage and applied the makeup. How did this happen..? Could it be Monokuma's motive? No, it couldn't be... It's been so long ever since that happened, and it's only suppose to effect one person, right? So, why is this scar here? I am slowly turning into Izuru...? No, no, no... No.. That can't be possible, right?

I was so lost in my own thoughts, I didn't even realized I was walking to the restaurant. Guess I can't go back now, can I? I sighed, and walked in... I sat further away from everyone than I usually do. Chiaki noticed me and sat with me. "Hi, Hajime. You took a while. Everything okay?" She asked. "Huh? Uh, yeah I'm fine. Sand just got everywhere, and I.... Yeah." Wow, that was the best excuse I got?

"Oh, I see. That's fine. You're here now, so it doesn't matter." Chaiki said, taking a bite of her food. "....Chaiki, can I talk to you after this?" I asked. "Mhm, of course. Why? What's up?" She replied, concerned. I looked around at everyone... "We probably shouldn't talk about it here... We could talk about it in your cottage." I answered. "Oh, alright." She mumbled.

*Time Skip: After breakfast*

Chiaki and I went back to my cottage, I sat down on my bed, sighing while she stood in front of me. "...Hajime, will you please tell me what's up with you? I'm worried for you... If something is going on, I want to help you." She said, with determination on her face. "yes, I'll tell you, Chiaki. I just need a moment to get everything I want to say in order..." I sighed, as I flopped my back down on the bed.

I took a minute to get everything together before getting up again. "Okay... I'll tell you everything." I said to her, with a serious expression on my face. Chiaki's eyes widened only for a moment before nodding. "...I'm listening." I explained everything to her, about how Nagito is an ultimate despair, how Izuru is in here, how this world is a virtual world.... I even showed her the scar on my forehead to prove it.

After everything, Chiaki stood there understanding everything, she wasn't surprised or shocked by what I said at all. "...I know all that, Hajime." Chiaki said calmly. "At least you un- wait... What? You know?" I said turning to her confused. "...yes... I knew that all from the start..." Chiaki said. "...You knew...? How...?" I asked her, confused. 

"Remember what Monokuma said about the traitor...? Well, can you take a guess at who it could be..?" Chiaki said a soft smile, while holding a hand to her chest. My eyes widened in shock, and I suddenly stood up from the bed. "It... It's you!? You're the traitor!?" I exclaimed. Chiaki nodded. "Yes... But I couldn't say anything about it... I hope you aren't mad..." Chiaki replied, with a sad smile on her face. 

"...I-I'm not mad... I'm just in shock..." I said, with my hand covering my mouth. "...Does Nagito know about this?" Chiaki nodded. "Ever since he turned ultimate despair." She sighed. "W-Why wouldn't he say anything!?" I exclaimed. "...Maybe because he knows something way worse..." Chiaki answered, while looking at me with a serious expression. "Way worse? What do you mean?" I asked her, sounding confused. "I can't answer what it means..." Chiaki said while looking down at the ground. 

"...Well, let's just go to Nagito and find out!" I said, as I grabbed her wrist as we went over to Nagito's cottage. "Nagito! Nagito! Open the door!" I yelled, while knocking on the door. Chiaki looked at me nervously, before sighing.

I perked up hearing Hajime's voice. "...He's with Chiaki as well." Izuru hummed, while standing close to me. "Shall I let them in?" I asked, as I turned to Izuru who nodded. "...Go ahead." I got up, then opened the door letting Hajime and Chiaki in. "How may I help you two?" I said with a small bow. 

"What do you know about Chiaki?" Hajime asked as he shut the door. "What do I... Well, I know a lot of things about Chiaki, but I don't think you wanna hear them." I said, stood by Izuru. "Nagito, you can tell him. You have my permission too." Chiaki told me, sounding serious. "Oh, I know I have your permission, Chiaki. You wouldn't be here if I didn't, I'm just not sure if Hajime can handle it." I replied, as I stared into Hajime's eyes. I noticed how his expression gets a little nervous.

"...C-Can't handle it..? I found out that I'm an ultimate despair, and I turned into this guy in the future, I think I handled that pretty well, so how can I not handle this?" Hajime said, as he crossed his arms. "Maybe it's because it's about someone you know, and care deeply about..." I said, with a calm smile. "...I can handle it, Nagito." Hajime said nodding. I turned to Izuru, who nodded.

Then turned back to Hajime. "If you insist..." I mumbled.
