Nightmare and Luck

Encounter with Nightmare

As Nagito was walking back to the restaurant, he felt if someone was following him. He looked around him, only to find no one. What is going on? Why am I feeling this fear?
He shook off the feeling, "Regardless of the amount of despair, hope prevails in the end", he told himself. Nagito continued his journey and refused to think about the strange feeling for now.

Kurumi's point of view
Thank goodness for the ability to travel in the shadows. Following him now is child's play, I'm curious to see what his friends are like. Perhaps after I understand the situation, I'll reveal myself to him to question his way of thinking and ask for additional answers if necessary. So Kurumi kept following Komaeda in the darkness, anticipating answers to her questions.

Nagito's pov
After a couple minutes of walking, Nagito finally arrived at his destination. Ah at last I'm here, I wonder did my absence cause a stir in the other Ultimates? I doubt it, this is me after all. Nagito's self- deriving thoughts were shattered as a voice called out to him. "Nagito! Where have you been for the last 20 minutes?!", his classmate Hajime Hinata asked. "Oh sorry Hajime, I was taking a walk to relax", Nagito replied.
"I see, just don't go off on your own without telling anyone, your behavior at the class trials has everyone on edge", Hajime informed him. Nagito replied in agreement with the boy and apologized for troubling everyone. After he finished his chat with Hajime, he went to eat breakfast with the other students.

Kurumi's pov
So his name is Nagito? Interesting name, she thought as she watched the white-haired male get scolded by a boy with an ahoge named Hajime. It was an amusing sight to witness and as it ended she followed them to see if there were other people. As she looked in the restaurant's interior design, she could see it had a tropical look to it, bright colors,wooden floors and ceiling, open window. However, she found part of what she seeking, people.There was approximately 10 other people in the room.

There was a girl with uneven purple hair in an apron, a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes in a princess-like outfit with red heels, a tan skin girl with green eyes, chestnut hair, white shirt and red miniskirt. The other three girls were a bit underwhelming compared to the other three, but still interesting. One was a girl short blonde girl in a kimono, the second one was a pink-eyed girl with blue and pink dye in her hair while wearing a schoolgirl uniform, the last girl was a short girl with light pink hair and eyes, along with a cat-like jacket and a miniskirt.

As Kurumi looked to the male side , she saw that the males were as unique as the girls. The first half were very diverse, one boy wore a yellow jumpsuit, with a beanie, pink eyes, hair and sharp teeth. The other three were very different, one was very muscular and bulky, and the third one wore a purple scarf, black jacket, jeans, boots and a swirly hair style. The last boy had short blonde hair and an eye patch on his right eye, least of all he wore a yakuza-style outfit. My, my, these people are quite the interesting group, Kurumi thought.

After analyzing the the other students, Kurumi focused her attention on Komaeda, who was eating a bagel. Nagito, who are you truly? A man who yearns for hope or a man with something more to his story.

That's a wrap for this chapter. Next one will have Kurumi understanding her situation a bit better and possibly some interaction with her and Nagito.
