Nagisa had been bidding Sugino a farewell at the train station when those two had came. The two student's that Nagisa used to associate himself with back before he was sent to class 3-E. Their friendship had turned to nothing after the blue-haired boy was sent to the mountain and the two boys loved to show how much more superior they were compared to the 'losers' of the End Class.

"Are you serious? Is that actually Nagisa? Look at him gettin' all cosy with the dumb asses of the end class."

The other one that was taller with glasses also cut in, "Got to hand it to him, he's adapted well with the people he's gonna spend the rest of his life with."

Nagisa couldn't help but listen, his face darkened when hearing the things his previous peers said. He couldn't help it nor do anything about it though. And unfortunately for him, (Y/N) wasn't around to help him out.

"Did you hear the news? Now that his suspensions over, that Akabane nut is over at the end class too!"

They spoke out loud without any hesitation when they continued to insult Nagisa and his friends. It wasn't right and if anything, it seemed more correct if those two were in 3-E rather than Nagisa by the way they spoke so rudely, "Ew dude not kidding? I'd rather be dead than stuck in that classroom with that freak!"

Their voices were louder and Nagisa just wanted to peacefully leave the area to visit the local hospital. He wanted to see your face, oh how he so badly just wanted you to wake up.

Glass shattered behind Nagisa and he jumped, turning around to see glass littering the floor around Karma Akabane as he miraculously made his appearance at the perfect time, "Seriously?" Karma smiled as he waved the half-broken bottle towards the other third years, "I can help you out with that- It'd be messy, but real quick."

The third years were shaking now and Nagisa could almost see your shadow hovering over Karma. He was grateful but also frightened but this behaviour was basically Karma summed up in a nut shell. The third years backed away and stuttered an apology before running off, Karma watched them run as the bottle in his hand was now limp by his side. 

Nagisa approached Karma to catch a wild look in his orange eyes, the red-haired teen threw the bottle backwards carelessly and walked towards his smaller friend with a smirk, "As if I'd actually try anything- I'm not gonna risk getting another suspension with the opportunity I've got in E-Class."

Nagisa could still see your form over Karma, it was his imagination- possibly a hallucination but it was there, perhaps he just missed you. You were smiling, he could see it as Karma smiled down at him. He was scared but couldn't deny how similar they were and how freakishly perfect they would be together.

"Yeah, hey Nagisa- you mind if I pick your brain a little?"

The two walked through the ticket gates to get to the trains and Karma spoke as he walked in front of Nagisa, waiting as he asked questions to learn more about their target, "Word is, you've got a notebook on the octopus- is that true?"

Nagisa looked around as he stuttered an answer, "Uh yeah, I do actually."

"That's cool, but does he mind that we call him that? Octopus I mean."

Karma smirked when he asked his questions and Nagisa only answered truthfully as he watched the back of Karma's head when they waited for the train to arrive. "I don't think so, I mean whenever he marks our work he always draws himself as an octopus, he also buries himself under the sand at E- Class and calls it an 'octopus trap'..."

Karma looked at him in a side glance and Nagisa stared before continuing quickly, "I- I mean I'm pretty sure an octopus is like his avatar or something- If anything I'd say he loves it."
