3rd Person POV

     "Let's all have a little chat..." Everyone in the room seemed absolutely petrified of what was to come, other than Nagisa and Karma. The other eleven that were sitting on Karma's large couch stared, filled with anxiety.
    "Hey Nagisa?" Karma stared,  though Nagisa's gaze didn't falter from the floor, the red head knew he was listening. "Can you tell us each name in order of where they're sitting on my couch from left to right, without looking up at them?"
     And he did it. "Kayano, Teraseka, Isogai, Asano, Kanzaki, Okuda, Takebayashi, Suguya, Yoshida, Takuya, Hazama,"  the eleven named sat awestruck,  impressed at Nagisa's memory.  But Karma, oh Karma, he felt quite the opposite.  He was disappointed,  not in Nagisa,  but himself,  the other eleven, and Ms. Shiota.
     The bluenette spent so much time worrying about what he'd done wrong,  that he can now ramble off every single name,  place,  date, and time of when they saw him.  It pains the redhead to see that his former best friend had suffered so much.
     Pulling him from his thoughts, Isogai's voice pulled the redhead back to reality,  full of curiosity and fear. "Wh-What did him doing that have to do with anything?" Karma scoffed. "Do you see how much he's beaten himself up over this because you  didn't handle the issue like you should've.  You all could've done it a lot differently."
     Most people's faces were contorted with confusion,  all other than Isogai, Asano, and Kayano, who's faces were covered in guilt.  It was obvious they remembered seeing Nagisa,  and now that they were caught,  felt realty bad.
     "So," Karma stood, a fiery glare in his golden eyes. "Why didn't you help him?  Why didn't you help your friend in need!? Huh!? Wh-" He stopped when he felt a hand on his shoulder,  which surprisingly was from Nagisa,  though he kept his eyes on the ground.
     Karma took a deep breath as he waited for an answer.  The people sitting in his house looked each other in the eyes as Takebayashi took a deep breath.
     "It was.... the blue haired lady..." he said,  the other nodding or humming in agreement. Nagisa looked up for the first time, gaping as Karma did the same.
     Yoshida joined in with, "Yeah, she threatened to slit my throat..." And the others talked amongst themselves about what Ms. Shiota had threatened to do to them as the bluenette and redhead stood speechless.
    The same tight raced through their heads.
     She's always there.  Anyways watching.
