"Well don't leave me hangin' Nagisa, tell me more." Even though the level-headed assassin trusted his red-haired friend, that smirk still never ceased to let Nagisa know how scary he could be. Karma was good when he needed to be and he was smart too, he cared for people in a way that made you have to look deeper into his actions and words. 

Karma was the type to do troubling things just to make someone else content or even satisfied and his actions were violent though they held a deeper meaning- he wouldn't do something that didn't benefit him but it was different when it came to people he cared about. That is what frighten Nagisa, he saw (Y/N) in Karma so much that it scared him. One of them was already hard to deal with but with two, both having the same personalities and mannerisms- that was surely going to be a tough duo to handle and keep in line.

Nagisa wasn't sure how Koro-sensei was feeling or what he was thinking. The alien-looking teacher always held that yellow face with those beady eyes and a widespread grin but his actions and his words always showed a little bit of sadness. Nagisa, along with his classmates knew he felt at fault for what had happened to his student and they knew it hit him hard after those several declarations of having no harm come to his dear pupils.

He only wished to guide and teach, to protect the class he chose to teach but it was all to sudden and his words had flipped and he was held accountable.

Nagisa felt troubled as he didn't know what to say to Karma but he supposed that you would've loved it if he had protected and improved your reputation. 

"(Y/N).. Well maybe I should save the good stuff for her to tell but she was nuts. Like how this time when..."

Koro had snuck into your hospital room and caught sight of your placid body that only moved as you had been steadily inhaling and exhaling. He felt his mood turn sour when your pale face came into view as your wild and unbrushed tresses were spread across the pillow under your head.

He quietly grabbed a chair and felt relief in the monotone beeping coming from the monitor beside your bed. The entire room was white, dimly lit for the afternoon was turning to night despite the colourful flowers and banners hanging from her bed head all signed by his students and he sat with a sigh, watching your face and hoping so badly to see any sign of movement- something that would make his classroom better again.

Koro wasn't sure why, but he had felt obligated to clean (Y/N) as her hair was a complete mess, so bad that it was actually bugging him. He would whine quietly to himself and look at her face then at the different selection of bright flowers ranging from Freesia's, Heather's, Hyacinth's, an Iris and a couple of mixed Zinnia's. He had been admiring the flowers and unknowingly reaching out for your hair before realising what he was doing and retracting immediately as his arm was acting without thinking.

--

"Ew, don't touch me."

Koro squeaked, he was disheartened to hear one of his pupils look at him in disgust, cringing as she cowered her arm away from him when she had passed him her half-completed work.

Student's still completing their English tests looked back at the sound of (Y/N)'s voice, shocked at the words that had spilled from her mouth. Koro kept his tentacles to himself and retreated when (Y/N) spoke up again, "Your tentacles are disgusting."

Rio felt a chill at the sight of her best friends dead eyes. Her voice was completely monotone and robotic. With her arms crossed over her chest, she had been leaning back in her chair with a pen rested on her ear, "I'll get real mad if you let those abominable things touch me- I swear it."

With her head tilted to the side slightly, Nagisa couldn't help but hold his breath. He wasn't aware as of how, but the temperature within the classroom felt as if it had dropped about ten degrees. It was nerve-racking as he felt as if he would be the next target if he made a single move.

The teacher was still as he placed the test on his desk and watched (Y/N); conflicted as he wanted to question (Y/N) but he also didn't want to interrupt the class. There was only a little while until class would be over and then it would be recess, no one was sure about why (Y/N) had been so hostile, if was if she had become a socio-path within the span of a few hours from the first bell till now. It was only then that Rio realised that there was more to (Y/N)'s deranged personality than she had originally thought.

--

Koro couldn't help but curse to himself when thinking about that day, he knew something was wrong but he couldn't find the courage to break through that estranged shell of yours and talk to you- teacher to student. He was a little afraid actually because of how little empathy you seemed to hold the more he had gotten to know you. It wasn't normal because it sort of reminded him of himself back when he was in the slums fighting for himself before being captured.

It was almost like a dark cloud was hanging over your head. Your eyes were so dull and shaking so fast and he didn't particularly like the way you had isolated yourself to him. It made him nervous as if he had been turned into the prey.

Despite being the teacher that made a compromise with the Japanese government to teach E-class for a year so he wouldn't destroy the Earth so soon, he felt as you were the one in control now.

That day he remembers the way you had been staring him down without talking to anyone, and when you did- you had almost started four fights. Your classmates were very quiet that day as they didn't know what was going on.

-- 

Towards the end of school, Koro felt obligated to mentally list the aspects about you that were worrying him. During schooling hours, he had noticed how isolated you were and how you had tripped students likes Maehara and Takebayashi when they had been walking by you. The loud shrill of laughter that erupted from your mouth made sighs of relief leave some students mouths before your face turned back to emotionless after three seconds.

The impulsiveness of your actions was worrying but Koro-sensei felt himself begin to think he was worrying over nothing when you had been asking Manami for spare anti-koro bb's and then asking Sugaya for more, circulating throughout the whole class so no one was left out. The look in your eyes was as terrifying as ever but it was the only way the teacher could attempt to reassure himself that despite being well-known for a troublemaker, everything was what you would call fine.

That day, your locker was full of anti-koro bb's and no one knew you had hidden a hammer in your bag. It wasn't to be used in a violent way to hurt someone but instead it was to crush the small pink balls that were used to injure your teacher. With the prize money still fresh in your mind, it was hard to do anything else.

Covering your entire body in the powder was the second step to your plan because the first was making sure Koro knew how truly and utterly disgusted you were by his tentacles. 

"You're such a freak with those tentacles, Koro. How revolting."

Everything was going according to plan.
