Trust

You knew what you were doing. You were opening your heart to a person you barely knew, but he got kite-ass to back off, and he helped you through a panic attack. Might as well trust him.

"Mind telling me what happened? I promise I won't judge." He suddenly said. Time to see the world from a different perspective.

I promised Clara I wouldn't judge, and I meant it. I don't know much about her, but I already know she's awesome. She knows how to get under Maki's skin in less than three seconds, and that takes skill.

I'll help her, I'll love her, I don't care if it's just as a friend. This is one of those moments where you know right at the moment you first meet them that you love them.

"Alright so, Rantaro and I have a history I guess. He and I went to the same school and we were best friends. At one point, we had a crush on each other but never told the other. I really liked him, until he became friends with this girl. See, I got really jealous for some reason." She stopped talking. It's kinda obvious that this is hard for her to talk about.

(Poor Clara. This story isn't going to end well, is it?)

"And well, one day she got really mad at Rantaro because apparently she liked him but he was always spending time with me. This kinda got to him, and he was really sad. After that, she was always bullying him. She never missed a day of school, just to make sure that he knew how mad she was at him. One day, she broke his arm. That left me beyond pissed, and I wanted to do something about it." She stopped again.

"I uh, broke her arm and he slapped me. He apparently liked her back. He liked it when she bullied him. He never spoke to me again. I never got caught because he never told anyone, and neither did she..."

(Wow. That's heavy. I never would have thought that she'd do something like that. But then again, I better not underestimate her. She could be the most powerful and beautiful one here.)

"Well, what happened happened. And, if you were really a horrible person, you wouldn't feel bad about it. If you didn't feel bad about it, he wouldn't have been able to get to you. So, I still think you're pretty cool!" I told her.

Her expression changed from gloom to happy. She smiled a weak smile at me. I know why it's called a weak smile now. When she smiles like that, I go weak. Jesus Christ...

<Clara>
He didn't leave you. He didn't run. Does he trust you not to hurt anyone else? No, that'd be hoping for too much. Oh well, this is good enough for me, at least.

"Thank you, Kokichi! I promise, I won't let anyone here die or get hurt!"

That's a pretty tall order to fill. Only someone with superpowers or some shit can keep that from happening. Luckily, the ultimate ace can totally do this!
