A blinding light filled Hajime's view. Struggling to adjust to the harsh light he shielded his head with his hand and closed his eyes, or at least tryed to.
"Hajime"
Hajime feared opening his eyes and almost like a child asking for 5 more minutes he stayed almost still, shuffling to try and cover more of his face.
"Hajime I know your awake, get up already"
Wanting to avoid further confrontation, Hajime opened his eyes squinting immediately at the light. Seeing a seemingly friendly hand in front of him he pulled himself up. After standing up he readjusted himself, things seeming more coherent he unsquinted and looked at the person in front of him. Fuyuhiko was standing there with his arms crossed, after noticing that Hajime seemed more awake he nodded and faced to 3 figures standing in the doorway. The three all wore matching suits and matched in outfits, though not in appearance. The woman who stood at the left side of the doorway had a small smile and an aura of calm confidence, to the far right a taller man stood starring daggers into Hajime, much like the woman he had an aura of confidence but it seemed more aggrivated. Hajimes eyes made his way to the centre of the doorway where an average looking person stood, he seemed to be happy? Having the same confidence as the others but in a more clumsy sense, this could be seen with him nearly tripping over his own shoelaces. Hajime suddenly started remebering everything as it clicked into place, he defeated junko then? He looked behind himself to see many pods that formed a circular shape. As he inspected it closer he noticed some of his classmates in the pods. A face of despair started to form and he couldn't help but let out a hush
"What?"
The person in the middle started to speak, his stance seemed to straighten as he spoke. Just as Hajime remembered everything he started talking.
"Thank you all for trusting us" Makoto started
"I understand if you are stressed at the moment" her calm voice spoke "But for the moment you will all have to stay on this island"
The man on the right started to speak "we have set up places to eat sleep and exercise, much like the program"
Hajime took another glance at the pods, not so obviously.
"Ah yes, you must be wondering about the pods" the woman stated clearly seeing the confusion on Hajime's face. "They are alive, thankfully" Makoto cut her off and continued "But, they will be in a sort of a sleep like state until they wake up"
Hajime's eyes turned to sonia as she looked like she wanted to ask a question.
"May I ask how long it will take for them to wake up" she happily asked, she seemed to recover quicker than Hajime did who was still in a slight haze.
"We are not exactly sure at the moment but anywhere from 1 day to about a month"
Everyone seemed gratified by the answer
"We have some business to attend to so good luck to you all!!"
The three figures made their way out the door, leaving everyone standing in the room confused.
"So everyone's gonna come back?" Akane bluntly asked.
"It's seems so" Sonia quietly answered, it seemed those two were the only ones with courage to speak.
"Should we get some food?" Fuyuhiko finally asked, breaking the long pause. Everyone nodded in agreement and made their way out the door. The figures really were right, everything was the same such as the cabins and their usual meet up spot. Everyone made their way up the stairs noting how eereeingly similar it was. After eating everyone went their separate ways, whether to explore the island or their cabins. Hajime decided to walk back over to the pods, still having a lot of unanswered questions. He walked through the doorway and started inspecting the pods, his attention first going to Chiaki's. Much to his dismay Chiaki's was empty. He starred for a moment then started moving around the circle. Maybe this wasn't the best idea as all the memories started flooding back. Despite his own comfort he found it quite hard to not be upset. Trying to distract himself he kept walking around the circle stopping at one
Nagito komeada
Hajime looked at it for a moment before slumping to the floor. Pulling his legs up and putting his hands in his hair, recalling past events out loud. " you made those trials so annoying" he let out a small chuckle, changing his tone as he continued "But I hope your alright in there"
Spooking him out of his thoughtfull daze an alarm started to blare, Hajime caught up in anxiousness stood up and wondered if what he had said had done anything. Frantically running out he saw everyone running towards the area, some closer than others.
"WHATS GOING ON HERE??" Fuyuhiko exclaimed shooting a stare at Hajime.
"I-I WAS JUST SITTING HERE AND IT STARTED BLARING" Hajime frantically explained.
Fuyuhiko started frantically pressing buttons as a couple of the others made their way in.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING, IM THE MECHANIC HERE!" Kazuichi burst through the hallway but before he could do anything everyones attention turned to one on the pods.
Gas escaped the pod as the person inside it sat up.
"W-what?" Everyone gathered around the pod so hajime could hardly see, but his question was answered quite quickly.
"Mikan?" Sonia blurted out.
"W-whats going on h-here" everyone quickly backed away seeing the distress on her face.
Sonia decided to explain everything with Kazuichi chipping in every now and again.
"I-I see" mikan mumbled as she looked at Ibuki's pod almost expecting it to open at her stare. Sonia helped her up and since it was quite late decided to guide her back to the cottages, much to Kazuichi's dismay. Hajime couldn't help but think.
When will everyone wake up?
