|| Open Your Eyes || (Komahina)

Denial for a larger question

Hajime stretched as he woke up, feeling the odd silence as no monokuma announcement played. In his daze he remembered everything from the past few days-the pods. He wondered how Nagito was doing, and as he had nothing else to do he made a mental note to visit after eating. Standing up he made his way over to the mirror, he didn't look that dissimilar apart from the fact that his hair was a bit longer and his skin was slightly pailer, but that's expected for staying in a pod for so long. He wondered how long exactly he was in there, deciding he would rather keep in mind in a positive spirit he made his way out the door. He looked around while walking his eyes locking on to the pods, it seemed someone was squat next to one of the pods, deciding it was none of he business he keep walking until he felt with the others and began to eat. Fuyuhiko came in late with his cheeks more puffy than usual. Not really noticing Hajime began thinking to himself. Poking at a potato he wondered how Nagito was doing, as well of course as the others. Makoto did say it might take a month but Hajime found himself being quite impatient.
"I wonder when the others will wake up" Hajime blurted out still in a daze, unable to discern the the line between thought and words. Everyone look at him for a second but all agreed.
"I hope Nekomaru will come out soon I really wanna train!"
Everyone let out a chuckle at Akane's words when Mikan started to speak.
"I-I wonder when Ibuki is going to wake up" Mikan nervously mumbled seeming to be in a haze of her own. Everyone seemed to be more concerned at this question considering the events of the killing game. Soon conversation broke out as people caught up and had hopefull dreams of people waking up.
Hajime still sat poking the potato alone on a table, mumbling to himself about the pods. He was quite unsure as to why this was such a subject for his head as this whole fiasco didn't bother him that much.
"Good morning Hajime!" A familiar friendly voice forced him to look up from his plate.
"It seems everyone has someone they would wish to wake up, who do you wish to wake up?" Hajime shrugged and looked back up at Sonia, a pitifull smile on her face as she noticed Hajime was a bit out of it. "Who do you want to wake up?" Hajime quickly filled the silence. A slight blush invaded Sonias cheeks as she stuttered into a sentence " Gundham was a good aqautence, but you can not deflect this back on me!" Her words strengthened. "Now who do you wish to wake up!" Without thinking Hajime answered "Nagito I guess"
Sonia seemed very puzzled at this answer as they seemed to be arguing quite a lot in trials. "Do you-" Sonia was cut off as a familiar alarm rang through the building. Everyone rushed down with Mikan and Kazuichi leading the group, as they could help more. Gass released once again and the figure sat up, rubbing their head.
"NEKOMARU!!!" Akane screamed as she pushed her way past Mikan to meet him. Hajime couldn't help but frown as he learned who woke up, Sonia seemed to notice. "You alright Hajime?" Sonia asked tilting her head. "Just not who I expected"
This was quite odd through Sonia's eyes as Hajime seemed to often be quite indifferent and to think about someone this much, that much some who he seemed to hate made her even more puzzled. Mikan and Akane stayed behind piecing together the story for Nekomaru, while everyone walked out the doorway. Sonia made her way over to Hajime who was walking back to his cabin. Suddenly Hajime remembered something, he was gonna visit the pods. He span around on his heals and gave himself a shock as he stood face to face with Sonia. She seemed to have gotten quite the shock aswell. Remembering her adjective she started to speak.
"Hajime may I ask you about something" tilting her head once again. Hajime seemed to grumble as he looked at the pods and then back at Sonia. "Sure what is it" Sonia seemed startled by his bluntness but continued.
"You seemed worried about Nagito, are you alright, would you like to pay him a visit?" "I was already going to go, but sure" Hajime admitted. The two walked over to the pods and entered, not really sure was to do. Sonia sat near gundhams capsule and Hajime near Nagito's, which was on the other side of the room. Breaking the silence Sonia spoke up "I do miss Gundham I hope he wakes up soon" the room falling back into silence it almost insisted Hajime to say something. "Yeah I hope everyone's fine in the pods" these words felt so awkward and forced from Hajime but he had to say something. Without thinking Hajime put a hand on Nagito's pod. Sonia seemed content with the answer and waved goodbye as she left. Time has apparently passing very quickly and the sun was starting to set outside.

Guilt started to pull at Fuyuhiko's heart, he had decided that he would visit Peko's capsule, maybe to apologise? He wasn't really sure. The sun was already setting as he made his way over to the pods, but he noticed someone talking.
"You were really annoying during those trials-"
What someone in there? He decided to listen a bit longer.
"I'd get one thing wrong and you would suddenly correct me 'Hajime that's wrong' you'd give some vague clue, I really had trouble with those"
Hajime? What was he doing down here? And more importantly, who was he talking to? Fuyuhiko peeked in seeing Hajime with a hand to a pod. Squinting he could make out some words.
Nagito komeada
Nagito? Why was he? Fuyuhiko quickly turned around to make sure Hajime didn't see him. As he got up to leave suddenly his own problems were outweid by questions.
Why was Hajime suddenly all buddy buddy with nagito?
