Objection is worse than cancer to a heart

The two sat there in utter silence a painfully familiar alarm started to blare saving them from the situation. The two both shot up and frantically looked for other people, being very similar to the first time the alarm went off but at least they knew what to do now. People started arriving with Mikan pushing her way ahead. It seems Kazuichi's use was not needed anymore, so only Mikan's medical knowledge was used. Two pods began to gas up and the figures sat up, noticing that it was on the other side of the room Hajime didn't bother. Screams alerted his attention though as Hyoko was tugging on Mikan's hair
"You stanky bitch, how dare you kill me!!"
"I-im sorry"
Mikan seemed to be torn between worlds at the moment as while she was be tugged on she looked back at the other figure who was Ibuki and smiled, then went back to her screaming.
While everything was being explained Hajime took the chance and left towards his cottage.
Something took his notice and he turned around, seemingly everyone had left apart from Mikan and Ibuki. He listened in.
"Heyy silly Ibuki loves you too!!"
"W-wait how d-did you"
"Heard it while I was asleep- I have good hearing yah know!!! I heard everything!!!" Ibuki looked around and made direct eye contact with Hajime and with a genuine smile she winked. He stopped listening and turned around. Hopping on to his bed he couldn't help but think, he wanted to sleep but he really couldn't. Could Nagito hear him? What would he think? Eventually it all became to much and he fell asleep of exhaustion.
The next morning came by too quickly. And so did the next, and so did the next.
Hajime still grasped on to the smallest bit of hope, even a tiny bit would get him through the day. Peko and Gundham had woken up, Fuyuhiko and Sonia were very happy. Seeing them happy made him smile, maybe he would be happy again soon. He usually sat alone on the table but it had seemed Hyoko sat across from him. She was waiting aswell, for he could only assume was Mahiru. Hyoko didn't have her usual mood about her, she was far more quiet. It made Hajime realise what he looked like to the others, deppressed.
An alarm blared through the building, ringing through Hajime's ears. He didn't bother get up and kept poking at his food, Hyoko however ran off an excited look on her face. Walking out of the building as expected it wasn't Nagito, at least hyoko got reuinited with Mahiru. Though he do like to see his friends happy he just wish someone was waiting with him.
After eating he made his way over to the pods, sitting down in the same position as always.
"Hey"
"....."
"If you can hear me sorry for the ranting haha. Maybe i should be more positive"
And with that he left.
The next morning was the same as always, Hajime got up and slapped himself awake. Looking at the mirror he didn't really care as he had gotten used to himself. Remembering what he had said yesterday, almost like a pledge he decided to be more positive. Hajime made his way over, making sure to advert his eyes from the pods. Grabbing his food he decided to sit on a more populated table, since more people had woken up the group's seemed to span over 2 tables instead of one. Hajime picked one and sat down, noticing the shocked faces trying to hide themselves.
"Morning" he said trying to calm the atmosphere
"Hey dude you finnally out of your slump?!" Kazuichi blurted out, Fuyuhiko elbowed him.
"It is very nice to see you again Hajime" Sonia smiled, Gundham seemed to agree and nodded.
"Yeah dude how yah been" Fuyuhiko asked jokingly punching his shoulder.
"I'm going alright, just waiting" Hajime let out a soft smile.
"Waiting?" Kazuichi asked obviously confused.
"Been a month, still waiting" Hajime explained as he ate.
"Who? Everyone's exited the pods" Kazuichi questioned once again.
Shooting daggers into his eyes, Hajime continued. "Take a look around, who's missing" Hajime's brashness seemed to be returning. But as Kazuichi looked around he only became more confused, taking a confused look at Hajime every now and again.
"Nagito, am I correct?" Peko spoke up.
Hajime nodded seeming to cease Kazuichi.
"Nagito? But he's a loony!" Kazuichi seemed to have trouble with keeping words to himself.
Hajime had stopped eating and held a knife in his hand, he glared at Kazuichi. Tenseness seemed to envelope the room and a few people turned to look at Hajime. Noticing this new found attention he decided to untense and sighed. He looked down at his plate, not sure what to do.
"Sorry" he finnally managed to mumble out.
"OKAY IM DONE!" Kazuichi yelled, many people looked at him while Sonia tryed to calm him down. "WHATS WITH YOU HAJIME, YOU NEVER TALK TO US THEN YOU ACT LIKE THIS?! O-OVER SOME LOONEY?!" Kazuichi finished, moving his hands down from whatever frantic position they had been held in. Hajime stared up at Kazuichi fear in his eyes, his jaw was on the floor and was scared at Kazuichi's outburst. Kazuichi sat down in a humph and stared out the window. Hajime sat with his head in his  hands, the room was painfully silent. Hajime started blanking out, what was going on? The killing game was horrible, but this felt far worse. Jolting him out of his sleep, Hajime heard a familiar alarm. He almost stood still but then he remembered that nagito was the only one left. He rushed out, pushing his way past everyone. Mikan was sat next to the pod looking more stressed than usual. The pod had already opened but no one sat up. Hajimes heart ruled over him and he ammidietly started thinking of the worst outcomes. Standing shocked he started pushing his way through the crowd seeing nagito laying in the pod. Hajime ran up to nagito and began to shake his shoulders.
"NAGITO PLEASE WAKE UP!"
