As the islands cave in

5:00 hours left...

3rd person pov:

There stood sixteen students. Mouths wide open as they stared at the timer in shock and terror.
Suddenly the silence was broken as some started to panic.

"Are we for reals gonna die??"
"This can't be actually happening, right?!"
"I c-can't take t-this anymoreee!!"
"Whoever decided to pull this shit on us better stop cause this isn't fucking funny!"

Hajime Hinata pov:

As I watched the other's freak out I tried my best to remain calm.
"It's going to be alright... Just take a deep breath.. Breathe in... Breathe out.."

It didn't work.

Naturally, fear took over my body and decided to make me take a nap on the floor.

In other words.

I passed out.

I still remember monokuma revealing the timer. It was so obvious. Of course it was a bomb. We should've known. Or perhaps we somehow knew all along...

(I don't want to lose them..)
I thought to myself.
(I don't want to lose *him*)
Ah yes, him.
Nagito Komaeda. Also known as the ultimate lucky student. Though he talked himself down all the time, he truly meant the world to me. He still does.
So far we've spend a "reasonable" amount of time together, yet I haven't been able to tell him how I feel.
I want to tell him.. but with the state of the islands...

It might be too late for that.

4:30 hours left...

As if on que I suddenly heard two faint voices trying to reach out to me.

"Hey hey Hajime! Please wake up!"
"Come on Hajime, don't give up so easily!"

I gasped for air and sat back up to meet the worried faces of Chiaki Nanami and Nagito Komaeda.

"Hajime! I'm so glad you're awake. How are you feeling?"
Chiaki tried to speak calmly but I could hear the shakiness in her voice.

"I'm fine don't worry. Besides, where's everyone?"

I looked around to see only the three of us sitting on the ground.

"They all left a while ago to enjoy their last few hours. Their faces looked so full of despair.. but I'm sure that in the end, only hope will remain."

There he goes again. Talking about hope. He really seems to admire it seeing how his eyes light up whenever he speaks of it. If only I could see what was going on inside his head.

"Hajime you're zoning out. Are you sure you're okay?"
Nagito looked me in the eyes with a worried look on his face.

I quickly snapped out of it as I heard his soft voice call out my name.

"Ah yes I'm totally fine! I said it before didn't I? Don't worry about m-"

Trying not to look weak I quickly stood up but my legs were still too weak for walking which made me fall back on the floor.

"Hajime!!"
Both of their voices united as they reached out for me.

"You should be more careful. You just passed out remember?"

"I know Chiaki, I'm sorry"
I put on a sheepish smile as I slightly grabbed my head

"Maybe you should get a bit of rest. I can bring you to your cottage if you want to."

Nagito stood up and held out a hand for me to grab. But as soon as I grabbed his soft hands Chiaki shook her head and spoke

"I don't think that's a good idea."
She said.
"Nagito you know how your talent works, you being the one bringing Hajime back might have some kind of influence on our current situation-"
