Happier Than Ever [Part 1]

"H-he's been in there for days now… surely he must be starving.."
"Yeah.. w-"
"Hold it Jason! You really think he's going to act nice towards us? He killed someone-!" I turned towards Mahiru who was yelling loudly at Sonia and I. "He did it to protect her-"
"And she died trying to protect him! It was all.. all pointless.." Mahiru said, her eyes glossing over. "... it's true that Sky's dead… but we shouldn't let her death be in vain. She'd want us to help him." I sighed. "So.. what do you suppose we do?" Sonia asked. "... we just have to check on him."
"I-I.. I'm sorry but I can't right now. I'll snap if I see him.." Mahiru admitted. "Alright. We'll tell you what happens, stay safe okay?" Mahiru nodded before we left.

I knocked on the room's door. "Komaeda? Can we come in?" The room was deathly silent. "... he has to be in there… he most likely won't answer…"
"So.. should we just.."
"Barge in?" Sonia nodded before knocking once more on the door, "We're coming in."

The door creaked as it opened, letting the darkness of the room engulf us. If Nagito noticed us, he didn't make any motion to acknowledge. He kneeled by a bed which she lay motionless on. The air became still, and for some odd reason a pounding filled my ears. It wasn't as rapid as my own heartbeat, it was slow, uneven. I glimpsed over to Sonia who had seemed to have taken steps back from Nagito. She looked back once my eyes met hers, a look of pleading fear loomed across her features. I gave her a nod, a vain attempt to try and soothe her nerves.

The door slowly closed behind us as we made our way further in. It blew away dust from the floor once it fully shut. I clenched my fists and inhaled deeply. "Nagito." I managed to get out before promptly shutting my mouth. Silence sat heavy upon us, he made no attempt to move nor talk. I took out a lighter from my pockets and lit it. The room became illuminated by its soft glow. There was a gun haphazardly thrown across the room, bullets appeared to have fell out of the chamber. I tried to ignore the fact that I could only see five bullets and that the chamber had six slots. "N-nagito..?" Sonia asked softly, looking around at the destroyed room. The only intact area was the bed, whenever I glanced over at it the pounding grew louder.

".. Nagito, I know you can hear us." I spoke out, casting the silence away. "We want to help you."
"Agreed.. may we come near you Nagito?" He seemed to have this aura around him, one of pure dread. I walked beside him. His face looked deathly pale, his eyes locked on one part of her body. "... can you at least look at me?" I asked. I bit my tongue soon after, quickly regretting saying it. However, his eyes dragged their way to face me. "Nagito, are you okay? Y-you look awful..." I muttered, hoping he could hear me clearly. A smirk appeared upon his lips, "Heh... i... I look 'awful'?" He said, however it didn't seem directed towards me.
"Jason, don't you realize I'm okay?" he said, his tone distant despite directly asking me. "W-what do you mean??" He laughed, letting a wheeze come out. "I'm quite alright actually! I know it sounds ludicrous bu-"

"H-how can you say that!?" Sonia cried out. Nagito let out a soft "hm?"
"S-she's dead Nagito. If anyone has a reason to be sad, you do! S-she wouldn't want you to-"
"How do you know what she wants?" he asked, his tone darker than before. "How can someone as pathetic as the two of you possibly hope to understand her?" His eyes glanced at our frames, awaiting an answer. "N-nagito.. we were her friends! S-she.. she wouldn't want to see you this way.." 

Nagito pondered the thought before letting out an amused chuckle. "You really think she is your friend? If you truly know her, you'd know how lonely she feels. The constant and damning loneliness that she can't seem to escape. The one that engulfs us both..." His words began to trail off, his demeanor changing yet again. "You were her escape from it Nagito. She.. she fucking loved you.. she.. she fucking died to save you!" I exclaimed. "You're wrong." he spat. "She's not dead. She hasn't been dead either... you all are just so utterly hopeless..."

"Then tell me why you've been locked up in here. Tell us why the hell it looks like you've been starving yourself! Why you kept the goddamned gun!" I retorted. "You're lying to yourself Nagito. You know she's dead-!"
"I'm telling you she's not dead!" He yelled out. "I knew no one would believe me, but stop telling me she's dead when she's not!" His voice sounded desperate as he finally turned his body to face us. "Sh-She's not fucking dead!"
