"Alright homeroom, we're doing a project that involved combining your talents together." The teacher of homeroom explains.
"That sounds interesting! I wanna participate!"
"How though...?" Nimi mumbles softly.
"Good point."
"I'll be putting you all in pairs, but since it's your first project, you all can choose your partners."
"Pssh, more like my 50th project if I count work...." Nimi mumbles again.
"Once all the papers have been passed out, you all have self-study and time to plan the project." The teacher leaves.
"Woohoo! Self-study!" The Ultimate Mechanic cheers.
Nimi couldn't memorize all their names, so she's going by their talents. The ones she does remember are Sonia, Gundam, and Fuyuhiko, or what she likes to call him, Fuyu.
"Nimi, would you like to be my partner?" Sonia asks her sleepy friend.
"No thanks. Go be with Gundam." Nimi smiles, "Looks like he has no idea what he's doing."
"You are correct. I'll go help him. I wonder what the project is!" Sonia walks over to her breeder friend.
"Here." The Ultimate Photographer hands her a sheet of paper:
"Thanks..." Nimi looked away and accepts the sheet.
The red head girl leaves her and went back to passing the information out to her classmates. Before Nimi realized it, almost everyone was paired up.
"That's what you get for being shy and being selfless."
"I just don't like interacting with people..." Nimi mumbles a little louder than earlier.
"Really? I was hoping we could be partners." A boy with fluffy white hair spoke.
Her eyes blinked up and notices his presences. Her cheeks heated up and looks away quickly.
"I-I wasn't talking t-to you! I was t-talking to myself!" She stuttered.
"So, we can work together?" The boy tilted his head.
"S-sure! W-we're the last ones a-anyway. I'm used to it..." Nimi mumbles the last part so her partner couldn't hear.
"I'm glad. I was afraid that I have to work on my own, since my talent is useless." The Ultimate Lucky Student pulled out his seat and sat next to Nimi's desk.
"I thought luck was a pretty neat talent..." Nimi mumbles again, but the luckster is able to hear her.
"Not if you're unable to control it. After all, I was chosen just by some lottery." He smiles, "We never properly introduced ourselves, did we?"
"T-to the whole class, but I can't remember all of your names..." Nimi looked down in shame and guilt.
"It's okay! I'm Nagito Komaeda. And I know you're Nimi Heart, the Ultimate Dreamer." Nagito introduced himself.
"Y-yeah..." Nimi kept staring at the floor, hoping it would do something weird.
"What is exactly is your talent? If you don't mind me asking." Nagito smiles at her again.
"Um...just look up Nimi_The_Knight, then you'll see what I do for a living." She sighs tiredly.
"Next time. Don't get 2 hours of sleep."
"Tired of explaining it over and over again?" He chuckles.
"Yeah, basically."
"That's okay. We should figure out what we're gonna go for the project because it involves our talents combined."
"I'll do everything and you'll present." Nimi said in a rapid pace, since she been through this before.
"That's not good. I rather do my portion of the project than just presenting." Nagito offers.
"It's fine. I can make it quickly. I'll just dream that I'm you to make it look like you did it. And-"
"That's cheating. I'm not gonna take up that offer. We're doing this together to make the hope inside us shine brighter." He cut her offs
"Confident, ain't he?"
"I'm surprised he's actually gonna work with me. I'm not used to this sort of thing..." Nimi mumbles so Nagito doesn't hear and only Dream.
"After all, people did abuse your fast working pace and talent."
