...It seemed like the logical one. I'm glad it was confirmed.

I gave her my Rapidash to help with traveling. She's in Violet City right now, training until she can earn the first badge. She said she's eager to rejoin us once she does.

[superordinary]

So am I. It's what I chose to believe in, rather than thinking she did it for revenge. I wanted to remember her as a dear friend...

I look forward to seeing her in person again. I'm feeling a bit nervous, though.

[freshprints]

What part are you nervous about?

[superordinary]

I'm not sure.

[freshprints]

...Just the general circumstances, then.

[superordinary]

[ There's a delay before Naegi types up a reply. ]

...I used to have a crush on her.

[freshprints]

[WELP this isn't going to be awkward at all.]

In the days leading up to her death?

[superordinary]

Yeah.

[freshprints]

Is that something you confessed to her, as well?

[superordinary]

No, of course not. I'm just an ordinary guy so I thought that there's no way an idol like her could be interested in me... Besides, we were busy looking for a way out. Nobody has time for that sort of stuff in a situation like that.

[freshprints]

[It seems kind of weird to say "good thinking, that's actually really sensible of you", so she's just going to think it without actually writing it out.]

I understand.

[And then there's just kind of a pause of her own.]

I...hope it goes without saying that if I ask you things about her, it's not out of jealousy over those feelings.

[superordinary]

Of course, Kyouko.

[ ... ]

...Uh, I probably should say that I don't feel that way about her anymore. I think it was mostly a celebrity crush that went away after the trial, and it's been over a year and a half.

[freshprints]

...We've all changed a lot since we arrived here, haven't we?

[superordinary]

Yeah, we have. I've grown up a little.
