Byakuya starts punctuating most of his sentences with "Naegi" regardless of whether the eg is present or not and has no idea he's doing it
Kiyotaka was first to get to the dining hall, as usual. He sat in his regular spot to eat his breakfast, trying to ignore the events of the previous day as best he could. Soon he was joined by Aoi, Sakura, Celestia and, surprisingly, Byakuya. They all took their places around the table in silence. After several minutes, Aoi broke the silence by saying something to Sakura and the dining hall was soon filled with their voices and laughter.
Eventually Touko, Hifumi and Yasuhiro also joined them and the chatter grew louder. The whole thing seemed forced until;
"Pass the salt, Naegi."
Everyone's heads turned to Byakuya.
"Uhhhh…" Aoi giggled. "Naegi's not here."
Byakuya looked confused. "I never said he was. I asked someone to pass the salt."
"No, you said "pass the salt, Naegi.""
"I most certainly did not, Naegi."
"Oh my gosh, you don't even know you're doing it, do you?"
"I'm not doing anything." He began to look quite irritated.
"Yes, you are."
"No, I'm not."
They went back and forth several times until another "Naegi" slipped out and everyone broke into peals of laughter.
It was during this laughter that Makoto entered the room and was thoroughly confused. Byakuya looked at him in frustration.
"Naegi, please inform everyone that I am not punctuating sentences with your name."
"Naegi, no, you don't understand, he totally is!" Aoi squealed.
"No, I'm not, Naegi, please!" He groaned.
"Well, I can't really say for sure, I wasn't in the room after all…"
This was the moment Byakuya gave up on life and just put his head down on the table.
The worst part was that he didn't even doubt that he'd been doing it.
