The first thing Naegi did after obtaining the power to bribe his mother, was to demand a television, so that he could watch the news, to know what was going on in the world.

Naegi also demanded books on geography, science, math, physics, botanic and robotics, with the cause being, in case he wanted to run away, he would be self-sufficient.

He also demanded self-defense classes; in case a situation could not be solved with diplomacy it would be solved with strength.

Since his mother did not want to go to prison, she decided obeying Naegi to be the smarter decision.

Naegi was forced to go back to school, since the social assistant thought it best for him not to stay at home, instead getting some social interaction.

Naegi was also forced to go through a psychologist one time a week, to see if he had any sign of a mental disorder, such as ptsd or paranoia.

Naegi only had to act like a normal child in front of the psychologist, so that he was not diagnosed with something that could possibly affect his future.

Unfortunately Naegi was not good enough a liar to fool a psychologist, the end result being Naegi diagnosed with paranoia.

After going to the psychologist, Naegi decided to study acting and psychology, so that he could lie better, and also know when someone was lying.

And so, five months passed with Naegi going to school in the morning, after school he would have acting and self-defense classes, afterwards he would go home and study all the books he got from his mother.

His routine however changed when school vacation came, and Naegi having a lot more free time, decided to explore the city.

Whilst exploring, Naegi found a library, curious he decided to enter it.

The first thing Naegi saw inside the library was the counter, which was to be expected, however the interesting part was that there was a little girl atop it.

Naegi, curious decided to talk to the girl.

Naegi called the girl, who turned around in the counter to face Naegi, and immediately got red faced, either out of shame or surprise Naegi did not know.

The girl proceeded to get down from the counter, and talk to Naegi, revealing her name and age.

It turned out "she" was in fact a he, and his name was Chihiro Fujisaki; Chihiro had the same age as Naegi, which was strange, considering he looked like he had seven years, not ten.

Naegi and Chihiro talked for hours, the main subject being programming, which Naegi found out Chihiro was quite proficient at.

Naegi also found out Chihiro dressed as a girl because he was bullied for being frail even though he was a boy; the way Chihiro dealt with the bulling was to dress up as a girl so that there was no pressure for him to become stronger.

Naegi and Chihiro became good friends, with Naegi learning a lot more about programming from Chihiro, and Chihiro learning from Naegi it was acceptable to be himself.

Unfortunately the library had to close, and the two friends had to go their separate ways.

Naegi now had someone to talk with in case he felt the need, and he also had someone to help with programming.

Chihiro did not know now, but he would end up unwillingly helping Naegis plan.
