-Ryan Sensei
When Koro-sensei arrived into his classroom, he once again felt a wave of depression coming from his students. The only difference, was this time, he had something he could give them. News, information...hope, although slim.
"Mina-san, I know you all have been feeling down lately about the absence of your classmates..." The words only served as a reminder for their helpless situation, and only darkened the sullen mood.
"But! Today, I have news! As your reliable teacher, I looked into the matter, and I guess the news is good to hear, but at the same it's also bad, but wai-" koro-sensei gets cut off by Rio.
"Koro-sensei! Just say it already! Don't leave us in the dark here!" The class made hums in agreement.
"Well, as you know, Nagisa was recently injured... I was recently informed that along with his previous injuries, Nagisa had further injured himself by going outside in his condition. In a blizzard nonetheless, he really needs to take better care of himself...Anyways, he was recently found in a critical state, and is currently being treated in the ICU unit in a v.i.p. room provided by the ministry. Karma is with him as we speak. He's in the nearby hospital, so you are free to visit him. There is just one thing... Nagisa-kun.. He... Since he'd been found, has been in a coma and has yet to wake up, and he might not ever wake up."
Gasps echoed the room as well as the sound of slight sobs. It wasn't exactly good news, but it was the truth.
"I just visited him before class, and was able to see his current state... If you do plan on visiting him, go with absolute caution, because even the slightest thing could put him back in a critical state. So it's up to you, you're not obligated to visit, but I'm sure both he and Karma'd both appreciate it," Koro-sensei concluded.
For a while the class was silent, aside from a few sniffles here and there. No one uttered a word, no one moved, they all were registering what they'd just heard. Until finally Kayano stood up and said with a firm resolution,
"Right after class... I'm going. It's obvious I'd be going, Nagisa is our friend!"
"Me too. Of course I'm going, he's an irreplaceable member of our class, we're practically family here in class E," added Isogai, as he too stands.
"I gotta make sure him and that bastard are ok," said Terasaka standing up with his arms folded.
"I'm going too!" shouted Sugino, standing up from his seat.
"Same," Rio said, getting up from her desk.
In the next couple of minutes, the whole class ended up standing together.
"Let's go!" Shouted Hinano lifting her arm up, fingers carefully curled into a fist.
"Mina-san, I'm thrilled you all are so excited to see your classmate but class-" Koro-sensei started before once again getting interrupted.
"Can wait for later, we've been waiting all week for some news, we got it and aren't waiting. Plus, I gotta make sure he remembers to take his dog back," cuts Terasaka.
"I see. Well, there's no helping it, but we'll have to visit in small groups, so it doesn't get too overwhelming in there. Irina-sensei and Karasuma sensei are already there, so we can meet up with them there. Let's go!" Said the now enthusiastic teacher taking three students with him at a time to the hospital until the whole class met up with their teachers in the waiting room.
"Karma's already in there, so let's have the first group be: Kataoka-san, Hayanami-san, Chiba-kun, Okajima-kun, Mimura-kun, and Takebayashi-kun," says Koro-sensei. Irina then guided the first group in and leaned against the room's wall with her arms crossed. The first group was greeted by Karma.
Karma had been pacing back and forth impatiently across the large room as he combed his fingers through the front of hair, wondering why Nagisa hadn't woken up yet. Exhausted, he slumped in his chair next to Nagisa and saw a small group of his classmates.
"You guys are here earlier than expected."
After seeing their weary friend, they expressed their worries to Karma and wishes for Nagisa to get better. With nothing more to say, the first group left for home, but it was clear to see on their leaving faces that they weren't happy with what they saw.
"Alright mina-san! The next group to go in is: Yada-san, Fuwa-san, Hara-san, Hinano-san, Okano-san, and Suguya-kun," Koro-sensei hollered as the second group met up with Bitch-sensei.
Just like the previous group, they solemnly payed their respects to Nagisa, a few girls began to cry upon seeing his condition, and Suguya, the only male in the group silently patted Karma on the back before heading out with Bitch sensei.
"I'm gonna go back home, so I'll leave the other two groups to you guys," Irina shouts to no one in particular as she walks out with the second group, waving her hand behind her as she leaves.
"Alright then, Karasuma! I'll take care of this group, and you the last group, is that okay?" asked Koro-sensei.
"It's fine," Karasuma quickly dismissed.
"The second to last group is going with me: Nakamura-san, Yoshida-kun, Hazama-san, Muramatsu-kun, Terasaka-kun, Itona-kun, and you can use someone's phone for Ritsu," their assassination target announced.
As Sugino watched yet another group enter he asked Karasuma-sensei, "we're seriously worried about them, I'm pretty sure this group is the most worried for both Karma and Nagisa, so why is it that we have to go last to just see them?! I can't take this anymore!" Some of the remaining students agreed with his protest and made a few nods in agreement supporting him.
Karasuma closed his eyes for a moment before answering the question, "I understand that you guys are impatient to see your friends, but if you u'd just be patient, you'd realize that your group is going next, so it won't be that much longer anyways... But I think the real reason the octopus made your group go last is because you guys cared the most. Once you see him, you'll probably take more time than the rest of the groups. The group going in right now may take a bit longer than the others as well, but that just shows how severe the situation is… So please... Just hang in there." The students went quiet in their response, a newfound fear looming amongst them, and they anxiously wait for their turn.

Meanwhile, as Terasaka and his others group members were let into the v.i.p. room, the first thing Terasaka saw was Karma sitting in a nearby chair, and cautiously walked up to him, as if approaching a feral animal in wild."Hey, haven't seen you in a while," Terasaka said to the redhead.
In his response, he spoke in his usual mischievous, yet condescending tone, hiding the pain felt throughout his entire being.
"Yo Terasaka, long time no see. How's Cursed been?"
"Fine really, he's very well behaved, which is kinda shocking, since it's your dog..."
"Ha! I'm gonna go back home later today, so feel free to drop him off back at my house when you go home. Thanks again for taking care of him."
Terasaka was at first shocked by the redhead's word of thanks, but realized that the current situation, was definitely the reason why he was acting so weird.
"Y-yeah. No problem. Y-you still owe me ya know!... So this was the reason that you didn't tell me anything? You big idiot! By saying nothing, you have no idea how worried you've made us feel" Terasaka shouted.
"Ehhh? You were worried for me Terasaka-ku~n? Hmm? I'm flattered, but I'm already taken," the redhead teased,
"You idiot, who'd like someone like you, gross. I'm worried for the guy that actually likes you, Nagisa, not you. Idiot!" Terasaka says, attempting to hide any concern and embarrassed in his tone, but not succeeding.
As he walked over to the small heard of people surrounding the hospital bed. What he saw, in all honesty scared and concerned the hell out of him. There were multiple tubes, and bruises on the boy, and he was seriously pale, yet even in that state, he looked peaceful.
It's almost as if he was dea-, Terasaka didn't want to even finish that thought.
"T-this is one of the few times I've seen him with his hair down, but he seriously looks like a girl. A really pretty one at that," Rio says, scratching the back of her head and effectively breaking the awkward silence.
It seemed like an insult, but it was the truth, and nobody could deny the boy's beauty.
"If only there was something we could do for him..." Yoshida wondered out loud.
"Maybe I could check back at my house for any books on reviving someone," Hazama says in her usual monotone voice.
"You make it sound like he's dead. He's in a coma, no need to use curses or anything like that!" Muramatsu said.
"He may as well be dead, just look at him. He's practically on death's doorstep, that's why I say we should-" Hazama thought aloud before a dark bloodlust filled the room.
Karma growled at the notion of Nagisa even being on death's door step and looked pissed beyond belief. He was ready to attack anyone that would even suggest the teal head even being dead, but it was Koro-sensei who firmly pushed him back into his chair, and scorned Hazama for her words.
Everyone in the room was silently thankful that it didn't escalate any more than that.
"I know you had no ill intentions, but just visiting him to make sure he's ok and isn't completely alone is already more than enough... Alright, we should let the last group in, and start heading home, it's getting late," Koro-sensei suggested.
The group of teens and their teacher begin slowly exiting the room and head for home. Before she leaves Nakamura gave her close friend, Karma a hug and whispered, "Just keep surviving each day, and eventually things will work out. Please don't beat yourself up about it. Later Karma." He silently waved as he watched the retreating blonde hair slide out the door.
Terasaka was the last one to exit the room, but before he leaves he offers Karma words of encouragement, "Don't worry, he'll wake up. Soon I bet! So you need to go back home, take care of your dog and yourself and be ready for when he does wake up. Just be your usual cocky self, not just your sake, but his sake too."
They both look in Nagisa's direction then look in different directions. "See ya!" Terasaka shouted.
Instinctively Karma grabbed Teraska's arm, preventing him from leaving.
"Karma?" Terasaka asked.
Now aware of what he was doing, Karma panicked as he lets go.
"Sorry. I just..." Karma said drifting off.
"Ok... Well… See ya Karma," with that the last member of the third group left.
Karma looked at his hand intensely for a moment.
Heh, that was uncool of me. I can't believe he was the one to make me remember that. The last words that I said to Nagisa before he went in that car with his mom... 'See ya'... Man, I'm seriously getting depressed over here.

With the previous group's departure, came the last group's entrance. Maehara, Isogai, Kayano, Sugino, Kanzaki,and Okuda were finally able to see their precious friends.
"Karma!" Shouted Isogai
"You made us worried," continued Maehara.
"Gomen, gomen! I was with Nagisa," Karma said putting on a playful façade, that fooled them all.
The rest of the group moved towards Nagisa. The girls instantly began crying and Sugino hit the nearest wall with the side of his fist, his non-throwing arm of course out of anger. Nobody was happy in this reunion. Kayano shakily grabbed Nagisa's hand, and jolted just by touching him. She turned her head in Karma's direction.
"H-he... His hand's..." Kayano started.
"Ice cold, I know..." Karma continued.
Everyone went silent with those words."Ne, Karasuma-sensei, what should we do? Isn't there anything we can do?! I can't just sit here and do nothing!" Sugino shouted.
"Nobody, not even the doctors know when or if he'll wake up, I was talking to the doctors, and I was told that the most likely reason why Nagisa hasn't woken up is because of a psychological problem," Karasuma said with a deep sigh.
This was the first Karma'd heard of this and asked, "what do you mean it's a 'psychological problem'?"
Karasuma took a deep breath and responded, "well, most likely, the reason he hasn't woken up yet... To put frankly, his mind, or rather he doesn't want to wake up in the first place."
The people in the room all had shocked and confused facial expressions.
"HUUH?" Kanzaki says, breaking the silence.
"Then... In that case... How are we supposed to convince him to wake up?" Isogai asked.
"Well... I believe physical contact, and talking to him is really the closest thing we can do. I've researched into this a bit myself, and found that coma patients are able to hear the sounds in their environment. Naturally that includes voices… But in Nagisa's condition… The longer he stays in this condition, the worse he'll get," Karasuma explained.
Nobody wanted to think of how much worse their friend could get, and a newfound resolution burned in everyone's hearts, and for other, their resolve only grew stronger.
With the new discovery, Karma stood up and thanked Karasuma sensei.
"I'm heading home. See y-... Later you guys," Karma says leaving for home.
"I'm definitely coming back, I'll visit everyday if I can. Bye Karasuma-sensei, mina!" Kayano says leaving the room.
"Same here. He's my best friend, of course I'll be back! See you guys at school tomorrow!" Sugino shouts following after Kayano.
The others say things along the same line, and leave Karasuma alone with Nagisa. He calmly walked over to his student, and moved some of the blue locks shielding his eyes.
"Did you hear just how many of your classmates visited you? How they wanted you to get better? Whatever you're thinking, stop right now, because there is nothing more that everyone wants then for you to wake up... We'll be back tomorrow, bye Nagisa," he says to his student.
That day, some students felt mad, other people were frustrated, most were sad, but everyone shared the same feeling of helplessness, and the strong desire for Nagisa to be happy and healthy again.
Karma entered his house and was trampled by his overjoyed dog that he hadn't seen in days. The two wrestled in bliss for a few moments before Karma sees a medium size box lying near the door.
"Terasaka probably put it here... So, what's in it?" Karma asked, using his keys to cut open the box.
"Ha! She really did send it quickly..." Karma pulled out a small medical kit and a large, probably around the size of a toddler, teddy bear with a 'get well soon' stitched on his stomach. All express ordered from America.
Mom wasn't kidding... But her change in attitude is honestly giving me the creeps.
Karma chuckled to himself and placed the bear by the door. After feeding his dog, he grabbed the medkit and headed upstairs to his room.
Karma took the time to inhale the scent of his room, it was currently his 2nd favorite scent, 1st being Nagisa. He placed the medkit on top of his desk and walked over to the other side of the room. The side where his half-finished project was being stored.
Karma sighed in disappointment, and finished the project by himself. He would've loved if he and Nagisa could've finished it together, but he knew that wasn't an option at this point in time. After putting the finishing touches he noticed the supplies that Nagisa had bought were so like him. You could see a small part of Nagisa clearly in this project, despite not helping physically create the project .
Karma smirked, and after turning off the house lights, called Cursed to his room. Upon hearing his name being called, the dog hopped onto the bed, walked in a circle, then began sleeping on the foot of the bed alongside his owner.
The long day of visits had ended, but now Karma had a better idea of what he could do to help Nagisa.
At least it's something…
A/n: I'm pretty sure now that I think Karma usually gets the last word in these chapters.. I didn't even mean to do that... I should switch things up...
