I swear, writer's block and laziness combined are a bitch.

It took me a while to think of an idea for this one, but i finally did. Well, truth be told i had two ideas, and i wasn't quite sure how to put them in one chapter and still have it make sense, then i thought of something for that too.

You know something that really cracks me up though? Sonia's birthday is on the 13th of october, and this year (2017), it falls on a friday. You know what that means? Sonia's birthday, the occult lover, is on friday the 13th!

Also V3 is coming out in my country (AUS) on Kyoko Kirigiri's birthday, which is also awesome.

(I want absolutely no spoilers, this is the first time i get to experience a DR game blind for myself, so I'm super hyped. (i was a couple years late to the fandom, and was too broke to buy the games when i found the lets plays).)

Just wanted to share these two facts with you guys.

Enjoy the chapter :)

START OF CHAPTER:

Graveyards were not a happy place.

Nagito Komaeda unfortunately had to learn this at an earlier age then most. His parents had died tragically in a plane accident, and ever since then, he'd been alone.

No siblings, aunts, uncles, or any other living relatives. Which left him as the sole survivor of his family.

Unfortunately, being sick as he was, it didn't look like he'd live much longer, so his family line would die with him. It was a shame, but unfortunately there was no reversing it, right?

So as he stared up at the gates of Hope's Peak Academy, he consoled himself with the fact the even if there was no more hope left for him, than at least he could help bring hope to others. It was the only purpose he had left in the world… wasn't it?

…

Hajime Hinata didn't like funerals.

Not because of anything disrespectful or anything, he wasn't like that. People said 'funerals are for the living' and they were 'to celebrate the time you had with them', but really, all you were doing is standing around miserable and regretting their deaths, while the memories of them you had turned bittersweet.

As he looked over the two tombstones in front of him, he could only feel guilt and regret.

'Chiaki Nanami'

'Chisa Yukizome'

Since they had been stuck on the island since the simulation, they couldn't exactly go to the nearest place and buy them. So they'd had to make do with fashioning headstones out of the bigger rocks Akane had kicked out of a large boulder.

Even though Hajime didn't know Chisa as well as his other classmates, from what little time he had spent with her he'd thought she was a kind and supportive woman. He was also told that both she and Chiaki were the reason everyone had come together as a class before disaster struck.

Everyone had woken up, and they had unanimously agreed on what to do. They had found a nice, secluded spot on one of the islands, surrounded by beautiful scenery and peaceful.

They had made a memorial there for the two girls. Even if the two couldn't be here with them in person, they would honour their memories.

The only regret about that was, they had no bodies to bury.

Hajime couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt. No matter how many times he'd been told it wasn't his fault, he just couldn't shake the feeling.

No amount of kisses and intimate moments with Nagito could erase that. He still had nightmares about Chiaki's death, just standing there as she bled out, sometimes he'd even wake up screaming. Even though Nagito tried to comfort him, and he was thankful for the others support, it always happened again. He was grateful for Nagito, and the other boy's ended amount of patience with him.

He'd been told not only by the two girls themselves, but other people as well, that he was just fine the way he was. That he didn't need talent to be someone special int he world. And what had he done? He'd gone and been selfish, trying to play god to get what he wanted, all because he didn't think he was good enough without talent.

If he hadn't don't the Izuru experiment, would they have lived? If he hadn't become what he did, would the world have been spared all the death and suffering?

He knew it was Junko, he knew she was the mastermind that started it all, but he still felt like his selfish actions had played an important part in the world's destruction.

He missed them. He missed them both.

They all did.

END OF CHAPTER:

Even though i put both Hajime and Nagito's perspectives in this, i just didn't have as many ideas for Nagito's part. So that's why the first bit is a bit shorter.

There wasn't as much focus on Komahina romance, nor is there in the next chapter, I'm sorry. But on the bright side, there's plenty more chapters to do that.

Cya next chapter :)
