ok so we can all accept that nagito's feelings 4 hajime were romantic, right? but what about hajime? what does HE think of nagito? in nagito's ftes, u kinda get an idea of what hajime thinks of him. "Hmm... Nagito Komaeda, huh... He doesn't seem like the most reliable guy, but he doesn't strike me as a bad person either." "Nagito is laughing in a carefree way. But seeing him laugh like that was enough to distract me from my worries." ((bi moment LOL)) "Somehow...when I see the way Nagito doesn't doubt me at all, I start to believe he's right. He really does help me in so many ways..." "Jeez...he's totally messing with me... But...thanks to him, my feelings are lighter than they ever were. Could it be...? Was that his goal all along? If so...maybe he's a good person after all. Well, I guess it's too early to say. I need to get to know him better from now on. I hope we get to understand each other better, even if it's just a little bit at a time..." "After dominating the conversation, Nagito left...I feel like I still don't know much about him...But it seems like he has an understandable reason for his blind faith toward hope.I feel like...I was at least able to understand that." this is a generally....positive? view???? like he tolerates him, and kinda enjoys the other's presence. now, in the utdp, we kinda get more of hajime's feelings toward him. their relationship starts out rocky, but gets better towards the end. during the friendship events, we get this exchange. H: Oh, hey Nagito. Did your homeroom end? N: Yes, but...what brings you all the way out here, Hajime? H: I came to return the CD Mikan gave me. Well, "gave" isn't quite right. She forced a mountain of CDs on me... N: Hmmm, I see... N: You know, despite your lack of an Ultimate talent, you get along well with the others. But I'm terrified to be in the same class as all of them. I'm shameful... H: Who cares? It's my choice who I hang out with. N: Well, I guess I can understand that. For me, I yearn for Hope's Peak...I'm drawn to that light of hope like a moth to a flame... H: ...Nagito, do you say this kinda stuff to everyone you meet? N: Yes, I do. Why? H: Nothing, it's just...I don't really get it. It's exhausting trying to figure you out. N: Haha, you *do* look tired...You don't have to stay here and listen to me. You can leave me any time you like. H: Look, if you have a problem with me, *you* can leave *me*. N: Oh, don't misunderstand. It's not that I don't like you, Hajime. I think I know what you want. You're even more mysterious than me... N: We have these little talks, but are you just trying to get close to main course students? H: Hey, come on. You don't have to say it like I'm some kind of spy or something. Besides, that's not why I talk to you. It's because of...what you said. H: I still don't understand it, but I know that I'm not going to just leave it at that. N: I see. Such courage, Hajime. N: But courage in the hands of the powerless is called recklessness. H: Mind your own business, Nagito. You're just trying to...rile me up. N:...By the way, I saw Mikan staggering off toward the schoolyard after homeroom. H: What? Why didn't you tell me that first!? now, for the christmas party thing N: Why are you telling me this, Hajime? You're not the type to gather people around you. H: Why do you ask? Is it weird? N: It's more like...I can't believe you're interested in scum like me. H: Over these past three years, we've talked about a lot of things, haven't we? About your luck... Listening to that... Honestly, I still don't feel like I understand you. But even so... After we've talked this much... I can't let it end like this. N: I think there's a lot of things about me you'll never understand... H: Maybe, but even so...I don't want to leave things like this. H: ... H: Nagito...let go of my hand. N: What? Why? H: Why...? This is a handshake. Normally you let go after the handshake's done... H: Are you trying to say you want to be friends with me? N: ...Do you think there would be any meaning in us being friends, Hajime? H: Yes. Even something as simple as that... might change things. N: ... N: Well, if you say so, then okay... H: Alright...Since we're friends...you better come to anything I invite you to. N: If I'm invited by my friend...then I guess I don't have a choice, huh? N: Well, I'd never reject an invitation to something that'd make everyone's hope shine! so ya hajime likes him????????????? but like uh. not really? he sees him as a friend and stuff, and that COULD progress in2 a romantic relationship but thts like.....up 2 them and spichun who are. literal COWARDS.
