I glanced at the clock which said it was 12:48pm. "Once again I slept through the announcements. Curse this heavy sleep mode I have." I looked past my clock and saw a note. I picked up and and read it.

"'When you're awoke come to my room.' -Nagito." I smiled and left out. "Oh [Name] I was coming to talk to you." It was Chiaki. "Yes Chiaki?" She frowned a bit. "Don't let them get to you okay?" She then gave me a small smile. "I can try, but I don't know Chiaki. It's pointless to keep trying to prove my talent over and over."

She frowned again. "You proved that you could solve the case. Thank you." After that she left and I went to Nagito's cottage. "Come in." I did as he said and he was smiling really big. "Did you kill someone?" I cocked my head in confusion. "Nope, I just would like to know something."

Hm I was trying to guess what it was but I had no clue. "What is it?" "Would you like to go on a date with me?" He still was a smiling mess. "If I recall a date is between two people who have a romantic connection right?"

"Yes. I'll set it up and around 3 we'll have us a date." I thought about it for a few seconds. "I've never been on one before so it would be fun to experience something like this." I smiled. And it means I can spend the entire day with him.

"Okay! Then I'll get the day ready and you go eat breakfast." I nod and head over to the restaurant. When I got there everyone besides Hajime and Chiaki were there. I go into the kitchen and fix me a bowl of cereal. After that I sat at the table everyone was at.

A date, Junko has never told me what people do on dates so I'm unsure what to do. "[Name]." I crunched on my cereal and saw who called me. "Yes Fuyuhiko." My tone was bored. All four of them bowed their heads down.

"We're very sorry!" "For what?" I held my head on my palm and smirked. "We put you in a horrible situation yesterday even though you solved the case and saved us." Fuyuhiko began. "And I was the one who planted the fact that you could've fabricated the information."

Sonia rises back up and hugged me. "I was just upset that Gundham was the one who did it. I'm really sorry [Name], I do not wish to see you cry anymore." I froze in my chair. Junko it'd be okay to forgive them right? Or would you be upset since I won't let them sit in despair?

Then again how could I be upset when a princess bowed down and apologized to me. I hug Sonia back. "It's okay, I just wished you guys had more faith in me, I am an ultimate after all."

She lets go and smiled. "Always." "Yeah [Name] you rocked yesterday." Akane told me. "I've offended you and made you cry. I should be begging you to forgive me Ms. [Name]!" Kazuchi shouts.

Fuyuhiko pulled him by the collar. "She said she forgives us, just have more faith in the girl that's all." Even though I knew this wouldn't last, I soaked up all this for my memories. Then it seemed like a picture flashed in my head. The same people in front of me, but they were in different clothes.

School. I gave them a sincere smile. "Maybe this is what hope feels like, thank you." I put my dish in the sink and sat near the pool. "Is it wrong to feel this happy when it has nothing to do with despair?

Small pictures flashed in my head. I believed these were bits of my school memories. Finally a city on fire was the last memory I saw. "In the end hope and despair will lose. So I'll just enjoy what I feel in the moment." I lied down enjoying the sun.

"Hey [Name]." I opened my eyes to see Nagito. "Is it time? I'm sorry I lost track of time." He smiled. "It's okay." He stuck his hand out and I grabbed it following him wherever we needed to go.

I could only think about something bad happening to him soon. Of course I didn't want to but that's all it was when I'm with him. "It's beautiful Komaeda." When he dies, I'll be torn apart. He's either planning on killing the traitor or setting up another trap for someone.

I glanced as the boy talked to me and served me food. He took me on my first date. He was my first kiss. We're so similar yet different. Nagito's given me so much despair and too many hopeful events. I hate him for that.

"Being on the island wasn't so bad, we had lots of good times. Even though someone as trash as me got to experience it with ultimates like you." He smiled. I threw my food at his face and giggled. "That's true." He laughs with me.

Of course I'll be sad if he dies, I never had this bond with anyone else except Junko. "You're very pretty [Name], I-I thought I should let you know that." Nagito blushed and I rested my face onto my palms smiling. "Thank you. You're as cute as ever." If he dies there's no doubt about it, I'll finally get the despair I longed for.

I grabbed his hands. But I don't think I'm ready for that. I don't want to feel that despair anymore, I don't want to lose Nagito. "Komaeda, I love you. I love you a lot and I don't want to lose you, but I know you want to end this game and be our hope. So I'll bear the despair that's going to come in the future."

His grey greenish eyes were watering up. "I love you too [Name]. Since we met I knew I felt like this for you. I'm sorry I'll leave you in despair but your hope will shine brighter than anyone else." He got up to hug me and I didn't resist.

Yeah, even now it hurts because I know I'll lose him. I'll lose him and Junko. "I don't wanna be alone again." I whispered. "You won't be, something will get figured out." His grip tighten as we stayed like that for a few more minutes.

In the end despair will win, I can never rely on hope just as she said.
