But when he arrived he found...

Nagito's capsule was open but he was nowhere to be found.

Hajime froze and turned on his heels, running out of the room. He ran into Ibuki and he ended up falling down.

"Why in such a big rush Hajime-chan? Did you really want to see Ibuki that badly?" Ibuki asked. Her voice was quieter than usual and she was in a wheelchair, seeing as her legs refused to function properly.

"No time. Gotta find Nagito." Hajime said, jumping to his feet. "Oh, Nagito-chan just went by with Mikan-chan. Ibuki thinks they're going to the hospital." Ibuki said. "Thanks Ibuki!" Hajime yelled over his shoulder, seeing as he started running after she said hospital.

Hajime threw open the doors and headed down the hallway. He heard voices in one room so he walked towards it. He stopped at the door and decided to listen before going in.

"P-please, l-let me h-help y-you get t-that removed." Mikan studdered. "I-I... But you'll be taking my arm away." A voice said. "Please, let us help you. If we don't get it removed immediately, it could become life threatening to you!" Sonia said. "Haha, like you care about trash like me. I'm gonna die soon anyways. Why waste your time with trash?" The other voice said.

Hajime froze. He opened the door and sure enough, there was Nagito. Sonia and Mikan stopped their pleading to look up at him. "Ah, Hinata-kun!" Nagito said. Hajime walked up to Nagito and slapped him across the face. Mikan and Sonia gasped in surprise at his actions. "Ah, I deserved that..." Nagito said, rubbing his cheek.

Hajime looked down at Nagito's left hand, which was actually Junko's hand. "Nagito, let them remove it." Hajime finally said. Nagito stared at Hajime for a little before sighing. "Alright, you can remove it." Nagito said to the girls. Mikan got to work gathering the supplies while Sonia ushered Hajime out and told him to come back later.

Hajime left and went back to the first island. He headed to the market, where he knew Kazuichi and Fuyuhiko were, fixing some of the machinery. Hajime walked inside and heard the two boys arguing over which item they need to fix next.

"Hey, Kazuichi! Do you have a moment?" Hajime asked, raising his voice slightly so the boys could hear him. Kazuichi's head popped up from behind a shelf and he smiled at Hajime. "Sure thing! Whatcha need?" Kazuichi asked, walking over to him. "Well..."

*Nagito's third POV*

"Hinata-kun!" Nagito yells, running towards the brunette. "What do you want?" Hajime snapped. Nagito stopped and stared at him. "Hinata-kun?" Nagito said, hurt in his words.

"Go away. I hate you. You should've stayed dead, you piece of trash!" Hajime snapped, venom dripping from his words. Nagito hung his head, tears stinging his eyes. "Of course, if it's what Hinata-kun wants..." Nagito said, turning around and running. Tears ran down his face as he ran.

I guess I have to die, for Hinata-kun. I have to be the stepping stone for everyone's hope. Nagito thought as he stopped in the middle of the bridge. Without a second thought, Nagito jumped off the bridge into the water. He let the waves pull him under. He ran out of air, and he started thrashing around, but to no avail.

Dark spots danced before his eyes as his vision blurred. Everything started to grow dark, then, Nagito stopped moving, stopped struggling. "Goodbye... Hinata-kun..." Nagito said before everything vanished.

"...gito! Nagito! Wake up!" A voice yelled, shaking Nagito. Nagito slowly opened his eyes, and they focused on the person before him. They had choppy brown hair and red eyes. The person next to them had messy purple hair and big, frightened purple eyes. "H-Hina-Hinata-kun?" Nagito stumbled through his words.

"G-good, y-yo-you're a-awake!" Mikan studdered. "H-hajime has a-a surp-prise for y-you." Mikan said, leaving the room. Not long after she left, Kazuichi walked in, nervously fiddling with his wrench. "Kazuichi, can you put it on now?" Hajime asked, a little impatiently.

"R-right..." Kazuichi studdered. He walked over to Nagito and attached a robotic arm to his left arm. Nagito watched as he attached a hand to the end, then stepped back. Nagito lifted his arm and looked at his robotic arm. He managed to spread the fingers on the hand easily, which surprised him.

"So Souda-kun made this then?" Nagito questioned. "Sure did!" Kazuichi said, sounding impressed with himself. "Really, thank you Kazuichi." Hajime said. "Man, for you no problem! But, do ya really think lettin' this guy have his hand back is the smartest choice?" Kazuichi asked. Nagito looked at Kazuichi and suddenly he shoved him.

"Oh, looks like it's malfunctioning already." Nagito said, hiding the fact he was purposely pushing him. "NO ITS NOT! You're jus' pushing me!" Kazuichi yelped, trying to move away from him. "Nagito..." Hajime said, reaching out to help Kazuichi. Hajime grabbed his wrist and pulled his hand back. Nagito blushed slightly and yanked his hand free.

"Thank you Souda-kun. And Hinata-kun." Nagito said. "No problem." Kazuichi said before leaving. Hajime only stared at Nagito. "Hey, Nagito?" Hajime asked. "Yes Hinata-kun?" Nagito said, looking up. "Do you remember the simulation?" Hajime asked.

Nagito nodded slowly. "I'm sorry for leaving you Hinata-kun..." Nagito said. "Why did you do it?" Hajime asked. "I wanted to get rid of the remainments of despair. I wasn't expecting you guys to figure out the traitor, and I certainly didn't expect for Chiaki to kill me. As always, my luck often goes against me." Nagito said.

"Nagito... You broke my heart. I... I let Izuru take control because of you!" Hajime yelled. Nagito flinched at his raised voice. "I'm sorry..." Nagito said. Hajime fell quiet. "The silent treatment, huh? Haha, I deserve it. Someone amazing like Hinata-kun doesn't deserve trash like me..." Nagito said sadly. Hajime didn't say anything or acknowledge that he heard.

"... Hinat-" "SHUT UP!" Hajime yelled, interrupting him. "H-Hinata-kun?!" Nagito asked, surprised. "Not you. Izuru." Hajime muttered. "Oh..." Nagito looked down. "Hinata-kun?" Nagito asked, looking up. "What?" Hajime asked. "Do you... still love me?" Nagito asked.
