[ Congratulations, Naegi. She's speechless.

There's a few moments of silence, where she's caught off guard and looking at Naegi, her eyebrows raised in surprise. She's never had someone think of her that way, not for a long time at least. But she finally smiles. ]

...You're so foolishly honest, Naegi-kun. [ And there's a fondness to the way she says it. ] I consider you my best friend as well. You've taught me a lot.

[ Kirigiri's smiles are a precious commodity. ...Well, maybe he shouldn't go that far, but...Naegi smiles back without any hesitation, relaxing a little at the confirmation. He'd sort of figured he was at least a good friend in her estimation - hadn't she helped him out throughout the game...? ]

Maybe...but isn't being foolishly honest one of my strengths? At least, it worked out that way. And if it's ever the wrong move to make, I know you'll be there to tell me so, or help me out. Well, not that I'll be trying to get into trouble... [ Was there a point to this tangent, Naegi? ]

You've taught me a lot, too. I...definitely never would have made it through that game without your help. [ Without the help of all of his friends, but Kirigiri especially had dragged him out of the fire more than once. Even if she had also thrown him into it a few times, because of course she had. ]

[ And she does regret throwing him in to the fire those times, but at the time she had seen it as something that she needed to do. Of course, now she knows that looking at other alternatives might have been better but... There's no changing the past. ]

None of us would have made it out without your help either. You need to give yourself the credit you deserve as well. [ Because really. He convinced everyone to leave the school, and that might not have happened if he weren't there. It definitely wouldn't have happened. ]

All of us probably deserve some credit, right?

[ well

except maybe Hagakure..........although he tried (?) ]

[fittedgloves]

[ Her mind immediately goes to Hagakure when he says that, and yeah... He didn't do much, but he was there at least... For support. Sort of. ]

I suppose so. Just don't forget that you played an important role in getting us out of there.

[ Sort of...although the whole proving Kirigiri wasn't dead thing had been a trip. ]

I won't...as long as you don't forget the same thing, you know?

[fittedgloves]

[ She chuckles. At this point, everything that happened in Hope's Peak feels like a dream... A very vivid one. ]

Fair enough. I won't.

Hm...I miss those three. It feels kind of weird to have gone this long without a story about cow aliens...or Fukawa-san's rants. Or without Asahina-san's enthusiasm. She'd be happy about the donuts here...

[ Togami probably doesn't miss Fukawa but WHATEVER, NAEGI DOES ]

action;

[fittedgloves]

It's strange not having them around, after everything we went through together...

[ And she misses them too. It's funny how they miss the others despite really only having memories of knowing them for just a couple of weeks. ]
