[So Nagito remembers, huh... When some of the others woke up, it was with only a few patchy memories of what had happened in the Neo World Program. There were even one or two who completely forgot they had died in the simulation by the time they were out of it... A pretty vocal part of Hajime had been hoping that Nagito would wake up with no memory of what he'd done on the fifth island, but Nagito remembers, and Hajime will have to work with that.
But he can. He's going to.]
I wasn't going to leave you. You know, I-- I wouldn't do something like that.
[Hajime's been saying this a lot recently. Some of the others, watching Hajime struggle to wake Nagito these past few weeks, had been convinced that Nagito just wasn't going to wake up at all, no matter what Hajime tried doing. Some had even begun encouraging Hajime to just let him be, to just give up. But Hajime wasn't going to do something like that. He wouldn't. He'd gotten all the others out of the sim. If he could do that for them, he would do it for Nagito, as well.
And, besides...
No, he can think about that later. Maybe even talk about it with Nagito, once Nagito's awake enough to really talk.
As it is, Nagito's heavily overslept, and... scarily light everywhere else, Hajime realizes, as he slings his other arm around Nagito's waist and gradually lifts him up. Nagito had been getting his nutrients through a tube since he first went into the pod, and he'd been in the pod a lot longer than anyone else was, but still, Hajime didn't expect him to be this skinny. It makes sense, but even so, it's confronting.
As Hajime helps Nagito out of the pod, all the tubes and wires that were connected to him are shedded from his body, all having been disconnected when the pod was shut off and opened. The headband is still around Nagito's head, but that'll come off easily, once Nagito's ready for the feeling of fingers on his forehead, behind his ears, at the nape of his neck, on his face. It'll be more sensation than he's had in a long time - it might be too much all at once, if Hajime isn't careful with his timing.
Hajime rises slowly, unfolding his legs from underneath himself, encouraging Nagito's to do the same. He pauses when he reaches his full height, to catch his breath, to let Nagito find his.
He can't begin to explain why he's so glad to see Nagito right now. He will, once Nagito is ready to hear it. But for now, Hajime keeps silent, and lets Nagito focus on reorienting himself to the real world.]
