[ while it's small, the gesture is appreciated and it offers a bit of comfort. ]
... It's good that you don't remember Hope's Peak. I think it'd be better if we didn't share memories.
[ it's very reassuring and nice to have someone from the same world to make you feel like you're not alone but in this case... naegi is okay with having less people from his murdergame world ]
[ Daisuke continues rubbing Naegi's back. He heard that running hand through a person's hair also felt nice too, but that seemed awkward, especially in the current situation.
Instead, he sits up on the bed since his back was crouching a bit before. Posture, man. ]
... Well, Makoto. Look... I'm not gonna disagree with you, but think of it this way! They're only memories. Sure, it could have been you or someone with your identity, but you're you right now. And you're not in a dangerous place like that.
I know it's always easier said than done, but if you ever need help when you remember something really bad, I'll be here for you.
I'll even ask your uni friends for notes if you don't feel like going to class.
[ this... gets naegi to smile. normally he's on the other side of this, having to cheer up other people, so it's nice that he's on the receiving end. ]
... Yeah, you're right. What matters is I'm here now.
[ he sits up straight as well ]
It's still depressing to think about but I shouldn't let it get me down.
Yeah, I mean... It's fine to be sad about it. It's a natural reaction, you know, being sad when you remember something sad. Feeling happy when you remember something happy... Even if it weren't for these weird kinds of memories, it'd be the same for our regular ones, right? Like the time when we finally saved up enough money to buy our table, our real first purchase.
[ The oak table is truly a legend in this household. ]
You're like family to me! And it's important that we're here for each other. You have your friends too. Just remember that you're not alone and we'll be more than willing to help you! At least I will.
