[ A little feeling of surprise returns through the mental link as a lightly dozing Nanami wakes up again. It takes her a few extra moments to register what she's heard. ]
Nagito-kun...? [ She hesitates to send any more emotions through the link, so for now she only sends words. ]
[ She goes quiet again, trying to remember the events of the previous night, painful though they are. Looking past the nightmares that have kept her awake since. ]
It was brainwashing. I had only had an hour since that happened. Since the effects were to encourage seeking out despair...it was too dangerous for you both for me to stay.
Would it surprise you I don't know what will help? A lot of it are things I already knew...how I used to feel. It's like being drenched in a sickness. I have no idea what the solution is beyond seeking a path through it. [He just doesn't know what to do. Except live.]
To talk. I called to see how you're doing. I know what happened was painful and confusing. [He leans back against the shelf, continuing to dust while he talks.]
[Is she? It's hard to tell when only their voices are communicating. Well. Not entirely.]
...you didn't sleep? [He laid awake in bed staring at the ceiling and listening to the unearthly quiet of the house. No Hinata softly breathing in his ear. He'd even asked Raijin to curl up on him but it hadn't helped.]
I'll have enough time to nap before I have to head over to the library. [He'll catch a power nap. That's enough to keep him going for a while and not enough to potentially dream.]

[ She's quiet again for a little bit. Clutches her pillow, uncertain of what to do or say. ]
I'm sorry, Nagito. ... Those memories must really hurt.
no subject
But I felt like it was only fair I let you know that's why I left.
no subject
Okay. Thanks.
[ She lies still, still thinking and processing. She really doesn't want to leave things there. ]
Nagito?... I want to help... both of you... but I don't know how.

[ Again, the quiet, as she rubs her eyes and thinks. ]
What is it you want? Right now, off the top of your head?

[ She's not sure what she's feeling right now. Like she's sort of disconnected, and there isn't any rebooting here. She rubs her eyes again. ]
I'm fine. [ She isn't hurting as much, at least. ] A little tired, I guess.

I thought I'd go back over the teleporter codes we've obtained so far.

You should sleep, though. After your shift.
