[Maizono-san left.

Again.

To him, this chilling rain fit his current mood all too well as he just stood there in the hallways, trudging through silently as he did nothing of sorts to even protect himself. In fact, he was too tired that the only thing he could do was to walk on and try to get his bearings together. February and March at this point, could go to hell for all he care- but that'd be too strong a word for him, hell.

But it's really fitting, since this tower could be comparable to that.

His thoughts were interrupted as he collapsed on a heap, exhaustion, hunger and the cold finally getting to him as he just lied there on the ground, looking as if he's about to die.]

[Seeing her reaction, he immediately reached out with his right hand, as if to make a gesture to stop her from doing that, but then he pulled it back right away considering his state of dress at the moment.]

I-it's alright! I don't really mind.

[...And then he answered her question.]

Well, we never really have nicknames for each other, we just got along well, I guess...

[There's a small smile at that, but hey, this is actually the first time he talked about his family in the tower.]

[no_longer_a_king]

Then let me put it like this:

If there was a name someone dear to you called you, that you hadn't heard in a long time, how would you feel if someone else started using that name? My foster brother was a bully and had a mouth to him, but we were close and I have not seen him in a long time. [And she would never see him again.]

....what was your family like? [Since talking about his family seemed to make him happy and she did not want the person she just saved to be miserable while stuck in this tent.]

[yougotthatwrong]

...Ah.

[There's a nod as she explained that, and well, he felt a little bit bad about it, but at least it's just calling out a different name than usual, than a bigger mistake like what he did with Maizono-san-]

We're pretty normal for a family, so there's not really much to talk about.

[Compared to everyone else, he had a really average background from before this High School of Despair thing.]

[no_longer_a_king]

Even so, there must be something that endeared you to them.

[yougotthatwrong]

...Just their warmth.

[He missed it, he missed the smell of his own house, the way his sister laughed whenever she's happy about something. His mom, his dad...

Yeah, he might've looked a little more sadder than before.]

[no_longer_a_king]

[Seeing the way he looks sadder makes her heart break, even if she doesn't show it. Still, she voices a thought on the matter because even if she's cold she's not heartless:]

...they must have been very special then.

[It makes it even more important to her to find a way to fix whatever is wrong with the worlds.]

[yougotthatwrong]

...That's why I want to find a way out of here, out of the school.

[It is a selfish wish, but to be honest, since it is shared with the others, isn't it just a normal wish anyways...?]
