The hour: 2:53 PM. On the school attic, huddled in the shadows to escape the bullies, Nagito wept quietly. A sharp crash and a yelp shattered the silence. Hajime, having landed in an awkward heap, laughed at his own lack of grace. Seeing this, Nagito managed a small smile. A few moments later, as he helped Hajime up, Hajime took his hand. They walked over to a trunk full of forgotten toys. 'Let's play?' Hajime suggested, cutting off Nagito's budding doubts: 'Don't be scared, we'll put it all back.' The toys became their sanctuary, a brief salvation from the mockery.
