It's finally time to reap the rewards you've earned from all that hard work collecting and returning the Hope orbs! Be careful walking the streets during the small earthquakes, but feel free to admire the scenery as your beautiful city reassembles its way back into its former glory.

There are new houses where the destroyed buildings once were, and they're perfect for a single person or pair of lovebirds. In addition, you'll find that the electricity to these new houses, and all other homes and shops in the city is restored. The food is better, the monsters are gone- hey, this city might be livable again!

To cap it all off, we've got a feast waiting for you on the 19th! Come one, come all, and enjoy all of your favorite foods, drinks, and party games. It's been awhile since we've all gotten together to celebrate something good, so get your party on and toss all your troubles away!

It's....not that. [Friend. Yusuke actually thinks of him as a friend. Komaeda cannot comprehend why he would want to be but to hear those words fills him with such excitement, such joy...

It is too good to be true. And if it's true, it won't last......right? Yusuke will just find him annoying. Either that or something terrible might happen.

Alternatively, there is one other possibility. Which would hurt but...]

Ah....all of that is a joke, right? It would certainly make sense. I mean, who would want to associate with me? I'd prefer that you told me straight, though. That sort of prank is pretty hurtful.

Wait-- that's not what this is about at all.

[he's a bit wounded, not to mention insulted] Do you really think so low of me, that I would carry out such a cruel prank as that? I know what it is like, to have no one to call a friend, and I would certainly not mock anyone else for it.

Uh....[Komaeda does not know what to say at first. It looks like he is wrong. Not only that but Yusuke seems to be hurt by what he said. And Komaeda cannot help but feel a pang of guilt when he sees Yusuke's reaction. He should probably explain.]

Well, it would hurt but I certainly wouldn't put you at fault for it. After all, there is a massive difference between the both of us. I don't know why people would reject someone like you and frankly such people are fools. [His voice turns stern as he says this.] Someone like you, someone who is full of shining hope, doesn't deserve that treatment. Not only is your talent amazing but you are also incredibly kind. [And before realising it, Komaeda comes out with more which he initially intended to keep hidden] You don't deserve a life where you're forever alone.

It's not like me. There's nothing good about me and my talent causes chaos everywh-

[It's then Komaeda gasps. He has revealed too much and he has not been able to stop it. Curse his disease. This is dreadful.

Fear takes a grip on him and he grabs his arms tightly to control himself. He has to end the conversation right now or he is sure that something terrible will happen. Especially since there was that girl who said they were friends as well. Too much good luck at once.

He could lie and say it was all a joke. He managed to do that with Hinata and it worked - or maybe it did. He's not sure. He looked calmer then and he's clearly not calm now so he's not sure if it would work this time. Either way, he has to get out of here now.]

......Th-that was completely out of line. Please forgive me and ignore everything I've just said.

[Yusuke is struck silent, listening to that outburst with a shocked expression. But only for a moment. That surprise soon shifts to anger, and when he speaks, it's in a quiet voice.] ... The only one you should be apologising to is yourself. "There's nothing good about me" -- how can you think such a terrible thing?

[Yusuke looks away bitterly, his hands clenching into fists.]

You're a kind and considerate person, who always thinks of others before himself. And I won't just stand here and listen to you insult someone I think of as a friend.

[Komaeda expected Yusuke to be angry with him. This, however, caught him by complete shock. Yusuke was not distancing himself from him. Komaeda was sure that the other boy might get so angry that he would leave, which would hurt but was better than a more disastrous alternative.

And yet Yusuke was angry at him for bringing himself down. And while Komaeda still believed he was wrong for saying that, it gave him massive joy for it. And yet it felt wrong.

Tightening his grip on his arms, Komaeda began to murmur quietly.]........You really think of me as a friend?
