Who: Nagito Komaeda and Drake
What: Komaeda returns to Hadriel from home.
Where: The Colosseum
When: February 10th
Warnings: Suicide talk, talk of self-harm, self-loathing talk, DR 2 chapter 5 spoilers

He shouldn’t be here. Not in Hadriel. He is supposed to be back on Jabberwock Island. He has a job to do back home. He has to die by the traitor’s hand. By that grenade. So he can eradicate despair and be the Ultimate Hope.

It’s what he can do, what he must do. After all, he and his classmates are monsters, worse than scum. He’s even lowlier than he thought. But at the very least, he can do his duty and destroy them all.

He’s not supposed to be back in this place. Why did the portal bring him back here? He’s supposed to be dead.

Is he dead? Did the poisoned grenade kill him? It’s supposed to kill its victim in the moment they breathe. Wouldn’t he feel intense pain beforehand, even if it’s for a moment? He doesn’t remember feeling any pain. Either way though, he’s alive here. Alive, with wounds on his arms and legs and a knife right through his right hand.

Why is he here? He's worse than trash. Why would the portal bring him here? Why did it not let him die or stay dead? Someone might discover him here. Maybe Drake or Wash or Akira. They might be worried about him. Which they shouldn't. He doesn't deserve it.

Besides, maybe he can slip away back to his house, in spite of his injuries. Maybe he can patch himself up, stay indoors for a few days. Then they won't know. Maybe.

Komaeda tries to push himself onto his feet, left hand against the wall. He cannot just stand here. He has to go somewhere to get his wounds treated. He can try and muster up the energy to walk, right? Even as he tries not to cry out in pain as he attempts to force himself up.

It's agony but he can't stay in this place. Not if he doesn't want anyone to find him.

Shigeru will shake his head as he finally gets a better look at Komaeda's wounds. They're not bad but they're certainly not good either.

You did the best you could with what was provided. But I can fix it pretty fast! No need for either of you to worry.

Shigeru will activate his powers there and then. A giant glowing purple sigil will erupt from behind Shigeru, and alongside that his eyes will shift to black sclera with purple irises as he holds out gloved hands over Komaeda's wounds. They'll start healing almost immediately, the skin and wounds knitting itself together as he remakes the cells of Komaeda's skin. It's after a few minutes that the other will be perfectly patched up.

How does that feel?

And I'll type Shigeru's name right this time darn it

Komaeda gasps as he glances at his left shoulder then starts moving his right hand. Shigeru is right. They are completely healed. He feels no pain at all.

"They're......all gone...." he says slowly, his expression almost a smile. He does not have a lot to be happy about at the moment. But in this moment he is. Now he can finally get out and do things. Instead of just observing the network and trying and failing to leave every time he thinks that this time he might be able to walk properly.

Komaeda moves off the bed and stands up. Yep. They're healed too. He can walk properly without falling over, any wounds re-opening or without him being in agony.

"That kind of thing will never not be amazing. Thanks, man." Drake smiles at Shigeru, seemingly unbothered buy the way his eyes changed and the sigil -- things he's not familiar with, but he certainly can't throw stones about being something other than human. The healer helped them, he's good in Drake's book.

But then he turns to Komaeda.

"Maybe now that you're feeling better you'll finally tell me what the hell happened."
