nagito's been acting, different... recently.. but the others can't their put their fingers on it, so they decided to visit nagito's cottage, hajime gently knocked on nagito's door.

hajime: "nagito, are you in there? You haven't talked to us in a while."

ibuki: "yeah! Oh! And teruteru made breakfast for you incase you're hungry :3"

there was no answer, the others got concerned.

hiyoko: "why isn't the weird hope freak answering?"

chiaki: "maybe he's showering or something, give him some time."

chiaki said, trying to reassure everyone, but they were all concerned and worried for why nagito wasn't answering them.

teruteru: "I wonder what he's doing in that shower~ 🤤🤤"

fuyuhiko: "goddammit.. you're not helping."

sonia: "I am genuinely concerned for nagito's well-being though.. he hasn't talked to us in days.. or weeks.."

after like a moment or two, nagito finally opened the door, his eyes looked red and puffy (he had another breakdown earlier), and his hair looked messy, and his skin looked pale.

Nagito: "oh.. it's you.. you shouldn't really.. being visiting.."

he paused, it was obvious he didn't feel like calling himself "scum" to the others, in nagito's eyes, his friends looked different to him, they looked.. weird.. (yeah his mind is playing with him again), hajime head was replaced with an eye, chiaki head was replaced with a TV with static. Etc. Nagito's vision was getting more disoriented and disturbing by the second. He barely saw them as his friends. He just saw them as weird strangers with objects for heads. He seemed extremely desperate for comfort as he took a few clumsy steps closer to hajime.
