   || it was always interesting to converse with Kokichi. Nagito never guessed what the other would say. “ But…their talents are…” he weakly argued, letting out a sigh. any talent would be better than Ultimate Luck, he had extraordinarily good luck but also terribly bad luck. his life was pretty much torture or like a endless cycle of trauma and abuse. little conversations like this were his only respite. 

“ I wonder… many besides you have tried but I welcome you to attempt it. I have to warn you that it never went well for anyone else. “ he let out a joyless laugh as the light in his eyes dulled. memories of being exploited by others and the Committee’s strange tests done on him flooded his mind until he shook his head. 

when Kokichi said that about Fuyuhiko, Nagito’s eyes sparkled again. a soft giggle escaped as he imagined Kokichi and Fuyuhiko as Pomeranians barking angrily at each other. “ I feel like you two must be best friends then. If he can deal with your teasing without actually threatening your life then you must be very close. I’m…jealous. “ | 

Kokichi watched the other carefully. He wasn't blind to Nagito's reaction to his little joke. Kokichi couldn't have cared less about testing Nagito's abilities. He didn't believe in luck and, even if it were real, it was clearly not worth dealing with. "I have way more important things to do anyway. But if I ever find the time, I bet I can figure it alllll out."

"Best friends? Geez, guess you really can't tell a lie from the truth." Kokichi locked his hands behind his back, rocking on his toes with a mysterious smile. "I'm just too fast for him. Besides, whose afraid of his death threats?"

He was never certain about Nagito, what to think of him. He was confusing in a way Kokichi didn't typically find. Definitely not boring, but also a bit threatening. Like Kokichi might not know everything. Yet, he didn't run off just yet. He kept up his questioning: "So, what, you don't have friends? Or a 'best friend'—" he made air quotes with his fingers, "—or are you just surprised that I might?" He got that. A lot.
