Me and Makoto just sat on the bathroom floor hugging each other. I still felt like I was bothering him in some way but he kept reassuring me so I guess i'm not? Makoto rubbed my back as I stared at the floor. I stopped crying a few minutes ago, which I was thankful for. I barely cry in front of people but Makoto didn't seem to mind.

"I guess i'm paying you back huh?" Makoto said softly. "what do you mean?" I looked back up. "You helped me with my nightmares and now I helped you with your panic attack" Makoto said with a slight smile on his face. "You didn't have to" I mumbled. "Well I did. Everyone needs help every once in a while" Makoto played with my hair a little. "...hm I guess" I said leaning on his chest.

Makoto continued playing with my hair and talked for a bit. His voice was soothing and before I knew it, I was yawning. "you tired?" Makoto asked. "A little. You?" I asked. He paused for a moment, "yeah I guess" he nodded.

"we should go back to the library" I said. He nodded and stood up while helping me up. My legs were numb from sitting down for so long that I almost fell. "whoa-" Makoto laughed as he helped me. We walked out of the bathroom and started going towards the library. "You're sleeping by the way" I said to Makoto. "Do I have to?" he asked.

"yes."

"why"

"sleep is good for people."

"plot twist. I'm an alien"

"..pftt" I started snickering. He also started laughing and soon enough we were laughing. "W-Well your not so deal with it" I said. "finee" he said as we walked in the library. I sat down on the couch with Makoto sitting next to me. "So are you okay now?" he asked me. I sighed, "I guess." I shrugged. Okay was an understatement but close enough.

Me and Makoto sat in silence. "If you ever need a shoulder to cry on you can ask me!" Makoto smiled. I gave a small smile back, "thanks. That's rather nice of you" I said. "Anything for you" Makoto rubbed my back. I exhaled "its 11 pm. We should sleep" I said. Makoto stiffened a little, "right" he nodded.

I raised an eyebrow, "Makoto I know your scared of your nightmares but come on they cant be that bad, right?" I asked. he inhaled sharply, "wellllll" he laughed nervously. He muttered something I couldn't hear. "huh?" I was kinda confused. "I mean Junko told me to kill myself in a nightmare before" he muttered a little louder.

"She said what?" I asked. Makoto laughed nervously, "yeah that wasn't fun at all" he scratched his cheek. "Of course it wasn't" I scoffed.

"Junko's annoying" I muttered. I mean come on! You end the world because you're bored? Why not do a puzzle or something?

"She is. But her hair is a little cool" Makoto shrugged.

I rolled my eyes, "Oh please she probably washes her hair every month" I said.

Makoto held in a laugh, "Don't let her hear that" He said trying not to laugh.

"If she hears it, fine. Let her." I said sarcastically.

"Why did she even end the world?" Makoto sighed.

"She was bored. Also despair I guess" I shrugged. Obviously it was a stupid reason. The girl needs mental help. Scratch that, she needs death.

"She's weird." Makoto muttered. I nodded.

"I wonder how she knows about your nightmares" I thought aloud.

"It is super weird. I never told anyone besides you." Makoto scratched his cheek and stared at the door. As if he was expecting for her to burst through and slaughter us.

"She's a bitch" I muttered. Makoto stifled a laugh, "That's a little mean don't you think?" he asked

"She killed my family. And like, half the world." I said.

"...true-"

"yep"

"yep"

...

"Let's go to bed" I said. Makoto groaned a little, "Really? Can't we talk a little more?" he asked getting a blanket and wrapping it around his shoulders. "You're stalling so no" I said. Makoto pouted a little but laid down without a complaint.

I also laid down and stared at the ceiling. My mind kept going back to when Makoto said that the Junko in his nightmares said for him to kill himself. He said it so calmly but the question is,

Did he actually consider it?
