Loves
I'm pretty surprised that you have something like this... B-But, for some reason, I...I feel a little closer to you!
Why did you know what I wanted...? Could you be...Santa Claus!? What should I do...? I'm really happy. Thank you so much.
Thank you very much! I will treasure this for the rest of my life! For the rest of my life, I will never wash this hand of mine that received a gift from Hajime!
Likes
Is it really okay for me to receive such a wonderful item...? U-Um... Other than dying, I can pretty much do anything! Please order me around whenever you want!
For...me? It's been a while since anyone gave me something for free... I'm so happy. ...Thank you, Hajime.
OK
I-I'm terribly sorry...for making you think about me... But...I'm happy...
Is this...something you throw? Or hit things with? Ah, i-if I'm wrong, I'm sorry! Um...I'll make sure I take good care of it!
Ah yes, I take anything that you don't want! If you'd like, you can even call me a trashcan!
Dislikes
I-I already know that someone like me has no right to say this... But...if it's possible, I would really like to say no to that...
U-Um... Is this some kind of order...? If so, I will do my best to keep it but... Ugh...
Hates
I-I'm sorry! Please, not that... Anything but that...!
I already knew, but...it hurts much more when you show it so clearly with your attitude... I never knew you hated me that much...

Introduction (Page 1)[]
???
...
She's staring at me funny...!
Ah, uhhhh, um... Um...you know... ...
...I-I'm sorry.
Wh-Why is she crying!?
Bullying a girl... Not cool, Hajime.
...I didn't do anything.
Ah, so your name is Hajime... If it's okay with you, may I please remember your name?
O-Of course... I don't mind you remembering it, but...
M-My name is Mikan Tsumiki. Um... From the bottom of my heart, I hope we can get along.
Um...you know...
Um...um um um um...
Uhhhh...my mind is drawing a blank...from nervousness... And...I went through all the trouble preparing 5,000 different topics to discuss after introductions!
That seems excessive...
It's okay if you take your time and remember slowly. We'll wait as long as it takes. We'll wait for you forever if that's what it takes.
Huh... Aaaaaah!
Isn't he...just putting more pressure on her? Well, I guess I'll just ask you since I won't get anywhere asking her, so... ...What's her deal?
Ah, Mikan is the Ultimate Nurse. If you ever get injured, you'll need her help, so it's best if you get along with her now. If you get wounded and don't treat it, there's a good possibility you'll get an infection and die.
Don't say something so morbid so naturally...
Heh heh, hehehehe...!
Ah! I-I'm sorry for laughing so suddenly!
I-It's just...I can't help it. I'm just so happy, I can't remember the last time I made any friends...
Ah, not that you actually want to be friends with me! I'm soooo sorry I said something so...presumptuous!
I'll do anything you say... Just...please don't hate me...!
Bullying a girl... Not cool, Hajime.
Seriously, why does this keep happening?
I'm sorry...I'm so, so, so sorry!

Invite Mikan to hang out
...
Despite the fact that we decided to hang out... Mikan is acting suspicious and hasn't tried to look at me at all. Somehow...I feel like I did something bad to her even though I know I didn't do anything...
U-Um...
...Hm?
I-I'm sorry!
Wh-What's this all of a sudden...!?
I-I thought... You clearly looked like you were in a bad mood. D-Did I do something wrong again?
Wh-What should I do? Um...would it make you happier if I took my clothes off?
H-Hold on! Why are you reacting like that!?
You're right... You don't want to see me naked, right? Then, how about my money...?
S-Seriously, hold on!
Nggggh...I'm sorry...
It's no use... I feel like if I start panicking, the situation is going to get even worse. All right, I should just calm down first...
Hey Mikan. I just want to talk to you normally.
Talk? U-Um...um...
Today is such a beautiful day!
Y-Yeah...
...
...
I-I'm sorry... Should I...take off my clothes?
Seriously...you don't have to do anything like that...
This is troubling... I guess I should start talking to Mikan about something she might get excited about...
Favorite type of pizza
Um, what's your favorite type of pizza...?
I think pizza should be eaten...by everyone. You don't really eat it by yourself, right?
So...I don't really know. I'm sorry...
It's no use... That had the complete opposite effect...
Favorite type of guy
S-So, what's your favorite type of guy...?
It's Hajime! Obviously it's Hajime! So please don't be mad...
...It's no use. This is pointless...
Favorite bandage type
Um, Mikan... What type of bandage do you like the most?
Bandage...?
Let's see... There are a lot of different types these days. It's extremely convenient because there are waterproof types and sticky types... But I definitely like...non-elastic types the best. They're not too constricting...but they still firmly secure wounds!
I'm glad... Looks like she's getting into the conversation.
Ah...s-sorry. I...went ahead and started talking on my own.
Don't worry about it. I'm the one who asked anyway. Also...I feel like I got to know you a little more.
Really? ...
Um...then let's call it a day for now...
U-Um!
If it's not too much trouble for you, I would like to...talk to you again. It's been a while since anyone talked to me like this...so...
...Of course. Any time.
Th-Thank you very much.
Heh heh...hehehehehe...
We decided to go our separate ways for now... But for some reason, I feel like Mikan was staring at my back a little too long... She's not a bad person, but..I don't really know how to communicate with her that well.
For now, I decided to return to my room.

Invite Mikan to hang out
...
... Th-This is bad... If this silence goes on any longer...
U-Um... Did I do something wrong again...?
Seriously...you didn't do anything. I already told you that I just want to talk to you normally.
I see... I'm glad... U-Um... If you would like to talk, I don't really know what everyone likes yet... Well, um...there might be lots of things I'm not good at doing, but...I'll do anything so please let me know!
D-Do anything...?
Of course! I'll do anything!
...Hey, I don't think you should say something like that so freely.
Huuuh? Why? I mean...before we even arrived here, everyone else didn't seem to mind.
For fun, I tried eating strange bugs, and I let them use my body when there wasn't anything else to write on. Also, I had to be responsible for debts, and be the target for dart games, so...
Hmhmhm, I'm pretty useful, you know.
Hey, hey... That doesn't sound like a joke at all... How...can you be smiling when you were forced to do stuff like that...? Do you actually enjoy it?
Obviously, I don't want to do that stuff at all. But...if it makes everyone not hate me and smile at me, then it's much better...
Heh...hehehehehe....
For some reason...I feel this profound concern... Why...is she like this...?
U-Um...Hajime...? Um...um... Would you like to try it out, too?
Doodling is very fun. Please draw on me wherever you like!
U-Um... Also...I'm good at pretending to be a pig. I'll do it... I'll do it right now...
Just please don't look at me like that...!
Ah... S-Sorry... F-For now...let's talk again later. You need to calm down...
I-I'm sorry... I'm terribly sorry... I'll make sure to get it right... I'll make sure I get it right the next time...
So please talk to me again! Eeek! I beg of you...!
...Sure, I promise. So...I'll see you later, all right?
Yes...I'll be waiting...forever...
It's like I ran away or something, but... I should definitely try to talk to her properly...next time around.
I returned to my room, but I felt like Mikan was still watching me from somewhere...forever...

Free Time Event 3 (Page 4)[]
Invite Mikan to hang out
U-Um... About before...
It doesn't really matter. I'm sorry I had a weird attitude, too...
Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-You didn't do anything wrong. It was my fault. That's definitely it...!
W-Well...I'm trying to say it was my fault, so...
...Huh? Hajime, you look pale.
Huh...? R-Really?
Yes, your blood circulation looks worse than usual. Have you been eating breakfast? Have you been getting enough sleep?
Well, I've been eating somewhat... But I guess I'm not getting enough sleep.
I understand you can't help it since we're in this situation. But try to avoid consuming any stimulants before you sleep, take deep breaths, and do some light stretching.
Little things like that should help with the quality of your sleep. If you don't get enough sleep, it can weaken your immune system and lead to various illnesses. So please be careful. Also...
...Um? Is something the matter...?
No...I'm just a little surprised.
Ah... I-I forgot to get ahold of myself again...
I-I'm terribly sorry! I'm terribly sorry...!
You're wrong. You're amazing. As expected of the Ultimate Nurse.
...It's not that big of a deal. I'm just skilled at reading people's faces. I've been like this ever since I was young... I would get beaten up at school and at home a lot...
Since nobody would treat me when I was hurt, I just did it myself and eventually, I got good at it. That's...it, really.
B-But...I think you have an amazing talent for helping people. I mean, even now...you noticed right away that I wasn't feeling well, right? So, thank you for...caring about me.
... I...always treated myself for my own sake... But...one day I realized something.
Sick people and injured people...are weaker than me.
...Huh?
I mean...if you ignore a sick or injured person, they won't be able to endure the pain... And if worse comes to worse, they could even die, right? But if I know the proper way to treat them, that means my words are absolute. Which means...
They'll need me. They'll depend on me completely. That's why...I can't leave the sick and the injured alone.
Because...they always listen to what I say...
... I thought I was slowly starting to understand Mikan little by little... But I guess I was completely wrong.
I-I'm sorryyyyyy! Um, do you want me to buy you something to drink!?
Ah, I know! I'm also really good at imitating a sea turtle when she's about to lay eggs.
No...you really don't have to do that...
Huh? Why?
Um...if you don't feel well, I'll take care of you with all my might.
N-No! I'm fine! In fact, I'm feeling really energetic all of a sudden!
R-Really? That's great to hear...
If I show her any weakness, it'll be the end of me...
I kept talking to Mikan and avoided talking about illnesses. I was exhausted when I got back to my room...

Invite Mikan to hang out
Ah...u-um... Are you going to talk to me again today?
Mikan must be slowly opening up to me if she's actually asking me that...
...
...Regardless, I still feel nervous trying to think of something to talk to her about.
Ah...I-I'm sorry. I lost control of myself and said whatever I wanted...
N-No, it's fine. Asking someone if they want to talk is totally normal...
But...you were making a face like, "There's nothing to talk to her about."
She's pretty perceptive... Changing the subject probably won't work on her.
Just as I thought...I'm a nuisance...
No, it's true...I was worrying about what to talk to you about, but I wasn't bothered by that or anything. Besides, if I thought you were a nuisance, I never would've talked to you from the start.
Haaaaaaaaah!? ...
Ah, um... No one has ever said that to me before... Um... Thank you very much...
I'm glad... Looks like she finally understands what I was trying to say.
Um... Can I ask you about something?
Hm? I don't mind.
Hajime...did you like school?
You mean before I entered Hope's Peak Academy? Let's see...I didn't really like it or hate it... Well, actually, I don't think I liked it all that much.
Hmhmhm, I feel the same way.
This...is my first time feeling things like "fun"... I felt that for the first time after I met you all.
Well, right now, we're not really at school...
Even so... We're all working together and focusing on the same goal... For the first time, I learned that that...is very fun.
Hajime, I...I'm glad I came to this island. Because we're in this situation, everyone is finally acknowledging me... ...And I finally feel useful.
Thanks to this irrational, hopeless, dangerous situation...? I never thought I'd meet someone who actually thought about our situation like that.
...Hey Hajime. Do you know where you should target someone if you want to effectively torture them?
What the fー!?
It looks like I really have to answer this...
Head
Is it...the head?
You can't do that. You'll immediately kill them.
...
Stomach
Is it...uh...the stomach...?
If you target that, you might kill them right away if you make a mistake.
...
I don't know
There's no way I'd know that...
It's simple. You can target anywhere, really. As long as you avoid fatal areas like the head and stomach... There are areas that aren't fatal but still very painful, such as the shoulders and back...
You can punch and kick those areas, or even put a cigarette out on them. Repeatedly...over and over... But right now, at this very moment... Nobody is trying to do that to me...
Because of that...this place is like heaven to me.
M-Mikan...
Hajime... This is the first time I've ever talked about my feelings like this with someone, so...
Please don't hate me...
I-I won't. There's no way I'll hate you.
...Thank you.
It's not your fault... It's not...Mikan's fault...
That's definitely for certain. No matter what anyone says, there's no denying it. As I watched Mikan smile, I kept telling myself that over and over in my mind.
I parted ways with Mikan and returned to my room by myself...

Invite Mikan to hang out
...
Her silence seems different than usual. She looks like she's staring into space... Hey Mikan? Is something wrong?
Ah! Hajime!? When did you...?
I've been talking to you for a while now.
Really...?
Ah, I'm s-sorry for saying something so rude! Y-You're mad, right? You'd normally get mad right now, right?
No, there's no way I'd get mad about something like this.
Is that...normal...? Why...? Why isn't anyone pouring water on me, or throwing mud at me?
Does everyone hate me or something!? Is that why everyone isn't doing anything to me!?
You're still talking like that... It's not like that... Everyone isn't doing anything to you because they don't hate you.
But doesn't that mean that...they actually don't care whether I exist or not?
Nobody...cares about me...!
Maybe...what scares Mikan the most isn't violence or being hated... Maybe it's when nobody is interested in her at all...
I see... So that's why Mikan has been trying to avoid that, no matter what... I can't believe I finally realized that... What's wrong with me?
Hey Mikan... Of course everyone cares about you. Because...you're uniquely you. Stop looking at people's faces all the time, and try looking at yourself more.
Take a step back and pay more attention to your surroundings, and to yourself. Because you're just like everyone else. You're...our friend.
N-No, of course I do. Thank you very much... I...want to believe in you.
Because you...are the person who has forgiven me.
I know it's difficult to change all at once...but I really want her to change little by little. That's what I felt when I looked at Mikan's smile. I can feel a strong bond between Mikan and myself.
If possible, I want to watch over her just a little longer... Even after we leave this island... Because...it's not Mikan's fault at all.
After an enjoyable conversation with Mikan, I went back to my room.
