[When Need next passes Nagito in the oasis, she will find a sticker attached to her clothes. It's a cartoon Makoto face with a speech bubble saying "YOU'RE DOING FINE!"]
[Need is just the kind of wary, paranoid soul to notice Nagito veering into touching range, and to not make it completely obvious. When he reaches out, she closes a calloused hand around his wrist.]
[Nagito doesn't resist at all. He will attempt to attach the sticker as best he can with his wrist held, though.] I'm providing everyone with hopeful motivation.
You can peel them off again. Unless you stick them to paper, anyway. Then you might tear the paper. [Though, personally, he wouldn't mind having a Makoto sticker permanently attached to him, except he wouldn't deserve to be a public billboard for someone so great. That's why he attached his own sticker to his notebook.] And I'm not trying to convert anyone, just encourage them.
she has a tremendous, contrary urge to tear the sticker in half but that would probably go very badly and be far, far more trouble than the moment of satisfaction would be worth.]
It's not a great idea to try and sneak up on me. [When she was younger and hadn't developed as much situational awareness, her reflex when finding someone unexpectedly too close was to take a swing. Same with sudden surprise, honestly. Need was difficult in her youth.] If I notice, I don't like it. Why are you creeping around for this?
Good for everyone. For me, I'd prefer some things be done in the open.
[After a considering moment, she heaves a sigh and accepts the sticker with a bit of a grimace at the feel of the sticky side on her fingers. And releases his wrist.]
Why do I feel like I'm accepting a talisman of Lurchan.
[Nagito isn't quite sure what that implies, though it sounds a little ominous, so...] I assure you Naegi-sama is the last person anyone would consider ominous or evil!
Oh, that's definitely not what these are. [He doesn't even have his luck anymore, and even if he could he wouldn't go around cursing other people with it.] If they're any kind of talismans, they're hopeful ones!
[she doesn't really feel like explaining that those talismans can only be transferred by someone taking them willingly. ugh. if there's ever a crossing that requires a memory of intense annoyance, she has something lined up already.]
At least you're having fun with it. How many of these do you even have?
[Nagito pulls out his sticker sheets. There are so many. All of them feature Makoto saying various motivational things.] Ferryman-san was kind enough to give me quite a few.
