Work Text:
naegi makoto is tired.
ultimate hope is a tiring title.
future foundation is a tiring place.
but he has to keep going.
for hope, right?
for hope.
“naegi-kun, are you okay?” asks kirigiri.
makoto smiles at her. “i’m fine, kiri.”
“alright, then.”
she doesn’t see. she doesn’t see. she doesn’t see.
makoto goes on a call with komaru and smiles and laughs.
he hangs up and cries and cries and cries.
for hope, right?
it’s all for hope, isn’t it?
he’s doing this for hope, isn’t he?
so why does he
feel
such
despair?
he’s asked to speak with one of the leaders of the kisaragi foundation. otori teruya has the same type of exhausted smile as makoto does.
they talk politely,
sipping cups of tea.
for hope,
for hope,
it’s all for hope,
right?
right?
