[Makoto smiles encouragingly at Nagito's words, as he warmly rubs his arm up and down in a comforting pattern. At his question though...]
...It feels like I've lost something. Like a companion that has been by my side since the beginning. For both the good and bad. My luck wasn't like yours. Most of the misfortune that happened was targeted at me instead of others. That misfortune brought plenty of shame and embarrassment but also kindness and sympathy from others. And I haven't forgotten how my luck saved my life with that door.
[He frowns slightly at the memory of the door and what it meant. What it had proved. Letting out a breath as he lets it go, he looks back at Nagito and smiles at him as he continues.]
But I also feel free in a way. Like I could fly without burdening someone. The things I wasn't able to do before. I'm certainly more physically coordinated at least!
[He laughs at his joke before continuing.]
Talent doesn't define us but it sometimes cages us in a path we might not want to take. Now we're free to choose the path we want to take. And that is something worth treasuring, despite some growing pains.
I will miss it sometimes I'm sure, but I think we will be able to soar through the sky instead of being stuck on the ground. Komaeda-kun...
[He embraces Nagito again as tears fall from his eyes.]
Let's fly together. Not as SHSL Luck Students, but as Naegi Makoto and Komeada Nagito.
