[Makoto keeps stroking Nagito's back gently as he talks. He understands. Even someone like him sometimes questions his worth due to their world's teachings and society. If someone as normal as him could question his own worth, someone like Nagito who had gone through so much, certainly could. It makes sense unfortunately. Let alone after going to a school that enforced this thinking of talent=worth.

He would always be grateful for Hope's Peak Academy for letting him meet his classmates but sometimes he wished it never existed. Still, keeping all his inner thoughts inside, he raises a hand to Nagito's head and gently strokes his hair soothingly.]


Listen to me, Komaeda-kun. You are so much more than just your talent. Your luck. I know our world valued talent over everything but talent doesn't determine your worth. It never did. It wasn't your talent that made us friends. It wasn't talent that made me risk everything to save you and your friends. It was our hearts. That's something no talent can replicate. As long as we are exist, we have worth.

It's okay if you don't believe me right now. But I hope someday, you can believe it at least a little. That you deserve happiness and are worth it. You matter.
