[That actually gives him pause. He hadn't been expecting to hear about how he was with the rest of the class. He wouldn't have expected to hear he had participated in any activities with everyone else. But... something had definitely happened. He didn't believe there was an alternate universe at work here, there was something off about that idea to him. He would figure it out though. He would figure out how they all fit together somehow.]

You shouldn't blame yourself if I'm not included in things, it's only the way things should be. You know, when I got the acceptance letter I tried to turn it down. They wouldn't let me, but that doesn't change that I'm not really worthy of being around such great people. And if anything had happened because of me... that would have been a tragedy....

[And then he thought of something for the first time, a pain struck him in the chest from the idea. What if... what if whatever happened to them had been his fault... because he was even there?]

But... something happened to us, during school or shortly after. But I'm glad to know that at least Nanami san [Though he was talking about both of them here] is pure.
