[Nanami draws herself up even though it's only her voice coming through. Tries to make herself sound firm, but not too forceful.]
Yukizome-sensei and everyone... All of you chose me to be the representative. It's my responsibility to take care of you all. If you're like this... Where something bad has happened even if you don't want to tell me what it is... Then I haven't done what I'm supposed to. [And her voice drops into something softer.] So I am sorry, Komaeda-kun... I can't fix whatever happened. But I'll try to be better now, even if I'm still learning... Both how to be a class rep, and also how to be a good friend.
[It's probably good he can't see her face, because otherwise he'd see Nanami's face dust with pink.] I... really don't know if I'm pure or anything special like that. I'm just me. Nanami Chiaki.
I... want to ask, though...
[She hesitates. Wonders if she should say it or not, and remembers Hinata's gentle words to her. "Nanami, it's okay to have brought that up. It's just too much right now. That's all. We can talk more about it once we sort out a few things about this place."
Nanami takes a breath, and decides.]
What happened to us? [A puzzle piece slotted into place. Uncertain but concerned.] Is it... the reason you have that heaviness in your eyes?
