[He is pretty sure most people don't take so long to wake up. He had been about to express concern when Komaeda side swipes him with his words. Hinata jerks back.] What?! I was just thanking people for hanging out with me! That's not-
I wasn't-
[He scrubs at his face to give himself a moment. It's too late to hide how red his face is so he doesn't bother.] And I got them from the machine but they were obviously meant to go to everyone else!
[But he regrets giving Komaeda a knife. What the bell was he thinking?]
That's not what it was about! [He glares into the screen.] I'm not worthless!
[He given the wrong- Hinata takes a second to breathe. Again. He should have known better than to message him. But here he is.] I was going to get her one when I can anyway. She's my friend.
[They both are. Even if he doesn't remember one of them. This is a bad topic.] ....but, are you alright? It took you a long time to answer.
[And it's not like he didn't already mention that before, ignoring that he also dismissed it immediately after.]
But more importantly Hinata kun, birthday presents not given on ones birthday are sort of pointless. They're just a regular present then. And, it shows the thoughtlessness in being late. It's just rude at that point.
Do you really think so little of your friends?
I feel sorry for Nanami san... both of them.
But maybe with all this talk I should give them one too! I even know what to do.
With what money? [He digs for his id to pick it up and glance at the time. The blue light briefly illuminates his bedroom.] I haven't found anything that would work for either of them on Bajikan just yet.
[His memories remind him of what Kamukura had sensed in Komaeda but he sheds away from that. If Komaeda doesn't want to talk about it. He will keep that memory buried and this talk on other things.]
Didn't find any sort of general information on the fleet or the planet either. Just what we were told.
[Silence reigns. Hinata goes utterly still and quiet. He looks away and his voice is low, as he shrugs.] I'm not good at this either. Mine is usually forgotten.
It isn't. But that's fine. [He is used to his birthday being forgotten for that reason. The holiday is more important.] I'll make sure you get something this year. On time.
Anyway, try not to put too many weird ideas in her head. Or try not to do it before we all sleep. [Or he will wake him up again. And they'll have another weird talk.]
I only said that it probably meant nothing, but if she felt it meant the other thing then you might need to be locked up.
After all, don't people usually give things to people they're especially close to or like? Unless it's obligation.
Not that I know much about receiving gifts, even obligation....
So even if your gifts mean nothing, and you like to collect junk and bribe people to spend time with you, because you feel you have nothing of value to contribute, I will still cherish what you have given to me and our time together.

03/14 Right after he talks to Nanami [Video - Un: Hinatahaj]
[He is still exasperated and Komaeda started this. He can wake up too.] Komaeda!
[He looks like a rumpled mess. More than he usually does.] Why did you direct Nanami to me to ask that?
no subject
Hm....?
[Probably a bit longer than would be expected of someone his age.]
Hinata kun...?
[What was he talking about? What about Nanami? Oh!]
Ah... she had asked about birthdays and presents and wondered if you gave her presents because you wanted to date her.
[Okay that wasn't exactly what she said but it had been what his words originally implied.]
But you gave a lot of people presents didn't you? Even people who don't matter at all.
[Maybe Hinata can put two and two together now?]
no subject
I wasn't-
[He scrubs at his face to give himself a moment. It's too late to hide how red his face is so he doesn't bother.] And I got them from the machine but they were obviously meant to go to everyone else!
[But he regrets giving Komaeda a knife. What the bell was he thinking?]
no subject
Ah... how sad. Wouldn't it be better to just not spend time with anyone if you have to pay them off?
[Well it did have Hope's Peak's symbol on it, and having a small knife was useful.]
But now you've given the wrong impression, you'll have to give her a birthday present now too.

[That didn't really answer the question.]
Being slow to wake up should be expected.
[And it's not like he didn't already mention that before, ignoring that he also dismissed it immediately after.]

Are you that materialistic? Or are you simply that lacking in imagination?
[Handmade gifts were suppose to be more touching than just handing something you bought over after all.]
But then, I might not know what works and doesn't. It's not like I've gotten anything for my birthday in a really long time.

It would probably just get destroyed anyway....
But I'll keep your birthday in mind instead.

Forget it. I'm glad you had a good time and liked what I gave you. I'm going back to bed.
