He nodded once again at her question.

      ❛ Yeah, she saved us from gettin’ hurt out there an’
           she’s gonna help us get out. ❜ He explained to her,
           then a small smile curved upon pale, sharp features
           when Nanako returned the embrace. He gingerly
           squeezed the small girl in his arms, then upon her
           pleading, he pulled back to look at her. They had
           already lost far too many people, he didn’t doubt that
           Nanako was terrified of losing him next. 

❛Alright, I won’ touch ‘im. ‘m just worried
   ‘bout you. ❜

“I didn’t know she did that…”

Had Yukiko been shielding her from what the others had been doing this whole time? It was strange that everyone kept her in the dark from these things. But at least she was safe. At least everyone else was safe for now. When Kanji pulled back to look at her, she gave him a mildly confused look. Well that didn’t make much sense to her at all. Why was he worried about her? Nanako hadn’t been touched this whole time except for the beginning of Monokuma’s sick game.

“Why? I’m fine. I’m not sick…or hurt…I’m okay, Kanji-oniichan.”
