As soon as the sound of victory reaches the ears of the gamer, both her hands wrapped around the now shut off gaming console slowly lower their position.
A stern look forms on the high-school girl's face. Not that she was trying to express her confusion about the information given to her in this way, but rather her worry about what the gamer was told about.
A slightly dubious and scrutinizing look is what she gave the brunette as some kind of answer, which is followed by the lowering of the beige-haired's head.
What has happened when she was playing her video game peacefully? Did the stranger mention the word... survivors? What's that supposed to mean?
Deciding to at least make sure where she is at right now, she rises her head, baby-pink eyes scanning her surroundings. Nanami seemed to have ended up somewhere she's not certain where it is herself. Well, not that this matters that much, as long as she was at a place where she can play her games without getting bothered by anybody, she's fine with anywhere.
The inquiry about whether she's a former student of a certain academy which sounds awfully familiar however, grabbed the gamer's attention, which is noted by the widening of her eyes.
... A former student of... Hope's Peak?
... Hope's... Peak.
The academy's name sounded extremely familiar, yet she's not able to think about where she's heard about it herself. Nanami did remember that she apparently attend to that certain academy, but her memory can't tell anything else aside from that. That is all that she was able to think about.
It's as if the gamer has just realized that part of her memory seemed to have been missing for some reason. She tilted her head, wondering which part of her memory has gone off to nowhere.
Something happened in the past. That is true.
Something she didn't expect happened back then. That is true as well.
Something is missing in her memory but she can't help but to wonder what it is. All of these statements are true.
She's a student of Hope's Peak. So is this statement.
But why did the stranger say former...?
The gamer had to interrupt her own process of thinking by realizing how long the stranger's been waiting for her to reply.
"...My name is Chiaki Nanami.
Um... It's nice to meet you, Naegi-kun."
She ponders a bit before moving on, wondering whether it was alright to tell him about herself, giving the stranger another doubtful stare before opening her mouth once again.
"... I... am a student of Hope's Peak."
