What would you do if someone tells you that they love you?
❝Who on Earth would...?❞
@makku-ruko:
How likely are you to hit a woman? You don’t seem like you have many limitations. Or rather it’s your words that you don’t hold back at all. I’m curious..
❝Why would I want to? I’m callous, not a barbarian. I neither condone, nor engage in, violence for it’s own sake.❞
@makku-ruko:
Brrrrr did somebody open a window?? Maybe a fridge? It’s so cold... oh wait. It’s just you~
❝Ah, yes. A very original comment, I’ve not heard it before. Have you anything else you wish to add? I’m very busy.❞
@kat-therines-blog:
I have a cruel question to the mun: how would Brainwashed Naoaki be like?
In a word: yikes.
So, you know how Nagito’s typical attitude gets taken to the extreme? Imagine that one someone who, unlike his twin, actually has zero hope for, or faith in, the world. He would likely subvert his brother by becoming some kind of “master”; in the way Servant interferes with events to allow for a hopeful outcome, Master undermines these twisted attempts in his own way. Basically, Towa City becomes a great big chessboard for the two of them, where they can play their games and see which side will win.
SDR2 But Nao’s There, Some Thoughts:
Beginning: It’s obvious (for obvious reasons) from the get-go that Nao and Nagito are related, despite the former’s sarcastic comment otherwise when questioned on it. Nagito insists on hanging back at the beach to take care of the boy who fainted, so Nao stays with him.
In-Game: Nao doesn’t make much of an effort to be friendly with the other players, mostly choosing to keep an eye on Nagito -- who, frankly, has never been stable, and Nao knows well that he’s prone to terminal idiocy under such stressful conditions. That said, he’s likely to be put in the way of at least a few others, and there’s nothing to say he won’t make a friend to two. I feel there are some who would actually appreciate his dry wit.
Blackening: Nao has less than no desire to participate in the killing game, even to save his own skin. He’s far too proud to simply do as he’s told under threat. That may change if Nagito is directly threatened, however. If backed far enough into a corner, Nao may be persuaded to commit murder, although he has no illusions of getting away with it. He sees through the trial, however, encouraging Nagito to step up and solve the case, if only to prove to the both of them that the younger twin is capable of standing on his own two feet.
Execution: It’s likely Nao’s execution would have something to do with being dropped from a high height, or buried alive. Alternatively, it could have a superhero theme, owing to his secret love of old superhero cartoons. It would also be the most painful for Nagito to witness.
Talent: Nao is naturally reluctant about revealing his talent to the group. They are, after all, calling the entity behind their predicament the “Mastermind”, so it could get a little awkward. (Hey, look, it’s the whole reason I worded his talent thus!!) Likely, he’ll lie and say he’s some kind of Ultimate Caretaker which, due to his cold demeanor, the others are a little mystified by. (Nagito knows better, though.)
Murder: I don’t see Nao falling victim to a kill under most circumstances, he’s too naturally cautious and suspicious of everyone. The glaring exception being if he tries to interfere with a plot to kill Nagito. In that case, it’s possible they get killed together. If Nao outlives his brother, however, he will instantly become noticeably quiet, more distant than ever, not speaking a word or contributing through the whole trial. He doesn’t even try to watch the execution. It’s pretty clear his spirit is utterly broken.
Endgame: Should he make it to the endgame without Nagito, his motivation going forward would be to create the world his brother dreamed of, even though he’d never cared much for hope or despair before.
Remnant: Yikes.
Canonically: Nao doesn’t attend class much, so it’s entirely likely that he just. Wasn’t there. When Junko started brainwashing the class. Typically - although, this can depend on the thread - I have him separated from the main plot of the game, working with the future foundation to find his brother and restore the world, and later betraying them and helping Makoto retrieve the remnants so they can be helped. (This is mostly because it doesn’t change the canon events of the game much, and makes it easier for new partners to get on board with a new character tbh.)
And Finally: A nice thought for you all. After waking up, Nagito finds Nao just sitting there. Expecting to be yelled at or admonished -- no, hoping for it. Knowing that he’s done so much wrong, and there’s no way his only family will ever look at him the same. Especially not no-nonsense, no-second-chances Nao. Who himself gets to his feet, walks over to Nagito...and there’s no scolding, no words at all, just a tight hug that seems to last forever.

“What about you huh? Don’t you need some gentle chiding too? Mister Mastermind.”
❝I think you’ll find I do not. Don’t you have somewhere to be? Like your own home? Or a cattery?❞
@kat-therines-blog:
Hm, I guess you are not telling us what you have been doing, are you? In any case, its good to see you again!
❝I sincerely doubt you’d find it interesting. In any case, thanks, I suppose. Didn’t realise I had a fanbase around here.❞
@kat-therines-blog:
*super happy* Naoakiiiii, my boy! How have you been?? :D
「 ...Whose boy? Just what are you so cheerful about? 」
❝Busy.❞
@makku-ruko x
OYAA~ SEEMS LIKE I’D FORGOTTEN YOU. BUT, IT’S PROBABLY FOR THE BETTER. I DO TERRORISE YOUR BROTHER AFTER ALL.
❝Yes, I’m well aware of your...extracurricular activity. As much as I hate to own to it, it’s probably good for Nagito to receive some gentle chiding. It’s normal for his age after all.❞

You know Nagito better than anyone, but did he ever do something you never expected him to do?
❝Did? Does. Frequently. Trying to predict what he’s going to do next can be like trying to predict the weather. I do wish he’d grow a spine, but…❞
❝It never ceases to amaze me how fast Nagito gives himself to people who won’t reciprocate with the time of day. To endure what he has and come out the other side so recklessly kind, is either the most admirable or foolish feat I’ve ever witnessed. Possibly both. Regardless…to tarnish such a unique quality would be unforgivable. I can live without a few certainties if it means Nagito won’t lose all his.❞
Aren’t you the one who wanted to find out the ‘bad’ things I’ve done? You go find out yourself. I’m tired of searching for things.
❝Well, you’re right about something, at least. You’re untalented. You’re unfocused. You’re lazy. You’re dirty-minded. You crave attention constantly. It’s true that my brother is too polite to call out the people he cares for on their flaws, so what’s his excuse here? If he truly disliked you, he would have dropped you like a bad habit long ago. Food for thought, Miss Cheshire. And for the record, I’m not trying to find out bad things about you. I accrue information on all of Nagito’s associates. Poor fool isn’t always the best judge of character, you know. When it comes to his beloved Ultimates, he will do about anything for anyone. But again – that can’t possibly apply to you, you don’t have a talent.❞
Hoh? Is that so? Well I can gladly tell you that that isn’t the case. I’m not one of the ultimates— the friend he can obsess over. He’ll squeal before you even poke him. I don’t get excuses made for me so have at ya~
❝…So that’s what you think, huh? Well, it’s not really my job to explain where you’re wrong, so why don’t you go elsewhere to figure it out?❞
*places a basket of chocolate eclairs and knocks on the door then runs away*
❝…Huh.❞ That’s it, that’s all he has to say. Honestly, it’s not the strangest thing he’s found on their doorstep, but it is, by no normal standards, typical.
@kat-therines-blog replied to your post “Hey, mister Komaeda! If you dont mind me asking, have you ever felt...”
Im sorry if i bothered you, I asked because i was worried
❝...Quite. Well, that’s rather a waste of your time, don’t you think? I’m more than capable of taking care of myself, so there’s nothing to worry about.❞
