[ and when the stalker moves his hands to choke daisuke, this is when naegi moves forward. ]
H-Hold on! Wait!
[ he'll try to take hold of the stalker's arms because look, he can't just stand here while he watches daisuke get choked. his strength might be nothing to write home to but he has to at least try or be a distraction or something ]
[ It doesn't look like the stalker is listening at all, going crazy with glee over the fact that Daisuke might die by his hands. Daisuke is fighting so hard not to let that happen, and he mouths over to Naegi to stand back. ]
[ naegi is hesitant to move back, to just leave daisuke alone, but this friendship is all about TRUST so if daisuke tells him to... naegi will do exactly just that. he'll let go of the stalker's arms and take two steps back ]
[ Daisuke usually isn't the kind of person to get violent, but his life is at stake here. His regret would have been that he hasn't tried his hardest. That's why he swings his foot back really hard to attack Krad's leg and jabs his shoulder with his elbow. Krad is surprised momentarily, weakening his grip on Daisuke. He takes that chance to get free, sprints ahead, grabbing Naegi's hand on the way, and he is running for their lives now.
Or at least, as much as he can anyway. His lungs feel like they're about to explode with the amount of running, adrenaline flowing, and the fact that he was just choked so it makes breathing even harder. He feels like he's going to pass out at any minute.
He just hopes they're close to home somehow by the time he feels like he can't run anymore. ]
[ naegi doesn't need to be pulled for more than a second before he catches up and eventually starts to lead. he doesn't know where he's going, not with all this thick fog, but by some great amount of luck, they eventually find themselves right outside their apartment building. naegi throws open the front doors and starts pulling daisuke through ]
We're almost here, Daisuke!
[ he has absolutely no idea if the stalker can follow them here inside the building but he doesn't want to risk it. they're going to run all the way upstairs (elevators always end poorly in horror movies) until they're home ]
[ Good thing they're both somewhat horror savvy enough not to take the elevator. Daisuke wastes no time in unlocking the door with his key. Good thing he has it this time. When he opens the door, the first thing he does is take off his shoes and plop on the beanbag chair face first.
Krad doesn't seem to have followed them with how quiet it is outside. ]
[ while daisuke does that, naegi shuts the door behind him but keeps his ear up against it, just trying to hear if there's any sounds of the stalker still following them. after listening for about a minute, naegi pulls back and lets out a sigh of relief ]
[ he looks over at daisuke (normally he would have laughed at daisuke with his face right into the beanbag chair) and walks over to the kitchen, pouring a glass of water. he then walks over to daisuke, kneeling down, and putting a hand on his shoulder ]
[ Daisuke lifts his head from the beanbag chair and sits up when Naegi offers him water. He mumbles a thanks before taking the glass of water and slowly taking a sip. He abruptly coughs after he drinks it, but he's trying to be careful about not spilling anything. ]
[ Daisuke gets up with Naegi's help, though it takes a great amount of effort to do so. He makes it to his room even if he stumbled here and there. At least there aren't any marks on his neck.
[ naegi will help him every step of the way, taking the glass of water and setting it on daisuke's nightstand. he'll try to wrestle the blanket under daisuke so he can pull it over him and make sure that he's at least covered ]
Don't worry about me, I'll be okay.
[ remember daisuke, naegi stays up and is pretty much a pro at it now ]
Just sleep in and we'll talk about this again tomorrow morning.
[ Daisue really regrets reading that one news that someone died because they never slept and is really afraid of how that would end up for Naegi... his fears get worse every day.........
But he's too tired to say no otherwise. ]
Alright... Good night, Makoto. If anything happens, please wake me up.

I think... I need to go to bed.

Yeah, you should get some rest. I'll stay awake, just in case.

Now he'll just do the plopping on his own bed. ]
Thanks... Don't stay up too late though.
