Mikoto Kayano(+Orekoto/John and Midokoto)

(You are Fuuta Kajiyama 3rd prisoner of Milgram)

Fuuta is walking towards his own cell when he overhears Haruka and Mikoto talking. Fuuta stops to hide because no way is he joining and keeping up small talk, but he instinctively eavesdrops on the conversation.

"Mikoto-san. Um, are you ok......?" Haruka started, uncertain of how to exactly ask.

Ok maybe not small talk. That sounded like genuine concern....... Fuuta thought to himself.

Mikoto jumped slightly and put on his characteristic sheepish smile. "Ah, Haru-kun. It’s been a while since we last talked, huh. Yeah, I’m fine. Are you doing ok......?"

There is no way that idiot is really fine but oh well- Can they finish this up quicker so I can avoid human interaction.

"Ah, I’m fine. I’ve been enjoying myself, a lot. Um, I’m sorry, for avoiding you. I was a bit scared. Of you, honestly......" Haruka mumbled.
Hah... easy for the ones who have been voted Innocent by the guard to have a good time while the rest of us suffer- and yeah valid reason to avoid Mikoto for real. Especially after hearing he almost killed that stupid guard Es, like violence is for the weak. And I'm totally not scared myself of course-

Mikoto swatted at the air, making light of the situation. "Ahhh, yeah. I’ve been lashing out whenever I go to sleep, right? ......it’s fine. Even I think you’re right to be scared. You know, I kinda just hate that I don’t even know what’s going on myself...... haha."

How does he-? Nevermind- I seriously don't know what's wrong with this guy. Is he bipolar or something? Or just loves pretending he is still a calm and friendly guy... like why hide being a violent jerk or serial killer if everyone already thinks that......... or is it more complicated?

"..." Silence filled the hallways.

Damn- awkward- andd of course he immediately starts talking to cover up the awkward atmosphere-

Mikoto straightened and cleared his throat. "Ah, but despite all that you still came and talked to me because it’s my birthday, right? Thank you, you’ve grown into a good man."

Oh. His birthday... right. That makes me remember last year when we talked- he said he felt bothered by certain thoughts... to be honest that must have been the only serious conversation I had in a while even before comingto this shitty illegal prison................

Haruka has by now left to his own cell because the conversation was seemingly over.

...

Fuuta then finds himself walking up to Mikoto.
