Hmmm... That's a vague answer, don't you think? I'm sure that's why they assigned this title to me, hm.... I really would have preferred something cuter, though, something that would people would understand...

[ He presses his cheek against the back of Komaeda's hand. He can hear the ticking of the clock, and imagine the yet-unfinished letter in front of him. Yet, his patients are ever his priority. Even if they weren't, Nagito Komaeda would ever be his priority, and so it is that he lets his cheek rest there. But perhaps it's not the title at all. If only, if only Komaeda could understand what it was like to truly be a prodigy in that place... He lets out a little sigh, but it's happy, because the drugs have made him quite comfortable and there's no longer any sadness to be had. ]

Komaeda-kun resents people who are treated because he's afraid of happiness, right...? Komaeda-kun is afraid of what he'd be if he weren't who he is now...

[ He rubs the back of his hand with his cheek with another blissful sigh. ]

That's how everyone is... That's why I have to see your potential for you... Because no one else can.

[ He continues without meaning to, ]

I could cure anyone whether or not they wanted to... Ahaha, what would happen if I cured Komaeda-kun against his will...? He would be happy then, I know...

[ His eyes are half closed, holding Komeda's hand against his cheek, but the clicking of keys can be heard. ]

But I love humanity... And I love Komaeda-kun most of all. And so I want you to find your own truth and happiness.

[ It's the same thing he's always said, but it's different. The words are slurred, the tone lighter, as though none of it mattered at all. Bu tit's simpler, too - there's no fluff to it, none of the usual pretentiousness, just a raw and simple love of humanity and human potential as a whole. Truth, happiness, and other human concepts... He does want to liberate humanity from those. If he had one thing that defined him as the Ultimate Surgeon, perhaps that would be it.

Ahhh, what a miserable, ugly title... If only he had been given something cuter, perhaps he wouldn't be here... ]


Did you know, Komaeda-kun...? An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, so being obsolete is what would make me happiest...

[ Let his scalpel be a hobby and nothing more. ]
