[ All Naegi could do was stay silent, his fists balled and turning white from how tightly he was clenching them as Togami revealed himself.
Honestly, he had hoped that they were wrong, even as he was putting in that vote. Sure, death wouldn't have been that much better than them being right about him being the mastermine, but at least then Naegi would have felt better knowing that he wasn't responsible for the nine deaths that had resulted from Monobear's machinations.
Instead, he feels utterly sick to his stomach. Togami was one of those whom he confided in, trusted in, bonded with...
Even with the proof in front of him, he can't bring himself to think of Togami as the one who locked them all away in Hope's Peak for his own twisted amusement. He still thinks of him as Byakuya Togami, one of the few people he could call friends here in Hope's Peak - and perhaps a little more - and the one person he knew he could count on despite his bitterly cold demeanor.
Naegi forces himself to stop that line of thought from continuing any further; he looks as collected as one could be under the circumstances, but his tightening fists and the undercurrent of anger in his tone belie what he's really feeling right now. ]
Funny, I don't feel like I have any reason to be happy with myself now...
