It was an easy pick to decide on just who to intercept, because of all the people Nagito had observed, Chiaki Nanami was the only one who'd always stop by the hotel lobby every morning to play the same arcade games. There was Gala Omega, Road Warriors, and a few other titles that Nagito didn't quite recognize.

Chiaki always went for Gala Omega in the mornings. Even without the Gala Omega spaceship hair pin affixed to a lock of her hair, it wasn't rocket science to know just which game she preferred to play the most.

Which is why, when she came into the lobby with tired, blossom-pink eyes and her normal white button-up shirt, teal-gray hooded cardigan, and beige pleated short skirt looking like she'd just tossed them on, Nagito was already at the machine.

"Oh." Chiaki greeted, squinting as Nagito turned to wave at her- losing a spaceship in the process. "Hey, Chiaki! I thought I'd try my hand at Gala Omega, though I'm not doing too good. How are you this morning?"

Anyone else would have just let him have it and walked off. Anyone else would have just gotten slightly annoyed and left. Not so with the Ultimate Gamer- instead, Chiaki shuffled behind him with only the word "Sleepy." given in response. Her eyes flicked to the screen before him, and he went back to playing.

"When you die, can I play?" She asked, and for a split second, Nagito forgot she was talking about the game as she leaned into him, gaze inquisitive. Chiaki knew something was up. He wasn't stupid, and she wasn't either, but he doubted she knew exactly what the scheme was.

"Oh, sure! Although, if you want, we could play this on two player- or play a few rounds of Road Warriors. I've been trying to get to know people better, and I'd love to see your talent up close!" That helped lower her guard- at least, he thought it did, as she yawned.

"You pick. I'm fine with whichever." She whispered, before letting loose a light snore.

"Chiaki." Nagito muttered. "Can you wake up? If you fell over, that'd reflect badly. I can't lift you up to new heights if you crush me."
