[He's quiet again, though the arm around the other boy's waist tightens in response to a sudden flash of anger. Anger, tempered with concern. He's still angry about what the other teen did -- did to himself, but also what Nanami had to go through. What they all had to go through, even if Hinata personally hasn't experienced it for himself. What Hanamura had to go through, being manipulated by someone like Komaeda. Abruptly, but not for the first time, he's reminded of a guilty wish that Komaeda had been killed, instead of Togami.]
You did, though. [His voice is stern, almost scolding, a hint of that anger seeping through.] You woke up in the kind of place where... where you can get help. Isn't that "luck?" Isn't that "hope?"
You were always going on about being a stepping stone for hope. Don't you think... you can think of that disease as something like that? Something you can overcome to achieve a greater "hope?"
[Maybe... he can't help but feel if he maybe puts it in the same kinds of terms Komaeda himself uses, that it'll have more of an impact.]
