I wonder how much Izuru still shows through in Hajime. And how noticeable it is.
I've always thought of it as a kind of state-of-mind thing.
Like, most of the time, he's just Hajime. Regular, ordinary Hajime, short-tempered and sarcastic and still so caring. Still the same guy that gets wrapped up in the dumbest shenanigans because as much as he likes to quip, he doesn't like saying no to others. And he's taking care of all of them, taking care of the island trying as hard as he can to ensure everyone's recovery and health.
But there's something unsettling about it, the way he picks up new skills with such speed and grace - there's usually a bit of a learning curve on things he's never tried before, sure, and he can't quite outclass anyone in their own talent ... But still, it's a bit intimidating to know that whatever you're struggling with he could probably do blindfolded.
And it's the little things, too. He's not quite the same Hajime he was before. Before he was awkward, and kind of clumsy. Now he never stumbles. He never forgets a word, or misspells one, or mispronounces something. He never spills his drink or stubs his toe. He avoids drawing lots and playing rock paper scissors, when the others are divvying up chores with games of chance he won't participate. If offered, he'll just wave them off and say he'll take care of whatever chore it is - and he plays it off like he's just trying to be helpful, but they know why he's dodging it, they know that no one but maybe Komaeda could ever win against him.
And then, sometimes, when he's focused on a difficult task, they can see it setting in. His eyes glaze over, and his hands work unnaturally quickly, effortlessly. His expression falls, his posture stiffens, and he's lifeless, listless, mechanical. And it's creepy, it's unsettling, but they know that when he's done he'll just smile and go back to being just Hajime.
And rarely, very rarely, he's not doing a difficult task when it happens. He isn't doing anything. One of them will walk into a room looking for him, and immediately sense that something is just ... Off.
He's sitting there, still, not occupying himself with anything, staring off into the distance. Expressionless, motionless. And when they talk to him ... He responds as normal. He talks quickly and jokes and makes facial expressions as if nothings wrong - but as soon as the interaction is over he falls again, goes still, and they can tell he's just putting on an act to not make it weird for them.
And when he's left alone, he'll go about his daily tasks. He'll finish them far too quickly. He won't initiate conversation, won't join on any group activities. They know they can interact with him and he'll act normal, but even the act just feels creepy with the knowledge of what's behind it.
And it's unfair, really, to call that Izuru. Because it's still Hajime, there's no memory loss or dissociation or anything like that - it's Hajime, just the same. But it's creepy to think that the same guy that was laughing along with one of Kazuichi's stupid jokes or trying to comfort Mikan through a panic attack an hour ago is suddenly so dead in the eyes. They still call him Hajime, still treat him as normally as they can, but it's hard, mentally, not to think of it as a different person altogether.
It's temporary though. Just a mood. A state of mind he gets in and out of, rarely and for a short time. He comes back around eventually and it's visible, watching the light flow back into his eyes.
And then he's just Hajime again, regular, ordinary Hajime.

can you do a letter from angie yonaga to izuru kamukura? they’ve been dating for a few months, but during the winter break angie’s gone back to her island to see her family, and misses her partner :( also if it’s not too much of a bother could you write angie as saying “god” rather than “atua” and use gender-neutral pronouns for izuru? thanks so much in advance!
(also, can i be the wilted anon?)
That's an unexpected ship! also np you can be wilted annon!

To my sweet Izuru
How are you doing on your break? I hope that even without me around you're having fun. Before I left I heard that you didn't have any plans so I'm wondering what you're doing. God inspired me to write this letter so I don't have to wait until our next meeting! Not only that if by next break you happen to not have any plans I insist that you join me and come visit my home. Someone like you would be the perfect fit! I don't think keeping my lover's identity a secret is necessary so that's why I told them all about us and so many of my friends wish to meet you. I just miss you so much I don't think I can stand being away from you during every break! I hope you don't mind me making plans ahead.
Talk to you soon,
Angie ❤️

You know what one skill I think Izuru would genuinely enjoy employing?
Meditation.
The point of meditation isn't to be fun. It's not to be interesting. The satisfaction in meditation is not dependent on overcoming some kind of challenge - the less challenge and resistance you feel, the more satisfying it is.
There's nothing to predict. There's no unexpected variables, no excitement. It's the one activity that is designed not to combat boredom, but to make you sit with it. Learn to appreciate it.
I can easily see Izuru spending hours meditating. He certainly has the talent for it, he can empty his mind and hone in on his breathing and that, at least, would make the time go by quicker without the constant awareness of seconds passing.
And besides, in the wake of all the experiments, I can only imagine that he is plagued by not only constant racing thoughts, but also bodily aches (remember it wasn't just his brain they altered, but his whole body).
Meditation would give him a way to face those things head on, and take them in, get used to them, and then let them go. Finally quiet them down. Feel himself relax, for once.
...Besides post-game it would be a REALLY useful skill and habit for Hajime to retain, what with the amount of stress induced headaches the others undoubtedly give him.
