🗒 Past Hajime and Present Hajime
During Kamukura Project, Hajime’s original personality was completely erased through brainwashing, and a new one constructed based on his memories and personalities took place.
During the simulation, New World Program was only able to retrieve the version of Hajime’s personality that had been created during the experiment, as his original self no longer existed to be restored.
Even though the new personality was constructed based on his old self, it did not develop exactly the same way the original personality would have which may explain his sudden attraction to Nagito. The start of the simulation was the point where he resembles the original self the most and started to diverge from there.

Hajime’s original personality liked Chiaki, while present personality likes Nagito.
Even if Chiaki were alive, present version of Hajime would not love her the same way and would still be attracted to Nagito instead.

Unlike their encounter at Hope’s Peak, they were more open and true to their feelings as they believed that they both are Ultimates.

Hajime was instantly attracted to Nagito, who had been so gentle and made his worries go away, but he did not realize it.
He’s curious about him and wished to know him better.

“No...how should I put it...? I was just thinking about all the ways you've been helping me so far. Th-Thank you..”
“But...thanks to him, my feelings are lighter than they ever were.”
“Nagito is laughing in a carefree way. But seeing him laugh like that was enough to distract me from my worries.”
“Well, I guess it's too early to say. I need to get to know him better from now on.
I hope we get to understand each other better, even if it's just a little bit at a time...”
“He's really hard on himself, but he's really calm and easygoing. We get along well and being with him brightens my mood. I just want to get to know him a little better.”

Nagito was intrigued with Hajime at the first glance and found himself worried about Hajime’s well-being.
Something about Hajime made him feel at peace and he felt like they are “similar”.
</aside>
“Hey, are you sure you're okay?
Th-There's no way I can leave someone alone when they look that pale...”
“Hajime...are you feeling sick?
I see...then it's okay. I thought you looked pale or something.”
“I feel so calm around you. I think it’s because you’re the first person I spent time with on this Island.”
“What about the Ultimate Serenity? Hmm, I'm pretty sure the ability to bring serenity to others just by being there is really amazing...”
