Caedey and Nick are put in a special needs class with Xenon as their homeroom teacher. Same situation as canon. They probably both have the same kind of disease.

Caedey was initially based off of Miu Iruma, who had a fixation on making inventions that could help you do stuff while you slept. People theorized that it was because she regretted the time she spent in a coma after being involved in a car accident. In Caedey's case, it's because she has Takane's disease: a form of narcolepsy that makes her want to sleep more than a normal person, as well as faint randomly if she doesn't get enough sleep. As a result, Caedey probably tries to compensate for her lost time by acting very bold and ambitious when she's awake.

Nick has Haruka's heart condition. Outwardly he's a nice, albeit timid guy. But as the year he spends with Caedey ticks away, he starts thinking more and more about his death. He knows that time is slipping away, and yet he hasn't made a substantial mark on the people around him. That is part of the reason why he tries to be nice and supportive; better to be remembered as a good person than a pitiful or horrible one

One interaction I've thought about:

Xenon lets slip that Caedey is somewhat of an internet celebrity. Simply put, she's a game dev and let's player. Caedey's been trying to hide the fact from Nick since internet culture is weird and she doesn't want to let innocent little Nick discover her channel. Except he does because he thinks the whole internet celebrity thing is cool and he wants to talk to Caedey about it. So he checks out the game she had announced she would play next. It's a shooting game

The next day, Nick shows up with the game and its console. He asks a fairly shocked Caedey to help him set up an account and that he wanted to play with her. She agrees with a bit of nervous blustering.

Nick customizes his avatar and the screen for choosing an username pops up

He types in "Niko"

Next is Caedey's turn to set things up. She customizes her avatar and, peering at Nick's screen, names herself "Okin"

"Oh! Isn't Okin 'Niko' backwards?"

"No, Niko is 'Okin' backwards."
