How to Get the Conversation
While easily missed, the way to get this conversation is quite simple:

1. Choose to work at the library.

2. Continue to play the game as though you are pursuing Nageki's ending until the game gives you the option to "wish for the mad love of a fallen angel" at Tanabata to begin Anghel's route. (If this option does not appear, you haven't unlocked Anghel's route yet.)

3. Follow Anghel's path until your character decides to "be a Cultural Girl" and visit the library. When you talk to Nageki, Anghel will interrupt. Enjoy the resulting conversation!

Foreshadowing and Points of Interest (SPOILERS)
While this section deals with the video clip above, it also deals with major spoilers for the BBL route as well as Nageki's ending. If you haven't played the entire game, including the "true route," do not read this section.

Once you've played Nageki's route, and especially after playing the BBL route, this optional conversation has several interesting points.

Anghel can see Nageki. No other character in the game interacts with Nageki other than the player until BBL. Why Anghel can see him is unclear, but it's an interesting point.

This conversation contains foreshadowing for the BBL storyline, first with the reference to the 12 missing encyclopedias that will come up later as a part of the mystery.

More importantly, Anghel addresses Nageki as "Textoris Melodia Funus." This is almost identical to his name for BBL-time Ryouta, "Textoris Melodia Funeris."

These two names translate to "weaver of requiems" or "weaver of funeral melody." That Anghel addresses both characters this way suggests he can either sense the Charon Virus or knows more about what's going on than anyone else realizes. Keep in mind that his archnemesis in his character route is Shuu.

Either way, it's a cool bit of foreshadowing for the BBL revelations.

Ooh, I don't think I ever saw the one with Nanaki.

There's another easy to miss scene, with Nanaki and Shuu. If you join infirmary staff and pursue Shuu's route, but choose to spend time with Nanaki on every occasion, there's a scene in which main character stayed after lessons and then Shuu asks her to get him something from repository and locks her there, thinking she saw some of his experiments. But before doctor returns, professor Nanaki opnes the door and asks the protagonist to be careful around the doctor. I saw it the first time I was trying to complete Nanaki's route and I was sure him and Shuu were working together. But it makes more sense after completing BBL route.

I'd like to add on to this that in the Collector's Edition manga, Nageki actually speaks with Anghel in one of his 4komas. Nothing major, but it's neat to see some more of it haha. I didn't think much of it until just now when I realized that it was Anghel specifically. :HBReading:

I know Holiday Star used that idea and the main cast could see him.

I think according to Okosan, (in the manga) anyone with a "pure heart" can see Nageki and so far, only Hiyoko, Ryouta, Anghel and Okosan can see him.

i know this was posted 2 entire years ago but WOW, i thought i had consumed every piece of hatoful boyfriend content out there! i had never seen this out of all of my many, many playthroughs of this game on both the steam and non-steam versions.

both of the ideas that you suggested make so much sense, but personally i like the idea that he can sense the charon virus. though i think the latter idea is also possible considering anghel is killed by shuu in every other route except his own and BBL, so he probably knows a lot about what shuu's actually doing.

A little BBL spoiler ahead.
Thanks, this helped me to start the exhaustive BBL route. I was so naïve thinking "I've already gone through almost all of them, one more run would take me no more than 30 mintes! Perfect for killing a little time before going to sleep". It turned out to be a 5-hour nonstop playing, or rather observing, of a brilliant visual novel. I never saw that coming. :squirtooh:'ing and feels included, yeah.

I think you only need to choose to Study in the library on 08/30 to get the event.

I wish I could remember my choices better, then we could figure out the pattern for finding this through multiple routes together.
