Your point of view
" Oh , thank you very much Y/N-chan !"
Kazutora spoke with joy while watching the new manga he had just received
Even though a window separated us , I could see the happiness in his eyes
" I'm glad that it makes you happy "
I admitted to him while smiling
" Are these the ones you asked me for ?"
I asked him hoping i wasn't wrong
" Yes , those are the ones "
He answered me without having taken his eyes off the 3 gifts that i had just offered him
" And ...have other people besides me , come to see you this week ? "
I asked him to change the topic of the new manga
I saw him put his new gifts on his thighs , then , he looked me in the eyes , with a small smile while nodding his head
" Yes , my mother came two days ago and Baji came to see me yesterday "
" What ? Kei came to see you yesterday !? Yet , i saw him last night and he didn't tell me anything ! "
Kazutora just shrugged his shoulders
" He surely had to forget "
Yes , that was the only possible explanation for why he hadn't told me about it
I decided to change the subject again to prevent this conversation from getting boring
" Do you know when you will get out of here ? "
I asked him by putting my right elbow on my thigh and resting my chin on my hand
" No , i don't know yet "
He answered me shaking his head
Poor guy , i really can't wait for him to get out of this place
" What will be the first thing you do when you leave here ? "
I asked him another question , impatient to know his answer
" I would go to the cemetery "
He answered me directly
" The cemetery ? "
His answer had taken aback me , what would he like to do in the cemetery ?
He nodded before aswering me
" Yes , i would go there to meditate on B/N's grave "
He caught me off guard , i expected everything except that
" See B/N's grave , is that the first thing you'll do ? "
I asked him to be sure i heard correctly
" Yes , this is the first thing i would do "
Even if i didn't show it , i was happy that he told me that
Before the death of my big brother , Kei and Kazutora were very close to him , he was their model
" And you won't go see Shini-kun's grave ?"
Even if it could hurt him , i had to ask him
He lowered his head and there was a few seconds of silence before he decided to speak
" To tell you the truth , i don't think Mikey will let me do this "
He lifted his head and stared me in the eyes
" What do you think about it ? "
I didn't know what to answer , i didn't want to hurt Kazutora even more , but the truth was that Mikey was very angry with him
It was my turn to lower my head to avoid my friend's sandy eyes
" I do not know what to tell you "
It always pained me to have to leave Kazutora
Often , tears rolled down my cheeks uncontrollably and that's what was happening right now
I tried to wipe away my tears , but more appeared every time
Kazu-chan was in pain
If only i had stayed longer with Shinichiro that day , none of this would have happened
I blame myself terribly !
But that , of course , i wouldn't tell anyone since i prefer not to disturb my friends with my problems
Takemichi's point of view
" The one who pushed you onto those train tracks was me "
Akkun announced to me
What !? So , he was the one who pushed me !?
" Huh ? "
" You definitely should have died then . But someone saved you . Tachibana Naoto saved you ! It seems like Tachibana Naoto actually knew that you were going to fall onto tracks at that time. "
" I know this is weird to say but ...could you by chance...be able to return to the past Takemichi ? "
Does he know my secret !? No ! It's impossible !
I started to panic inside trying to show it as little as possible on the outside
" And then , the past Tachibana Naoto wanted to help you "
" THAT'S IT , ISN'T IT !? IF THAT WASN'T THE TRUTH , IT'D BE PLAIN WEIRD , WOULDN'T IT !? "
" It wasn't a situation in which he'd be able to save you unless he knew about it beforehand "
He walked over to me , put his hands on my shoulders and shook me
I had to keep my calm
" RIGHT ? IT'D BE WEIRD OTHERWISE , WOULDN'T IT !? WOULDN'T IT !? "
" STOP IT !!! "
I cried out pushing him away
" WHICH OF THOSE IS THE WEIRD ONE !? WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT , AKKUN !? "
I didn't have to tell him the truth , i couldn't !
" You were someone who would sacrifice themselves for their friends . You were kind...and reliable...that's...that's why..."
At that moment , i felt tears starting to come out of my lower eyelids
" You have to be lying ! There's no way Akkun would try to kill me !!! Because we're friends !! "
I couldn't believe it , Akkun , my childhood friend would never have done such a thing !
I used my forearm to wipe away my tears
" Takemichi "
Akkun started
" One day , i became like this , you know ? I'm one of kisaki's
men now "
What !?
" Kisaki ? You mean ' kisaki tetta ' ? "
I asked him to be sure that i wasn't mistaken about the person
" All the members of Toman are Kisaki's men now . I haven't even seen Mikey-kun in years "
He explained to me while extending his arms , still back to me
" Akkun...It's not too late to leave Toman"
" HaHa...That's impossible...I'm too scared "
Scared ? But scared of who ?
" I'm scared of kisaki with every fiber of my being "
He stopped for a few seconds then continued
" Takemichi , the reason for Mikey's change was Draken and Y/N's death "
" Huh ? Draken and Y/N are dead ...?"
Then , he turned towards me
" They wasn't supposed to die , and here i am living it up with dirty money "
He said to me while climbing on the low wall at the top of the building
" I always admired you . You who would always stand firm even while crying "
He confessed while standing with his hands in his pockets
" Akkun...? "
" The one you want to save by returning to the past is ' her ' right...? That's the ' ultimate love ' isn't it ? "
What is he about to do ?
" Hey , get down from there , it's dangerous ! "
I advised him , but he didn't listen to me
" Good luck , Takemichi "
He turned his head towards me , tears were streaming down his face
" Save everyone , Mr. Cry Baby hero "
He gave me one last smile
" Stop Akkun !! "
I yelled , i didn't want him to do anything stupid
" Akkun !!! "
Just as i was about to run towards him , he jumped from the top of the building
" Akkun ? "
I rushed to the edge of the building and leaned over
I saw Akkun's body sprawled on the ground , blood was all around him
I was completely shocked , my childhood friend had just committed suicide in front of me and i couldn't do anything to stop him !
" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH !!! "
While Naoto was talking to the police , I was sitting on one of the stairs still in shock at what had just happened
" They want to interview me , right ? "
I asked Naoto looking at the ground
" Takemichi-kun , don't push yourself "
He tried to comfort me while putting his hand on my shoulder
" Just rest for a little while "
He advised me
" Naoto , while i'm being interrogated , find out anything you can about the day Ryuguji Ken and L/N Y/N died "
" Huh ? "
" It was ' Kisaki Tetta ' that turned Toman into the evil thing it is today "
I explained to him without lifting my head
" Naoto , i...DRAKKEN !! Y/N !! AND AKKUN !! AND HINA !! I WANT TO SAVE THEM ALL !!! "
