The Song of Sorrow...
The Song of Anguish...
The Song of Confusion...
Staring at Mika, the memories of our childhood with Naoki had appeared.
Flashback after flashback...
Insanity after insanity...
The tears overwhelmed me.
THAT MAN!
He had killed Naoki!
I watched on once more as Naoki's mother...
A tear exited from the corneas of her eyes.
Bloodshot, she appeared to be out of focus.
The suicide note...
The one Naoki had written...
Covered in tears...
It was smoldered in amber...
The color of a merciless killer...
I was indeed able to gain a somewhat vague yet quick glimpse of the note...
It had appeared to be a memo...
Naoki's mother slowly emptied out her belongings as I had felt a swift wind behind me...
It had overwhelmed me...
The feeling; the emotion of Fear...
"You," she cried over to me. "It was you... Wasn't it?"
She had appeared to be grasping onto something of the weapon-relatable sort, beneath her handkerchief.
Although pearly-white in the twilight of the evening, the shimmer of metal against raindrops...
A KNIFE!
"This is yours... Isn't it?"
She held up the butter knife...
Glistening in rusted crimson...
Then...
My subconscious had overcame me...
Mentally...
Physically...
It had never been Ruka...
