I passed the crossing line almost running. Didn't mind the sign light if it is in green or red light.

What's more important is to arrive early but because because I style myself for too long. I am now LATE AGAIN. and now I'm dead.

I looked at my wrist watch then to another crossing street. I immediately run catching the green light to be still.
While crossing a big truck  approached but thankfully it didn't hit me.
I continue running until I saw you sitting in a restaurant while checking your wrist watch and frowning.

I stopped and fix myself.

As I walk casually to where you are.

I was about to reach the door handler when a man suddenly reach it making me shove aside.
I frowned and was about to speak when I noticed that this punk didn't care about me!
So I massaged my temple before I enter.

I walk straight to you and occupy the seat in front of you.
I smiled sweetly but you just avoid it and looked at your wrist watch again to check the time.
I pout and about to speak when you suddenly murmur

"I'm gonna sue that hamster when he arrives! Agh" you murmured in frustration.

I was surprised by the things that came to your mouth.
I watch you check your wrist watch for the third time and frowned. You tilted your head at your right side when your expression suddenly change into confused one.

"Oh?" You utter out of nowhere.

So I looked at the place where you're looking at.

There's nothing wrong about it. It's just a random people gathering at the center of a street and a big truck with.

I shifted my eyes on you and still you were looking outside.
I leaned my back against the chair I'm sitting in.

I think the things you said a while ago. Are you pretending that you didn't see me or just playing around?

"How did that man got hit?"

I heard he passed by without checking the green light and unaware of a big truck coming."
"Is he in a hurry?"

"Yeah I think so."

A passerby said having a conversation with each other.

I got halted and look at you and there you are staring deeply as you get your things and immediately dashed out.
I called for you and but you didn't even bother to looked back.

My heart beats fast as I follow you until you stopped in the middle of crowded street.

I walked near at you and got surprised by the water flowing on your pinkish cheek.
Looking quietly, crying quietly. I tilted my head to see the reason why you are crying.

I froze. A man lying on the ground. Bathing in blood.

You slowly approach the dead man as you utter "K-kukuya..." our call sign.

Your legs weaken causing you to fall on a cold ground.
You reach for his hand full of blood as you held it tightly bursting in tears.

"Y-yah! Wake up! Y-you hamster looking tiger!" You cried.

"Y-you--- *sniff* h-hoshi please wake up. I p-promise I'll stop calling you hamster just please wake up." You sobbed as tear fell in my cheek.

And everything flash back.
