After Masato Keita gets into a car accident, he spends a year in a coma. When he wakes up, he finds out that he has gained a rather strange ability: he can hear people's thoughts when he touches them.
Disillusioned with the people around him, he dec...

Not even five minutes after Asakura-san left, the doorbell rang. Thinking it must have been him returning because he forgot something, I opened the door without checking beforehand.
"Asakura-san did you forget... something?"
My voice slowly faded, the last word coming out as a little more than a whisper. There, in front of me was not Asakura-san, but Kurosawa-san. His posture was rigid and his expression looked dejected.
"Kurosawa-san! Why are you here?" I asked while inviting him inside.
"I had something to talk to you about." He replied quietly. Even his voice sounded rather gloomy.
"What a coincidence. I also wanted to speak to you about something."
"Is... is that so."
He gave me a faltering smile. Though he was trying hard to hide it, I could see the flicker of pain in his eyes. He somehow made me think of a wounded puppy.
"Should I get you something?" I asked, trying to put my thoughts in order before continuing.
"No, I'm good." He shook his head, then pulled out a few sheets of paper from his bag. "I read what you've sent me and it's good. The plot is evolving nicely. I only had a few remarks, you have them here." He finished, handing me the papers.
"T-thank you, Kurosawa-san." I said taking the papers from him. "I didn't expect you to finish reading it so soon. It's only been two days since I sent you the chapters."
"I... I wanted to get it done as soon as possible."
"I see. Well, if there is nothing else, I have something to..."
"Masato-sensei, wait!" he interrupted hurriedly. "I have something else to say."
I stared at him quietly for a moment, then nodded my head slowly.
"Go on. I'm listening." I leaned back into my seat. There was no need to be impatient.
"Uhm, I wanted to tell you personally that..." he shifted uncomfortably, his eyes avoiding to look into mine. "I will talk to Kota-san today to replace me as your editor. Today is my last day in the company."
His words fell like the crack of lightning and the booming of a thunder echoed inside my head. His last day in the company? He won't be my editor anymore? What was happening?
"Kurosawa-san, what is the meaning of this?"
I could hear my voice trembling and even my hands were shaking slightly. This was just too unexpected. Out of the blue he simply decided to quit and run away? That's preposterous! As if I would allow him to do that. Before he could open his mouth and give me a reply, I continued speaking. Though my voice wasn't loud, it sounded sharp and cold like a sword's blade.
"Did you forget we are a team? How could you just decide to give up the task and run away?"
"I am not running away." He interjected, his voice sounding slightly desperate.
