~ Forgotten ~【Komahina】

Chapter 28 - Teruteru

'I... would like to be alone right now,' I say in a low voice, staring at the ground.

Komaru nods before walking towards the door. She suddenly stops. 'Makoto told me about Izuru... Just... be careful... Talent is a delicate thing...'

And with that she leaves.

I get overwhelmed by despair.

Hina, Yuta, Sakura, Chiaki... their deaths were all my fault.

I don't care. I don't care about hope. I don't care about despair. All I want is this to be over.

*A week later*

I've barely left my room at all this last week. Despair is taking over my mind. I don't know what to-

Teruteru will wake up soon.

I get slightly startled by the thought. Where did that come from?

Instead of making a physical protest, he'll just shout a lot. He'll probably try to poison us with his cooking though.

Okay, that's slightly worrying.

'AVRIL LAVIGGNNNEEEEEEE!'

Well, that'll be Teruteru.

'Hajime, are you okay?'

I turn my head towards Makoto, who was sitting on my couch. I expected him to say that.

'Yeah, sorry, I just... keep zoning out...'

He looks at me worriedly. 'If you say so...'

Should I tell him? Should I tell him about me predicting Teruteru waking up seconds before he did? Should I tell him about the battle of hope and despair going on inside my head? Should I tell him that despair is winning?

No... He wouldn't want to hear about that...

'Well... Teruteru is fine at the moment... He's sleeping, so you don't need to worry about him,' I say, without thinking.

'Did you check on him?' Makoto asks curiously.

I shake my head. 'No, I just... knew...'

Makoto looks increasingly worried. 'Hajime... Have you been... predicting... things all day?'

'Yeah, kind of...'

This isn't how it's meant to go... I don't want him to be worried... I don't want him to-

'I assume you've been doing this without thinking?' Makoto asks, interrupting my thought process.

'Ever since before Teruteru woke up,' I mutter, nodding.

After thinking for a second, Makoto speaks up again. 'You should get some rest... It's getting late...'

I nod and Makoto leaves my apartment, before I head to bed and fall asleep.

*****

Death is coming... Don't get too attached... you'll lose them all in the end...

*****

I wake up from another nightmare. Death is coming...?

I know what's going on.
