The doctors refuse to give us updates on Kokichi no matter how many times I ask,
they only seem to give the same answer,,,

"Not today Saihara-kun."

I just want to apologize to him,
but at this point I'm starting to doubt that he'll ever wake up...no matter how many times I try to shake the possibility out of my head it's hard to not consider it.

"I'm sorry Oma-kun..."

I'll never get to apologize to him... I felt something grab my shoulder I jump out of instinct accidentally back handing the mysterious person,

"OW!"

I spin around apologizing over and over

"It's okay Saihara-kun, I'm the one who should
apologize for sneaking up on you."
They sounded kind, like the voice from a fever dream.
Slightly recognizable and yet so hard to actually remember,
I look up and meet Kaedes gaze, KAEDE?!?

"Kaede?!"

"Hi Shuichi."

Her smile radiating like a sunny day,
she was so determined that it was so hard to not like her.
I missed her so much that I couldn't help but cry,
I felt her pull me into a hug.

"Don't cry Shuichi, you tried your best to keep us safe. I'm sorry that I couldn't help you longer, but I'm here now."

I nodded and couldn't help but continue to cry into her arms.
She showed me what true hope was and gave me the determination to continue and now I get to see her again,
I couldn't stop worrying about Kokichi even though I tried to stop.
I push the thought out of my head though and close my eyes allowing myself to melt into the hug.
