Dear Draken,

I'm sorry.

You might say I don't have a reason why I have to apologize. But I just want to anyway. So much happens and sometimes I'm unable to do anything. I always say I'm going to save everyone, but I can't and if I end up unable to save someone who you care for, I want to say I'm sorry.

But moving on from that... I admire how you're always there for Mikey. I guess that comes from being friends since you were young. But there's a chance you'll both fade away from each other.

Please don't get offended by this, I don't mean anything by it! Just... a piece of advice for the future.

I want to be honest with you and tell you something that is always happening in the future. No matter what, Mikey always leaves. Someway or another, he's never there. He's gone down a darker path, changed his ideals.

I know how much you care about him. You're always looking out for his well-being, which is why you're the vice president of Toman.

Take it from someone who's always, constantly trying to change things- change people- sometimes it never goes the way you want. When even one little thing goes right and you let your guard down, something else- something so minor- ends up screwing everything over.

Draken, you have to keep being there for Mikey. I know that's a given, I know you'll do it regardless of what I tell you, but I just think I should tell you anyway. There's always so much that can go wrong in the future, so much that can be said.

I hope you can make the effort with me to bring him back when he goes astray. I don't think I would be able to do it on my own. You've known him for longer... I'm just someone who suddenly showed up on a whim.

I need you to stay safe, Draken. I don't know how bad things will get if something happens to you. I don't only want to save Hina, I want to be able to save Mikey too.

I've always found you really cool. I know it's weird to just add it now but, there was always an aura to you. Really intimidating and scary honestly, but then after a point I was able to see more to you.

I'd like to consider you someone important to me. A close friend, someone who I want to have in the near future. I want you, and all of Toman, to show up in my future. The future where everything is okay, where everything is safe and well.

I know that there's a future I can get to where you're all happy, and I want to get to it somehow. I'll get to it, I will.

Stay safe Draken,
Hanagaki Takemichi
