Osamu saw us and walked over.

He looked nervous.

The moment his mother saw him she rushed over and gave him a hug.

"Samu! Ya came! Yer brother's in room 124," she said.

Osamu nodded before glancing at me and then looking back at his mom.

"Do ya know... What happened?" He asked.

Ms Miya shook her head, "He said that one of the players on the other team body-played him pretty badly, but he didn't say who," she frowned.

I saw Osamu's eyes widen briefly before he went back to his usual deadpan expression.

"I... I'll go see him, now," he said before walking off in the direction of Atsumu's room.

I was just chilling in my hospital room when I heard a knock on the door.

"Come in," I called not too loudly.

My head was still really sore even with all the pain medication.

The door opened slowly.

I froze when I saw the person enter my room.

"Samu?" I asked, my voice was shakier than I thought.

Osamu walked up to the bed and pulled up a chair before sitting down.

He wouldn't make eye-contact with me.

I saw him swallow before speaking.

"Hey, Tsumu..." He greeted, still avoiding eye-contact as he stared at the bed sheets.

"Why are ya here?" I asked, it was odd to see him anywhere near me.

"I-I'm sorry, Tsumu..."

His voice sounded pained and weak.

It wasn't long before I realized that he was crying.

He balled his hands into fists as he leaned over the bed and bit back a sob.

"I'm a terrible fuckin' excuse of a brother... I was so blinded by wantin' to be as good as ya that I didn't realize how much of an asshole I was to ya... I-I let the team torment ya... I- I-"

My eyes widened as he carried on talking.

"I was so worried when ya didn't come to school, an'- an' then ya blocked me an' I was so angry... Then ma told me that ya moved schools... It hurt me so much that ya didn't even say bye... I-I... I'm so sorry, Tsumu... It's no excuse, I shouldn't have done that... I'm a horrible brother..."

I sat up slowly as to not make the pain in my head any worse.

I ruffled my hand through Samu's hair.

I've never seen him so distraught before.

It hurts to see him like this.
