Kaito's POV:

...

I thought Maki-Roll would leave by now...

It's been like 4 hours, it's pitch black outside, looking at the clock it says it's 3 am.

The class said their goodbyes two hours ago, except for Kaede and Shuichi who just left.

Kaede had to beg Shuichi to leave so they could rest, it was disheartening to watch.

And although Kaede also tried to reason with Maki, she wouldn't budge. She didn't even answer back to her, her expression was stoic. As if she had nothing to say or do.

But I could tell she had a lot on her mind, her eyes swirling with guilt, confusion, sadness, and anger. I wish she could just see me, even for a moment. I know she thinks this is her fault. But I know it isn't.

The doctors even asked whether she wanted to leave or not, all she did was shake her head in response.

I hate seeing Maki-Roll like this.

She's not doing anything to make herself feel better, and nothing to help her health.

She's putting her mask back on, just when I had gotten her to open up and laugh at the dance

I...I should've been more careful

And, while I'm worried about Maki of course, I can't help but think of my grandparents

Where are they?

Do they even know?

...

Oh Maki-Roll...

One thought rang through my ears.

It was all I could think about.

This. Is all my fault.

I let him become my friend.

I was vulnerable around him.

I let him break down my walls, I let him talk to me.

I shouldn't have done it, why did I ever consider it.

I didn't deserve him, and I still don't.

Maybe it's better if I don't even stay by his side, I don't deserve to-

No, I have to wait for Kaito. I need to apologize, and tell him that any contact with him will be cut off. I am to never speak, look, or hear him ever again.

If I were to continue to bother him with my presence, he'd just get hurt all over again.

And I can't let anything else happen to him.

He slept peacefully, are people in comas even sleeping?

Doesn't matter, he's still gone.

Oh Kaito...If you can hear me...just give me a sign. Please anything.
