--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kou was dead.

Kou was dead............. and no one cared.

Everyone noticed that Teru was upset. He didn't smile, didn't laugh, didn't talk.

No one knew why though.

"What's wrong Mr. President?"

"Are you alright?"

"Can we help you?"

Teru had had enough.

"WHAT'S WRONG? MY BROTHER DIED THATS WHAT'S WRONG! HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO HELP?"

Teru never raised his voice.

He watched them hurry to apologize.

"Oh, we're so sorry for your loss."

"Your brother was an amazing kid, so smart."

"He will be missed."

Lies.

All lies.

They had never met Kou let alone known him.

They didn't care.

They didn't know.

Half a year ago Kou had come home mourning the loss of his firnd Yashiro Nene.

He hid it well but Teru knew Kou blamed himself.

He knew he cried himself to sleep  each night.

Yashiro's death was soon followed by another tradgedy.

Hanako dissapeared.

He left Kou a note in the bathroom.

Hey Kid,
I can't stay
I need to find her
-No. 7

Another friend Kou lost.

Teru found him sobbing on the bathroom floor.

He watched him hold tight to No. 3

He watched No. 3 try to hold him together.

He tried to help but he was always so busy.

If only he hadn't been.

If only he had paid more attention.

He thought they had more time.

No. 3 was the one who told him.

"I-I've-I lost him"

Three words with so much more meaning.

The next day No. 3 came to him.

"I can't stay without him."

As much as he hated ghosts he knew No. 3 had loved kou.

Now there was no one left who cared about him.

And as Teru stood in front of his brothers grave with tears in his eyes he said:

"They never saw you.

They never cared for you.

You lived in my shadow.

And I'm so, so, so sorry about it"
