As Tsukasa head stays on Rui's shoulder; he did nothing but thoughts — continous thoughts of how he'll tell Tsukasa what he feels and how he'll execute it.

"Sigh... How will Tsukasa-kun manage this?" Rui thought as he continued to think while looking at the blonde boy sleeping on his shoulder; Tsukasa is sleeping really well, according to Rui, it looked rather cute like a kid tired from playing outside. His quiet snores made Rui silent, blushing because of it.

"Tsukasa... You're so cute.." Rui whispered, continue to look at Tsukasa's sleeping face. "It looks like I won't be able to go home tonight. I guess my parents wouldn't mind— ..."

•~ Flashback ~•

"Rui, where have you been?!" Rui's mother said, in a worried tone; Rui explains "Well, I was outside for a little too long because I wanted to perform shows."

Rui's mother sighed in relief and gave Rui a hug, "Alright, but make sure you at least inform me, okay dear?"

"Okay, mom..."

•~ Present ~•

Rui sighed as he slowly picked up his phone to inform his other since he'll most probably stay in Tsukasa's home — his parents wouldn't mind anyways unless they were at least informed.

Tsukasa's Room, 8:00PM

Rui to "Mom"

Rui 💬: Hi mom
Rui 💬: I'll be staying with a friend tonight, it's already late to walk home

Rui's Mom 💬: Ok dear!
Rui's Mom 💬: Just make sure you get home tomorrow since you'll be having a session with your therapist the day after tomorrow.

"..." Rui sighed.

Rui 💬: Oki mom, I'll be home tomorrow~✨

Rui's Mom 💬: Ok dear
Rui's Mom 💬: Stay safe!! ❤️

----------

Rui turns off his phone and puts it on side, continuing to look at Tsukasa's sleeping face. It makes Rui feel at ease and happy for some reason. He didn't want Tsukasa's head away from his shoulder... It felt warm.

"Tsukasa-kun, you're really quiet when you sleep... Usually, you always shout at school. But look, here we have a star who's been asleep for an hour and a half." Rui chuckled as he leaned onto Tsukasa's head gently.

"Goodnight, Tsukasa-kun."

The next day...

Tsukasa's Room, 8:00AM

Tsukasa opened his eyes and sees that he fell asleep on the side of the room, feeling something a little heavy with a addition of soft snores — it was Rui sleeping on his head.

"R-Rui?!" Tsukasa said in a loud tone, having Rui's sleep...RUI-ned?

"Ah, morning Tsukasa-kun." Rui rub his eyes and smiled playfully "It looks like someone fell asleep earlier than expected?"

"Shut it Rui!" Tsukasa shouts, embarassed about it — his mother opened Tsukasa's room door and saw the two boys so close together.

"... Wrong timing. Carry on you two." said Tsukasa's mom as she slowly closed the door; making Tsukasa more embarassed, Rui laughed it off. "Fufu, Tsukasa-kun is embarrassed early in the morning~"

"S-Shut it Rui! I... have to get ready after all.." Tsukasa said as he stood up and gets clothes from his closet. The boy with purple hair and blue strands watches him look for clothes and thought of maybe Tsukasa was getting ready because of Saki.

Rui thought to himself "I see... Tsukasa-kun is getting black clothing. Not to mention, his mother looked like she was supposed to tell Tsukasa-kun to get ready. In addition to this, Saki isn't seen at home at all.

It looks like my guess was right... Tsukasa's sister is dead."

Tsukasa got the clothes he was needing to wear and turned around, seeing Rui in a serious expression "Rui, is there something wrong?" he asked as Rui smiled a little

"I'm sorry for your loss, Tsukasa-kun."

"... Thank you, Rui."
Tsukasa smiled back.

Timeskip, Funeral

Everyone are gathered around the cemetery... We could see the Tenma Family; the Father, the Mother and the Brother.

There were also familiar faces at the spot, Saki's childhood friends; Ichika, Honami and Shiho. They were Saki's friends ever since they were little kids... They always wanted to make a band of their own but they couldn't do it anymore because they lost their ray of sunshine for the Group.

Shiho's sister, Shizuku was also there. She couldn't say anything but cling onto Shiho — she didn't mind it.

"Saki... Why did you leave us?"

In addition to this, you can see their considered 'brother' Toya.

"I hope you rest well, Saki."

Lastly, we wouldn't forget the Troupe, Wonderlands x Showtime.

Emu, Nene and Rui... Tsukasa's friends gathered as well for the funeral. Seeing Emu not smiling was a rare sight; she tried all she could to not cry as Nene continue to comfort her girlfriend. Rui in the other hand stayed silent, looking at the funeral progressed.

As everyone gather around the area, they all say their farewells and put flowers around the grave.

A few minutes later, after the Funeral

Tsukasa continue to look at his only sister's grave, tears fall from his cheeks as he proceed to cry.

"I wasn't able to say goodbye properly to you, Saki... I'm such a bad brother! I didn't get to visit you at the hospital because I was so focused on a show! I wasn't able to see you at least by your very moment... I wasn't... Able to...

Make you happy."
