CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN

"Oi Hanemiya, wake up" The police officer banged on the door.

A young boy with a tiger tattoo on the right side of his neck sat up on his bed then replied to the officer with a 'what?'

"Someone's here to visit ya" The officer said as he opened the door and cuffed his hands.

The boy walked along the hall with the officer right behind him.

He assumed that his friend Baji had come to visit him again but to his surprise, there were two other people waiting for him as well.

There sitting behind the clear thin glass were you, Mikey and Baji.

He looked at you and was immediately taken back by your features since it was familiar to him. Your hair, your clothes, the chain necklace. It was all just like him. He already knew who you were by Baji's description from the last time Baji came to visit him.

He could feel your dark dull eyes just watching him as he approached the chair and sat down.

He couldn't even dare to look up. He just had his eyes gazed down at the floor.

"So you're Kazutora Hanemiya" You started, staring blankly at him as you examined him.

Silence engulfed the room for a brief moment. You exhaled deeply as you rested your arm on your chair. "August 14th at 10:50 PM. That was the night you broke into Sano Shinichiro's shop"

Kazutora's eyes widened by just hearing the name.

"No." He suddenly blurted out.

You raised a brow at him. "Excuse me?"

"I didn't do it." Kazutora denied. "I didn't do it. I didn't kill him. I didn't!"

He felt the sweat of guilt and denial drip down his face, dropping to the floor as he tightened his jaw and clenched his fists.

"DID YOU ONLY COME HERE TO REMIND ME OF WHAT HAPPENED THAT DAY?!" He just straight up snapped at you.

"AND YOU BAJI! WHY ARE YOU SIDING WITH THEM?! YOU SAID THAT YOU'LL ALWAYS BE BY MY SIDE. ME!" Anger erupted inside of him, blurting out words without even thinking. "IT WASN'T MY FAULT! IT WASN'T—"

"Nobody ever said it was your fault" You cut him off, making him freeze upon hearing your words. "Nobody even ever blamed you on Shinichiro's death"

"Huh..?" Kazutora looked up at you with a curious expression.

"It must've really scared you, hm Kazutora?" You asked in a calm a gentle tone. "When you saw him walking up to Baji with a wrench, that was the first thing that came up onto your mind... Honestly I don't blame you, I too, would do anything to protect my friends as well if I was you." You chuckled softly and soon turned back to him again.
