Chaos and torment.
The two things Delle endured the most in her life. As she tried to get out of the mess, she got entangled with different kinds of people. Delle came to love being with them, and finally found someone who let her experience peace...
"You're coming with me, Delle?" Michi asked. I clung my hands around his arm.
"Mhm. I want to talk to him. And I want to keep an eye on you," I almost threatened, making him awkwardly grin. "But I'll let you talk to him first."
"Okay."
While waiting outside Kakucho-san's room, I plucked a flower, trying to decide whether I'll visit those peeps in their cells. It's not that we're close. I don't know. I just think I should even though I'm not really sure what to say to them.
"Oh." I finished, and it's a yes. "Guess I'll visit then."
The door opened. It spat Takemichi.

"You done?"
"Yeah. You'll really talk to him alone?"
The side of my lips lifted. "You know he's not a bad guy, Take."
"T...ake?"
"Just tried saying it." I beamed, tapping his shoulder. "I'll be quick."
"O-okay..."
Kakucho-san's eyes grew as I entered. I smiled at him.
"Didn't think you'd come."
I shrugged. "Didn't think I'd find myself here either."
He sighed, looking at the window. "Right. You're Hanagaki's cousin. You're really tied to these guys, huh?"
I walked, standing beside him. "Yeah. Like I really meant to know you guys."
"You can still say that after all you went through?" I returned him a half smile, not able to say anything. Kakucho-san gestured the bed. "Sit beside me, Delle."
"I'm pretty heavy. The bed might break," I briefly joked to make the atmosphere light. He slightly laughed with me. "Alright."
"You want to come with me, don't you?" He confirmed. I bobbed. "I figured. I guess... you liked Izana, huh?"
I grasped the hospital bed sheets, caressing it. "What can I say? Mikey taught me to be understanding."
"Delle."
"Hm?"
"Thanks for paying everyone's hospital bills."
Tongue-tied, my smiles faded. "Mhm. You know the payment for that." I tried to grin.
"Okay. I'll take you with me when I get out of here."
"Thanks, Kakucho-san."
Takemichi and I took a break, eating at the usual place. Eyes glued on him, my cousin didn't order an iced tea but his favorite potatoes. His brows shot up when he noticed me staring. My forehead creased.
"Ah, eh... Delle?"
"Michi..." I swallowed down a heavy breath. "How did you... get that scar?"
