(BSD reference because I can)
(So during the five years Kuro forgot about everything in the previous chapters)
(Kuro's POV)
Tsukasa-san told me to meet him here, but this is a graveyard?
I looked around, and saw him, leaning on the back of a grave under a tree
I walked up to him, he seems to be sketching in his sketchbook again
As the sketch takes shape, I can tell he's making a sketch of someone
When he finished it, the person in the sketch is a boy roughly seventeen years of age, cat-like and narrow-eyed just like Tsukasa-san
Every single detail was brought out clear, even the two lighter streaks in his hair
Tsukasa
Kuro-kun, do you know who's grave this is?
Kamishiro... Rui...
"No, but it's of someone close to you, right?"
"Maybe... someone you were in love with?"
Tsukasa
Yes, the former director of our troupe, Rui
He was perfect in every way
And that perfection was wasted because of me...
"What do you mean?"
A tear ran down his face
Tsukasa
If I didn't pretend to be Shizuku's boyfriend, he would still be here with me
"What happened?"
Tsukasa
Have you heard of hanahaki?
The question sounded familiar, yet I can't remember where I've heard it
"Yes"
"That's how he died, right?"
Tsukasa
Yes, only if I knew sooner that he had it, maybe I would've been able to save him
We were both seventeen, but now that I'm twenty-two, he is still seventeen
"I see..."
The next day, he didn't show up for practice
(Saki's POV)
Onii-chan hasn't been answering my calls and his door is locked shut
I should call Emu-chan to make sure
Emu
<Saki-chan, do you need anything?>
<Onii-chan hasn't been responding my calls, is he with you guys?>
Emu
<He hasn't been showing up neither>
<Oh no...>
Emu
<Saki-chan?>
<So that means...>
<Can you guys come over...>
<I'm scared...>
Emu
<Sure!>
After a while, they arrived at Onii-chan's place
Onii-chan gave me his spare keys, I should open the door... right?
Kuro
I'm afraid that the worst scenario has already happened
Nene
You mean...
Kuro
Yesterday, Tsukasa-san was visiting a grave
Nene
I remember, he called you over
(Flashback, Kuro's POV)
Tsukasa
Now that Saki has Ichika with her at all times, she wouldn't need my help anymore
I guess she wouldn't mind if I go... right?
"You know that the troupe is still worried, right?"
Tsukasa
But I don't really care anymore
(End of flashback)
