Ayaka POV

I wake up slowly in a large, soft bed...opening my eyes fully I can inspect a totally organized and clean room.

Everything is decorated in a very beautiful and aesthetic way.

Apparently the person who brought me here is someone very neat and organized.

"Where I am?" I was confused, who could it have been that helped me?

Then I heard footsteps into the room followed by a male voice.

"I see that you've already woken up, I brought you a plate of food that contains iron and minerals, you need them" he proceeds to put the plate of food on the bed.

I was shocked...this person...is Kiyo...

I was internally very happy and excited, I couldn't believe that I am already close to him...even though he is almost 40 years old he still looks very attractive...

"Ki...Kiyo..." My voice trembles a little, I didn't know how to contain my excitement...

"Eh? Did you already know about me? Well, it makes sense, I'm somehow famous on the internet, nice to meet you, young lady" -he smiles softly, it was no longer an almost hidden smile- "what's your name?"

"I'm..." -should I tell him the truth? I don't think it's good...I mean...I'm still too young for him in this new life...and I don't want to get him into serious trouble...- "I'm Aiko...Aiko Nakajima, it's nice to finally meet you ..."

"Aiko...it's a nice name" -he continues smiling and adds- "Nakajima...what a familiar last name, it's Ayaka's best friend named Makoto...are you related to him?"

It seems that just mentioning my name from my past life... made him a little sad, I could notice the subtle change in his eyes.

"Yes... I am his niece..."

"I see, and tell me Aiko-san... why did you skip meals? You had anemia" -he asks me, looking at me seriously- "is something happening in your life to not want to eat and take care of your well-being?"

"...well, I had a fight with my brother...he came home frustrated and angry for some reason...he started saying how much he wants to die and that the bonds he formed in the new life  doesn't mean anything to him...not even me.."

"But, did you have a very good relationship with him before that?"

"Yes...he used to be very rude but little by little he improved his attitude and became someone you could genuinely count on."

Kiyo starts to think a little and proceeds to say...

"It may be that he didn't really mean all that and it was just the heat of the moment."

Wow, it's exactly the same thing Naoko said...it seems like I'm an idiot who doesn't understand anything about human psychology.

"Yes, I know..."

"Haven't you thought about talking to him again and reconciling?"

"Yes...but...he ran away from home...and I don't know where he is now"

"That's really bad..."
