Chapter 13

{Timeskip}

Chigiri: "So just up the stairs there?"

Reo: "Just go up the stairs and you'll be on the roof."

Chigiri: "Ah okay, thank you."

Reo: "Not for that, I'll go, my parents are still expecting me, write to me later, okay?"

Chigiri: "Sure I'll do it!" And I'll call you later!"

Reo: "Don't forget! Bye!"

Chigiri: "Bye!"

And with that he left and I took the path to the stairs as he explained to me.

I opened the door and saw..huh?... Kunigami?

Chigiri: "You?"

Kunigami: "You?"

Chigiri: "So, I have a lot of questions, the first Question is, from  where do you know my code?"

Kunigami: "I was just about to ask you the same thing."

Chigiri: "Huh? Why should I have your code?"

Kunigami: "Wait... that comic and card didn't come from you?"

He held up a comic and a card that said the same thing as mine. I needed a moment.

Chigiri: "Wait..."

I held up the roses and also the card.

Kunigami: "I- huh?"

Chigiri: "I think... we were both lured to the roof."

Kunigami: "Huh?"

Chigiri: "In short, someone wanted us to speak out and gave us both something we wanted and a card that should go to the roof."

Kunigami: "But who is that supposed to come from?... I- Bachira and Isagi! Bachira knows my code and I assume Isagi yours?"

Chigiri: "I never actually said it, but if you know me, it's not that hard to guess the code."

Kunigami: "But it hits pretty well! Wanted to talk to you anyway!"

Chigiri: "Mhm?"

Kunigami: "You've been avoiding me for the past few days and I would like to talk to you because I don't want to lose you even though I've only known you for a short time."

Chigiri: "I- well I should have guessed that this conversation would come... but it's taking a long time."

Kunigami: "I have time, give yourself as much time as you want."

Chigiri: "It's-... oh I don't really know how to start-..."

Kunigami: "Don't worry, take as much time as you need."

Chigiri: "I think I know how to start... I think - you know why I distanced myself, because of that one sentence you said.."

Kunigami: "Do you mean the sentence "you don't know what it's like"? Because I wanted to apologize for it anyway, I was overwhelmed by the situation for a moment."

Chigiri: "Don't worry, I understand you, I mean I would have reacted the same way in the situation, the fact that I have distanced myself since that one thing is not your fault... it's more my fault and what happened to me... so uh... "

Kunigami: "Huh?"

Chigiri: "well... like I said, it reminds me of something... you were right... I have no idea how you felt, I can only guess, but... I know how Bachira felt...."

Kunigami: "I-?..." Are you saying?..."

Chigiri: "Yes... I experienced the same thing as him... why do you think I changed schools in the middle of the school year?..."

And then it all came out, I said everything that happened and about the nightmare I've been having a lot lately. I've said everything.
