Project Sekai Shuffle AU: Passion Seekers

Shinonome Akito

It was one of the rare nights where Akito and Ena ate together on these occasions, they'd put on the tv to keep entertained and from arguing with one another. As they peacefully sat at the table eating dinner both of them looked towards at the tv after hearing a certain surname being said.

"this afternoon, the famous musician Aoyagi Harumichi lost his prodigy son, Aoyagi Toya to suicide. It Was reported this afternoon when Harumichi was looking for him."

As soon as name Toya left the reporter's mouth Akito dropped his bowl on the floor. The siblings were left in shock. knowing how hurt Akito would be, Ena quickly set everything down running over to her brother to try and comfort him. Akito began to sob out uncontrollably, Crying into his elder sister's arms, he shouted and cursed at Toyo's father. He knew that Toyo's father was the reason why Toya was now dead. He scolded himself for being a horrible friend for not being able to help Toya.

A week time skip.

Vivid Bad Squad met up. An and Kohane still heartbroken at the news. Akito himself managed to pull himself together and talk to the girls. They knew that Toya was a vital part of their group. They wouldn't be able to do much without him. They had to make the final decision to disband the group and give up on going to RadWeekend. After the disband, Akito made his way to Toyo's house. He was greeted with Toya's father.

"You.. You're the kid that Toya did the nonsense music with."
"Yeah. What about it?"
"What do you need?"
" May I take a look at Toya's room one more
time?"
"Why?"
"Please, sir. Just one last time. 5 minutes"
"Fine, 5 minutes is all you get."

Harumichi let Akito into the house. The house was empty as usual. He went straight to Toya's room. Akito opened the door prepared to see an empty room. Opening the door, Akito found the room as is. He breathed a sigh of relief.

"You might as well take his things, everything here was useless and worthless."
Akito didn't have the energy to argue and yell at Harumichi.
"Oh. Ok"
"You have 5 minutes to take whatever you want."

Quickly running to Toya's desk, Akito grabbed Toya's School bag, took out his wallet and left it for Harumichi before getting his pictures and notes for Vivid Bad Squad. The time had passed by so quickly when he was in Toyo's room.

"Times up. Please leave now."
"...alright."

Putting his shoes on, right as he grabbed the handle to the door, Harumichi said something to him.

" Shinonome."
"Yeah?"
"I'm sorry for Toya. I wanted to thank you for making him smile."
"You're sorry? If you are really sorry than Toya wouldn't be dead!"

Harumichi couldn't answer Akito. The door opened and he watched the young boy run out of the house. After a month, Akito began to soften up, he and his sister stopped arguing as much. He lost so much from Toya's death, he wanted to continue on, but he was lost without Toya. He heard of some news of a theme park not doing as well as they recently lost a member as well. He went to find that member. Soon Akito had formed a new music group with three others. All four hoping to find a new purpose and hope to pursue their dreams and passions.
