Devils Of Bonten [Tokyo Revengers ff]

25.

Something about his voice told me that he's dead serious. My mind ran through several meanings of what he just said.

And none of them made sense.

"What...do you mean?"

My voice came out too low than I expected. As if I was afraid to know the answer.

Ran leaned closer as I pressed my head hard against the wall. I suddenly recalled how he killed that guy when I was held capative in that factory.

Shiver ran down my spine.

"It's better not to know everything Akio... don't say something you might regret."

I would need like a week to decode what he just said.

His eyes flicker down my neck before landing on my eyes. I noticed how his jaw tensed for a moment.

"You should go back to your room."

He moved away opening the door as I was still frozen. I looked at him.

"Yeah."

I almost run out of the room. For some reason I could not stand his presence anymore. Something scared me to bones...

A bodyguard accompanied me to my room. I made sure to lock it before I crashed down on the sofa.

It's almost afternoon...

This morning was a crazy one. Seeing Sanzu after he haunted me in my nightmares was nerve-wracking. Plus Ran's weird bahavior...

The scene replayed in my mind.

What the hell was that?...

Every time when I think I am closer to the truth. Every time when I think that finally all my questions are going to get answered the new ones add up.

Anyway there are two important things I must do today.

First, during my trip to hospital with Rindou I somehow need to contact Yoshi.

Second talk with Akio tonight and ask her about everything.

Suddenly Ran's words rang through my mind. He told me to decide without any regrets...

Should I do this?

All this escape plan and sneaking in the Cabin?

Do I want to do this?

No.

Am I supposed to do this?

Yes.

I sighed feeling defeated. Ran's right. I am not even determined to decide. I can't even bring myself to do something I can't even think of.

I have two days to make up my mind.
Tonight after talking with Akio I will decide. Certainly...

My eyes slowly trailed down on my ring. The purple diamond shined. And it reminded me of Rindou's eyes...

'I love you Akio. Be with me forever.'

Yesterday was like a dream. And I can't help but to dwell into it again and again.

'I love you Rindou.'

How did it come to this?...so fast?...
I thought it take years to finally love someone or at least realise it. In my past life I yearned for love.

Even a little bit of affection made me feel happier than ever. I never thought I would fall in love so quick.

Or maybe I was dying to fall in love.
