"Satoru..?" Nanami's voice comes from the other side of the room. Satoru was lying down on his bed as he stared at the letter that Suguru left behind. Tears flowed down his eyes he hugged his knees and mumbled out Suguru's name. With another knock, Nanami calls him out once again. 

"Satoru... I know you're in there... open the door" Nanami's soft gentle voice came. He wasn't much of a talker and wasn't even close to Satoru but Satoru's pain was just... too much.

Nanami lost Haibara forever. 

Haibara died but...

Suguru was alive.

And yet Satoru lost him. 

"I know it's hard... nobody knows better than me" Nanami whispers and presses his back against the door before slowly sliding down and sitting on the ground. He presses his head on the door and lets out a sigh.

"I don't know how to comfort you honestly... all I know is..." Nanami's eyes slowly tear up as he softly scoffs and jerks his head to the side. He hates it when he cries. 

Nanami hates being weak.

"All I know is that you were there when I wanted someone... lemme pay back my debt will you?" The door soundly clicks open and Nanami stands still. The door creaks as Satoru comes into the vision. He was still in his uniform. 

His eyes were bloodshot from crying.

His hair ruffled.

His face was red.

"Just leave Nanami..." Satoru's broken voice spoke. He couldn't even face Nanami right now. He felt so fucking pathetic he could've laughed at himself. Nanami's eyes soften as he reaches to pat his shoulder.

"You're strong Satoru... you will endure it"

"Just because they say you're the strongest doesn't mean you're not human Satoru! This is absolutely ridiculous!" Suguru's raged-filled voice spoke as he huffed and sat down on Satoru's bed. Satoru chuckles at him and smiles.

"But I am the strongest" 

"AND?! DOES THAT MEAN YOU DON'T FEEL PAIN?!"

"I actually don't"

"Feed that fucking bullshit to someone else Satoru! I see it in your eyes!" Suguru argues as he scoots closer to Satoru and grabs his face. He made sure to avoid Satoru's fractured leg. They were just carelessly playing basketball. Too into heat, Satoru lost his balance and ended up fracturing his leg. It was not a huge crack so the doctor discharged him with a plaster.

"You're in pain, my love... I see it... I know it..." Suguru's soft voice spoke as he slowly caressed his cheek. Satoru hums out and leans closer to that cold sensation. Suguru smiles and his eyes instantly soften.

"You don't have to act the strongest Satoru... because I will protect you"

"SUGURU PLEASE!!! PLEASE OPEN YOUR EYES!" Satoru hesterically shakes Suguru who was slowly growing colder and colder. Nanami was beside Satoru trying to pull him away from Suguru's dead body.

"SATORU HE IS DEAD! LET HIM GO!" 

"NOOO! HE IS NOT!" Satoru angrily growls. Seeing him in so much anger scares Nanami too as he takes a step back before sighing and rubbing his forehead.

"IT WAS BECAUSE OF YOU NANAMI! I FUCKING HATE YOU!"

"HE WAS A CRIMINAL SATORU! I WAS GOING TO JUST ARREST HIM!"

"THEN HOW IS HE DEAD?!?!?" Satoru yells so hard that his voice echoes. All the officers scared out of their wits take a step back leaving Nanami to deal with this angry wolf who looked at Nanami like he would tear him apart. 

"ANSWER ME KENTO! HOW IS HE FUCKING DEAD?!"

"IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!"

"I FUCKING LOST SUGURU NANAMI KENTO!!!" He lets go of Suguru before grabbing Nanami from his collars. He was eyes were red from uncontrollable rage. Nanami feels his blood getting cold at Satoru's reaction. 

He was a pure rage.

Suguru has locked this Satoru away for years.

But he died... and he unlocked him in his last moments.

This person in front of Nanami was...

Was not Satoru Gojo who would laugh it off.

Who would not take it to his heart.

Who would not act on revenge.

This Satoru Gojo would kill anyone.

He could see it in his eyes.

It was pure rage.

"S-Satoru... listen" Nanami's low voice spoke in hopes for Satoru to calm down but Satoru has turned deaf. 

All he could hear was revenge.

Revenge.

Revenge.

Revenge.

He wanted revenge.

Satoru's skilled hands instantly swiped away Nanami's gun. Nanami's eyes widened as he stared at Satoru who pointed the gun at Nanami. Nanami gulps and slowly raises his hands.

"Satoru... don't act hastily... be wise... this is not you" Nanami spoke slowly and carefully not wanting Satoru to do something he would later regret. Satoru's raged-filled eyes stare daggers into Nanami.

"It's too late now Kento..." His hoarse voice spoke. He chuckles so loudly that other officers around him feel chill running down their spine. This man in front of him was a total psycho.

"Suguru... he is gone..." He laughs as tears run down his eyes. 

He couldn't believe it.

Suguru Geto...

He was dead.

"Hah... Suguru died..." He laughs and laughs yet along those laughs were tears that ran down rivers. Nanami stood there silently. He never knew Satoru would turn out like this if he lost Suguru permanently. 

He thought that Satoru had grown over Suguru.

He thought that passionate love between Satoru and Suguru no longer existed.

He had no idea that Satoru was this desperate for Suguru.

He had no idea that Suguru was Satoru's other half. 

He had no idea.

"What's the point now Nanami?" Satoru asked. His red eyes stared at Nanami. The light was gone. His blue eyes were no longer bright.

He lost himself.

"Oh god, Nanami what's the fucking point?!" Satoru asks this time yelling as he points the gun at Nanami.

"Die" And the shot was fired. The officers all closed their eyes shut unable to see this gruesome scene. Yet Nanami stood still with his back straight. His eyes were wide open yet the impact never happened. The bullet didn't reach him. 

"SATORU!" Nanami nearly loses his balance as he sees Satoru who has long turned the position of the gun to the side of his head and has fired the shot. His eyes opened as his blue eyes looked at Nanami. 

There was no more rage in them. 

With a soft gentle smile. 

Satoru's body hits the ground.

Right beside Suguru's.
