Today's Life, Don't Have Tomorrow

Chapter 22 : Lost In Everything

"What!!?? Riku-kun stabbed himself. How is he?" Sougo asked, as he was panicked after listening to the explanation from Yamato.

"Well, Kujou was there. If he wasn't there, I guess Riku might be. Yamato said.

"Nanase-san's memories are still confused at the same time. Kichiro-san said it's really had a big impact on him." Iori said.

"Let's just not push him too much. All we can do is support him." Yamato said.

"Kou, did you check on Riku?" Kichiro ask.

"Yes, he is already awake, but he said he wants to sleep." Kou said

"I think he needs some time to process everything that happened," Kichiro replied, looking concerned. "Let's give him space and check on him later." Kou nodded in agreement, understanding the importance of giving Riku the time he needed to recover.

"But I need to keep looking for him after what Tenn-chan tells us." Kou said.

"Riku almost died from that, and his condition is getting worse. His brain is still not working properly. I can't start doing the surgery." Kichiro said

"Poor Riku-chan. I really need to check on Riku-chan all the time." Kou and Kichiro exchanged worried glances, realizing the severity of Riku's condition.

After finishing the shooting at the studio, Yamato and Sougo decided to visit Riku today. They were just worried about Riku's state. Sometimes he can remember, but sometimes he loses his memory just a second ago. Yamato bought lunch to have with Sougo. Riku still can't eat something, which might affect his body and heart. He was only allowed to eat something like porridge or soup. But still, they are afraid to buy something like that somewhere because, after hearing from Kichiro about Riku's condition, they are really aware that they must be careful and give much attention to that.

"Kichiro-san sent me a message that Riku just felt asleep after getting his medicine. So we're just going to stay there until the manager finishes handling Ichi and Tama shot."Yamato said.

"Okay, then let's buy some flowers." Sougo said.

"I think Riku won't like it. I think he mentioned this to me."

"Riku-kun saying to you?" Sougo ask.

"Ah no, he said, 'they' won't like it. I don't know who he talked about. I think we better get something that Riku would like." Yamato said.

"Okay, let's try using Trigger's concert copies. He likes to watch Kujou-san perform." Sougo said. "He might remember something from that, right? But I think I need to get some advice from Kichiro-san. I'm just afraid it can't be used that way toward Riku-kun."

"Hmmm, you better ask him first." Yamato said.

"Riku-chan!! How are you today?" Kou greets Riku once she gets inside the room. Riku only looked at Kou and didn't give any expression. Kou, just keep her smile and help Riku clean the table. Kou let out a sigh after seeing that Riku's meal didn't get much touch. "Riku-chan, you didn't eat your food. Did it taste bad for you?" Kou ask.

"I don't like it. They said that food got poisoned." Riku said Kou's eyes widened in shock at Riku's words.

"Poisoned? By who?" she asked, concern evident in her voice.

Riku hesitated before whispering, "I think it was Kichiro-san." Kou disagreed with Riku's accusation, knowing Kichiro's kind nature. Kou knew that Riku was still talking with his non-human friend, like how they talked about Tenn's flower too.
