As the day dragged on, I couldn’t stop thinking about Sai. I didn’t want to think about him, but the thoughts kept coming. His words, his smile, the way he always acted like he understood me… It all replayed in my mind, over and over again.
Why did he have to get into that car accident? Why wasn’t it me who made him suffer? But what bothered me even more was the fact that, for some reason, I felt the urge to see him. It didn’t make sense. I wasn’t the kind of person who visited people in hospitals. I didn’t care about things like that.
And yet, there I was, driving to the hospital where Sai was recovering. I didn’t even know why I was doing this. Maybe it was curiosity maybe I wanted to see him in a weakened state, to prove to myself that he wasn’t as perfect as everyone thought.
Or maybe it was something else. Something I didn’t want to admit to myself.
When I arrived at the hospital, I hesitated for a moment. But then I pushed those thoughts aside and made my way inside.
