[[Seijuro Akashi]]

I headed to the rooftop. Ano naman kaya ang gusto ni Tetsuya?

He was standing by the railing...

...with that insane woman.

"What the--what is she doing here, Tetsuya?!"

"Hoy Tetsuya! Wala kang sinabi saking si Sira pala ang hinihintay natin dito!!"

"Pasensya na. Magpapaliwanag ako."

He walked to the center. She stayed by the railing; I stayed by the door.

"Akashi-kun, nung sinabi kong 'magkasundo tayong lahat', hindi lang ang Generation of Miracles ang ibig sabihin ko."

I felt my eyebrow twitch. "What?"

"Ha? Eh ano pa bang ibig sabihin nun?"

"Kasama natin si Ryouka-san. Hindi ba't kaibigan pa rin natin siya? Hindi mo na ba natatandaan yung mga ginawa niya nung third year?"

I kept silent. She can't say anything too.

Third year...

That time...

...when she gave up on knocking the sense in all of us.

~Third Year, Teiko Middle~

We were left alone in the locker room. She slapped me with her bare hands. Not with her pipe this time. No, just her hands.

And that probably hurt much more than anything else.

"Ano ba, Akashi!!" That was the first time she called me Akashi, too. "Bakit ba kung makapag-salita kayong lahat eh akala niyo kung sino kayong magaling?! Porket basketball geniuses kayo?! Porket na-dominate niyo ang mga championship nang TATLONG TAON?! Lumaki na ang mga ulo niyo at di niyo na kailangan nang mga kaibigan, ganon ba?!"

"Yes!! We don't need anyone to rely on!! The only ones we could rely on now are OURSELVES, do you hear?!"

"Pero high school pa lang tayo next year!! High school!! Masyado pang maaga para wala na kayong pagkatiwalaan!! Hindi kayo absolute!!"

"I am absolute. I am always right, and this is the right thing to do. In order for us to grow, we must work by ourselves. We do not rely on the weak."

I heard her step back. I just bowed my head. "Hindi na ikaw...hindi na ikaw ang Seijuro na kilala ko. Sina Shintaro, Daiki, Atsushi...nasan ba sila? Pati nga yung pinsan kong bugok eh...nawawala..." She was sobbing. It was in her voice. I looked up only to see that it was true. This was my first time to see her cry. Did I...did I just make a girl cry? "Nagbago na kayong lahat...hindi ko na kayo kilala..."

Napaupo siya sa sahig. She continued crying. I got up from the bench and sat with her on the floor. I found myself hugging her. She wasn't pushing me away, and I wasn't pushing her too. She needed this right now.

"I...I'm sorry...but it's...too late..."

"Su...suko na ko...Wala na kong...pag-asang baguhin kayo."

She was hugging me back. Wait, she was hugging me back?

"Kasalanan ko...dahil hindi ko kayo napigilan bago kayo nag-iba...Bago kayo...nawala."

"It's not your fault. It was...our own. Don't blame yourself. It's just that...we...don't need others anymore...But...go to Rakuzan...please..?

"Pasensya na...Hindi ko kayang makita...ang isang nag-ibang Seijuro Akashi...Buo na ang pasya ko...at papasok akong Seirin kasama si Tetsuya...I'm sorry..."
