I Wish I Could Stay ~ Suicidal Rin Okumura

Chapter 8 ~ Why?

Koneko's P.O.V.

Everyone else has opened up their notes and began reading them, so I guess I should do the same. I unfold the letter and tears spring to my eyes for the last person I would expect to shed tears for.

Dear Koneko,

Can I call you that? Koneko?.....

Anyway, even though it hurt a lot to hear you say the stuff you did, I appreciate that you tried to protect your friends (even though there was nothing they needed to be protected from, well other than the actual demons that I could've easily handled myself haha...). I wish we could've been better friends.

There's one thing I need you to do for me though. I want you to take care of Kuro in my stead. I don't think Yukio could handle seeing him. It would remind him too much of me.

Please be nice to everyone okay? I don't want anyone else to end up like me, you know?

Thanks for understanding, I guess.

Why does he care about people!? He's a demon, isn't he?

.....

But... he's also half... human...

I.... am so terrible! I can't believe what I must've put him through!

I'm so sorry, Rin. I just wish I realised this sooner...
