Arima Kousei POV:

"Are you sure about this? He remembers the person who tortured him?" Dad asked Seto Hiroko while I'm seated on my bed. I'm still full of pain and definitely, every part of my body hurts. If I don't have any strong pain reliever, I know that I'll be screaming.

"We can't be too near your child, John. He can hear us," she told him as she tried to distance themselves from me inside the hospital room where I'm locked up.

"Answer me, Hiroko," he begged.

"I don't know if he clearly remembers the person who tortured him," she answered him. She looked at me pitifully and at the time I saw her teary eyes, I clenched my fists in shame. "He panics when he sees people with gold hair like Kaori."

"That meant he slightly remembers who did the many atrocities done to him," dad said in shock. "He's got Leukemia and PTSD. I don't know how much I can help him get out of the darkness he's in."

"Find the culprit who did this to your son," Hiroko- san cried to my father. "Give him the justice he deserves."

"Finding the culprit would just be an act of revenge. I want to have my revenge and I will get it for him but saving him from the pits of hell would be harder! He's burning! Damn it!" Dad sat near my bed and dried my tears when he saw me crying.

I feel so guilty right now that they found me alive but I was actually a living corpse now. "Let me give up and join mom. I'm going to leave soon."

Dad's eyes widened in surprise when I said those words to them. My heart was already too full and heavy. I can't keep fighting the gravity of death. It's pulling me harder now.

"Don't say that Kousei," Dad spoke to me as his right-hand touch mine. "Stay beside me."

"If I stay, will I be able to see the blue sky again?" I asked him. I can't help but see only black and white now. Dad's a gray figure to me while I can't totally see Seto Hiroko now. She's out of my world. Maybe because she's one of those people I cling for hope.

"Yes," Dad promised me. "You will see it again."

"You have to be quick, dad," I said to him. "Don't wait for too long or the angels would soon take me."

"How can I help you, Kousei?" he asked me.

Tears crawl on my cheeks. "Let me out of here, dad. I want to at least see the sky,"

My dad clenched his hands on mine. "I'll take you there soon but it's still too risky for you."

"I want to draw," I weakly told him. "Let me draw."

Seto Hiroko immediately gave me my sketchbook. At the same time, even if it was too difficult for me to hold a pen, I drew the face of the woman that kidnapped and tortured me. She wasn't older than me. She was just as young as me but she was cruel. She was the daughter of the syndicate that kept me locked in a cell for years while others used me, too. I gave it to her and told them, "That's the woman who tortured me and sent me to become a whore."

It was then I felt my heart hurt too much and slowly, I heard the machine on my right beep too high. My eyes rolled on the back of my sockets while I tense up with my hands and feet shaking uncontrollably shocking the two people with me. Bitter liquids began getting out of my mouth. No matter how much I tried to scream, my airways were pretty much blocked and I can't breathe.

Dad stayed with me and shouted to Seto Hiroko to call for nurses as he scrambled to help me. I felt him insert some kind of liquid down IV Line and soon, I felt six hands hold me down to keep me in place as they wait for my shaking to stop.

My eyes closed immediately after I was able to breathe again but I was wheezing. My throat still feels full. They placed a small plastic down my nose and mouth that smelled something minty. My breathing became bearable, too. It was then I realized that he placed a breathing mask. I relaxed my hands and soon, I gave everything up. The pain was just too much. I want it all to end. If I don't die yet, I hope when I wake up, I will forget everything that happened to me.
