...Kai. Were you really a bad guy...?

Bein' bad... that makes ya a good-for-nothing.

And you didn't seem to me like a good-for-nothing guy...

I dunno...

I jus' dunno...

...

Silence.

Not sure what was so entertaining about a drink cabinet, however it was something to stare at to take your mind off of things.

One bottle, two bottle...

...Who cares anymore.

The redhead took a large sip of beer, his brain fuzzy.

Only one image replayed in his mind.

Over.

And over.

And over.

If only he did more.

What else was there to do, though? He did all he could, right?

Sou Hiyori, that bastard.

It's your fault.

It's your fault that he died.

3 votes for you.

2 vote for Joe, from himself.

7 votes for him.

If only you had stayed quiet.

Now he's dead.

His corpse burned into his mind, his dying words being repeated over and over again.

"This is... resistance. Our lives toyed with to our enemy's whims, we are unable to save even a single person... As we die off, this is... my feeble... resistance. But it is one large step... toward counterattack...! It is a step I was able to take... because you bought me time. It is surely... not futile. I entrust them to you...! Our regrets...!! Our hopes...!! I... am satisfied."

Smash!

Fuck.

There goes that beer.

Glass was shattered all over the floor in the bar.

Seems the redhead must've thrown it in frustration without realising.

"Kai...!!"

"...KAI...!!"

He felt himself call the others name out again.

He really missed him.

Never even met the guy before, yet somehow made him feel like the happiest man alive.

They were together ever since introductions, absolutely inseparable.

Kai even voted him to be challenger despite everything Sara said, which he found very odd.

Why did he want him to survive more than he wanted Sara to?

He'll never know, now.

The redhead went back to looking at the drinks, clenching his fists in attempts to calm himself down somehow.

...?

Red seemed to be pouring from the bottles.

That was odd.

Then again, it's a bar.

Probably too much wine in them.

"Q-tarooo~"
