"It's a bit too late for that, huh?" || SaiOuma/OumaSai ANGST

Chapter Three; We All Make Mistakes

Once I got home, I went to bed right away. Instead of sleeping, I just sat there for a while staring at the ceiling and thinking. Thinking about everything that has happened recently, which resulted in more crying. The crying stopped about thirty minutes after it started and I ended up falling asleep. 

—————————+—————————-

"Hey? Shuichi?" Everything was so bright, and it took my eyes some time to adjust. I just looked at my feet as I registered what in the world was happening, I realized I was in my killing game clothing.

"Shuichi! Hey, pay attention!" The voice said to me firmly.

'A voice..? Wait, I know this voice..'

I picked my head up slowly to see the infamous Kokichi Oma standing in front of me, his hands were behind his back like any other one of his crazy poses. If you were to peek behind him you would see bloody footprints that led up to where he was at that moment, it was clear he had come from whatever afterlife there is. A few tears slipped from my eyes as I felt my hands cover my mouth. I opened my mouth to say something, but my voice didn't seem to work. 

"I can only talk for a minute or so, so you better make it quick!"

What did he mean? I didn't call him here, did I? I said nothing for a couple seconds and uncovered my mouth, when I did speak I was only able to let out his name very quietly.

"Kokichi..." Tears rolled from my eyes as I looked into his, they looked happy. I could tell this was quite emotional for him as well, as there was a tint of sadness in his eyes. There was a bit of silence before he responded, but he did respond.

"That's me!" he did that goofy grin he always did before continuing, "sucks that I'll never respond to it again, huh?" 

More tears stung my eyes, my face growing warm. I wanted to reply, yet I couldn't. He seemed to understand this and gave me a genuinely empathetic smile.

"I'm sorry by the way," He finally said, my eyes widened at the sentence. I didn't expect that one bit, he didn't seem like the person to apologize. I guess Kokichi's always full of surprises.

"But it's a bit too late for that." His eyes met mine and my eyes met his. I wanted to immediately forgive him and apologize, but it was like I was frozen in time and my body couldn't move a muscle.

"You're alone, Kokichi."

"And you always will be."

He slowly gave me a warm smile as if reading my thoughts and continued,

"I've already forgiven you a long time ago, let go of it Shuichi."

"But,"

"No buts, accept it and move on." 

"Kokichi.."

"I've made many mistakes, I've learned from them and moved on. Now you should do the same." Kokichi gave me a look of reassurance and looked at the path behind him.

"Kokichi, I'm so sorry.."

"I know, it's okay," he paused, "we all make mistakes, Shuichi."

Those were the last words he said to me before I jolted upright in my bed, the alarm blaring.

"Kokichi!" I screamed at the air, but no one was there. I was awake, I couldn't go back. 

"Let me go back!" His words echoed in my head over and over again like a broken record. 

"We all make mistakes, Shuichi."

'Thank you, Kokichi. Even if it was just in my head, thank you..'

I hadn't even realized I had started crying until I was pulled out of my daze by Maki and Himiko suddenly walking into my room. 

Himiko looks a bit different nowadays. Her hair is semi-pulled up and she wears some natural kind of makeup, she goes to the gym a lot so she also is pretty skinny. Going to the gym doesn't stop her from sitting on the couch watching Magical Girl anime's while eating Lays though. She wears skirts a lot and if I were to describe her 'aesthetic' I would call her what Maki has told me is called a 'soft girl'? She works at a restaurant as an entertainer, her specialty is magic if you didn't already guess. Today she's wearing this pink sweater kind of thing with a black skirt, and some platform boots. She's still very short by the way, so it's not really a surprise she would wear that.

"Guys, why the hell are you in my house?" 

"We were gonna stop over, but when we got here we heard you scream." Maki explained calmly, while Himiko looked like she was ready to square up with someone.
