Shuichi closed the door to his apartment and looked around.

How had he made such a mess??

He began to clean up, picking up old clothes, doing the dishes, and just cleaning everything.
Afterwards he began to make his way to the bathroom so he could finally take a shower after, weeks?

Shuichi sat at his table alone. He thought about what he should do. What he could do. Had he really stopped the killing game? Did it really come to an end??

He fiddled with his thumbs until he heard his doorbell ring. He went over and pulled the door open to find Himiko and Maki.

Himiko instantaneously pulled Shuichi into a big unexpected hug. Shuichi patted her on the head as Maki watched.

"We were worried you know?" She said with a blank expression, "we tried multiple times to get in here and you didn't respond at all"

Shuichi scratched his head, "ah sorry," He thought for a moment trying to formulate words he could even say, "it's just.."

The three were silent.

Himiko backed away, tears still streaming down her face as she sniffled. "I-I thought you, you might've died"
If Maki could've grown more silent she would've.

Maki pulled Shuichi into a short hug and turned away "take care of yourself" she muttered, "we don't need anyone else dying"

"I'll try" Shuichi smiled.

All their eyes were red and puffy from crying.

They all went through the same heartbreaks.

None of them wanted to see anymore senseless killing.
