Leo noticed her thoughts were troubled. You still wish you could see?, Leo asked her in thought.
It's like you read my mind. Keiko replied, a grin coming over her.
Haha, Leo told her. But seriously, what's wrong?
Should we? Keiko asked Leo, exhaustion hitting her suddenly.
Should we what?, Leo asked confused.
Should we tell her that I'm blind?, Keiko wondered worriedly.
Should I tell Hannah for you?, I mean if it bothers you that much, then I should do it for you. Leo told her, genuinely worried for his best friend.
Thanks Leo, Keiko said, thankful to have a friend like him, But I have to do this, by myself. It's the only way she can accept it, by hearing it from me alone.

Keiko and Leo fell asleep, but Keiko was launched into a flashback.
She was in the same room as the one they are in now, but there was only one chair in the middle of the room, instead of three. Keiko was able to see in this dream, weirdly enough, but this felt real. There was the window, next to the steel door, low enough for her to look out of. Outside there was a truck, and someone was being carried out, it was a boy with a familiar look to him. Keiko realized that it was Leo, being carried into the building. She saw a figure sitting in the corner of the room, a lonely little girl, missing the outside world, tears streaming from her sightless eyes. That little girl, was a younger, more timid, Keiko.
