Memoria. | Kozume Kenma

34

Ever since I woke up, there's been a very unsettling feeling in my heart. When I woke up, I was crying and my chest felt incredibly heavy.. I was hurting in my sleep. Why?

"You're awake." I turn to my right, finding a man in a white coat. Who is he? "I'm Dr. Mitsunaka, I'm in charge of you.. I'm glad to finally see you wake up." Doctor..?

He took the mask off me and placed it on the side table. "W-Where am I..?" I try sitting up, panicking when I couldn't feel my legs— I mean I could but, they're weak. "W-What's wrong with me? W-Why can I not..?" The tears from when I was sleeping flowed more from panicking.

"You were in a coma for almost three months." A coma? What happened to me? Why am I here? "Do you remember anything?"

Do I remember anything? Images are popping up in my head, images or are these vague memories? I don't remember a thing... No... why can I not remember anything.. but who are these people that I'm seeing.. who...

There's a girl... a boy.. a team.. Who are these people? Who are they? Are they my friends...? All I can remember is my name, and my family. But things about myself.. I don't remember anything. Why did I lose my memories? How did I lose them? What happened before I got into a coma?

"Don't stress it out, it may be temporary. You'll be under observation for the time being, you may remember them." May? So there's a possibility that I wouldn't? "You'll be under anesthesia later, we'll get you checked up and with your body being that way.. you will have to undergo physical therapy to get yourself back on your feet."

"M-Mitsunaka-san.. W-Why am I here? W-Why was I in a coma?" I'm scared.. I was unconscious for months and.. did I almost die? But why can't I remember? Why..? "W-Will I remember anything?"

"For now, you should rest. Later, a pudding head will come over to see you. He'll drop something off. His name's Kozume Kenma." Kenma... why am I crying more?

He made me drink some medicine and rest. He left me all on my own in this room. I'm still crying.. my chest feels so heavy. Why am I crying? Why am I in pain? Why does it hurt to hear that name? I don't even remember anything about that person.. who is he?

Kenma.. Kozume Kenma.. who are you? Why do I feel like saying sorry? Why does the sound of your name makes me want to cry more? Why is there such an unsettling feeling in my heart whenever I think of your name? It hurts so bad.. I want to remember..

I don't know what makes me want to cry. If it's the sound of his name or.. if it's because of me not remembering anything at all. Amnesia.. I don't know if I have ever given it a thought of happening to me but, it's scary. I can only remember who I am, who my family is.. but my friends.

I feel hurt. I'm mentally drained— literally. I'm stuck with one person.. Kozume Kenma. Every time I try to say his name I feel like he's someone important. My heart feels so heavy whenever I think of his name, my head's full of his name.. full of him. I don't even know how he looks like.

I tried my best to cheer up. I wouldn't want to look like a mess to Kozume-san once he arrives. I have to look well and lively, I have to look a bit lively.. I can't make the person worry over me. We might not even be friends so troubling him is the last option.
