     *Shuichi pov*

     /there was a time skip, they are now walking on a bridge and just talking/

"Did you get to pick who you could watch?"  I asked him

"Nope, I'm just lucky I got assigned to you!"  He responded, I laughed.  Kokichi looked over to the side, out onto the water underneath the bridge.

"Omigod!  Shumai watch this!"  He shouted and hopped onto of the wall of the bridge.

"Kokichi get down!  You're going to get hurt!"  I yelled to him,

He jumped off.

I just stood there in shock, tears forming in my eyes.

I ran over to the edge and looked for him, screaming his name.

"Kokichi!!  Kokichi where are you?!"  I yelled, but the sounds of the running water swallowed my screams.

"Aw my Shumai really cares about me!"  I heard Kokichi's voice from behind me.  I quickly turned around and saw him floating.

Oh.

Right.

He's a ghost.

"I- uh.."  I mumbled, he came over to me.

"Nee-hee-hee!"  He laughed,

I didn't know what to say, and even if I tried to talk, nothing would come out.

After about a minute Kokichi broke the silence.

"How did you get out of there?"

"Out of where?"

"Danganronpa.."

I stood there, memories flooding back to me.

"After Kaede died, it took a few days but the door eventually opened and we were all set free.  It was actually the day after.. uh.. you died.."  I said, holding back my tears.

I never forgave myself for what happened to him, and I never will forgive myself.

"Once I got out, there was nothing there for me.  I was living with my uncle for a while until I found a job, it's not a very good pay but it's enough to pay rent.  About 2 months after we got out, I was really depressed, and I started cutting myself.  I almost bled out once because I cut too deep.  No one really knows that though.."  I added, Kokichi looked at me with big sad eyes.

"Y'know Shumai, when I was alive I got into the habit of cutting myself too.."  He said, rolling up his sleeves.  He showed me his forearm, there were faint scars there.

"Was it.. because of me?"  I asked him,

"No!"  He was lying.

I took his hands and held them in mine.  Circling my thumbs on his skin.  

"I'm really sorry.."  I apologized,

"It's fine, really!"  He said, but I knew he was lying.  That's the one part I hated about him!

"Kokichi.."  I said softly, his hands were still in mine.

"Mhm?"

"I love you.."  I admitted,

"Oh.. Shuichi I feel like I should tell you.."  He pulled his hands away from mine.

"What?"

"I have a boyfriend.."
