What if instead of Takemichi still trying to save Mikey after Draken's death, he gives up. Wanting to end it all on the roof, Mikey is surprising there. "If you're so adamant on saving me, then join me in the future. Join Bonten and be my bitch." "...Sure."

It's like looking into the fissures and cracks of his childhood friend into a mirror. The previous parts of his hero melded with his current self altogether making their childhood memories washed away from the shore of his being as if it never existed in the first place.

How can a person know everything at 18, but nothin' at 22?

(Discontinue) You hurt me, Now the darkness had swallowed me. It hurts me to see you happy. The voices won't stop whispering. It hurts me to see I'm not making you laugh anymore. Now I completely fall to the darkness, alone.

So, in this, takemichi saved everyone but he had re-live his entire life. He has a kind AnD loving mom but a dirty abusive old man. He had loads of friends, for 14, he was happy. Or was he? Takemichi has seen death, he has seen everyone he love die, he had to experience trauma, he had to experience all of the abuse over again. Takemichi was a happy, friendly, energetic boy, who was in a gang, but it has been.. peaceful. Takemichi wasn't depressed, just because he thought of su!c!de once in a while doesn't amke him depressed, just because he would grab a razor AnD sl- *ehem* author here, he is unconsciously depressed. *DEF NOT PROJECTING FEELINGS, ME? NAHHH* (No ships)
