Sachi & Chikao: Hey Kaneki...
After the doors sudden shaking ended, Sachi and Chikao entered Kaneki's room to visit and talk to him.
Kaneki: ...
As usual no response from him.
Sachi: Sigh~
Seeing Kaneki's usual vegetative state, Sachi felt depressed.
Sachi: Not too long ago, Kaneki was full of life and now...
Chikao: Sachi it's alright, Kaneki WILL recover and return to us.
Chikao tried to reassure her but it barely worked.
Sachi: I know but... We did play in part of all of this.
Chikao: ...
Chikao knew that Sachi was right, but as well as.
Chikao: True. But regretting our past decisions won't do anything, but this is the least we could do.
Sachi: Yeah...
The two once again looked at Kaneki's body and the held onto his hands.
Sachi & Chikao: Kaneki...
And they began apologizing.
Chikao: I'm sorry for not helping you those past three months, as well as not talking to you when you were all alone.
Flashback*
Chikao: We're in the same class!
When I learned that I would be in the same class as you four, I was very happy.
Chikao: I wonder what those four are up to right now? Man I can't wait to see them!
Because of how my appearance had changed compared to back in middle school I gained more confidence and planned to invite you guys to a celebration party for entering Highschool.
Chikao: Huh? What?
But...
Yuuka: So what do you think of my—
Miku: Hehe~ Let's get along—
Shino: Are you free later—
When I saw those three hanging out with him and showing a lot more affection even though they love you made me confused.
Kaneki: ...
And when I saw you all alone, not talking to them...
Chikao: Kaneki...
Instead of scolding them for abandoning you, instead of comforting you when you lost the friends and family you spend most of you life with and were all alone...
Swoosh!
I ran away...
Flashback end*
Chikao: And I continued to do so, even when i became the class president I didn't do anything to help you or confront them.
Sachi: ...
Chikao: And even when I learned that those three were trying to apologize to you and fix their relationship with you, instead of scolding them steering them in the right direction... I assisted them in their plans. I'm sorry I didn't do better.
After Chikao finished, Sachi came after.
Sachi: You know Kaneki... I was actually angry at Shino, Yuuka and Miku when I first learned of what they had done.
Flashback*
Sachi: What?! Are you serious?!
Miracle: Mira! (Yes!)
The night before my family and I moved back here to Shimotsuki, I've sent Miracle to notify you guys.
But when she returned Miracle told me about how you four were no longer hanging out with each other, and how they were with a different boy as well.
Sachi: Tch! How could they?! And Shino of all people?!
I was confused and angry, the four of us loves you and wanted to be with you forever after all.
Flashback cut*
Sachi: Hehe~ Its honestly embarrassing I'm telling you that now...
Flashback*
And them doing such things to you? I couldn't believe it and many fearful thoughts came into my mind.
"Did they fall out of love with Kaneki?"
"Did they never loved Kaneki to begin with?"
I was anxious, we all shared the same wish of being with you forever but from what I heard I was scared that they were deceiving me the whole time.
Sachi: Huh?
Hachi: Hmm? What is it Sachi?
Sachi: Nothing!
But when my family and I returned to Shimotsuki, on our way to our old home I saw you eating crepes with Shino.
Sachi's thoughts*
(But Miracle said...)
I didn't know what was going on, so after my first day in Mato High I asked those three to meet up at our secret base to confront them.
Sachi: I'll get straight to the point, why did you three abandoned Kaneki?
I was still very angry at them, and their explanation to why they abandoned you didn't much help either.
Sachi: Are you thre happy?
But when i asked if they were happy for abandoning you.
They said they weren't.
Shino: Of course we're not happy...
Miku: There's no way we wouldn't feel regret, loosing him was like loosing a piece of ourselves. It hurts...
They told me about how they realized their mistakes, about how hurt they were for doing such things to you and how much they tried to make things right with you.
Sachi: I see, was there any progress?
And at that moment, I immediately decided to help them.
Flashback end*
Sachi: But instead of urging them to properly face you, I allowed them to do it their way... I hope you can forgive me for being such an idiot.
After apologizing to Kaneki, Sachi and Chikao let go of Kaneki's hands.
Sachi & Chikao: Please wake up Kaneki.
After saying this, the two left the room.
Sachi: We're done, we'll come back tomorrow.
Natsuki: You guys did well.
Seeing that both of them were feeling exhausted, Natsuki praised them.
Chikao: Good luck with Kaneki.
Natsuki: Thanks.
Natsuki then entered the room.
Sachi: Let's go home.
Chikao: Yeah, I'm exhausted...
And so after apologizing to Kaneki, Sachi and Chikao left and went back home.
Shut!
Natsuki: Kaneki...
After entering his room, Natsuki looked towards Kaneki's body before approaching him.
Natsuki: ...
She looked sadly towards him before sitting beside him.
Natsuki: You should've told me ffrom the beginning, Kaneki.
And she began talking.
Coompared to her friends, Natsuki was a bit more hostile in her talk towards Kaneki.
Natsuki: Why didn't you tell me? You wanted to protect them? Even after those three had hurt you so badly?!
But at the same time, sad as well.
Natsuki: You're too kind Kaneki... But if you told me maybe I could've helped more, maybe I could've fixed your relationship with them... Maybe... just maybe they wouldn't needed to lie to me.
Kaneki: ...
Even without Kaneki responding, she continued.
Flashback*
Don't you remember? What I told you back then?
Natsuki: Yes, so please let me share your burden, so even if it's a little. You could feel less pain.
Flashback cut*
Natsuki: We're friends aren't we? Did you not trust me enough to tell them?
As Natsuki was thinking that Kaneki didn't trusted her, she remembered her contact with Kaneki.
Flashback*
Kaneki: If the true Shiita-chan, Miyu-chan and Miha-chan were too appear again. You'll be allowed to do anything with them.
Flashback end*
Natsuki: No... You did trust me.. you were just afraid... Weren't you?
Realizing that Kaneki did trust her, she understood. Kaneki was just afraid.
Natsuki: ...
Understanding this, Natsuki said.
Natsuki: Even so you should've been more honest with me, we're friends after all.
After saying this, Natsuki stood back up whole still holding his hand.
Natsuki: I still have so much to say, but... For now I'll be going... So please come back Kaneki, let's talk properly soon.
Natsuki then let go of Kaneki's hands before walking to the door.
Natsuki: See you later Kane—
"vbqx huxje oc tdyv uiqubF"
Natsuki: !!!
Suddenly she was interrupted by a unintelligible sound.
Natsuki looked back but saw that Kaneki was still frozen in place.
Natsuki: ...
Shut!
She then left the room.
(Did I really hear something?)
Natsuki didn't know where the sound cam from, but little did she know.
"Tqcdyj!"
It was from Azuna.
