"No way. (Moved by the video, Riko tears up as he slowly drops the phone on his body then look at Jaden) I am so sorry for your lose." "It's...okay. (Jaden sadly smiles as he looks at Riko and sees tearing) Why are you caring?" "I do not even know. (Riko gently cleans his tears) The emotions of the video was too much. It got to me." "Such is life. And you? (Jaden looks up inorder to avoid his tears from falling) What's your own sad story like?" "It's worse (Riko frowns a bit) than you can ever imagine." "Are you serious? (Jaden looks at him) Even worse than my own?" "With a big gap." "Then I'm guessing it's not something you can tell a person?" "I believe so. (Riko lowers his head before Jaden) Gomen." "Why are you apologising? (Jaden calmly raises up Rikos head) I get it alright. I know how hard and painful it is to remember something you tried some much to forget. The only problem is that some of them are not that easy to forget when it's written all over your body yet hardly ever seen by the people around you or people in general. So you don't need to apologise. People will always talk so always do what makes you happen when its in the positive aspect. And always remember that if you dwell in the past; your life may not life. Never let your past determine your future." "Arigato gozaimas."(Smiling, Ruko starts crying again as he lowers his head before Jaden again) "Hey. (Jaden gently laughs as he wipes Eikos tears off) Why are you crying and thanking me again?" "Because nobody has ever told me such a thing in my life. No matter how many people I've talked to and interacted with, none of them have ever been able understand the pain that has chained me all my life. I had to live like a dog emotionally but after hearing everything you just said and watching your video, it changed my whole mindset of thinking." "Well, sometimes it's takes just a word to turn a hero into a villain and at the same time turn a villain into a hero." "So you're (Riko looks at Jaden) calling me a villain?" "No that not (Jaden calmly scratches his hair while look at the ceiling) what I meant." "Baka. (They both laugh) But you didn't lie anyway. I always looked at myself like a villain because I never felt accepted intl this world." "If the world turns its back on you, you turn your back on the world. All you need is God." "Are you (Riko squeezes his eyes while looking at Jaden) a poet?" "Did I say too much? (Jaden smiles) Sorry I got carried away." "No not that. Why I asked is because you're really good at quotes." "Thanks. (Jaden stands up) I guess our visit to the church has been cancelled." "No. (Riko struggles but he stands up as well) You really want to go so it's time to make things right." "But you're not in a good shape Riko. (Jaden looks at Riko from down to up) Your condition is terribl-" "A little hit from a car won't kill me (Riko smiles) that easily." "You've got a lot of cast on your body." "I'm aware but I can still walk. It's time (Riko places his right hand on Jadens left shoulder) to make things right Jaden. (Then he wraps that same right hand around Jadens neck as it rests on his shoulders) I'll book a cab so that way we could go faster." "If that's what you really want then (Assisted by Jaden, Riko and him walk out of Rikos ward) fine by m-" "He has (The doctor incharge of Riko walks up to them) not yet fully recovered." "Don't worry about me doc. (Riko gives the doctor some money) If my bill isn't complete then call me." "W- what." "See you later. (They exit the hospital) He should be (pressing his phone, Riko looks around the hospital driveway) Here any moment now." "He's (A cab driver parks at their front) here." (Jaden puts Riko into the cab and enters) "The nearest hospit- sorry my bad. (Riko laughs then he continues telling the cab driver) The church where the famous old priest lives." "The basilica?" "Yes." "Okay." (The cab driver takes off whole Jaden and Riko talk) "Have you ever been (Jaden looks at Riko) there before?" "I told you my religion forbids such." "Uh. Forgive my manners. No offence." "None taken. (Riko smiles as he looks at Jaden) And you? You a Catholic too or your religion...?" "I'm a Catholic. Just nkt as holy as the cas may be." "I see. Doing some dirty work ay?" "Not really. (Jaden breathes out) But right now for some reason I do not know; my covenant with God has been broken so I need to know what is the reason behind it and how to fix it before it's too late." "I see-" "we're (The cab driver pulls over in front of the basilica) Here." "Alright. (They het down then Jaden brings out money to pay) Don't worry. (Riko pays and the cab driver leaves) Bills are on me. I hope you find the answers you seek." "Thanks. (Jaden smiles) And you? Where will you be?" "Right (Riko looks around the basilica surroundings) here." "What if I waste time?" "That's not a problem. (Riko smiles) I've got free fire and call of duty mobile to keep me busy." "You've got anime too?" "Is that (Riko opens his phone and shows Jaden his anime list) a question?" "Then you're set. (Jaden calmly laughs) I'll be back as soon as I can. (Jaden walks into the basilica. Inside the building, Jaden looks around in amazement) What a beautiful play. (He sees an old priest in front of an alter on his knees praying) This must be the priest Riko talked about." (He walks close to the old priest) DO not come any closer. (Still on his knees, the old priest opens his eyes and look at the alter) I sense an unclean soul."
