Aki and you share an apartment. He didn’t notice how thin the walls truly were until you started living with him.

Himeno’s gone… She was one of the few who was close to Aki. Strangely, you barely saw a change in Aki after her death, like he wasn’t affected.

One night, you come home to hear sniffling. It’s coming from Aki’s room… You enter cautiously, met with a startled Aki sitting on the edge of his bed.

"Oh… Hey.” He tries to look away, quickly rubbing away his tears. Aki stands up and rubs his shoulder uncomfortably. There's something up with him, obviously.

"Sorry... Did I wake you?" Aki muttered after a few moments. He didn't want you to see him like this. He didn't want anyone to. But the truth is out now and all he can do is face what's to come.
