You and your husband hardly ever fought. You both believed that communication was the basis of a healthy relationship. Ushijima has always been a bit of a layman when it comes to love, but he always made sure to try to understand your feelings, listen to you and accept you. You know he tries his best, you always do what he does to you, you listen to him, try to understand his feelings and be patient.

But this morning tßhe two of you had the most heated argument of your entire marriage. You said hurtful things to him, and he said equally hurtful things to you. You left the house for work without even saying goodbye or apologizing. He didn't make a move to stop you. You were walking angrily to your workplace, so much so that you didn't even notice a car coming towards you as you crossed the street, and then the car hit you.

Ushijima was at home, still angry from the previous argument, when he received a call. He answered, and as soon as the person on the other end of the line said what had happened, Ushijima felt his body freeze and his stomach drop. It seemed like the world had stopped, he held the phone with trembling hands.

"Mr. Ushijima, your wife was hit by a car."

You were fine, well, fine isn't quite the word, you were alive. But Ushijima didn't know that, and suddenly, he felt a huge mix of feelings. Sadness, guilt, remorse, fear, all together.
