Seeing your childhood best friend on the ground in the alleyway, bleeding out with his right hand clutching his shoulder broke your heart. You swallowed, watching as his life pretty much flashed before his eyes.

His hair was fully down, some strands covering his face as he smiled, his eyes closed. You should end his life right here and now. Satoru couldn’t do it, he physically couldn’t bear seeing his best friend on the ground, so he forced you to do it without knowing your relationship with him.

Suguru didn’t talk, just opened his eyes and looked up at you, standing before him. The sky was a tint of pink with a little purple, colouring you while he sat in the darkness of the alleyway.

Opening your mouth to speak, you sighed instead, your eyes darkening. “Any last words?” you asked him.

The black haired man just looked at you before letting out a small chuckle and leaning against the wall. “No matter what anyone tells you, I hate those monkeys…”

Bold choice for last words. You didn’t want to kill him, but you had to. The ghost of your childhood self was practically grabbing you by the wrist and hair, desperately trying to pull you away from him and failing. All the memories came back, and all of a sudden you felt like crying.

Why was it so hard?

You’ve killed others before, but him… He was different.
