It had been. An interesting day, I had spent the whole day with Kokichi, why? Well... It was his birthday, I noticed no one seemed to well, really care. So I thought the most i try do was keep him company for once, even if it meant my own suffering. But for one of the first times he generaly thanked me, like really honestly did, it caught me off guard at first, Kokichi out of all people thanking me for the crappy lollipop gun I bought him, but he seemed happy.

It was the end of the day, the night sky sat above her as he watched it through the dome which blocked our escape, the stars shiner bright, millions covered the sky creating a soft light. It was, peaceful... We were both in our pj's and Kokichi had a cupcake with a candle on, we were just enjoying the silence until he had something that was not only utterly out of character for him but left me speechless

"where do you think we go when we die saihara-chan".

Hearing that from Kokichi of all people caught me off guard and his tone was different... Softer, more... Calm, as if a wave of tiredness has overwashed him and just made him, well, honest.

I found myself stuttering before able to talk

Shuichi: "I'm not sure... But... I hope it's somewhere nice... Maybe like, heaven..."

I looked to the purple hairedboy beside me, he wore his smile but it seemed, softer... He looked happy... But... Not like happy happy, it's like that happiness you feel when your accepting something sad...
