"I didn't- I don't think I cried just because of this." I stuttered as I covered the bruise.
"There's more?" Realizing Akira thought I meant Ryuu hurt me more, I quickly shook my head and turned around to face him. The words I was about to say died in my throat because of the piercing stare Akira was giving me.
He wasn't going to take anymore lies or excuses.
"...I just realized it's useless." I whispered, clenching my fists.
"...What's useless?" Akira softened up, but I didn't notice in my misery.
"Everything. Everything I did. Everything I didn't. My whole existence. Everything!" No longer able to stand in front of Akira due to shame, I turned and left.
"Haru!" Akira chased after me, which wasn't surprising, but I still couldn't face him. "Hang on! What do you mean? What happened?"
