When Yuki blinked, the scene vanished, and before her was a scene from her past life.
Jiro looked miserable. He was holding her hand in his. They were in the hospital room where she woke up after her comma.
There were dark circles around his eyes and his usually calm expression was replaced by a paled face, bearded countenance, and an almost unrecognizable scowl.
He was on the phone and talking with someone, "Are you sure, it was the governor... Then, I was right, that person was a gunman..." His fist clenched as he mentioned the words.
"I'll never let the governor get away with what he did, I will never let anyone hurt Yuki again," Jiro's voice has never been this angry before, it was murderous and determined.
"If I have to convince him his plans worked, then I will. I'll do everything to keep Yuki safe," Jiro said as he kissed her forehead and whispered in her ears.
