The horror of what Kousuke has witness. His son, With red eyes from crying. And His wife, with her crazed look. How he regrets it. This moment will haunt his mind forever. "Alice!!!" He dragged Alice out of the room, then pushed her in the living room floor. Alice was just laughing all throughout the process. But her face was wet with tears. The insane woman cries with herself knowing. Kousuke got even madder seeing her state. He doesn't know what to do. They're both to blame. And their son suffered.
Soon, Tears welled up in Kousuke's eyes. "That boy there is your son! Our son! How could you!!!" He doesn't know what to do. doesn't know what to think. Kousuke ran his hand aggressively through his hair. Then, He grabbed his hair forcing himself to think. "Why? You could've cheated with other man out there! Why our son! How could you lay your fingers... his our son that YOU gave birth to, Alice!"
"Because I can't!!! When I think of other men touching me, I can't!!! I love you too much, you bastard. You forced my hand to do this!!! If you just come home more often!!! If you just STOP LYING TO ME!!! ...This wouldn't happen!"
"You're sick in the head, Woman!!! I can't even say your name anymore. I can't look at you!!! Leave this house! NOW!!!"
"Can't say my name! Whose name can you say, then?! Is it that Miya! And me? Leave?! So what?! So you can bring your slut in our home." Alice voiced cracked as she shouts at the top oof her lungs.
Alice tried to grab Kousuke. Stop face her. but Kousuke ignores her completely. She followed Kousuke as He went back in their room. Kenta is still in a daze. Kousuke sat him up and collect his clothes. He saw the clothes soiled so he threw it away and stormed out of the room, went to Kenta's room Packing his son's stuff hurriedly. "What are you doing! what are doing!!!" Alice wrestled Kousuke for Kenta's clothes but Kousuke avoids her. He grabbed a t-shirt and a pants while Alice took the clothes he packed out of the suitcase. He ignore her and went back to Kenta. Alice notice him too late in her frantic state.
Kousuke locked the door in their room. He carried his son in the bathroom and washed him haphazardly. He help him put on his clothes amidst Alice's banging on the door. He carried his son and hurriedly open the door. Alice stumbled down, But quickly got up. "You can't leave!!! Kenta don't leave mommy!!!" But Her voice didn't reach Kousuke. Kenta cried from the confusing turn of event. He doesn't want to stay but somewhere in his heart says he needs to stay. Kousuke buckled Kenta up in the backseat of his car. Alice tried to get in but he pushed her hard. After getting in the driver's seat. he quickly start the car and left. All this has happened without him glancing at Alice after their argument. Once he decided she doesn't exist, he treats her like air. Kousuke has always been like these, especially when it hits his bottom line. That's why Yoshikazu is the only friend he have. Cause he's the only one that didn't betrayed him.
---------
They arrived at the Ryugasaki's apartment building after dinner. Kousuke was in a trance all throughout the way. He found out too late that he drove on the way to his friend's house. He looked back at Kenta. ' He's asleep...' And that's when he let his tears slide down. He was wallowing in sorrow and self-pity when he heard a knock. Outside is Yoshikazu with a cigarette in his mouth. He frowned at Kousuke's tears and signaled for him to come out. "What's the matter? Yumi told me that you guys didn't want us to visit for a while. What's going on?" Yoshikazu saw Kenta asleep in the back, in a messy outfit. "Why don't you bring Kenta inside the house. Yumi is with the kids right now. They went to the nearby Park. Rest and you'll feel better."
Yoshikazu already felt that something is going on with his friend right now. He decide to invite the Father and son in and wait for his friend to tell him what's wrong.
In the nearby Park, Chiyo is watching Akihiko and Ryu make a sand castle. If you look at the group of three, one small and two big kids, You'll think that the five year old looked like a foreman watching his people make a building. Chiyo's arms are crossed in her chest that would occasionally uncross just to point a crooked part. Yumi watch the kids play together by the bench. Her phone rang and Chiyo saw her mother slightly turn to the side and covered her mouth. Clearly, there seems to be a very important conversation between her mother and the one who called. Worried, she slowly walk to her mother. But her mother got up before she even reach her. "Kids, I think it's time to go." Chiyo took Yumi's hand and the two boys brushed the dust off their clothes.
"Aki, Ryu... Can you guys make it home from here? We have an important thing to do at home. Is that okay?" Yumi's frown cause the two boys to look at each other and nod. "We'll see you next time... Take care on your way home."
"Bye, Chiyo! Auntie!" Ryu smiled and wave at the mother and daughter. "I'll call you later , Chiyo-sama! Take care!" Akihiko did the same but with much enthusiasm.
"Mom, Is something wrong? Did dad get in any trouble?" Chiyo probed her mom for details as she feels that something serious have happened. "Dad's friend needs us, so we need to go home. Let's buy some groceries on our way home."
"Is there a guest at home?" Chiyo asked curiously. "Yeah, Uncle Kousuke and your friend, Kenta."
"But I thought they said Kenta doesn't want to see me." Yumi looked at her daughter with sadness in her eyes. "It's a bit serious, darling... All you need to know is try to be nice to Kenta, for now, Okay?" Chiyo nodded as she watch her mom's worried look. 'Did something happen at the Takatori's?'
