I heard footsteps.
Looks like someone came here.
Were they trying to find garbage or something?
No this was anime-Japan.
Things are quite clean here.
The footsteps crossed the corner.
"Ah there you are. I was getting quite worried"
It seemed like a familiar voice filled with but I couldn't care any less at this moment.
The footsteps came closer.
"Yo Kazama, you seem down. Did your imaginary crush leave you too"
Her oddly familiar voice was filled with teasing but she still couldn't hide the worry in it.
But once again, I couldn't care less for her at the moment.
She came to me and tried shaking my body.
"Kazama, did someth-HAAH!"
I lifted my head and she oddly screamed and jumped back.
"Kazama, what happened?"
She covered her mouth with her hands as tears started to slowly forming in her eyes.
Why?
Did someone hurt her?
I might need to bash someone's head for hurting her.
Hmm I was supposed to be angry but I oddly feel calm and cool at this moment.
Maybe this would help me in case there are multiple people bothering her.
Well, I should ask her first.
"What happened Tachibana? Who hurt you?"
I responded in a calm, soft and emotionless voice.
Hmm, could I reach these octave levels?
Wierd but ok I guess.
But Tachibana seemed to finally lose it and started crying out loud.
"KAZAMA! LOOK AT YOUR FACE!"
Hmm?
Was there dirt on it?
I opened my phone, there were oddly many missed call notifications and messages, but let's first check my face.
I opened the front camera and looked at my face.
It was just my normal face, my vacant and darkened eyes and expressionless look.
What was wier-ah I remembered!
"Nothing Tachibana, I am just tired of my two lives. It might finally be time to kick the bucket."
I respond in the same calm, cool and emotionless voice.
But Tachibana gasped and oddly started moving towards me.
What was so weird?
A man does need rest sometimes.
After all I have been struggling in these two lives so a break might be due before I start the third one.
But she came closer and suddenly my face turned to the side.
Huh?
She slapped me?
But why doesn't it hurt despite my head tilting towards the side?
Was this a new love slap or something Tachibana came up with to play around with me?
I turned my head towards her again.
She did the same for the other side too and my head turned to the left.
This is probably just a new game.
"YOU BASTARD! HOW DARE YOU SUFFER ALONE ALL THESE DAYS? CAN'T YOU TELL ME OR DO I EVEN NOT ENTER YOUR EYES THESE DAYS?"
Why was she yelling?
And besides why should I spoil her precious time on my wothless matters, or so I would like to say but it isn't a nice feeling to hear her yelling.
"So Tachibana, are you willing to listen to my story? It would take alot of your important time."
I feel like she deserves to hear it plus if she wants it I kind of feel obliged to tell her.
"YOU ASSHOLE! ALL MY TIME IN THE WORLD IS FOR YOU!"
She once again starts crying and gives those love slaps again.
Those words sure would tickle my heart if it wasn't already numb.
And so I told her my whole story from my previous life's birth right up to now.
✎﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏
Ahh!
I feel light.
A heavy load has been lifted off my chest.
But another one attached itself to my chest again.
I look down...
"I'm sorry Kazama, all this time didn't know you were suffering so much."
Tachibana was heavily crying on my chest.
"Its alright. I was the one who didn't tell you."
I respond with the same calm, cool and emotionless voice as I stroked her soft short hair.
Tachibana got startled and got up and held my face.
She looked straight into my eyes wile tears were pouring from hers.
"Kazama, please stay alive. Please don't die. I won't be able to live without you."
She pleads in a shaky voice.
"You say that but I don't have anything to attach myself to. I have no meaning in my life."
I respond with the same cal-no at this point shouldn't I just call it my normal voice.
Tachibana panicked and looked around.
What was she finding?
She didn't bring anything here so what was she even trying to search for.
And suddenly she looks back at me as if she found what she was looking for.
"Me! Attach yourself to me!"
Tachibana anxiously suggested.
Hmm?
Maybe if it was her since she never belonged to Yuuta.
Only I put effort on her, I realized.
And for the first time my eyes shook.
It seems like Tachibana noticed my reaction and felt shock.
"Aa... are you sure?"
My voice started to waver
"Yes!"
Tachibana got exited.
My heart seemed to melt.
Oddly it started hurting.
"I won't leave you alone anytime and anywhere, okay?"
I anxiously asked.
"Yes!"
She once again got exited and yelled.
My heart melted even more.
The pain is starting to take a toll.
"I won't leave you even in the next life either, is that fine?"
My anxiety increased even more.
"I WON'T LEAVE YOU EVEN AFTER 10 LIVES!"
She yelled out her heart.
I slowly lean down on her breasts.
"I see, then please save me Tachibana, I don't want to die again"
I reply in pain as my heart fully melts.
I start crying in her bosom.
"Yes, Kazama, please attach youself to me."
She whispers in my ear before crying once again.
Like that time passes.
