Third person POV
Later, at 12:22 p.m., once Asato was discharged from the IV pole, he and Kiyona get some food and drink and went to Gen's room. Then, Asato knocked on the door, and Gen responded in a monotone voice, "Come in." Asato then opened door, and he and his girlfriend come in, seeing Gen in such a wretched state.
"Um, Gen-san, are you okay?" Asato asked.
Hearing that, Gen looked at him. "What?"
He then buried his face with his hands.
Asato then handed the tray to Kiyona and slowly and cautiously approached him. He then took away Gen's dagger and gun. "How are you?"
But Gen noticed that, and he begged him to kill him because he couldn't handle his guilt and shame anymore.
Then, Kiyona stepped in. "He's been telling me that, too."
Asato then put Gen's weapons on the bed, and looked at Kiyona. "Is that so?"
Kiyona then nodded to say yes.
Because of that, Asato thinks for a while, concerning about Gen's well-being as a person.
And then, Gen is about to share his backstory to Asato when Kiyona said to him, "You don't have to. He already knew that."
"You tell him?" Gen glanced at her.
"Yes, and he felt bad for you."
Then, Asato was done thinking, and he said to Gen, "Don't worry, we're right here. We'll listen to you, no matter what you'll say, okay?"
Gen then removed his hands from his face and looked at Asato. "Really?"
Asato then nodded with a smile. "Yes, I forgive you for killing me, too."
Kiyona then nodded in siding with her boyfriend.
Because of their kindness and sympathy to him, Gen stopped sulking and kneeled before Asato on one knee.
"Thank you so much," he said. "I'll do whatever I can to reverse this outbreak."
"Uh, you don't have to do that," Asato frantically responded to this. "It's fine. I'm not that serious or dominant at all."
"I see."
Gen then stand up and get his weapons.
Then, Kiyona gave him that tray. "Here. You haven't eaten since this morning."
Gen then accepted it and sat on his bed, eating his simple meal, which was consisted of store-bought, ready-to-eat food and a bottle of water.
Watching this, Asato was happy that Gen had managed to regain his morality and confidence in life.
He and Kiyona became Gen's first friends. It was because he was a loner since childhood.
