Rika's surgery was done. I as bewildered at the words of Dr. Natsume immediately after the operation. And awaiting me were the days of everyday life. Days much too mundane and senseless to assess. The bewilderment was to change in the shape of a reality check. "Don't ever see Rika again. You're a nuisance". On the other hand, Natsume, the one delivered the statement, has been avoiding me ever since. On the night that I went out on a wild spree out of frustration, he disclosed his past to Akiko-san. It was a night where the emotions of one who lost something, and one on the verge of losing something, clashed.
