I'm not afraid to die
What I am afraid of is never seeing you again...
Accepting the job from Kougami, Date Akira had no true conviction about getting the money. In all honesty, he was sure he was going to die long before the full payment, either from the Yummies or from the bullet.
Then he met Gotou Shintaro.
Up until now, I've never been in love
So even now, I don't know if this is love
What I do know is...What I do know it...
He didn't know what emotion this reckless kid invoked, whether it was awe or annoyance or god forbid, love that popped up whenever he saw how driven Gotou was, protecting the civilians without the armor he and Eiji had.
He knew he wanted to keep watching him.
Up until now, I've never been afraid of anything
So I don't know why I'm trembling this much
What I do know is... What I do know is...
The more he saw Gotou, the worse the pain in his head became. And the more pain he felt, he realized he was afraid. Afraid that this would be it, the last hit, that he would die without telling Gotou how much he meant to him. Of dying without seeing Gotou one last time.
I want to see you...
I want to see you...
And then Maki, creepy as he was, offered him 50 million, at the drop of his head. All he had to do was work for the Greeds.
In order to see you,
I want to live right now.
With Gotou's face in mind, he agreed.
