"Was it because I talked to Ryuuzaki that time? There's nothing going between us. I'd never choose anyone over you. You make me human. You keep me sane. You show me the good side of life.

Keigo starts laughing, laughing maniacally, bitterly, the kind of laughter where he's trying to burn up the pain that's in every cell of his body, the desolation that's got its claws sunk into his hips and the small of his back. The laughs deteriorate into one drunken sob, one sniff before they are cut off.
