He had loved her for a very long time. Ever since they were children.
He knew that he would do anything for her.
He tried to make her jealous by going out with her best friend.
But she was just mad at him for troubling her.
He was waiting for her to realize that he loved her.
But she couldn't read the signs.
Then he came along.
He won her heart.
Yuta was mad.
Why didn't she look at him that way?
But he knew that he was also sad and lonely.
He had wanted her to look at him like that for so long, but when she finally started looking at someone like that, it wasn't him.
He had waited forever for her, but now he was denied.
It didn't matter. He helped them to get together. He loved her too much to see her cry.
He loved her enough to walk away.
As he did, he knew he would always be her friend.
It broke his heart to do so.
In the end it killed him.
She had known.
She had always known. After Ayu found out, she told her first thing.
But she didn't like him that way.
She hadn't liked anyone that way.
Until Him.
She had never felt this way.
She didn't know how to go about it.
But he helped her get the one she loved.
She was so happy.
She forgot her childhood friend.
She was the one that found him.
She had never felt so much pain.
Tsujai had just broken up with her. He was in love with someone else.
And as she saw him lying there in a pool of blood, she realized.
It was him that taught her.
He did it for her.
He had walked away for her.
This time, she thought as she took his bloodstained knife and killed herself, this time I will run after him.
Neither of them regret their choice.
