The basketball players and the manager waited outside in a white room in the hospital. There was a serious and awkward atmosphere around the teenagers. Suddenly, Aomine snapped. He kicked the garbage can and it fell. He punched the wall and then he kept on banging on the wall. This caused the rest of the teenagers except for Akashi to break down. Murasakibara whimpered and fell to his knees with a look of shock and began to cry. Momoi began to sob heavy sobs again and becan to cry out, "Tetsu! Tetsu! Don't leave us yet! Tetsu!" Kise put his head again the wall and his arm on the part of the wall above his head. The blond cried saying that he wasn't ready to lose Kuroko again. Midorima sat down on the floor against the wall and put his hand over his eyes covering his tears. Kagami fell to the floor and hit his fist on the white floor. He cried saying that he wasn't ready to lose Kuroko. Akashi sat there on the bench with his head down looking at the floor. When Aomine saw that, he broke loose.
"You heartless bastard! Can't you mourn a little bit for Tetsu! Can't you see that he is suffering right now? I'm tired of your emperor shit, Akashi! Can't you just be a normal person for once? Or is it that you can lower yourselves to cry like us, Akashi!? IS IT THAT!?" screamed Aomine as he was moving toward his former captain
Aomine raise his arm to punch Akashi. Kagami, Kise, Midorima, and Murasakibara pulled Aomine back preventing him from harming the crimson haired captain. Momi tried to soothe Aomine but he didn't pay any attention to his childhood friend. The dark skinned teen fought the boys who held him back from hitting Akashi and continued yelling at him. Akashi still stayed silent and kept looking at the floor.
"…I hope you won't ever forget what Tetsu meant to us, Akashi, I really hope you don't…" said the Aomine while a look of pain spread across his face.
When the tanned boy topped, they could hear faint crying sounds coming from Akashi. Akashi looked up with tears in his eyes and tears coming down his cheeks. The teens were so surprised to see Akashi acting like this. They had never even seen him look sad, never less cry before.
Akashi looked at Aomine with the tears dripping down his cheeks and said to him, "Of course I do Daiki. I remember everything he did for me. I remember every expression he had. Every game he played. Every pass he made to me, Daiki. I remember him practicing with us in Teiko. I remember how he played basketball against me. I remember what he meant to me, Daiki, and I wouldn't forget him for anything." finished the boy with his voice cracking with sadness as he spoke.
Just then, the surgeon walked in.
