Of course, I knew that's where this interview was going.

Yes, I've seen him a few times in the hall, heard his name over the intercom when they announced what happened. Yeah its sad, but the only thing I care about is that it's interfering with my campaign.

What campaign? Well, since you're from the news you wouldn't have heard. Me and three others are running for Class President. I, obviously, have the highest chance to win. It's cute how the others think they'll win against me when I have the cutest Vice Prez of them all!

He goes by Felix. He won't let me call him anything else, or anyone but the teachers for that matter. I know that's not his real name but it's what he likes. If "he" really is a "he" but it's his call. Whatever. He wears girls clothes at school because that's what they provided him with, but he's cute in them and very feminine looking, it's a tactic for winning popularity.

And the only reason my campaign is suffering because of that guy's accident is because Felix knew him. Same class, maybe even distant friends.

He has some… experience with death, and doesn't want it to happen to someone he knows and/or cares about. That's why his life's goal is to become a doctor. He has spent every day in the library researching comas and medicinal remedies.

All the while, I have been trying to strengthen my campaign. Although no one seems to pay attention to it. Or to the election at all. That is why I decided to start this fund. I have began to ask teachers and faculty if I could put posters up around the school, along with Felix of course, in order to spread awareness. We have raised well over ¥114,149 from donations by students, faculty, and even the townsfolk.

Word is, about a month into his coma, his parents allowed for visitors from school. Apparently some blue haired girl from his class kept breaking into the hospital to be with him. With this news, Felix and I decided we would visit.

Felix's father had previously been the head neurosurgeon at the hospital where Subaru resides, before he was tragically killed with Felix's mother in a car crash. This had completely shattered Felix, who was now working to gain the hospital, one of the only things he had of his parents left, back from the ones who had taken it. Don't ask me who, his business is his business.

Now, back to the interview about me and my run.

Felix, a school newspaper writer named Otto Suewen (a very skittish boy, one that might be useful to keep around), and myself made our way to the hospital. We had our student I.D.s at the ready, as it was what was allowing visitors from the school to visit. Suewen-San took notes in a small notebook on the status he was in.

His heartbeat was slow, as if sleeping. Well, he was in a coma so that was a give-in. His face had scars, from surgery no doubt. On his cheek was a pair of lips, made from a pale pink lipstick. The blue haired girl, perhaps? I thought to myself. His arm was turned so the palm of his hand was facing upwards.

"It's too bad I wasn't allowed to bring my camera," Suewen-San mumbled, "But I can draw. Karsten-San, could you please take Subaru-San's hand?"

I did as the mousy reporter said as he quickly made a sketch in an open page in his notepad. I had seen his art before in the School Paper, he was quite good and would make it seem real. When he finished, I took my hand away slowly.

Felix hadn't come as close as me. He stood near the entrance with his hands behind him, he had a grim look on his face. He knew comas were just another step from a death sentence. I looked at him and said, "Would you like to say something Felix? You knew him better than us two."

"A-Actually, I've kno-"

Felix cut Suewen-San off, even though he was barely even talking, "He would hardly come to class, more recently than anything," he looked at some of the medical equipment, "During Junior High, he was seemingly happy, but something happened between then and his first year of High School. Subaru was different. He showed up less and less, and eventually only came once or twice a week."

"Interesting," Suewen-San muttered as he jotted notes, riding each word coming from Felix, still in his school issued female uniform. It was possible Suewen-San didn't know Felix went by "he" at all, "And would you happen to know what caused the change?"

Felix thought for a moment, "It was around the time I had come out," Come out? As male perhaps? "But that isn't what caused it. I'm sure it was because his life was-" He stopped.

"Was what?" Suewen-San and I said in near unison.

"Too normal," Felix took a seat on the circular doctor's chair that had been under a computer, "Only child, Mother and Father who love him, average height, hair color, hair length, eye color, voice, stature. Average grades. He had the same schedule every day. Go to school, come home, possibly work out for a short amount of time, eat, go to bed. Repeat."

"What you're saying is-"

Again, he interrupted Suewen-San, "With nothing changing, it could drive a person into madness or extreme depression. Perhaps that's why Rem took to him. Thinking she could help him perhaps."

"Rem?" I asked, now intrigued. She was one of the students who were supporting one of my opponents. Or at least was friends with her. Rem Inori, I would have to speak with her.

"Anything else Felix?" Suewen-San asked, adding one last note to his notepad.

"I know Subaru used to have a crush on me, and even asked me out between Junior High and High School. Right after I came out."

"And?" Suewen-San seemed interested, trying to hide it and failing.

"I said no, obviously," Felix answered as he removed the notepad from his hands along with the pen, and scratched out the part he had just said, "Do not put that in the paper Suewen-Kun. If you do, you'll see me angry. You don't want me angry do you?"

He pulled off a cute look into Suewen-San's eyes, who blushed and nodded.

What a fool. I thought to myself, and looked back to Subaru. I didn't want to leave. Something about him, despite not being there entirely, was pulling. As if I wanted to know him better.

I just pity him. That's all.

I look to the door, and see a small girl with blond hair peeking in.

Perhaps she does too?
