February 20th, 2010, it had been a week since Hagi's return, and things started to go downhill for everyone. Saya had found out about Hagi's flower, the flower that indicated Hagi was still alive, the same flower Frank had taken by accident and was planning on surprising Saya with as a gift. Everyone was together in Saya's hotel room, as Saya showed a side of herself that Frank had never seen before.
"How could you do this!? This whole time I thought Hagi was dead!"
Frank stood there feeling like a fool, holding the flower and blue ribbon.
"I didn't know what it was for; it was an accident"
"You don't just take stuff like that! It was near my crypt! Why would you take something that was supposed to be on someone's grave!?"
Saya was getting even angrier at Frank's incompetence.
"I didn't know it was a grave at the time, I just liked how it looked. Please, Saya, don't be mad at me, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry"
Frank pleaded with Saya.
"This whole time I thought Hagi was dead, I know I told you how I felt but you didn't actually know. All the things we went through, and that night, do you know what it's like watching the person you love get crushed under a building!? To think they're dead!? How could you take the only clue that showed he was alive!?"
Saya was demanding some kind of a better answer.
"I never meant to hurt you…it was an accident…I'm sorry…"
Saya could only take so much from Frank before she finally lost it, she went over to Frank and slapped him hard across the face before taking the rose.
"Mistake or not, you caused me pain because of what you did. I love Hagi, do you understand that?…do us a favor and just leave"
"What do you mean leave?"
"Frank, I don't want to see or hear from you ever again"
Frank was stunned at Saya's words.
"Saya wait, you, you promised me…please don't leave me"
Saya opened the door to her room, queuing Frank to leave. He stood there, the pain in his heart somehow outweighing the pain of being smacked. Frank looked up at Hagi with tears in his eyes as he tried to make out words.
"Hagi, please…please explain to her this was a mistake, please"
Frank tried to see if Hagi would reason with her, but could tell by his emotionless expression that he didn't care.
"Saya please…"
"Get out; I'm not going to ask you again"
Frank slowly walked out with the door slamming behind him, as he exited the hotel he tried his best not to cry. Walking around New York City in an upset daze, he made his way to central park, to the very same place where Frank told Saya how much he loved her. He sat on the bench all alone, before finally crying.
Frank was crushed, but he was also hurt, angry, never had he hated so many things. He hated taking that flower, he hated Hagi for coming back, he hated Saya for rejecting him, and he hated ever meeting Saya in the first place. All he wanted to do was forget about her and move on, but like a lot of the things in his past, he knew he had a long road ahead of him.
