AAAA OMAIGADDD SORRY I TOTALLY FORGOT TO UPLOAD I WAS SO BUSY. Lol.

Few days passed after Miku's funeral in the town where her parents were. Len tried his best to move on and not mope around all day. He didn't want the others to be worried about him, but his heart still ached. He would go someplace where no one was there and cried silently. He never had the chance to say to Miku how much he loved her too. Little did he knew that Miku already saw through him in everything he did for her.

Christmas was just around the corner. Fukase brought a newly chopped fir tree from their garden inside the house. Len and Fukase were decorating the tree with ornaments in silence.

"Kagamine."

"Hm?"

"I..."

"For the last time, Fu. I'm fine. Stop worrying. Now you're making me worry because of you guys worrying for me everytime," Len threw his hands.

Fukase just gave Len a look.

"Okay, I'm sorry. I know you, jii-san and baa-san are worried. But I'm fine. I can't sit around and mope everyday. This is something I have to deal with myself. I know you guys are always there for me. I thank you for that."

"I'm proud of you, Kagamine. You deserve my respect. I never met anyone as strong as you."

It was getting a little embarrassing for Len, so he decided to divert his eyes and change the topic. "Whatever. Let's just finish this." It was true. Len was fine, but a part of him had changed. It will be hard for him to open up his heart to someone else in the meantime ― who knows until when.

"Oh yeah, Kagamine. Just to remind you cause I know you forgot. Don't forget to get presents for jii-san and baa-san."

Fukase was right. Len did forgot. Looks like he haven't moved on after all like he thought he'd be. Fukase left Len wondering by himself alone. Len sighed. He couldn't go on like this. He had to get this over with one way or another. Fiddling absent-mindedly with the ornaments, he came up with an idea. He never liked counseling, not to mention mind therapy, but it looks like he had no other choice. He went over to where his grandparents were.

"Jii-san, baa-san. I'm gonna go buy some stuff for a while. I'll be right back."

"Sure, dear." Len's obaa-san replied.

He didn't want his grandparents to know that he decided to go for counseling. He was going shopping for his grandparents' gifts, and going to the nearest clinic to make an appointment too.

Len took his queue number and sat awkwardly in the almost empty clinic. Figures. It was almost christmas anyway. Thankfully he was just number 3. Closing his eyes, it wasn't after a few moments that his number was called.

"Kagamine-san? Consulting for a therapy is it? Right this way."

The receptionist showed Len to a room at the farthest corner. The receptionist knocked on the door and said a few words to the doctor before asking Len to come in.

"Please, sit down."

The doctor had a kind air around her. She was probably around the same age as his mother. Her soft features reminded Len of his mother he started to miss her.

"Okay, Kagamine-san. If you don't mind, I need to ask a few questions in order to understand your situation and how to help you get through it before making appointments. Are we okay?"

"Yeah, I guess..."

"Okay, you can start whenever you're ready."

After taking a few nervous breaths, Len finally told everything starting from the day he talked with Miku till she exhaled her last breath. He couldn't hold back his tears. He still felt guilty for not being able to do anything to save her. The doctor stood up and hugged Len, patting his back and sushing him. It wasn't as awkward as Len felt. It was as though he was talking to his own mother. The doctor went back to her seat after Len calmed a little.

"Hearing you story reminds me of my husband. He died too ー because of lung cancer. It happened so long ago. Long before I was a therapist."

The doctor went silent, as if holding back tears. Len's head went up hearing that her husband died of cancer too.

"None of that matters now. What matters is for me to help you get through your loss."

Len went silent as the doctor gave him a smile so sincere it left him at a loss for words. He started to wonder what he was doing here.

"Okay, so we need to decided on a weekly schedule―" she was interrupted by a knock on her door. "Come in." The doctor gave a wait-a-minute gesture to Len.

The receptionist came in. "Doctor, miss Mitsuru is here."

"Oh, tell her to come in."

The recptionist nodded and went back outside. Must be her daughter, Len thought.

"Oh, yes. Kagamine-san, would every Sunday be okay?"

"That'll be fine. Thank you so much, doctor."

Len stood up and shook hands with the doctor before heading to the door when it opened suddenly and gave him a shock.

"O―oh! I―I'm s―sorry..." A timid voice spoke.

"Oh, it's fin―"

Len almost fell on his knees when he looked at the girl who was about to enter. Chills ran down his spine. Cold sweat drenched his forehead before he knew it. Words wouldn't come out of his mouth. He stared at the girl, wide-eyed; the girl who looked like a carbon copy of Miku. His stare made the girl turn her head down and gazed sideways. Len walked slowly outside, leaning against the wall for comfort.

"Mitsu, mom told you to always knock on the door before going in." Len heard them speak as the girl came in.

"I―I'm s―sorry, m―mother..."

Len couldn't hear the rest. His vision distorted, he became nauseated and hurried for the bathroom. He splashed his face with water, trying to get a grip on his self.

"No― it's just― how―"

His brain wasn't able to process everything he saw. The gear's stopped clicking and everything went dark.

Everything just wasn't right. Everywhere Len looked, all he could find was emptiness until the darkness consumed before he woke up with a jolt.

"Ugh," Len held his throbbing head.

"Thank God you're awake, Kagamine!"

Fukase was next to Len on his bed, sitting on a chair, worry plastered all over his face.

"What... What happened?"

Len looked around. It was dark outside. The wall clock said it was around 23 28.

"What happened? What were you doing at the clinic? They found you unconcious in the bathroom after meeting a therapist!"

"Therap―" it all came over to him. It wasn't a mistake. Len knew what he saw. He was still sane to mistake anyone for someone else, especially Miku.

"I saw her, Fu," Len spoke without facing Fukase.

"Saw who? Kagamine, what is going on?"

Len turned to Fukase and looked at him straight in the eye. "I saw Miku."

"Buh― what? I mean, that can't― she's―"

"I know, that's why I couldn't believe it too. But I know what I saw, Fu. And I'm not that crazy to hallucinate and mistake her for someone else."

"Wait－ you need to explain to me from the beginning."

Len told Fukase starting from when he went to the clinic until when he fainted in the bathroom.

"Mitsuru, huh..."

"Y―you believe me?"

"Kagamine, either you're too stupid to lie to me or I'm too stupid to believe in your lie. We're not neither. I believe you more than anyone else."

Len felt relieved he heaved a sigh. He was grateful, Fukase was someone he could always depend on. He smiled to Fukase. "Thank you."

"What thank you? You know I'll always be there for you no matter what. Now come on, let's figure this out tomorrow after a new day. You need to rest. I know you can't sleep, but at least try to doze yourself off."

"I'll try..."

"Good night."

Len grabbed his earphones to listen to his sleep playlist on his phone. The music made him close his eyes and sleep in just a few minutes.
