*REVISED* (I only removed Naoi, but it's still the same)

"We're through."

Those were the first words that came out of Otonashi's mouth the moment his girlfriend sat in front of him in a Café. He said it firm, without any hesitation. His emotions were clear; he was dismayed, angry, and guilty. His girlfriend on the other hand, sat in shock. Not a word was spoken between the two for a full minute. Otonashi, having a stoic look on his face, stood up and left the girl wordlessly.

"H-Hey wait!" his girlfriend yelled as she chased Otonashi on the street

"What is this all about?! What do you mean we're through?!" the girl added as she grabbed Otonashi on the wrist

"I said we're through. That's all that there is to it." Otonashi replied without turning around

"A-Are you even joking?! What the fuck is going on Otonashi-kun?! the girl questioned him as slowly tears fall from her eyes due to confusion

Otonashi turned around, still having the same look on his face. It was emotionless, and he's not even aware that his girlfriend is on the verge of breaking down in tears. He tilted his head and stared at the girl, and told her

"I don't love you anymore."

Upon saying it, he left the girl and vanished in the crowd. His girlfriend was still clueless, trying to understand what just happened. She tried to find him in the vast people walking on the street but he was gone. As she kept walking, even more tears kept dripping from her eyes.

"N-No..." she murmured as she kept aimlessly walking, trying to find Otonashi

Unbeknownst to her, her makeup is now ruined as the tears won't stop. Her heart is beating faster every step she takes. In her mind, the words "I don't love you anymore" kept repeating. Ultimately, she sat on a bench nearby; and there, she cried her heart out...

"WHY?!"

xXx

Otonashi, too, was aimlessly walking. He still had that emotionless look on his face the moment he apparently broke up with his girlfriend. He showed no signs of pity towards the girl, nor did he regretted even breaking up with her. He was downright coldblooded.

All he could think of is his friends; Hinata, Yuri, and especially Kanade.

"How am I going to explain all of this to them..." Otonashi whispered to himself

Probably the biggest sin he had committed (besides joining a rebellion against God) is being blind; not in a sense that he is literally blind, but emotionally blind. When he passed on in the afterlife, all he could ever think of is being reunited with everyone. Of course, once you pass on to a new life, it's given that your memories will be altered, but Otonashi was desperate.

The moment he first bumped into Kanade, he felt something special about her. He felt a surge within his body, as if it's signifying that this person might be familiar. Alas, even the visions weren't enough to make him open his eyes. It was an odd case for him, every time he sees these visions, the faces of the people in them are blurry. Their voices could be heard, but their faces are unclear.

If Yuri, Kanade, and Hinata were able to immediately regain their memories, then why didn't Otonashi remembered his immediately? As he acknowledged it, he's blind, emotionally blind. Of course, none of this would've happened if only he opened his eyes the very moment he first met Kanade...

xXx

"Hey, Yuri." Hinata poked at the girl in front of him

"What is it?" Yuri asked Hinata who had a confused look on his face

"Do you think...Otonashi's alright?" he said, making Yuri think about his words

"Now that you've mentioned it, I...I don't know." Yuri answered

"I'm worried about not only for him, but for them. Do you think they'll still love each other after everything that has happened?" Hinata gave his sentiments

"I hope so." Yuri was unsure of her answer

The pair had been visiting Kanade for the past couple of days. Unfortunately, the silver-haired girl is still unconscious; though the doctors said her condition is getting better.

Both of them were even able to talk to Kanade's family, saying that all three of them had been friends for a 'long time'. Kanade's family were distraught, most especially her little sister. Her family wished to know the cause why Kanade underwent through this torment; though Yuri and Hinata know the cause, they kept it to themselves as Kanade's family may find it difficult to understand.

After 2 days...

"You've been pretty dull, lil bro." Hajime said to Otonashi whom was eating his breakfast lifelessly.

"Is something the matter?" he added

"I broke up with my girlfriend." Otonashi quickly replied as he took a sip from his mug filled with warm, sweet coffee

"You what?!" Hajime nearly spitted out the food in his mouth

"But..." Otonashi said, as he placed the mug on the table

"That's not the problem, Onii-san." Otonashi finished his statement, and so does his meal

"Eh?" Hajime was left in a cliffhanger

xXx

"Have you heard, Otonashi broke up with his model girlfriend?"

"Yeah! Man, Otonashi must be an idiot to split with her!"

"Guys, this might be my chance with her!"

"I guess fate will bring me and Otonashi-kun closer fufu~"

"But why did they broke up?"

Why?

Why?

Why?

Gossips here and there, Otonashi was clearly the talk of the town. Students were constantly gossiping about him and his girlfriend, as the news broke out that they split. Some think that it was good for Otonashi since they were very different, to others Otonashi was a fool, splitting up with a model student was bad, and the rest were just preying on the girl and him.

"Leave." Otonashi gushed off a girl from his class whom was trying to flirt with her

It was bound to happen that either of them would be seduced after their breakup. Otonashi was clearly annoyed and he doesn't want the attention. He just wanted to be with Kanade; yet, somethings stopping him from going to her.

No matter how hard the other girls try, they were just being snubbed by orange-haired boy. Some boys were envious of him and tried to gang up on him, but all Otonashi did was he just had a pale lifeless look on his face which creeped out the boys, preventing them from harming him.

As the day went by, the former couple were still hot topic. For Otonashi however, it was rather a normal day. He was able to do his routines in school, participate in class, and even train in Kyudo. It was late in the afternoon that he decided to call it a day. He was still the same though, dull, lifeless, and the guilt is still resonating in his heart.

"I guess, we're not really fit for each other."


A/N

Yo! After almost 2 months of excruciating treatment and shit, it's safe to say I'm (sorta) back! Updates wouldn't take forever just like what happened recently. Sorry for being gone for a very long time! I decided to focus on this story so I revised this one, since having Naoi would mean this whole story would spiral into romance/drama/mystery, and I ain't good at writing mystery. So anyways, I'm glad to be able to write again! Sadly, all my other stories will be on hiatus until I finish this one.
