With the graduation date coming soon, the swim club has finally made it to the final round of the relay and you noticed that Haruka couldn't even answer the paper that the school gave to him-The paper asked for his plans in the future and you were worried about it. Haruka's been going home earlier than usual to care for you and the baby … He doesn't seem to have interest in his studies anymore.
That night, you stared at the blank paper, it seems he still did not write anything on it.
"Haru?" You looked at him.
"Hmm?"
"You didn't write anything at this paper? Are you still confused?" You inquired but he kept silent.
"Well… I-I can help you…" You continued.
"Help me?" He asked trying to raise his voice.
"Yes… Why don't we talk about your future."
"Stop." He retorted.
"Don't think about Saba-chan… Just think of what do you want to do in life."
"I can't!" He suddenly raised his voice. You stopped, frightened at his furious expression.

"…"
"What do you mean 'you can't? I-I'm trying to help!" You reached out.
"I can't talk about it because I have to take care of Saba-chan!" He replied while clenching his hand.
"How can you take care of Saba-chan?! You need to take this chance to think of what you want!"
"How can I think of what I want?! All I wanted to do is to be…!"
"Then you can! You don't need to take care of me and Saba-chan, go and pursue your dreams!"
"I told you - I CAN'T!" He screamed.
"You can't?! You can!" Your eyes started to flow with tears.

"THEN STOP ASKING ME WHAT I WANT FOR THE FUTURE!" Haru yelled loudly at you, you were sure that the neighbors can hear your argument.

"I-I'm right here… I'm always here to help! Why can't you just understand that?!" You sobbed as he stopped shouting at you.

You realized all this time… He was still confused. He still needed time to think, he did not fully accepted you and Saba-chan into his life yet. He still wanted to think on his future.

He still had that opportunity to a bright future…

That's why…

"I-I-thought that you would take responsibility but-It's not enough…" You continued from your sobs.
"[N-Name]-"
"I want you to be free instead." And with those words coming from your mouth, you went to bed sobbing. An hour later, he went to bed beside you, his side at the opposite way from yours.

You wanted him to free and you know he wanted that as well. You stood up carrying your belongings and closed the door to his house.

"You always wanted to be free…so please be happy." You looked back at his house as you remembered all those past memories you've spent with him during the past 2 years of your relationship…

…And this time, you decided that it was time to let him go.

(12) Think about your future with him. (End of Checklist)
