Kaori watched the TV with horror, that was Kōusei Arima, the famed pianist, the one that she had fallen in love with and the one who inspired her to take the violin.

Kaori began to tear up and strolled away without Dil noticing (as he was watching television)

The next day

Kaori had made it her mission to hide her emotions in terms of what happened to Kōusei, she had been weeping all night and as she went downstairs, she looked rough, her hair was a mess, her eyes bloodshot red and overall a lack of emotion on her face, she also had skipped breakfast and headed to straight to school to avoid the pickles family noticing that she had been crying.

Later on in the day

Dil had been in lessons all day and noticed Kaori had not been in many of them, he was getting worried, she hadn't been this miserable since the whole violin fiasco, Dil knew the reason from Kaoris reaction to the news article about the condition of that Japanese pianist

"DIL PICKLES TO MR PANGBORNS OFFICE" yelled the speaker in the classroom

Dil got up from his chair and headed straight to Pangborns office, Mr Pangborn had moved up and was now their senior Principal at their high school and his look hadn't changed, he was still as jacked as ever and still bald, it was like he hadn't changed from when Dil was 10.

"What did you bring me in for Mr Pangborn" said Dil

"Well your not actually in trouble surprisingly, however I can't seem to talk to her (points at Kaori)" said Mr Pangborn

"Kaori" said Dil as he looks at Kaori who has her head down

"Your her stepbrother, can you help her out" said Mr Pangborn

"Did she say anything to you" whispered Dil

"She said that she saw article regarding a boy she loved in the past possibly dying" whispered Mr Pangborn

Dil then went up to towards Kaori and hugged her

Kaori smiled a little more and then cried on Dils shoulder

"What shall I do" said Dil

"Take her with you to your lesson, I believe you two are in all but one lesson" said Pangborn

"Ok, I'll do it, come on Kaori, let's go to lesson and we will talk about this matter over Caneles" said Dil as he drove Kaoris wheelchair with Kaori crying Kaori and Dil went to lesson as expected, Dil could tell Kaori wasn't feeling it as she wasn't concentrating and her head was facing down a lot

After all of the lessons, Dil wheeled Kaori out and headed towards the Java Lava

Inside the Java Lava

Chaz Finister along with Betty Deville had been serving the customers at the Java Lava all day, many discussions were talked about ranging from the plights of the local baseball team to Kaori and Dils Show, the show itself becoming a popular attraction in the Tri state Area.

Suddenly as Betty and Chaz had just saw their last customer leave, Dil burst in with a visually upset Kaori and wheeled Kaori to a table and went up to the till

"Hey Dil, Hello Kaori... what's up with Kaori" said Betty looking concerned

"She basically saw a news article showing a person she loved having a heart attack" said Dil looking a bit down

"Wait isnt that the musican Kōusei Arima" said Chaz who had a little bit of knowledge of classical music

"Indeed, she appeantly had a close bond with him before coming over to the States" said Dil

"I was the musican that helped Kōusei get back in the musical scene after his mother's death" said Kaori as she spoke up

"No way, were you the violinist who Kōusei dedicated his big February performance too" said Chaz

"Yes he performed it while I was in surgery for my previous illness in which I barely survived, however as my parents had no money and were bankrupted by the surgery, they couldn't look after me anymore, so they faked my death in order for them to claim insurance and to make sure no one would follow me to the United States which meant that I would likely never see Kōusei again, it along with losing my musical ability upset me yes, but Dil helped me move on, he gave me purpose when things didn't look good, he helped me when no one else would, a light when things were dark, however the news concerning Kōusei returned all of those emotions and therefore made me Kaori Miyazono feel a little lost and helpless as I can't really help him as I can't return to Japan for insurance reasons, I'm sorry everyone for overreacting, but that's I feel currently" yelled Kaori as she went to the toilet afterwards

Dil looked a little shocked at what he just heard Kaori say, Chaz felt a little guilty for making Kaori overreact and Betty just stood there in silence
