Suguru was taken into the room next. He was asked questions about Hiro and if he knew anything. Suguru proved to be somewhat of help by answering honestly that as far as he was concerned, Hiro was innocent. He was asked questions about the rape as well, but he had said that he wasn't pressing any charges against Ryuichi, sending him home and off the hook.

Suguru sighed after that long inquisition. "Hiro would be angry if he knew I let Ryuichi walk away."

Tohma wouldn't have wanted Ryuichi to suffer like that and so he had no choice. Next, the rest of his friends met him. Everyone but Hiro, which lowered whatever spirits he had left inside him. It was no surprise that he was already thrown away to spend life in some stale, low class jail cell.

A tear trickled down his cheek just as Shuichi had bounced in and ran over to Suguru, hugging him.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"Fine."

Just then, K, Sakano, Noriko, Mika, and even Ryuichi came inside the room. Ryuichi lost all eye contact with everyone and hugged his Kumagoro tightly to him. Suguru didn't look towards him either. It wasn't of hate, it was more of betrayal.

"This is horrible, just horrible!" Sakano cried, running in circles. "We're finished! Bad Luck and Grasper are finished! Everything gone, just like that! I can't believe it!"

Since K had to have his magnum taken away, he just merely edged his foot forward and had Sakano trip on that, shutting him up.

"I can't believe Hiroshi...would kill Tohma," Mika sobbed, dabbing the corner of her eye with one of Tohma's white handkerchiefs.

"What is wrong with all of you?" Shuichi growled, looking at each individual. "Hiro would never do such a thing!"

"You're just saying that because you're his friend," Mika spat. "You didn't like Tohma either, you probably had something to do with it too!"

Shuichi stood on his tiptoes to meet her gaze. "You think so? You think so?! You're wrong! Grasper was my idol since I was a kid, the reason I started singing! Even if we sometimes never got along, that doesn't mean I would murder him!"

K grabbed him by the back of the shirt and pulled him away. "Please Shuichi, no more outbursts. Suguru, what do you think of all this?"

Like expected Suguru looked away and said nothing.

"Please say something," Shuichi whispered. "If you don't, Hiro's going to be going in for nothing. I don't know what he was doing that night...I wasn't around and he wasn't with me...anything's plausible, but I know for a fact if he says with a straight face that he didn't do it, then he didn't."

Suguru just cried. He cried his heart out. To think he was actually starting to fall in love with Hiro and this has to happen. Was the guitarist putting on a façade to him the entire time? Was he pretending to be nice and living under a dark secret? No one would know unless they caught the accomplice. Hiro would just be another innocent man on death row.

"Suguru?"

"I don't know Shuichi, I don't know, okay?!" he cried, desperate to run free from the room and crash upon something nice and soft to sob the day away into.

"You were with Hiro last night, did he do anything or hurt you in any way?" K asked, stepping forth.

Suguru's mouth hung open. "This is Hiro we're talking about! K-san, you know him just as well as I do! He would never do such a thing to me! He checked me out of the hospital and we went back to his place. He let me sleep there, that's it."

K sighed and sat down beside Suguru. He spoke in a rather unusually soft tone. "You know...it's important that you do tell us the truth."

Suguru looked away hurtfully. "If he's a murderer, he was doing a great job hiding it. I don't believe it. I don't believe any of this shit! Where is he now?"

Suguru looked up at the four pairs of eyes that looked him over.

"I want to see Hiro."

After a long pause, K nodded. "I think we can do it."

Suguru wasted no time in standing and walking to the door. He walked by Ryuichi, who timidly moved away with every step Suguru took towards him.

"It's okay, Ryu-kun," he said. "I'm not angry. I'm happy you loved my cousin the way you did. It wasn't your fault either about his death. They got Tachi, now some other sick bastard is on the loose out there and it's not Hiro. If I have to, I'll get them myself. Go back with Noriko and continue Grasper. I know it won't be the same, but I believe in you."

Ryuichi finally met his gaze. After he saw that Suguru was smiling, he smiled weakly and soon was enveloped in a sudden hug.

"Still friends?" Suguru asked.

Ryuichi sobbed a positive answer, after apologizing a billion times.

"Suguru you better hurry before you can't get to see Hiro."

Suguru nodded and left the room in search for the one he loved.
