Because I am masochist and sadistic to myself. Because I am horrible. Here is final part of the trilogy: Hopeless tears.
I have nothing else to say because I have exhausted everything in the previous pre-chapter note :l

Again, to those who have already read this, good for you, to those who haven't, please enjoy!

18. "if it could be you…" (331)

The student counsel room seemed even more lonely than usual. After all, all of the student counsel members were graduating, leaving only the successors sitting on the spots of the mighty student counsel chair. He felt it was his duty to visit the place again, and when he pushed past the doors, the shadow cast by the sun rays hitting his way was more than just nostalgic for him. He had never thought that the person might have been Agata, but instead, he stepped into the room and stood by Tsubaki's side, looking straight on at the setting sun. Neither of them said anything despite acknowledging each other's presence.

"Fujisaki." It was Tsubaki who had broken the silence, as both were unable to take the silence.

"Hmm?" Yusuke's head didn't budge in his position, as he kept on staring at the orange-coloured sun.

"It's our turn to step down, and let the young take charge." Tsubaki muttered, as he turned away from the scenery. "Just like he said."

"I know."

It hurts, though, he thought. Maybe, he thought, if Agata was here, he'd make everything better with a joke or two. But instead, the glum conversation had left a burning scar within Yusuke's heart, and one that cannot heal for all of eternity.

Tsubaki's words etched into his mind, as he covered his eyes, a trail of hot tears rolled down his cheeks. "Don't say that." Yusuke uttered, the tang of bitterness trailed behind. "I guess I'll be seeing you."

His foot took him away, far, far away. He was ready to leave.

"Don't cry alone!" Tsubaki's voice echoed in his mind, just like how Agata's would linger in his mind, even now.

"I can't," he said, looking back with a forced smile on his face. "It's no use."

After all, he thought, I could only show this face to him. No one else. I promised myself that.

I am a sad, sad creature indeed sdfa
