It's been a month since Kaito disappeared. I lay on my bed very tired. The phone in my living room rang. Slowly, I got up from bed and went to pick up the phone.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Gakupo? Hey, it's Yumma." Yumma, another vocaloid, replied. He was a pretty new vocaloid.
"What is it?"
"Ah… I heard that Kaito…" Yumma paused.
"Yeah."
Yumma stayed silent. Yumma would always come over to see Kaito. Kaito was like a big brother to everyone.
"Why?"
"Can I come over?"
"Yeah."
I hung up the phone. Where has Kaito gone? Leaving everyone behind like this… Yumma soon came over. He sat on the couch quietly. I got him a cup of hot chocolate. "Why did you want to come here?"
Yumma put down his cup, "Do you know where Kaito is? Why he left?"
"No." I replied coldly.
"Do you think he could have…"
"Shut up!" I yelled, "Do you think I don't know what could have happened?"
Yumma flinched, "O-of course you would have known… I was just…"
"Is that it?" I interrupted.
Yumma looked away.
"You should know that I'm not in a mood to play."
Yumma's expression turned into an angry one, "I wasn't playing! I know you love Kaito, but you can't just take it on yourself! You're not the only one who wants him to come back!"
"And you think you can help?"
"T-that…" Yumma looked as if he was going to cry.
"Go," I turned away from him, "just go home." I left Yumma standing alone in my living room.

The next day, I got a message. It was Kaito… His voice was shaking as he spoke into his phone. What happened? He said he was in the hospital. I ran into the hospital.
"I-is someone named Kaito here?" I asked the front desk.
"Kaito? Not that we've seen, sorry." They replied sadly.
"Gakupo?" I heard Kaito's voice.
"Kaito!" I ran over to him and hugged him tightly, "Where were you?"
He pushed me away forcefully, "Now's not the time, Gakupo, Yumma is…"

Kaito held Yumma's cold hand. Yumma lay on the hospital bed, unconscious. I couldn't look at him or Kaito. Is this my fault? That pushed Yumma away? I felt that he had something more to say… I guess it is my fault.
"Hey, Yumma? Please wake up." Kaito pleaded.
Yumma stayed silent. He was still breathing, but something happened. Kaito wouldn't tell me no matter how many times I asked him.
"Kaito… Can you please tell me what happened?" I asked again.
Kaito sighed and looked at me, "It's my fault… that I just left…"
"Kaito…"
Kaito began tearing up, "I'm sorry… I'm sorry…"
"Why did you leave? What happened to Yumma."
"I went to get fixed… so that I can see you smile again… I thought it would be only a day, but it lasted so long…" Kaito glanced at Yumma, "He came looking for me… then…" Kaito burst into tears.
I hugged Kaito tightly, "It's not your fault Kaito. It's mine… for letting him off like that."
"Hey, can Vocaloids ever be seen as humans?" Kaito mumbled, still crying into my chest.
I stayed silent. He asked me a question that any Vocaloid should know the answer, "No… I don't think we will…" I petted Kaito's head, "But isn't that good? No one will bother us. You, me, Yumma… everyone else too."
"Can I dream?" Kaito whispered.
"Yeah…"
"Gakupo…"
"Don't leave us again Kaito…"
He nodded his head slightly.
"I love you..."
