Riko has loved Hyuuga and Izuki for her life.

They've been friends since before she can remember, before training and basketball, since before broken dreams and scattered hopes, since before time and thing itself. Riko doesn't remember the time without having them by her side. As far as she cares, they've always been there, helping her, pushing her, challenging her, changing her.

Hyuuga always plays game and Izuki always makes puns and Riko always harps at them both, for his laziness, his terrible sense of humour, and in turns they calls her (whispers) bossy and scary. Hyuuga tells both of them to shut up and Izuki just smiles.

And Riko loves them, loves when they come together, when they need it the most. There is nothing that can it.

So, when Hyuuga gives up, she sits alone in the sport gym that her father owns, stricken and cold, feeling being left alone for the first time in her life. (She can do nothing, and Izuki understands the pain so well.) There's no Hyuuga to call her bossy, no Izuki to make her laugh. Worst of all, there is no Hyuuga to tell her to enjoy the life, no Izuki to tell that he likes being with her.

And when they declares their dreams at the rooftop, she feels like crying.

Ah, she'll be dead before she lets either of them leave without her.
