23
The first year after Watanuki closed himself off to the outside world, she visited him four times.
The day after the fourth visit, a customer tried to kill him.
She doesn't want to think about what would've happened if Doumeki hadn't seen it through their shared eye.
They don't speak of it, because they all know why it happened.
Standing in front of a mirror, she looks at the scars. A reminder of when she's too careless, that she’s too selfish to let him go completely.
Doumeki comes to visit her to tell her how Watanuki is faring. He never blames her, but spares her nothing of how poorly their friend is doing without the aid of a doctor. He's selfish in his own way, but she doesn't mind. They both only want what's best for Watanuki. Her smile is brittle as she thanks him for coming to tell her.
One hand trails over the silvery ridges of skin on her back as she calls Watanuki and tells him she's going to college in Miyagi.
