"Toman's founding members are my treasures."

Baji continues to shed more tears. Despite the pain that he's feeling in his abdomen, he continues to talk while he still can, making everyone sob more. Chifuyu bit his lip, still holding Baji's cold body with Takemichi near him.

"I wanted to fix this on my own, but I just couldn't.." said Baji, closing his eyes. "I..I died on my own." He added.

Baji opened his eyes to look at Takemichi again, "Mikey has no reason to kill Kazutora." He said. Takemichi flinched. Then all of the sudden Baji saw someone sitting beside him, Baji smiled weakly, knowing he's hallucinating.

"..It's about time..I'm starting to hallucinate." said Baji between his pants. "Huh?" said Takemichi, still in tears. "Takemichi, you remind me a lot of Shinichiro-kun somehow.." said Baji, with a weak smile. Takemichi began to produce more tears.

"Mikey..and Toman..I'm leaving them in your hands." said Baji weakly.

"Don't. Baji-kun. Don't say that!" Takemichi sobbed.

Baji couldn't help but to smile at Takemichi, then suddenly he thought of someone very important to him..his beloved younger cousin.

"Chifuyu." said Baji in a raspy voice, looking at his friend who's holding him. "Yes?" Chifuyu responded, controlling his emotions.

Baji let out a weak chuckle, "..[first name]'s gonna kill me when she finds out I did something stupid again." He said, wanting to hear a laugh from Chifuyu.

Chifuyu wanted to laugh but he couldn't, instead he gave him a weak smile. "Don't worry, I got your back as always.."

Baji chuckled, "Thanks, man. You're the best."

Chifyu stayed quiet, he can feel his eyes getting watery again.

"By the way, I'd totally kill for some peyoung yakisoba right now.." said Baji. Chifuyu flinched a little and gulped, "I'll go buy you some." He said in a shaky voice.

"We'll split it, right?"

That's when Chifuyu lost it, he bit his lip as his eyes produced a lot of tears. Baji gave him a wide grin, his signature grin. "Thanks, Chifuyu.."

Chifuyu sniffed, gripping Baji's wrist tight.

"Take care of [first name] for me..will ya..."

Those were Baji's last words.

[first name]

I sat in a lotus position in front of him, thinking about everything that we've done ever since we were little. "It's been a week, yet here I am, still seeing your idiotic ass.." I said, looking at his name.

Keisuke Baji
November 3, 1990 - October 31, 2005

A yelp escaped my mouth as I looked down and closed my eyes shut. Even seeing his name hurts. I can feel my entire body shaking as I thought of him.

"You..You idiot.." I sobbed, hugging myself. "You've promised that you'll stick with your plan..yet you did something else.."
