6.

I left the lake crying, some people were looking at me on the way, probably wondering what was wrong with me.

I didn't want the boys to see me like that, so when I got to the Oya tunnel, there was no one there at that time, I sat down on the asphalt and I let it all out.

What irritated me most was that I made a lot of excuses for myself.  Seki had warned me and I didn't say anything.

When Ryo took me to see the butterflies, he told me that I inspired him, that I made him want to make decisions instead of waiting for someone else to decide for him.

It seems like so long ago.

It seems like it wasn't me.

Because the Ryo I spoke to today didn't seem like the Ryo who declared himself to me while butterflies surrounded us.

"Ah...I've seen this scene before..."The voice makes me raise my head and take my hands away from my face.

Fujio was standing in front of me with his hands in his pants pocket.  The tiredness was visible in his expression.

I wiped away my tears as much as I could."You were accompanied last time..."

Fujio sat next to me. "I think you already know everything then..."

"Yes..."I sobbed.

"I also had to leave to... reorganize my thoughts." He said. "Wow, it didn't even sound like me talking just now, did it?! It sounded so profound."

I laughed, weakly, for the first time in hours, but it didn't last long.

"Thank you, for making me laugh..." I said drying the tears.

"You're welcome!" Fujio smiled, he stood up and reached out his hand to me. "I know it's hard little sister, but being with the others now will help us."

I looked at Fujio's outstretched hand and thought about the promise I made, no more lies.

Ryo was faithful to Amagai, I have to be faithful to my friends.

"Fujio...I need to tell something, not just to you. To everyone."

Fujio went ahead and I followed, when we arrived at the pool area, it was already dark,  but everyone was still there.

"Fujio, where have you been?" Nakaoka, asks as soon as we enter.

"Sorry, guys." Fujio says.

We then realize that Todoroki has arrived too, he sits on the sofa, tired, without his usual uniform, he is also injured, probably just coming out of a fight.

"Did you go to the three school alliance?" Jamuo asks, as he, Motoaki, Fujio, Yasushi and I gather in front of Todoroki.

"Ebara is out. They won't come back."
