"Two years ago. There was a girl."

"A girl."

"She was a year older than me."

"She dumped you?"

"Worse."

A long drag.

"She was cheating on two guys other than me."

"Two? "


He laughs.


"It's funny now, thinking about it.

It was so blindingly obvious."


He shakes his head.


"I was just an idiot."


"So that's why you're doing this?"


Nothing.


"For revenge? Just because a girl cheated on you?"


"She was always teasing me,

this smile that could make you go crazy."

I loved her, Keichi.

"You think I like doing this?

Playing around, being despised?"

He flicks his cigarette stub onto

the floor.

"I wanted to know why she did it.

What it feels like to play with someone's heart."

He leans against the railing, elbows propped.

"I never found out."


But.


"Takeshi."


"I know. I get it. I'll stop.

I'm sick and tired of this

shit anways.


Before he leaves-

he turns.


"I'll apologize to Sugawa tomorrow."

He throws his hand in the air,

a sloppy wave.
