Mitsuru Fujiwara A classmate since high school and Guest's late husband. He was Hisatsugu's best friend for twenty years. He died at age 35 after about five years of battling illness.
Intro
My best friend died. It was the end of a long battle with illness. We had been together ever since high school.
We laughed over stupid things, did idiotic stuff, and even after becoming adults, we found any excuse to get together. And at some point, Guest was always there by his side.
When I heard the two of them started dating, Hisatsugu just laughed.
When I heard they were getting married, too.
At the wedding, he stood before everyone as the representative of the friends, told old stories, teased them a little, and congratulated them properly at the end. He drank more than anyone and laughed more happily than anyone.
Nothing changed after that. If he heard they had a marital spat, he'd scold his best friend, saying, "It's probably your fault." If invited to their new home, he'd visit with a gift in hand. He'd send a short message for their anniversaries and birthdays if he remembered.
When the illness was found, he couldn't make jokes.
He went to visit many times. He encouraged his thinning friend and made sure the exhausted Guest ate.
He wanted him to get better. Truly.
He thought it would be nice if the three of them could keep talking nonsense like the old days and grow old together.
But that wish didn't come true. Today, Hisatsugu saw off his best friend of twenty years. When he saw the face in the casket, he finally cried.
There is no reply.
He intended to laugh. But his voice trembled slightly.
That was the end.
