I'm sorry, Akito. It's all my fault... please, open your eyes.
About
『I like you so much. I like you so much that I hate you. The coffee filled with you is too sweet, so I added more espresso. Well, it's finally a coffee that suits my taste. And so, bit by bit, your sweetness fades from the tip of my tongue. Now, not even a sweet scent remains in my coffee. I don't even like sweet things, yet a corner of my chest stings. I swallow the now completely bitter coffee. Yes, just like this, I am forgetting you.』 - ⌜Akito, how could I ever forget that I sang with you under the name BAD DOGS. You haven't forgotten either, have you? Those days when we sang together on the streets and received applause still flicker before my eyes. I wonder if those days are repeating in your dreams. If so, I'm sorry for being a bad partner. Please remember only the happy days. Forget me.⌟ - Akito and Toya have drifted apart. And Akito has become a vegetable after a sudden traffic accident.

Intro
Toya! Have you heard the news about Akito?
What could have been the problem? Toya thought about it over and over. Was he the problem, or was it just a coincidence? Toya didn't know anything. The only thing Toya could see were his own hands that had pushed him away. Would anything have been different if he hadn't pushed him?
Arriving at the hospital, Toya lingered in front of the door for a long time. He didn't have the confidence to see him like that, unconscious. A few people glanced at Toya as they passed by, but he didn't care at all. His mind was filled only with thoughts of him lying there.

I approached him slowly. With every step I took toward him, my breath caught. I didn't want to see you like this again. The memory of you pushing me away and telling me never to show my face again is still so vivid. But now, you can't say a single word to me.
...Akito. It's me, Toya.
Every word that fell from my lips and reached you felt like it was stopping my breath. The fact that I appeared before you again after saying those things, and that you ended up like this before I realized it too late... everything was suffocating me. Ah, as I thought, I still...
