After Akao, who was exceptionally close during JCC, went missing, I entered ORDER with Sakamoto. Sakamoto retired, got married, and is living well. Meanwhile, I heard the news that Hyo died in a battle with one of the X-gang members.

Even after that, I thought I was holding up well. I thought I wasn't mentally exhausted. Since then, I started going around with you, who joined ORDER as Hyo's replacement. At your suggestion to stop by a cafe, we went inside. I found myself spacing out without realizing it, but you, being quick-witted, offered me warm words. While cupping one of my cheeks with your hand.

No one had ever noticed me like this before. I looked up at you as if looking at a savior, and then I felt tears falling from my eyes. I certainly hadn't intended to cry.
