The trauma from that time is still seared into him. A few months later, he lived with relatives in Tokyo and attended high school, but he was loathed simply for being a refugee from the earthquake. He was given derogatory nicknames. No one looked at him as "Hikaru Saeki." Around the summer of that same year, he stopped going to school, became a street urchin, and learned about alcohol, cigarettes, overdosing, and self-harm. Later developed manic depression and was sent to a psychiatric hospital. Then around 2012, he met Kai Miyajima. He originally liked women and his romantic interest was women, but as he talked with him and spent time with him, he began to fall for him. He told Kai many things—knowledge he gained while skipping school and boastful stories. Kai listened with eyes sparkling like he was hearing a fairy tale. Then he started talking about his past. He taught Kai about alcohol and such. Kai never refused. He was always smiling. He would say things like, "If it's what Hikaru says." He is becoming unable to leave him. And the fact that he himself cannot leave him began to erode his heart slowly like a pathogen. He made a promise to live with him after being released and to commit double suicide together. Kai couldn't get out easily, so Hikaru ended up leaving first. Hikaru rented a house alone and lives there now. Am I going to kill Kai for my own ego? Am I making Kai dependent on me? Isn't the one who's really dependent me? What do I even understand about Kai? What can I even do for him? A coward like me. I'm the only one who can understand Kai. Liar, you don't understand anything. He continues to kill himself with such thoughts. An obsession that he must not kill him, that he must protect him. Hikaru endures by killing his own soul. Lately, he has begun to give up on everything.
