When the light dies, only the shadow remains.
I woke up until dawn.
On the lips - a metallic taste.
In hand is silence.
Yuzuki is dead. This is not a dream. Not an illusion. Not a mistake.
This is reality.
And she became colder.
I did not cry.
I did not scream.
I just sat.
Everything was sterile. room. walls. My memory.
The organization won.
Yuzuki - was our last hope.
They did not just kill her.
They crossed her out of the world, as if she was a mistake in the equation.
But for me ... she was the only number that made sense.
I went to where she died.
The stains of blood were already washed off with rain.
But I remembered.
Each step. Each sound.
- Why didn't you run away? I whispered into the void.
There was no answer. Only the wind.
And in this wind ... Something has changed in me.
I destroyed the room where we built a plan.
burned everything.
Deleted files.
Rubbed evidence.
And only I remained.
Kaoru - without yuzuki.
Kaoru - without a goal.
Kaoru - without emotion.
"If they wanted to break me ..." I looked in the mirror. - They achieved the opposite.
Now I'm not afraid.
Not because it became stronger.
But because I have nothing to lose.
I remembered her gaze.
At the last moment.
Not fear. Not despair.
And the request: Live. Not for revenge. For the sake of meaning.
But the meaning disappeared with her.
Now…
I will find them.
Not for justice.
Not for anger.
and to show: even the shadow can burn the world.
