Suddenly Haruka's karate hand hit right in my head. I also fell to the floor with a loud noise created, until the pain spread all over my bones.

Haruka's hands held my head on both sides, so I couldn't move it anymore.

"... Why do you still insist on not joining?" Ask her coldly.

"Is it because of Kanzaki Shiori-san? Right so?" He continued while bowed.

"Did? Why is his mind so far away from what I think?" I thought for a moment.

Even though his words were wrong according to my brain, I somehow nodded my head in agreement with what he said.

"Looks like I'm going to interfere with their business, I'd better go home quietly!" Satoshi's mind grabbed the bag and opened the roof door slowly, then went home.

"May you be healthy always Arata, forgive your stupid friend this can't help..." Satoshi said softly as he ran away from the school building.

Haruka looked disappointed and bit down her lips. "Why?... Why is everything Ta-chan did for Kanzaki-san? You don't have to force yourself for that person, do you?"

"I-yes, but right..."

"But what? You know lately you often force yourself to practice the guitar without stopping, your game is getting better and better. I was amazed by your ambition as you are now!"

Haruka snapped at me with a face that was flushed red, whereas I could only be silently puzzled to answer her.

"... All that I did was to reclaim my personal space and not for Kanzaki-san's sake" the answer might seem like a far-fetched one, to be honest I didn't know Haruka's guess was right or wrong.

For a moment I thought of a more plausible reason in my almost exploding brain. Haruka let go of her hand and helped lift the lying body with a helping hand.

"Forget that one. By the way, how do you know each other?"

Haruka sat down to my back while hugging her legs and leaning on my back.

"Ah-hah, that's what I told you. Maybe in my dreams, right." answered me origin. (See at eps. 8)

"Still that ridiculous excuse, do you want me to send it to the afterlife now?!" Haruka showed me that deadly fist.

I'm shaking. "Why should we talk about this?" The question I wanted to avoid from a long time ago, finally happened as well.

"I told you about the beginning of my meeting and knowing Keiko-senpai, as well as the secrets I hid. To be fair, Ta-chan also told me" she explained.

"One evening before night, the twilight sky glowed and the murmur of the sea waves rang out, a train was speeding towards the last station carrying a passenger. None other than me, who was about to head to a unique shop on the beach.

Around the store, there were many hills and mountains. But it was as dark gray as the end of the world. The number can no longer be counted, until it piles up like a hill itself. That's where I met Kanzaki-san, who was playing her worn violin with Sonata's song.

Due to being too focused, I was mired from the wreckage that I was on and caught by Kanzaki-san. He was angry with me but he also asked for help about the road to the station and the trouble with the police. Finished"

"Ohh, that place you're visiting seems interesting. Take me there sometime, play on the beach"

"Don't. The place is not interesting at all, it is dangerous to know! Anyway, can't.."

That place is not interesting. The pile of wreckage was like the victims of war who were left to rot for many years— among the many victims, lying a worn violin in the middle. All was quiet and there was no sign of life, Kanzaki-san was probably the only person who could still live in the place.

From the way he played the Sonata song and suddenly told me to forget it, then behind the composition he played must lead to a secret that was hidden and in the record for many years. Could it have something to do with the incident that disappeared 2 years ago?

Every time I think of it as if there is an untouchable yet so close feeling. And it struck me that I was one of the people who understood the real Kanzaki-san. Like I knew him somewhere...

"That's it, that means.."

Haruka's voice suddenly sounded and broke my daydream. Without me knowing now Haruka was right in front of me and looking at me.

"Ta-chan cares about Kanzaki-san right?"

"Heh... Heh...? Em, what are you saying... I don't understand" I replied with red cheeks and hesitated.

Haruka smiled at the smile that looked contrived while patting my shoulder. After that, he stood up. "Don't pretend you don't know, that's the obvious"

Tests...

My eyes immediately widened in shock at the sight of Haruka's tears falling slowly. "Ha... Haruka's! You why? Is it sick?" I panic.

"Did? I'm doing fine. Why are you panicking?" Haruka asked with a confused face.

"You're-you're finished... Those tears.... You crying?"

"Tears?" Haruka's fingers began to palpate her cheeks and quickly her hands began to wipe. "Ahh, this must be due to dust. Sorry to worry you Ta-chan, but I'm fine!" He smiled forcefully.

"Then I go home first. Just call me if Ta-chan needs a workout buddy or wants to confide in, okay... Bye"

Haruka hurriedly walked into the building without looking at me. Satoshi and I now live on a large rooftop accompanied by Kanzaki-san songs filled with loneliness. But, wait...

"Loh, Satoshi doesn't exist? Where's she? Don't you go home first without telling me? You coward Satoshi!!!" My raging words.

Instantly my emotions disappeared as I remembered that night, when Kanzaki-san took me to the roof and talked to me about some things together.

"Give up, I'll just practice!"

//In the meantime Haruka//

"sick... It hurts even more when I see or hear Ta-chan with Kanzaki-san.."

Haruka, now walking emotionally along the road to the bus stop, suddenly stopped in her tracks.

His eyes that kept falling tears stopped for a moment, he looked up at the dark sky above him while squeezing his vest.

" What am I... With Kanzaki-san?"
