~Kazumi POV~

I stared at a number. 'Should I call?' I thought. This surgery could save me or push me over the edge. I sighed rubbing my head. I was interrupted by a knock at the door.

It's probably Aki or Mana... I thought as I went to open the door.

It wasn't them. 'Kenshi?' I asked myself.

"Hey Akiyama. Why are you hiding from us? I'm sorry we didn't save you. I'm sorry you had to endure that pain." He scratched his head nervously.

Tears rushed to my eyes and I smiled softly. He looked at me shocked as I began to cry. "S-shit don't cry!" He panicked pulling me into a clumsy yet warm hug. I smiled into his jacket.

'Such a clumsy oaf. Still he's warm and nice.' I thought.

We stood there. Kenshi freaking out over me crying and me silently smiling with tears falling down my face.

These guys made me feel safe.

I don't know why.

I don't know how.

They just do.

And I can't keep ignoring them forever. Even if I'm scared.

And maybe...i can put back my life piece by piece.
