Chapter Text
October 1st, XXXX.
Dear Akihiko.
I can't believe it's almost been 3 months since the last time I've heard your voice besides from voicemails and videos. I've been begging my parents to let me come to Japan to visit you for your birthday. Thankfully they reluctantly agreed.
Me and my parents are going to fly to Japan on October 9th we're going to stay till the 14th and we're going to stay at a hotel near the cemetery where you're buried... God that hurt so much more to write then I thought it would be.
I've been thinking about your family recently and I'm wondering how everything is going to play out while I'm there. I wonder if Daiki will be there, if he I promise I won't talk to him and fight with him no matter how much I hate him. I know you love him dearly even if he's awful to you. I still don’t understand how you could see something good in him when all he ever did was take and take until you had nothing left. You deserved better.
You deserved so much more than just being Suisha school's top scorer.
You deserved classmates who cares about your health more than getting good marks on your exams.
You deserved a brother to care more about you then your stupidly smart grades.
You deserved to rest without felling guilt.
And most of all, you deserved a future that wasn’t taken from you before you even got to decide what it looked like.
And I hate that I never said these things while you were still here.
(We're going to act like this part blends into the letter because I have no idea now to add to what's above this)
I'm scared of seeing your name carved into stone. Because it comes real in a way that I will really know that last forever.
And I'm not sure if my ready for that but either way I promise you on everything, I will be there.
I can't pretend that the distance makes this all hurt less.
I just hope, wherever you are, it’s quieter and more peaceful than everything here was for you, because that's what you deserved after that life.
And I just want to say I'm sorry. I don't know if that means anything anymore.
But either way I'm so sorry, Aki.
From yours truly,
Harumi.♥
