    Summary

    "I wish I could have done more," he said, "for both you and Takemitchy. I wanted to protect you but I failed." He sighed, "I'm sorry."

    What?

    No...

     
    No.

     

    "What are you apologizing for?"

    "For everything. For not being strong enough to save you, or protect you. For dragging you along and getting involved in all of this."

    "And...for not being Akane."

    ---
    Or: Inui and Kokos friendship and their feelings and thoughts about Takemichi and Mikey, and the future. Grief and loss hang heavy, but beneath the surface lies closure and freedom, and who knows...maybe even love.
