“So… why are we gathered here for?” Shige asked as he took a seat alongside the others as the six of them gathered at the cafeteria.

Pi cleared his throat as the others turned his attention towards him.

“I wonder if any of you guys had noticed, Ryo had really become aware of his surroundings?” he started to say as Tegoshi cocked his head at him.

“Pi-chan, didn’t we already know that? Ryo-tan had started to become aware about us. I think all of us had noticed that he did react a bit to us being there with him—“

Pi shook his head. “No, I mean… really, REALLY aware? I’m not sure how to explain it… but I think he’s depressed. That’s why lately… his recovery started to get slow again—“

“What are you trying to say?” Ohkura asked as Pi explained.

“Did you guys remembered about how we used to notice that there was another person that had visited Ryo and leaving that single flower behind for him?”

Jin frowned. “You’re still at it? Hadn’t we used to discuss it last time that it could have been a nurse or some of the hospital staffs doing that? What were you trying to sa—“

“It was not. I know. Because I saw that person last time. I know it must be that person who had left the flower every time and took care of Ryo before we had come to watch over him every day.”

Massu nodded. “O… kay, so what were you saying, Yamapi?”

Pi sighed. His friends could be so dense and clueless sometimes…

“That person… I think, had stopped visiting Ryo. I think also… Ryo had been aware of that person for quite some time. I’ve noticed also, that he seemed a bit depressed about it. About that person not coming to see him again.”

Tegoshi frowned. It troubled him that he had not noticed this before.

“How did you know about this, Pi-chan?” he asked as Pi sighed.

“He cried, yesterday. I had almost missed it but Ryo had been staring at that empty vase for a while. And Ryo was looking at me after that. He seemed to know that I’ve noticed it. I really—Ryo had been looking very sad.”

Everyone went quiet, as the only noise around them had been of the others students in the cafeteria. Shige was quiet as well… but somehow his quietness had been unnatural. Everyone turned towards him without thinking as Shige looked up towards Yamapi.

“Did you still remember the face of that person?” he asked as Pi shook his head.

“He had been so far that time. I could barely get a closer look. Why? Do you have any idea of who that person was?”

Shige shrugged. “I’m not sure. Hearing what you’ve said you saw, I had the craziest idea—But it can’t be. If it had been that person, I can’t understand why he would be hiding who he was from us. I… I don’t know.”

Shige’s expression had been pained. Tegoshi frowned, could the person Shige had thought of had been…?

Keii slowly lifted Ryo to a sitting position as Shige helped him out by putting on Ryo’s new pyjama for him. He smiled weakly as he watch Shige buttoned up the shirt before Keii lowered Ryo back on his bed. He grabbed the comb from the nearby cabinet and started combing Ryo’s hair so that it would be a bit more manageable. Shige grinned as Ryo’s expression remained unchanged.

“For some reason, it was kinda funny to see us doing all this with Ryo acting all stoned—“ he said, chuckling as Keii threw a stray pillow at him.

“Shush you! And don’t start saying that Ryo’s like our life-sized doll or something—“, Keii started to say as that prompted even more laughter from Shige.

You’re the one saying it, not me!” he said, feeling amused too much before noticing that Ryo’s eyes seemed to sparkle… looking at him. “Hey, even Ryo find it funny…”

Keii smiled at his stepbrother as Ryo slowly cast his eyes towards him. He frowned as he followed Ryo’s gaze towards a certain vase. Immediately, he recalled what Shige had told him about Yamapi’s earlier observation. Keii glanced back towards Ryo as the lad seemed to be looking towards him now.

“Ryo, did you saw that person visiting you before? The one that had always leave behind those Carnation flowers. Did you saw who was that person? Did you know him?”

At once, Ryo’s expression started to change as he struggled to speak. It seemed to be such a hard task to do as tears started to fall from Ryo’s eyes. Unable to witness it anymore, Keii embraced Ryo again as he started whispering some comforting words to his ears. Shige bit his lips as he silently watched them from a corner…

Tsubasa frowned as he watched Shuuji spacing out at the cashier counter. He walked by the counter as he gently pat his arm.

“You know, Shuu… if you missed that kid so much, you should go to the hospital to see him.” He said as Shuuji looked at him in disbelief.

“No. I can’t… the kid had already been healing up pretty well. I should not interfere with that. Besides, I’m not the one the kid needs right now. I’m not related to the kid after all.”

Tsubasa laughed mockingly at him. “Hah! You sure could have fooled me. You looked as if a girlfriend had dumped you! Admit it… you loved the kid. And oh! Before you could say anything to deny it—“ he said as Shuuji seemed to want to argue with him, “—who said that you cannot be related to that kid? You don’t even know who you really are yourself! Don’t you want to find out the truth about yourself? Why should you be running away now?”

Shuuji blinked at his friend before smiling weakly. “Tsubasa. Did you want to throw me out of your house so desperately now?” he asked as Tsubasa grinned.

“Perhaps…”

Pi walked across the hall as Keiichiro greeted him not long after, taking Ryo out on a wheelchair for a bit of fresh air. Pi knelt before Ryo to greet him as Keii asked him to look after his brother. Apparently there was something that the doctor treating Ryo had wanted to tell them but Shige seemed to be having a bit of difficulty to understand what they were saying. So he had hastily called Keii for help, at which big brother have had to help. Pi grinned at that as he looked up towards Ryo, still kneeling in front of him. Ryo had still appeared expressionless but at least his eyes were alive…

He sighed.

“We still could not cheer you up much, huh?” Pi said as his phone suddenly rang. He turned it on, as the reception appeared to not be good. Pi bit his lips as he asked a passing nurse to watch Ryo for a while as he ran off to get a better signal…

“This was a bad idea…” Shuuji started to say as Tsubasa dragged him across the hall. “This was a very, very bad idea—“, he started to say before both of them turned to find Ryo sitting on a wheelchair by himself, while a nurse was standing nearby chatting with another nurse attending to the information counter. Tsubasa smiled before running towards them as he talked to the nurse for a bit before kidnapping Ryo away to bring him towards Shuuji.

Shuuji suddenly become flustered as both of them slowly arrived in front of him. He almost wanted to run away at once before noticing that Ryo had looked up towards him. That froze him to his spot as he knelt down to greet the young man.

“Hi… long time since I’ve seen you, eh?” Shuuji started to say, nervously…

Pi ran back towards the area where he had left Ryo as he noticed that the nurse, to whom he had left Ryo with, had been alone. He was about to panic before noticing Ryo not far from there… with two guys—at which one of them had looked familiar…

The man seemed to have noticed him coming as he appeared alarmed and appeared to want to leave immediately. His friend seemed to be against it but the guy seemed to be adamant. Pi was alarmed, he shouldn’t be leaving now—there were a lot of things that he had wanted to say…

Yamapi was about to quicken his pace before noticing the man had paused.

As he got closer… he found out why. Ryo had reached his hand out to grab the man’s jacket to stop him from leaving. Pi gasped aloud. That was the first time Pi had seen Ryo actually moving since the day Ryo had been admitted to this hospital…

Shuuji felt like his heart was about to burst the moment he felt the pull on his jacket. He could guess who did that, but he was afraid to turn and look. Tsubasa gave him a stern glare before he relented and turned around. Right away, his tears started to fall.

Ryo had looked at him, pleadingly. His expression was so sad, Shuuji could not turn away. Shakily, Ryo started to shake his head. His lips had started to move as well. As if he had wanted to speak.

Shuuji lowered himself again as he knelt in front of Ryo. Ryo’s hand immediately let go of his jacket and grabbed his hand.

“What is it… Ryo? What was it that you want to say?” Shuuji spoke as Ryo seemed to have troubles to form even the simplest of words. But when the words finally took form, Shuuji felt as if his world had just turned over upside down.

“O… nii… chan. Hi… de… onii… chan!”, Ryo started to say as Pi gasped. Shuuji looked up towards him as he realised he had not been dreaming. Ryo did call him… his brother!

Shuuji turned his attention towards Ryo as he shook his head.

“No… Ryo. It must have been a mistake. I’m not—I’m not your brother,” he started to say, despite his heart had hoped that it was true. But he could not give himself or Ryo false hopes about something that might not be true. He couldn’t—!

Ryo shook his head again as he started crying.

“No… you are… nii…,” he said again as Ryo tried to get up from the wheelchair. Shuuji exclaimed in alarm as Ryo collapsed towards him before he caught him.

“Ryo? Ryo!” Shuuji cried in alarm as Ryo had passed out. Tsubasa and Pi just stood frozen, as they did not know what to do.

“RYO!”

Suddenly, another shout was heard as Shuuji looked up to find another two persons running towards them. The older of the two stopped several steps from them as he gasped in disbelief.

“Oh my god! Hide… it was really you!”
