~Day 12 - The One Who Breaks~
Candles video - Night to Day
Scratch 12
Garden path at dawn
'I went to look for Ryouta at once when I awoke.'
Ryouta broken
'There was Ryouta in front of the gate. Brand-new blood seeps into the bandage of the hand that was rolled by Veronica. Perhaps, the gate was hit also today. The blood did not smell. My nose was deceived by the smell of antiseptic on the bandage.'
Takuto: "Ryouta..."
Ryouta: "..."
'Ryouta sees me and looks down without a saying anything.'
Takuto: "Your hand..."
Takuto asks if he's going to be able to play guitar again.
Ryouta: "I've seemed to become crazy...such confinement... "
Takuto: "I met Makita-san last night."
Ryouta: "EH!?"
'Ryouta's shoulder trembled greatly. Anger or fright, I cannot tell by his eyes. I stare.'
Takuto: "Why did you conceal it? Why did you deceive me in that way?"
'Last night's expression from Makita-san that says she hates Ryouta hasn't left my mind.'
Ryouta (sadly): "...no reason."
'I hesitated on whether to keep. I was called by Ryouta before long. I answered while subduing the haste in my mind.'
Ryouta asks if she said anything about him.
CHOICE #28
1. Nothing is sad.
2. Ryouta has been heard
Takuto says that he and Chiharu are not on good terms.
Ryouta asks more questions but Takuto said they hardly had a chance to speak before she left
'Ryouta became silent again. What on earth is the reason why she has changed in that way?'
Ryouta: "Am I Takuto's best friend?"
Takuto: "...? Such a thing...Why?"
Ryouta: "Takuto is important to me."
Takuto: "...Ryouta..."
Ryouta: "Takuto. I met Chiharu in the spring. However you did not know."
Takuto: "Why?"
Takuto: "Tell me the reason, Ryouta. Why do you refuse Makita-san so much? What did you try to conceal from me?"
Ryouta (angry): "It's none of your business!!"
Takuto: "Ryouta...!"
Ryouta: "It has nothing to do with Takuto. This is a problem only between Chiharu and me. Therefore, Takuto must not snoop around."
'Ryouta stands up while making a parting remark. Ryouta walked passed my side, and left without turning his gaze to me. '
Takuto: "Ryouta..."
'My had unconsciously left me and grabbed the gate. It's impossible to go out.'
*gate rattles sfx*
Takuto: (Shit...!)
To go out. I had thought about it for a long time up until now. What I valued there (in the outside world)...was it really important?
Takuto (eyes closed): "I...I..."
'Shibamata will surely contact me again when the telephone is connected. And, I should consider it for the band...to sleep with Shibamata so everyone can debut. And, it is necessary to consider the same thing in this pavilion. '
'To be under Haishima's thumb to help Ryouta.'
Takuto: "Ryouta..."
'I don't want to afflict Ryouta any longer. And, I do not want to see the Ryouta who ran away from me like that. Then, there is only one choice that I have. I...Haishima-san----.'
Takuto: (Why...)
'Have I been wrong?'
'[Why will I have come to the place in such a refuge that not is?] However, I have understood there is no one else who can answer the question.'
'I began to walk toward in the pavilion, releasing my hand from the gate. '

(Dining room)
'Haishima did not come to supper today. However, eating 'human food' may be worthless to Haishima. It probably isn't necessary to show his face. And surely I began not to accept 'Man's food' either.'
Ryouta: "...Neh, Takuto."
Takuto: "Eh?"
Ryouta asks about his appetite. Ryouta drops his utensil. Takuto says he didn't notice. He's hardly touched his plate. Ryouta's worried it might not be safe to eat.
'Perhaps, Ryouta will not consent until I eat? '
Takuto forces himself to eat the food, even though it makes him feel sick. Veronica comes in and cleans up the table. Takuto asks Veronica to take him to Kou's room. Ryouta immediately jumps up out of his seat.
Ryouta (angry): "Takuto!? Why are you going to meet him!?"
'It was a mistake to say it in front of Ryouta.'
Ryouta asks what they're going to talk about. Takuto says it's nothing.
'To help of you. I was not able to say such a thing toward Ryouta.'
Ryouta (sad): " ...to me...is it not possible to say?"
Takuto: "Ryouta !?"
Ryouta (quietly angry): "[Takuto doesn't have that it is the loan in case of him after all.]"
Takuto: "That...isn't it, Ryouta."
Veronica: "Takuto-sama? What will you do?"
CHOICE #29
1. It is answered that it wants to meet Haishima.
2. It is answered that it still stops it.
'I hesitated to answer. If it is true, it is necessary to question Haishima as soon as possible. '
Takuto: "I'm sorry Veronica. After all, not tonight."
Ryouta: "You're not going?"
Somehow, Ryouta convinces Takuto to go.
Takuto: "I'm sorry Veronica. Can you tell Haishima I want to talk?"
Veronica: "Certainly. I'll ask the master if he'll come. Wait in the reception room, please."
Reception room
'Perhaps about thirty minutes passes sitting on the sofa in the reception room. The door opens, and Haishima enters.'
Kou: "Good evening."
Takuto: "Good evening."
Kou: "You wanted to talk?"
Takuto: "Hai."
Kou: "Is this going to be long? Should I have veronica prepare some drinks?"
'I was embarrassed with the question. Haishima went ahead, and I began to be rapidly thirsty though I did not want to speak long.'
Takuto: "...something light."
'Haishima winks at Veronica, and she leaves. Haishima did not say anything though only the two of them were left. He only crosses his legs, sitting in a relaxed manner on the sofa without looking at me.'
'I was scared at Haishima's quietness.'
Veronica: "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
'Juice from some fruits and red wine. '
Kou: "Aa, thank you."
Takuto: "...Thank you."
'When my hand brought the class closer, the scent of sweet rum was faint.'
Kou: "Thank you Veronica. You may go."
Kou: "...Well, speak?"
Takuto: "Is there a woman called Chiharu Makita here?"
'Haishima doesn't answer. The red wine is drunk laughingly as evading.'
Takuto: "Even if you lie, it's useless. I met her."
Kou: "Oh?"
Takuto: "Why? Are you and Makita-san acquainted? Why is she here?"
Kou: "You knew each other a little before. She accompanied me here. Do you understand? I have not confined her like you think. She wants to be here."
Takuto (angry): "!!"
Takuto glares at him.
Takuto: "But...her parents and friend worry very much."
Kou: "Pathetic."
Takuto: "Eh?"
Kou: "Her fate might have been different if she didn't work at the same shop as you."
'I almost dropped the glass at Haishima's words. Makita-san...because of me. '
Kou: "Takuto. You have a mind not defiled by provoking."
Takuto: "Haishima-san...?"
Kou: "You might not know someone is suffering because of that delicate, beautiful mind of yours."
Takuto: "Please stop this false charge!"
Kou: "It's not false."
Takuto yells at him. He thinks about his anger, Makita-san's unusual smile and Ryouta beating on the gate like he'd gone mad.
Kou: "You're foolish. You have not noticed yet, the truth of my environment. "
Takuto: "...surroundings...?"
Kou: "You're the only one that doesn't know. Because you, who are cruel and not defiled, are averting your eyes."
Takuto: "!?"
Kou: "Angry?"
'I bit my lip lightly.'
Kou: "It might be that you're embarrassed. Now before we talk."
'As he says so, Haishima pours more wine to his glass. Liquid the color of blood is poured into the emptied crystal.'
Takuto: "I ask one more thing. Please let Makita-san and Ryouta go."
Kou: "You've made up your mind?"
Takuto: "He isn't involved. He has the right to go out."
'Haishima unexpectedly stood up. His arm is extended to me and I'm held firmly. Haishima's tongue touches the wound on my throat. The finger crawls along my neck and the button of my shirt is opened.'
Takuto: "Ha...sto--!"
Kou: "You cannot leave here for all eternity even when your friend goes out. Still, you don't care."
'His lips whispered then pressed against my throat again. The pleasure runs down my spine when the cold wet tongue slowly runs over the wound.'
Kou: "What will you do? Is it still impossible?"
'I was asked, and I bit my lip again instinctively. Memories of learning the names of the roses were very important to me. One that I wanted to be valued.'
Takuto: "...I don't care."
Kou (surprised): "Oh?"
Takuto: "However, please help Ryouta and Makita-san. "
Kou laughs coldly.
'And I was mightily pushed onto the carpet at the next moment.'
Takuto: *painful noises*
Kou: "*laughs loudly* The wonderful spirit of self-sacrifice I surely thought such words would never come from your mouth. It was impossible that you escaped here, though I thought you would drive yourself mad."
'Haishima gripped my jaw tightly while saying so. I was not able to stand up.'
Kou: "...Let's change the scenario a little. Takuto, does your friend know your decision?"
Takuto: "...He doesn't ."
Kou: "Then, how do you explain? He seems to have raged that he wants to help you. Will he leave you and go out of here obediently?"
Takuto: "That's..."
Kou: "Let's ask the person in question directly."
Takuto: "Eh!?"
Kou: "Let's talk together at supper tomorrow. He will leave when he agrees to your decision."
Takuto: "Keh! I must be going."
'I turned my face away from Haishima's hand and stood up staggering. I ran straight out of the reception room.'
(Hallway - night)
'I kept running for a while down the hallway. All the places that Haishima touched were hot. I ran desperately even if I just went away from Haishima even a little. The door in the dining room where I tried to run to was thinly open. Ryouta was standing there when I went inside.'
Takuto: "Ryouta? What happened? I thought you went back your room?"
'I entered the dining room. '
(Dining room)
Ryouta: "Takuto..."
Takuto: "What is it?"
'Ryouta looked down after staring at me.'
Ryouta: "Shirt..."
Takuto: "Eh?"
Ryouta asks why his shirt is unbuttoned.
Takuto: "Eh!? ...Ah!?"
I was startled, and covered the breast of the shirt with my hand. I thought that the act of Haishima a little while ago was seen by Ryouta, and shame rises.
Ryouta (angry): "Even I wanted to believe. I wanted to believe Takuto. But--!"
*glass breaking*
*thud*
Ryouta shoves Takuto onto the table
Takuto: "Bastard, what are you doing!!"
Takuto: "Hey!? Did you go mad!?"
Ryouta: "Takuto would rather die than be held by a man. Takuto what did you do? What did you do with him?"
Takuto: "Ryouta..."
"I felt dryness in my throat, and it become suffocating."
Ryouta: "Did not you think I wouldn't notice? I saw. Surely, I am to blame. "
Ryouta: "You like him. "
Takuto: "Ryouta!? It's different!"
Ryouta: "Why are you touching him? Aren't I good?"
'Ryouta's hand hung to my pair of trousers. Suddenly the sound of the fastener lowered.'
Takuto (very angry): "Le--LET GO!!"
*Thud sfx*
Ryouta: "Ugh!"
'My leg kicked Ryouta up by his belly. '
Takuto (angry): "It's none of your business."
Ryouta: "Takuto!?"
Takuto: "You did not see anything. ...Anything. Nothing is seen."
'After I rolled off the table, I left that place.'
(white dream tunnel)
~Key to the room~
Young Takuto and Ryouta having lunch
'If my memory is not mistaken, this is the day I decided to cohabit with Ryouta.'
Ryouta asks about the cost of apartments. When Takuto asks why Ryouta panics. He doesn't want to live alone since he's used to a large family. They wish each other well on their tests.
'A nostalgic spectacle. '
Takuto asks if he wants to live with him. Ryouta jumps up, spilling his drink all over his jacket.
Ryouta: "Ehhhhhhhhh!???? With senpai!? With Katsuragi-senpai?!!"
'"I" presented Ryouta with a handkerchief. '
Ryouta: "Are you serious?"
Takuto: "Ah."
Ryouta: "YATTAAAAAAA!!"
Takuto's apartment
'The doorbell rings. This is a day of the move. '
Takuto: "Ah, come in."
Ryouta: "Ko...ko, ko-konnichiwa."
Ryouta's too quiet. Takuto asks if it's unpleasant living here.
Ryouta: "Heh!!!!????"
He's only nervous.
Takuto: "Is that so?"
Ryouta: "It is, it is, it is!"
Takuto gives him the keys to the apartment
Ryouta: "Thank you very much, Katsuragi-senpai!!"
Takuto tells him to call him Takuto. Ryouta's beyond ecstatic.
