SOLITUDE

Part 2

DAY 9 - Melting ice


Candles video - Night to Day

Takuto makes scratch nine.


Takuto's bedroom - day

'I was hardly able to ear breakfast that morning. I was anxious about the meeting with Makita-san last night and it was certain that since coming here my appetite didn't exist either.'

"I was killed by Ryouta."

'I didn't understand the words. It didn't suit Makita-san or Ryouta. And then Makita-san dissapeared in front of my eyes. "I was killed". The more I think about the idea, the more the meaning weights on me.'

*quick knocking*

Ryouta: "Takuto!!"

'Unexpectedly, Ryouta's voice came with the sound of a rough knock.'

Takuto: "Ryotua..."

*quick knocking*

Ryouta: "Takuto. Please open."

'I felt the ominous presentiment in Ryouta's desperate shouting. I was not able to disregard it.'

(Hallway - day)

Ryouta (smiling): "...Takuto"

Takuto: "What happened?"

Ryouta asks if Chiharu said anything unpleasant last night. Takuto tells him they didn't talk for long.


CHOICE #26 - Final choice
1. Say nothing.
2. Say that she said Ryouta killed her.

Takuto: "Makita-san joked that she was killed by you."

Ryouta: "Nh!?"

Ryouta: "Wh...what a strange thing..."

'I was killed. What an impossible thing that was! I wanted to think it was just a nasty joke.'

Takuto: "Ryouta..."

Ryouta: "N-nothing! Anyway, forget what Chiharu said."

*running footsteps*

Takuto: "Ah...hey, Ryouta!"

'Ryouta runs off waving. I quiet closed my door feeling disappointed.'


Candles video - Day to Night

(black screen)

'For a long time after Ryouta was gone, I kept considering the meaning behind Makita-san's words and her relation to Ryouta. "I was killed by Ryouta." I think Ryouta killing is impossible--Ryouta cannot hate. Ryouta was waiting in the dinning room when I arrived. '

(dining room - night)

Ryouta: "Takuto...um, sorry about earlier."

Takuto: "...Eh? Ahh..."

Ryouta: "Seeing Chiharu so suddenly..."

Takuto: "Ah, ahh.."

Ryouta laughingly sat down in his seat like it was nothing at all. I was not able to ask, though I wanted to know the relationship between Ryouta and Makita-san. I did not want to think that Ryouta, who I thought was not able to tell a lie, was lying to me.

(Time passes)

Veronica: "Are you done with your meal, Takuto-sama?"

Takuto: "Yes, thank you."

Veronica: "Please follow me. The master calls."

Takuto: "Eh...!"

"I raised my voice instinctively. The small smile on Ryouta's face from a little while ago is gone."

Ryouta asks if he's not invited.

Veronica: "Yes. I am sorry, only Takuto-sama."

Ryouta: "I see..."

'I was not able to move. I didn't want to meet Haishima by myself any longer.'

'Unexpectedly, Ryouta laughed.'

Ryouta tells him it's all right.

'In my mind, I remembered the event in the summer house. I persuade myself that it was safe. I still believed Haishima at that time. It is different now.'

Takuto: "I understand."

Ryouta: "Hn."

(black screen)

*knocking*

Veronica annonces them.

Kou: "Ah, you may enter."


Living room

Kou: "Good evening."

Takuto: "..."

Haishima sat in the seat closest to the sofa and was drinking red wine. I froze instinctively. The red liquid looked like blood.

Kou: "Oya, do you dislike me now? Can't you greet me?"

Takuto: "...good evening."

Takuto asks him what he wants.

Kou: [The reason, coming near so hate? If, it probably will get near to you from me. Please take Takuto Veronica and wine.]

Veronica: "Understood."

Veronica bows to Haishima and picks up the wine cooler, then Haishime gets up and sits closer to Takuto.

*leather crunching*

Kou: "Is it unpleasant to talk to me?"

Kou: "Your mind must surely be full of distrust for me now."

Takuto: "I thought of it as a dream."

Kou: "Oh."

Takuto: "Since that day I came to deliver the Pascali. I tried to be convinced that all things that I had experienced were dreams."

Kou: "Are you saying that because you are still in a dream?"

Takuto: "Haishima-san. I'll ask once more. Your purpose...what is it? There must be something...absolutely some reasons."

Kou: "Why do you think so?"

Takuto: "..."

Kou: "You were interested in me so much...to wanting self-conceit..."

Takuto: "Please do not make fun of me! I'm serious."

Kou: "I am also serious."

Takuto: "Haishima-san!"

*leather crunching*

(Black screen)

Takuto: "...!?"

'Unexpectedly, my hand is pulled strongly and I, who lost my balance, fell on Haishima's knee. I stagger as my trousers are pulld down quickly and my hands and legs are tied together with the chains.'

*chains jingling*

*click*

Takuto: "What are you doing? These...remove them!!"

'Haishima laughs when I shout and unbutton's my shirt. I struggle desperately and am held firmly by Haishima.'

Kou: "Takuto. Do you want to learn why your meals have become unsavory?"

Takuto: "Eh?"


Takuto and Kou in the mirror

'Haishima turns toward the mirror. My breathe stops at the disgrace of my apperance in the reflection.'

Kou: "The reason why the warm daytime light becomes unpleasant...why the cold dark of the night becomes pleasant."

Takuto: "I..."

Kou: "I will teach you the meaning of the wound on your throat."

Takuto: *gasp*

'Haishima's tongue touched the wound at my throat. His cold tongue licks slowly.'

Kou: "The daytime light becomes unpleasant, the inability to have a meal and thus, a wound is left by putting one's mouth to the prey's throat. You've heard stories of such ominous monsters?"

Takuto: "...Haishima-san..."

Kou: "I am a vampire."

Takuto: *gasping*

'The tip of his tongue presses strongle and sucks. I shake my neck in order to run away as strong numbness boils up from the wound.'


Takuto and Kou in the mirror

Takuto (scared): "Ah...!?"

'I was nailed down bt the spectacle in the mirror. The bright red pupils. The same pupils of burning crimson from the summer house.'

Kou: "This is not a dream. ...No matter how you try to convince yourself you're in a dream ...These are all realities."

Takuto (scared): "Uah..Ah!"

'Haishima licked the wound again and he began to feel around the shirt on my chest.'

Takuto: "St--! Let me..." *gasping*

*chains jingling*

'The tip of a finger traces my nipple strongly through my thin shirt.'

Takuto: "Release...!" *gasping*

Takuto: *gasping* "Don't touch..." *gasping*

'However, pleasure boils up every time the fingernail rubs.'

Takuto: *gasping*

Kou: "...Takuto. The face that's reflected in the mirror... It only seems pleased."

Takuto: "...!?"

'I struggle while Haishima lowers the fastener on my trousers and removes them.'

Takuto: *gasping*

'I gasp as fingers touch my penis and it splashes in Haishima's hand.'

Takuto: *gasping* "St...op..."

Kou: "Hey, you're reacting this much already?"

Takuto: *gasping*

Kou: "Where does it feel good? A favorite place to be touched."

Takuto: "Do-...don't joke..." *gasping*

Kou: "Is it here?"

'Unexpectedly, Haishima's finger touches. The pleasurable numbness crawls along my hipbone.'

Takuto: *gasping* "St--"

Kou: "Or here?"

Takuto: *gasping* "St...op...."

'The liquid that begins to blot is rubbed strongly.'

Kou: "This way?"

Takuto: *gasping* "St..."

Kou: "Hey...aren't your legs opening? Takuto likes doing this after all so... "

Takuto: "St-stop..." *gasping*

'My waist shakes everytime Haishima's hand moves. Even if I manage to run away...'

Takuto: *gasping*

Kou: "With special care should I try touching other places?"

Takuto: "Eh...?"

*ice clinking*

'Haishima picks up the ice that was melting inthe wine cooler. I stare at the mirror as Haishima slowly licked the ice with his tongue.'

Takuto: (Haishima-san...?)

'I instictively stare at Haishima licking the ice without understandting hte meaning. Then Haishima laughed coldly in the mirror. The ice leaves his lips and my knee is gripped tightly.'


Takuto and Kou in the mirror

Takuto: "Ha...aaah!?"

'At the next moment, the cold ice was buried under my leg.'

Takuto: "Stop...! Don't....Ah...aaaahh!"

'The ice was pushed in further and Haishima begings to move his fingers slowly.'

Takuto: "St...op. Ah...ahhh!"

Kou: "It is likely to extend a little like this. It is alright; the hotter it is in you, the more it melts."

Takuto: "Stop...! Cold..." *gasping*

'Of course, it was the first time that something was put there, and that someone's finger entered. I twist instinctive in dislike.'

Takuto: *gasping* "Stop...! St...stop. Ah..."

'Haishima did not loosen his fingers, however the ice melted a little with each rub and Haishima's finger moved inside roughly.'

'Haishima raised to pull out more ice. I did not move though I thought to run away.'

Takuto: "St...Aaah!"

'Larger ice was pushed in with the first.'

Kou: "...Ah, the first ice begins to melt."

Takuto: *gasp*

'Still, ice from a little while ago still remained inside. Two pieces of ice are rolled by Haishima's finger, and my legs tremble.'

Kou: "...Even here it's dripping wet."

Takuto: *gasping* "No...more..."

Takuto: *quicker gasping* "St--stop."

'I heard the water at my legs.'

Kou: "Takuto wants to feel good? Do it by your own hand."

'My hand moved at his words without willing it.'

Takuto: "Ah..!"

'My fingers reached out to my oenis without permission. I fight against it desperately.'

Kou: "It is useless even if you disagree. You...I cannot act."

'Haishima laughed. My hand reached inbetween my legs though it trembled.'

Takuto: "...why...?"

Kou: "My bright red pupils can make you act according to my desire. And further more, you already have received the 'Ceremony' from me. Also, you are already just like me."

Takuto (breathlessly): "L...lies...I'm not.."

'I tightly shut my eyes and fight.'

Kou: "Enough though I'm a vampire, is it still unbelievable?"

Takuto: "I don't believe...it...it can't be true."

Kou: "...begin the second 'Ceremony'"

Takuto: "Ceremony...?""

Kou: "Now, while you watch, make your pleasant."

Takuto: "Ah...stop..."

'My hand touched there. At once, the tension loosens as the string are cut and my fingers are freed. '

Takuto: (Ah...!)

'At that moment I felt relieve and began to move my hand.'

Takuto: *gasping*

'My fingers moves. There was no hesitation like requesting a familiar pleasure. '

Kou: "That's it. Good boy, Takuto."

Takuto: *gasping* "Stop..." *gasping*

"[It is so, Takuto. It does so and it touches.]"

'A person's voice in my head. The voice of the man who taught this act in the beginning.'

Takuto: *gasping*

'Moreover, ice was buried on the inside.'

Kou: "...Ah, the previous ice is already lost."

The tip of Haishima's figer mixes in with the ice while whispering in my ear.

Takuto: "St..." *gasping* "Haishima-san...!"

Kou: "Takuto? Is it pleasant?"

Takuto: "Ah...that..."

'Haishima rubs inside with his finger. The vinration transmits to my penis.'

Kou: "Answer properly...Hey, does it feel good?"

Takuto: "St...op..Ah!"

'My hand kept moving ofr a long time though my neck was shaking 'no'.'

Kou: "Do you like touching yourself?"

Takuto: *gasping*

Kou: "Or doing it like this?"

Takuto: "St...op! This..st...op" *gasping*

'He screws in another finger, and begins to move roughly.'

Kou: "Or, both?"

Takuto: *Gasping*

'Two fingers are pushed in so that Haishima can play with the ice. The melting ice dripped and left a spot by my feet.'

Kou: "Now... you'll answer. You've been at this state for a long time without answering. The door remains open. What if someone happens to pass by...might you be seen?"

Takuto: *gasping* "St...op..this.."

'Liquid began to blot from the head of my penis. It overflows, and sounds sticky everytime my hand moves.'
Kou: "Then answer properly."

Takuto: *Gasping* "Ryo..ou."

'I couldn't suppress the word though I despised myself. The two pleasures mixed and my leg trembled.'

Kou: "Did you not hear me? Say it properly."

Takuto: *gasping* "Both...I feel it..." *gasping*

Kou: "Ah...you answered properly. Good child, Takuto. Your reward."

Takuto: *gasping* Haishima-san!

'Haishima's hand unexpectedly held mine and massaged strongly.'

Takuto: "St..." *gasping*

Kou: "You may let it out."

'Haishima firmyl clasps his hand.'

Takuto: *loud gasping*

Kou: "Don't you want to let it out? It's not necessary to endure it."

'Haishima whispers and hastens his movements. My lower limbs were numb with heat and pleasure gathered there.'

Takuto: *loud gasping*

Takuto: "Ah...AAhhh...---!!!"

(white flash)

'Semen overflows in our hands. Slow, a sound is made.'

Takuto: *panting*

Kou: "Oya? Your friend seems to have come before you noticed."

Takuto: "....!?"

'An unbelievable sounds is heard, and I look at the door in the reflection.'

Kou: "Ah, it will be Ryouta tonight. [You are sure to have been allowed to notice though you were.]"

Ryouta (whisper): "Ta...kuto..."

'I doubted my eyes. I couldn't believe it. Ryouta. I didn't want to believe that he's seen.'

Kou: "It seems Takuto didn't notice either."

Takuto (shocked): "Ah...Ryouta..."

Takuto: "Ryo..." *gasp* "Ryou...."

*door shuts*

Takuto: "Ryouta..."

'Haishima restrains me as I try to run after him.'

Kou: "You were seen in such a place. Such a sight might not have been seen if you'd closed the door."

Takuto: "Ah...lies..."

Kou: "Aah, escape is useless, Takuto. Because our talk has not ended yet."

'Haishima tightly grips my waist as I struggle.'

Takuto (painfully): "Ah, uahhh---!?"


Takuto and Kou in the mirror

'He screws in hard--the impact painful.'

Takuto: "Ah...Aaaaahh!! It hur....ahh!"

'He begins to move slowy. The water that remains inside overflows soundlessly.'

Takuto: "Sto..." *gasping*

Takuto: *gasping* "St-stop..."

'I didn't want to believe. My mind refused to understand.'

Kou: "You cannot leave this pavilion any longer like the former you could."

Takuto: *gasping*

'I did not want to believe that I was being violated by Haishima.'

Kou: "Next time you go outside that gate, you might be completely regenerated. In the dark...as a vampire."

Takuto: "What...are you saying?" *gasping*

Takuto: "L-lies..."

Kou: "It's not a lie.."

Takuto: *gasping*

'Haishima began to shake, gripping my waist.'

Kou: "That decrepit man passed the gun to you."

Takuto: "Ka...ah...st-...kuh.."

Kou: "However, the other person who hates me most, cannot kill me."

Takuto: "E-eh?"

Kou: "'My parents were killed by a monster.' The young Takuto said so certainly at that time."

Takuto: *fast gasping*

Kou: "You want to know the true colors of the 'monster'?"

Takuto: *fast gasping*

Kou: "Takuto will learns. The 'monster' is someone. "

Takuto: "Ah...ugh---!!"

'Hot numbness runs through my throat. I felt hot enough to be burnt in the flame. Something hard digs into my skin.'

*heartbeat/red*


A dark forest in the past

"The engine doesn't work completely. After all, you should have stayed there."

"I'm sorry because I rushed it. I'm worried about Takuto."

Takuto's voice: "Ah...ahh!?"

'In case of the dream. They are voices that are surely not to be forgotten.'

"It is safe, and even I worry about Takuto. He has a little fever."

"Therefore, I will walk for now. I will surely arrive at the next town and come back for you. "

"Ah, it is so."

Takuto: ("St-op...! Ah..ahhh!!")

*heartbeat/red*

'I was correct, and my parents. We begin to walk on the snowy road when the engine of the car becomes dead.'

"However, this forest is really dark"

"Was there not any development around here at all? The pavement tends also to become broken."

"An old rumor of former times says that a monster had lived in this forest. A vampire they say?

"Unpleasant talk. However, are not you amused when such a certain forest is deep?"

Takuto's voice: ("St--op...aa...uun!")

'Surely. This was that night...the night when papa and mother died---.'

Takuto: (*sobbing / gasping* Don't...!)

*heartbeat/red*

'I wanted to yell at the two people by some means, but the image only kept being reproduced like a movie far away in my mind.'

"What are you!!??"

'A black mantle waves greatly in the snow. "It" stood at papa and mother's sides before they were aware.'

'I shouted desperately. Tears overflowed. However, my voice was not carried to the two people. "It"' drew mother's arm. Something bright red scattered from the body of papa who tried to stop it.'

*heartbeat/red*

'Papa's body is dyed red as having been torn, and he collapses in the snow.'

'[The throat with embracing of 'It' mother closely---.]'

Takuto: (*screams*)

*heartbeat/red*

(black screen)

'I fall down as I feel a strong sense of relief from shouting'


living room

Takuto: *panting*

[Power did not enter. Feeling like mind and's having become a rose. It was also already good by some means though the liquid that became cloudy had overflowed from the penis that seemed to have been reached.]

Takuto: *panting*

'My face is drawn so that Haishima tightly grip my jaw.'

Kou in the living room

Kou: "Did you see? ...Your parents were killed. The face of the 'monster'..."

Takuto: *sobs*

Kou: "It is certainly possible to leave here if I am killed. Such a thing might be impossible for you at all. You're powerless in this."

Takuto: *rough sobs*

Kou (deep): "In other words...you have already become my slave. Fighting against me ...it's impossible to accomplish in all eternity."

Takuto: *sobs*

(black screen)

'Lukewarm liquid overflowed from my eyes.'

~DAY 10 - After tears~


Candles video - Night to Day

Takuto makes scratch ten


Takuto's bedroom - day

'The worst awakening. I noticed I had been crying in my sleep when I rose from the bed.'

Takuto: "Ryouta...---"

'I was seen by Ryouta. Haishima violating me in that way.'

Takuto: *sobbing*

'The death of my parents crossed my mind and tears overflowed again. Torn bodies. Scattered blood. And the black mantle that waved in the snow--'

Takuto: "Why?" *sobbing*

'It was not possible to cling to Ryouta no matter how painful. Ryouta might surely dispise me this time.'

'My tears did not stop. I was thinking that my mind broke and it wasn't necessary to think about it.'


Candles video - Day to night


Takuto's bedroom - night

*knocking*

Veronica: "The preparation for Takuto-sama's food is prepared."

'It was Veronica's voice. It was time for dinner already.'

Takuto: "...don't need it."

Veronica: "You did not eat breakfast either. The way things are going, it is bad for your body."

Takuto (yelling): "I said I don't need it!"

Veronica: "..."

Takuto: "Ah..."

'After I shouted, I regretted it intensely.'

Veronica: "[I said it was forward.] I must be going."

Takuto: "Veronica...!"

*sheets rustling*

'Springing to my feet, I ran from the bed to the door.'

*door opening*

Takuto: "Veronica...?"

'However, Veronica wasn't there any longer. Only the dim, quiet passage existed.'

Takuto: "I...am the worst. Veronica has nothing to do with it..."

'I collapses there. Tears flowed again.'

DAY 11 - Loss


Candles video - Night to Day

Takuto makes scratch eleven


Takuto's bedroom - day

'I was not able to leave my room. Meeting someone---I was scared to go out of my room to meet Ryouta or Haishima. Veronica had brought breakfast even though I had snarled yesterday. Veronica only narrowed her eyes in my apology. I was not able to eat bread and scrambled eggs any longer and instead asked for water, juice, tea and fruit. I was awfully thirsty.'

Takuto: (Ryouta...)

'I understood it was useless even if I shut myself up in my room. While Haishima is here, Ryouta has the possibility to use violence again.'

'I thought so while peeling off the skin of the apple veronica brought.'

Takuto: "Did Haishima really kill papa and mother?"

'I desperately tried to forgetthe spectable that I'd seen at that time. '

Takuto: (Will Ryouta come for dinner tonight?)

'I put the fruits knife on the cart.'


Candles video - Day to night

(black screen)

'It was time for dinner and Veronica came. I hesitated as I went out of the room.'

(dining room - night)

Ryouta (wide-eyed): "Takuto..."

I enter the dining room. No one spoke since then. Ryouta and I stood in heavy silence for a while. I wanted to run away form this place. Though I had to speak. I only wanted Ryouta to understand me.

Takuto: "Ryouta...that...the night before..."

'I trembled as soon as I opened my mouth.'

Ryouta: "..."

Takuto: "...sorry."

Ryouta: "...!?"

'Ryouta sucked in a breath. And his expression changed to a bad mood.'

Takuto: "...Ryouta?"

Ryouta: "Why are you apologizing?"

Takuto: "...at that time..."

Ryouta: "At that time? Because I saw what you were doing...is that the reason you're apologizing?"

Takuto: "Ryouta!? "

Ryouta: "You apologize with what!? In the apology, my desire for Takuto was overlooked?"

Takuto: "...!?"

Ryouta: "Am I wrong, Takuto?"

Takuto: "Ryouta!?"

Ryouta (angry): "Did you not resist at all?!"

Takuto: "...!?"

'My legs began to tremble.'


Ryouta pouts

Ryouta: "I envy that fellow..."

Takuto: "...Eh?"

Ryouta: "...because with Takuto, it is possible to do those kind of things."

*heartbeat / red*

Takuto: "Ryouta....?"

'I felt dizzy. I did not want to believe what I heard now.'

Ryouta: "Is it useless between Takuto and me?"

*heartbeat / red*

Takuto: "...---!?"

'I wanted to close Ryouta's mouth.'

Ryouta: "For instance, holding me in your mouth..."

Takuto (sad): "...!!??"

*heartbeat / red*

Ryouta: "Is it too impossible for me? You do it only to him."

*heartbeat / red and glass shatters*

(black screen)

'I certainly thought I heard something break within me.'

Takuto: "Ryouta...---"

**Takuto's voice changes.

'I knelt in front of Ryouta and slowly lowered the fastern on Ryouta's trousers.'

*zipper*

Ryouta: "...Takuto!?" A joke--!"


Takuto kneels in front of Ryouta

Ryouta: "...Ah...!?"

'I drag out Ryouta's penis, and hold it in my mouth.'

Ryouta: "Ta--takuto! It was a joke!"

Takuto: *sucking*

Ryouta: "Ah...Ta-Takuto...! Stop that..."

Takuto: *sucking*

Ryouta: "Takuto..." *gasping* "Don't...!"

Takuto: *sucking*

'Ryouta's penis grew at once in my mouth. Hot and hardness increased while trembling, and my mouth is filled with surprise.'

Ryouta: *gasping* "Ta-takuto...I...I."

Takuto: *sucking*

'Neither my dislike, shame nor any disgrace existed. I only touched. I thought only that as my tongue scrubbed his skin.'

Ryouta: "Ah...aaah.."

Takuto: *sucking*

Ryouta: *panting* "Ta--takuto..."

Takuto: *sucking*

'A taste like blood filled my mouth and liquid began to twine around my tongue. I strongly sucked the blotting liquid from the tip of Ryouta's swlling penis.'

Ryouta: *quiet gasping*

Takuto: *sucking*

'Ryouta's legs trembled. Prostesting disapears and his cheeks are dyed in red pleasantness.'

Ryouta: "St--stop this...Takuto...! Ah, I...seriously!"

Takuto: *sucking*

Ryouta: *gasping* "Don't...I..." *gasping*

Takuto: *sucking*

Ryouta: "Uh...it's a lie, Takuto...I..."

Takuto: *sucking*

Ryouta: *quiet gasping* "Takuto..."

Takuto: *sucking*

I heard Ryouta's voice which seemd glad and I strengthened the movement of my tongue. Still, Ryouta was the same as 'They'.

Takuto: *sucking*

Ryouta: "Takuto...it feels good...Takuto's tongue...hot."

'Ryouta shouted and his body shook.'

Takuto: *greedy sucking*

Ryouta: "Takuto...I...I like Takuto. Therefore...therefore..."

'Like. The word was already unnecessary to me now. It was reduced to the most worthless word to me now.'

Takuto: *greedy sucking*

Ryouta: *gasping* "Takuto, Takuto...! It's coming out...already...I..."

'Ryouta's penis swelled again as his limit approached. I quicken my movements and strongly pressed my lips and tongue.'

Takuto: *greedy sucking*

Ryouta: *loud gasping* "It's coming out. "

Takuto: *greedy sucking*

Ryouta: "Ha...uaaaahhhh...---!"

(white flash)

Takuto: "Uuu...!"

'The semen that Ryouta had shot scattered on my face. It was already trivial.'

Ryouta: *heavy panting* "Ta...kuto..."

Ryouta: *heavy panting*

(black screen)

'I stood from Ryouta who was still catching his breath, and turned on my heel. I began to walk slowly toward my room.'


Takuto showers with his clothes on

*faucet squeak*

'The cool water drops on me. Ryouta's sticky semen washed away.'

Takuto (faintly): "Haishima-san...and Ryouta...are both cruel."

'Events came to mind. In the music room of Arecshio when I ate lunch with Ryouta. When I was glad Haishima said he wanted white roses. Ryouta waiting for my return. When I said that Haishima was not good at love. The day Ryouta lost the key to the apartment. [When it was said that it wanted to hold Syusei.] The telephone calls from Shibamata.'

Takuto (faintly): "I don't do anything."

'When I went to visit the shrine on New Year's Day with Ryouta. When I went shopping with Ryouta. With Ryouta---.'

Takuto (faintly): "Though I shouldn't have hoped for anything..."

'Was I wrong? Should I not have hoped for being with someone? Who did I not request?'

Takuto (faintly): "Why...---"

*Facet squeaks off*


Takuto's bedroom - dark

*hard pounding*

Ryouta (muffled): "Takuto!! Please open up!!"

'Ryouta's voice was on the other side of the door when I left the bathroom.'

Ryouta (muffled): "Takuto!!"

'I slowly walk to the door.'

*door opening*


Ryouta's outside Takuto's door

Ryouta: "Ah...Takuto....!!"

Ryouta's face was desperate when I opened the door. Why did laughter lump in my throat?

Ryouta: "Thank goodness...! Umm, a little while ago..."

Takuto: "A little while ago...what's wrong?"

Ryouta: "Eh? Umm...no. Ahh...Takuto...you're wet? What happened?"

Takuto: "I showered for a little while."

**Takuto's voice is still weird.

Ryouta: "Shower? Wh-while wearing clothes?"

'I smiled. My lips seemed to be frozen in that shape.'

Ryouta: "...Ah, umm, is it okay to talk for a moment? I can come in?"

Takuto: "Ah, please."


Ryouta sad

'I invited Ryouta into the room. Ryouta walks straight to the sofa. Unexpectedly, the fruit knife I left on the cart caught my eye. I quietly took it. Thought it was small, it was still sharp.'

Ryouta: "...Takuto. A little while ago...that..that...I'm sorry!! It wasn't not my intention."


Takuto hugs Ryouta from behind

Takuto: "It's all right. There's no need to say anything any longer."

'I quietly move my hand to the back of Ryouta's neck and embrace him closely. I laughed lightly afer all.'

Ryouta: "Ta-takuto...?"

'Surely, I hoped too much. I didn't want to believe that Ryouta became like 'Them'. From the beginning, there was no one on my side. Therefore, I was not lonely. It was not painful. After all, there was no one from the beigging. There was no one, and surely there would be no one on my side in the future.'

'Already.'

'Everyone already---.'

Takuto (whispering): "What Ryouta wants to say is understood. Therefore, you may not say anything any longer."

~SOLITUDE~


Looking out a window at the city.


Takuto and Syusei

Takuto: "Ah...uahhh...Syusei."

Takuto: *gasping*

Syusei: "Takuto...!"

'I also shake my waist shouting.'

Takuto: *gasping*

Takuto: "Did you think I was lying?" *Gasping* "Don't be cold-hearted, Syusei."

Syusei: "Foolishness...it's different. Takuto...I still cannot believe...I'm holding Takuto..."

Takuto: "Is it unbelievable...? *Gasping* "This is a dream surely."

'I laugh and move my waist greatly. Then, Syusei narrows his eyes in satisfaction and grips his claws on my thighs. I shake little by little. Syusei thinks that he obtained me. In reality, it is different.'
'However, I've tied Syusei to me. He comes to this room at midnight whenever I call.'

Takuto: *gasping* "I didn't know you were a romantic..."

Syusei: "Romantic...? I..."

Takuto: *gasping* "Syusei!" *gasping*

'I rub against Syusei and pull out shallowly to irritate the vicinity of the entrance.'

Takuto: "Ha...haa...it's good...Syusei..."

'It was shot inside many times and semen stick there.'

Syusei: "You're the best...Takuto...the best like I imagined."

Syusei: "Aaahh...In that way, you receive"

Takuto: *gasping* "Syusei!"

'Syusei grabs my waist and screws in more deeply.'

Syusei: "However, might Ryouta not really be gone?"

Takuto: "Syusei...? [Such a thing you say there is no manner violation such a time...?]"

Syusei: "I'm sorry. However....Ryouta...I surely though Takuto was his favorite."

Takuto: "Such a thing. I did nothing with Ryouta."

Syusei: "Takuto...?"

'To quiet Syusei, I put my mouth against his. Syusei's lips tasted like cigarettes and bourbon. I licked them several times.'

Takuto: "Favorite....it was never said."

Syusei: "Takuto..."

Takuto: "[Syusei, Eyes of disappearing like Ryouta?]"

Syusei: "[It disappears...In it is possible to hold. Takuto then?]"

Syusei: "[Death of Shibamata..."]

'I narrowed my eyes. I was impossible to have imagined me doing this a year ago. So, I have erased Ryouta, and Shimamata-san was also erased by these hands. Because I buried them with ehse hands, perhaps I didn't need to cry anylonger. It wasn't painful, I wasn't sad, because everything was lost at that time---.'

Takuto: "Syusei...ah, ha...ahhh. Syusei-san...If you don't betray me, you can sleep at my side for a long time."

Takuto: "Aaahh, Syusei-san...! I...it seems to live." *gasping*

Syusei: "Come...Takuto..."

Takuto: "Ah...aaahhh...aahhh, coming... Ah...coming...aa...aaaah! Ah...Aaaahhhh---!!"
