I'll meet you all there at Maruki's palace soon. I'm stopping to get some tea and pancakes from Miel et Crêpes. Think of it as my last meal of sorts.

that's not funny, and you know it

Hm, well I can't die on an empty stomach, now can I? I'll bring some for you as well, Akira. I don't want you stealing my food again like last time.
why do you talk as if i'm not going to save you…

i thought i'd at least get to say goodbye after we finished, but fate is cruel like that i guess.

you never realized how deserving of love you were. and you were such an idiot for not seeing that i was there to give it to you.

or maybe you did see, and just chose to torture yourself more.

either way, in case it wasn't clear, i loved you.

ryuji came over today to try to keep me company, but it wasn't the same without you.

when you were still here i had in my head this whole plan of confessing to you and throwing you a nice surprise dinner for valentine's day. we were going to go to tokyo tower at night when there was a perfect view of the city.

then after that, well...

i'm leaving town today. my parents finally decided i wasn't a disgrace anymore and wanted me to come back for the break. i didn't really want to, but sojiro said i should, and i didn't want to disappoint him. plus he deserves a break from having me around this past year.

i stopped by the jazz jin and muhen asked where you've been. he seemed worried, and also said that he'd never seen you there with anyone else besides me.

i had to try to keep myself together.

i feel like if i leave this town, i'm leaving you behind. i don't want you to ever think that.

of course my parents were as loving as always. haha, if you can't tell i'm being sarcastic. but i'm back at leblanc now, so it doesn't matter.

sojiro had hot curry waiting for me, and futaba gave me a big hug. i wish you were there to greet me.

Apr 25, 2020 3:21 PM
one of these days i'm expecting to hear the cafe door chime and look up and see you there with your obnoxious argyle vest and cocky smirk.

you were so smart, and it turned me on. you were the only person who could match my wit.

May 7, 2020 4:17 AM
i miss you.

June 12, 2020 5:47 AM
i'm holding out hope that you're still alive. how is your phone not disconnected yet? pfft, but knowing you, you probably paid for your phone bill a year in advance.

i'm so foolish for believing.

June 20, 2020 2:22 AM
i wish we'd taken more pictures together. pictures of the genuine you, with your grumpy eyes and your flustered cheeks. i wanted to kiss them. i wanted to kiss you.

i hate seeing your fake smile taunting around me all the time through interview reruns and fan girls.

July 3, 2020 1:34 PM
did you like rain or snow better?

Aug 15, 2020 6:17 PM
i saw your favorite shampoo today. i couldn't help but buy a bottle. if you ever come back, just know it's waiting for you.

and so am i.

Sep 1, 2020 9:36 PM
our friends saw my messages to you today... they think i'm crazy for texting a dead person.

maybe i am.

but i don't mind being crazy if it's for you.

Sep 18, 2020 6:10 PM
this 3rd year girl confessed to me today. it's like you once said, all i could think about was how i was going to turn her down.

Oct 31, 2020 11:30 PM

but i loooiiuve you!! ❤️

Nov 1, 2020 12:01 PM
sorry about that.

Nov 5, 2020 2:45 PM
they're getting rid of the game we used to play together at the arcade. i tried to get them to stop but they didn't give a shit.

i'm never going there again.

Dec 25, 2020 7:57 PM
merry christmas. you can jingle my bells.

Jan 1 12:00 AM
wow. cheers to another year without you. haha.

Feb 2 12:26 AM
i have to stop doing this. i'm going fucking crazy texting you goro. my messages are being sent into the void yet i'm pretending like you're still here and just busy or sleeping and that's why you can't respond. the noise my messages make when they send are purposefully trying to make me more depressed.

i need you. but you left and you broke me.

you'd say what we did was the right choice, but it wasn't.

you're not here anymore and i'm alone and i can't stand living without you.

Jun 2 12:00 AM
this will be my last message to you. happy birthday.

i'm still depressed, but i've been improving. especially at billiards, though i'm still kinda shit at darts. i bet you'd laugh at me if you saw me play again.

anyways, thanks. for everything. i'm never going to be over you. fuck, i just love you so much. why couldn't you let me love you?! how do you expect me to get over someone like you?

god you were so selfless. the others don't get you like i do. no one does. i'm sorry i couldn't save you. i tried to keep my hope alive, but it's already been a fucking year. i don't want to keep taunting you.

i hope i can see you again sometime.

i love you.

goodbye, goro.

I hate how resilient you are, but I suppose you'll have to enlighten me with your new billiard plays over a trip to Penguin Sniper then, hm?
Remind me not to give you alcohol though, if you're just going to be babbling like an idiot the whole time. Though, I do think it would be amusing watching you praise me. ;)
