The moment she arrived at her room, Fuyu started to take everything that belonged to Yamasho. She got a box for it. She grabbed the polaroid photos that are hanging on the string attached to the wall and put it in the box. She also put there the gifts she received from him.

"Fuyu, tell me what happened." Makoto tried to stop her but then, she gave the box to him. She pushed him out of her room and locked the door.

"Give that to him when he comes. I don't want to see him anymore." She tried her best not to cry anymore. Makoto sighed and just followed her instructions.

Her tears started to fall again and she cried until she felt that she had no more water inside her body. She took her uniform off and changed her clothes into a warm and comfortable one. She felt her whole upper body aching and she doesn't know that her back is already swollen. Makoto ditched his classes just for his twin sister and now, he is outside the house and talking to Yamasho. He gave the box to him but he just stared at it.

"Where is she?" Yamasho asked and he decided to let him inside the house. Makoto knocked on the door but Fuyu didn't answer.

He looked for the spare keys inside the drawer and opened the door. When the two went inside her room, they saw how messy it was. Fuyu is unconscious on the bed but she is grunting in pain.

"Fuyu, what's wrong?" The younger quickly approached her and tried to shake her but she was just grunting. She is even crying while unconscious.

"Chotto." Yamasho stopped him and he slowly lifted the hem of her shirt. Red patches showed up on her skin and realized that her back is swollen.

Makoto got his phone from his pocket and called for an ambulance. Their parents are still at work and he doesn't want to worry them, so he just called for an ambulance to take her to the hospital. Fuyu slowly opened her eyes after some minutes. She fainted because of too much pain. When she tried to move, she cried in pain.

"Don't move. The ambulance will be here soon." Yamasho said and she managed to push him away. She told Makoto that she doesn't want to see him anymore. Why is he there?

"Leave me alone. I'm fine. Don't worry about me." She mumbled, burying her face on the pillow to hide her tears.

Makoto got an ice pack for her swollen back and she winced in pain when he carefully pressed it against it. After a few minutes, the ambulance came. The paramedics placed her on the stretcher and the two followed her inside the ambulance.

Yamasho looked at her sleeping face. He can clearly see the dried tears on her cheeks. She is suffering because of him. He was feeling useless when he learned what really happened that time. He can't believe that there are people who can do those to someone who did nothing but to love him.

The nurses and doctor gave her the medical attention that she needed when they arrived at the hospital. The doctor explained to them that her bones didn't break or got sprained. She will just need a few days of rest, an ice pack and painkillers for it.

"She doesn't want to stay in the hospital." Makoto said and he nodded. Since it is his fault, he is the one who paid for the hospital bills.

Once they arrived back home, they carefully laid her stomach flat on the mattress. Yamasho covered her lower body with the blankets to keep her warm and Makoto got a new ice pack to place it on the swollen parts.

Yamasho got the box and started to clean her room. He tied the string to the hooks on the wall and hung the polaroid photos once again. He placed his sweaters and jackets inside her closet. He took something in his pocket and looked at her broken necklace. He searched for it inside the trash can. He didn't care about the students who just watched him. She is more important than everything.

It is supposed to be their movie night date. Why did it become a disaster? He took his bag and got the ripped papers out from it. He made sure that every piece was there. He spent some hours putting it together with the help of scotch tape. Though he can sketch those for her again but knowing that she values every little thing given to her, she will not ask for another copy.

Night came and the twins' parents finally arrived. They learned what happened. He knows that their parents are protective of twins, especially their father but he didn't hear anything from them. They didn't blame him. It is not entirely his fault. He didn't even want it to happen.

"Gomenasai. I failed to protect and take care of her." That's all he said before going back to Fuyu's room. She was already awake when he opened the door.

"Sho.." She called for him. He smiled faintly and sat beside her. He held her hand gently and it was warm.

He is feeling scared that he will lose her because of what happened. He held her hand tighter, hesitating if he would hug her or not. She called for him once more but this time, there's a trace of fear and with that, he started kissing her temples while hugging her gently.

"I can't afford to lose you, Fuyu. Don't leave me, please?" He whispered to her ear. He didn't let her go, thinking that it might be the last time he will be able to hug her like that.
