After the performance

Arima Kousei stood up with a sorrow expression on his face while he looked up at the spotlight one more time. Everyone was still shook by the beautiful performance and all they could do is sit there and wait. Kousei walked back to the hall and right when he was about to walk through the door the crowd went wild! They have never heard of anything with such beauty. Watari screamed "He's my bestfriend!" proudfully and shamelessly while Tsubaki had tears falling off her eyes with the brighest smile on her face. This made Kousei all-the-more sad and he stood there without a hint of movement. Two drops of tear fell down to the hard floor while he stood there like a little kid. Kaori, the colors in his life, was gone. Footsteps closed in as Seto-san and Koharu came to hug him warmly. Kousei wiped his tears off quickly and smiled to them. Koharu was crying and hugging Kousei by his foot while Seto-san hugged him tightly with a sorrow expression, similar to his. A long time has passed and Kousei asked Seto-san a simple question: "Did it reach her?". She finally released Kousei and looked straight in his eyes and said: "Not only did it reach her, it reached to everyone who was listening to your piece." All Kousei could do now was weep in her arms.
