Hands stained with Red Lillies Part - 3

"Look at me when I'm talking." My tone was harsher than usual.

"Did Kizhashi-san ever blamed you?"

"She…" He tried to say something but I knew it wasn't relevant to what I asked him.

"Did she blame you?" I again asked in a bit harsher tone as I put the can of choco milk on the side and stood up. He didn't bother responding to my question again.

I walked in front of him, grabbing a hold of his collar, I lifted him and slammed his back against the bench. 

"Did she?" I asked, staring into his dark eyelids, which were looking right at me.

"N..No." He answered in a rather low tone.

"Then why do you blame yourself?" I asked.

"Because the last time she told me what Uyeno did to her, I couldn't help but blame myself." I knew exactly what he was talking about, but he didn't know of the fact that I was well aware of what happened with her.
