"That's it!" Kaito stood up, looking to have made up his mind, "Yuzu, you can contact me after you sort all this out. For now, I'll be leaving. I can't take any more of this nonsense."
The man abruptly turned around to leave, not wanting to listen to any more excuses or explanations.
Akira sighed as he raised his voice slightly and spoke up, "The first time we met! We were both young and you were a senior."
Kaito suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"You were quite popular and all the girls were after you. We saw each other around the school but never really talked. One day, you suddenly asked me if you could borrow my lab coat and you seemed to already know my name but that was the first time that I learned who you were. It was as if I had been living under a rock."
"..."
"Asahi didn't like you very much and because of him, I also didn't think we could ever become friends."
