Resignation

Nagi decided to leave so as not to be too much. Sitting in the said restaurant, Murata patiently waited for Chizuko to arrive. A few minutes later, she showed up. Not letting anything show, she asked him to follow her outside, which Murata did even though he didn't understand what the reason was.

She had seen the few scratches on murata's face but didn't say a word about it.

In a corner out of sight, Chizuko in front of Murata didn't take her eyes off him, she didn't seem enchanted. Murata asked him the question to find out what was wrong

- Is there a problem ?

- Yes there is one

She replied to the second, she later added

- What made you hit Izumi? Why did you do that?

- how do you...

She cut him off saying "the question is not how I found out about this."

Murata smiled bitterly and said

- He deserved it. And you? Aren't you tired of chasing this idiot? What will you gain in the end? Will you still end up shedding tears for a guy who doesn't give a damn about you, all in the name of love? You speak. It is only you who still has love to give, face reality, your story is over.

At his words Chizuko slapped him

- You don't know anything about it so you don't have a say. There's no point in staying with me, I'll be better off without you

- Hearing me say that hurt you so much? Is this pain comparable to all the atrocities that this guy threw at you? But you had to let it slide because it's him.

- yes it is not the same

And you hurt him

- He was lucky that the police arrived

- Can you hear yourself talking?

- I am far from being blinded by excessive love

She screamed his name "MURATA"

He says to himself internally * I will destroy you to rebuild you better. I should have done this from the start. You need to open your eyes and stop suffering like this*

- stop talking stupid things

Murata looked at her calmly before starting off.

- He doesn't love you

He doesn't love you anymore, it's not by opposing yourself that you will change anything in your situation. Can we really blame it on love? When you become attached to the wrong person, it is obvious that you will end up broken. However, we don't really know everyone's intentions, but you won't tell me that it went unnoticed, you probably noticed a change but since you love it, you played blind.

- Shut up !

- Loved is everything given but it also means knowing how to resign yourself. In love there are two people, it cannot be otherwise and you want to continue giving your love to a person who has already turned their back on you? He's moving forward and you're standing still, he's happy and living his best life without you and you're hanging on. You gave him love but he didn't even give you a third of it back. You made an effort but he didn't give anything and you...

- that's enough

- Are you making a fool of yourself in front of such a person, don't you have any pride or what?

She covered her ears with her hands. She knew all this but had difficulty accepting it. Murata grabbed her wrists and pulled her hands away. She lowered her head while in tears. He lifted her slightly and stuck his frond to hers

- You have the right to be sad, so cry. We cannot control our hearts. It is not time that heals but the fact of accepting what pains us and knowing how to live with it. Only you can get out of this abyss. You are strong chizuko, I believe in you

Chizuko was touched by murata's attention to the depths of her being. He had told her everything point blank without mincing his words. It was like spades for chizuko. In the end he said encouraging words to her; She clung to him and emptied herself

Nagi had witnessed the scene. He had to come back because he had his work plan in a USB key to give to murata. He had carried it around with him all day. This is not the right time to intrude and leave that for next time
