(POV: Shuichi)

*sigh* The killing game has ended, -finally- and I don't have to go through the dreadful despair any longer. However ... I have lost many friends of mine along the way. It still upsets me to this day, knowing that I can't; Listen to Kaede's piano playing, know that Kaito is there to comfort me. But most importantly, listen to Kokichi's exciteful voice anymore... I've admitted this to Maki and Himiko before, and they questioned what I saw in Ouma-Kun. I didn't feel too confident anymore, but I just mentioned, "He... He makes me laugh...". They still had a confused look on they're faces, and Maki grew a slight look of disgust too. But, no matter what the others think of it, I will always remember Kokichi - And I will always keep his scarf on me ... Although... I wonder what Kaede and/or Kaito would think, would they be proud? Or concerned for me..? I-I'm sure they'd understand! And I'm sure they'd encourage me! Kaede was always there to help me if I ever felt uncomfortable for any reason. Kaito was always there to lend me strength and confidence, he was always so accepting of me and would never betray anyone close to him. Now that I've thought about this deeper, I feel more relaxed.

I sometimes get quite worried, as later on in the day while I'm trying to sleep, it feels like Kokichi is wrapping his arms round me... And just to add to it, I even hear calming whispers that sound like him. He tells me he loves me very much, but then- He obviously states it's a lie. To this day, I'm still unsure whether he loved me or no. It's a question that I've had for a long time now. But- unfortunately... It will never be answered. Because Ouma-Kun is gone now, and I will never see him again... The only time I manage to speak to him nowadays is inside my nightmares. So no, I wouldn't say it's the most positive thing. But, I should still be grateful that I eventually get the chance to hear him again, after all that despairful chaos we've been through. Well actually, I suppose it's not the only way I can talk to him. I sometimes pray to him, hoping he's listening. (Whether it be from above or below) But I didn't mention this before as it takes a while for the prayer to convince him to respond. Or maybe the time is different for him? Ah, I'm... So very sorry, am I confusing you? Sorry, sorry..! I honestly think I'm getting unhealthy because of these memories... It scares me, but... On the other hand, I should be thankful that I got to meet Kokichi in the first place. He always used to brighten my day, and his smile but force me to smile along with him. I-... I just want to see him smile again..!!!!! ... Please, ignore me...
