"All of you, no matter what did happen in my life. all of you is the one who always is with me. Sometimes, there was something that I want to face by myself. I say to you that you shouldn't get involved in my problems. But, you didn't agree with it. All of you... still wants to help me."

Ageru put her hand on Hikari. She says to Hikari "Because there was something that you gave us and we can't pay back for it till now. So, by helping you. maybe that can make us feels like we're paying you back for it. I don't know if you already forgot about this. But this is the truth." Hikari didn't think that he helps them a lot until they owe him. There were things that they can't do, So they ask Hikari for that. But Hikari already tells them that he will do all of his best to help everyone and makes everyone happy. Even it was by sacrificing himself. Ageru knows about his promises to Syurihata. It doesn't like Syurihata told him to kill himself or something. But she told Hikari herself that she wants Hikari to live as best as he can. Sacrificing himself is just his own decision. Because he was thinking that way, maybe it will make the world better for everyone that he meet in his life.

Hikari says to Ageru "Dumb, all of you. Dumb. Why are you helping me all this time? I never ask any of you to do that." Akaru goes to Hikari. he asks Hikari "Then, Why are you calling us your friends if we can't help you. even if it's just little things?" Hikari never expects to hear that from them. because they never say something like that before. Hikari also never thinks that they care about him.

Hikari closes his eyes and says to them "If I lost my memories. will all of you help me recover it?" Akaru put his hand on Hikari's shoulder. He says to Hikari "Of course, we will. But, I don't think that will easily happen. Because I know who you are." Hikari was so happy when he heard that. He says to Akaru "Thank you." But that situation ended when Akaru says.

"Even that so, The worst part about you is you never change your heart because of yourself. Even that people told you to find another one."

Hikari was so shocked when he heard that from Akaru. Hikari says to Akaru that it isn't a simple thing to do. Akaru didn't know about the requirements of being the Second One. Not Hikari's Second girlfriend but the person who will replace the True One (Syurihata) as what did they (Hikari and Syurihata) promised.

At that time, There was something on Akaru mind. So he asks Hikari to make sure of it.

"What will The people who have been chosen to become the Second One will get? and why some of the people are willing for it?"

Because Akaru was asking him about it. So he just tells Akaru about it "It's because... The reward of it is. I will do anything for the person who becomes that. Because as what did I promised with Syurihata or The True One is I will do anything that I could for a person who becomes it. as long as it can make that person happy."

Akaru understands it, So he doesn't ask Hikari about it anymore. but suddenly he asks Hikari "But, well. Did you really mean it? I mean that you loved Ayasa." Hikari was so shocked when Akaru asks him that kind of question. He takes a deep breath and says to "If you're asking me about love, I'm not really sure about it. I don't know if my answer for the Second One is correct or not. In my life, I have met a lot of people. But among all of them, there was only one person who makes me shocked. Even we didn't have any connection." Akaru was so weird when he hears that. Because as from what did he sees, Hikari just acting normal as always with the people around him.

Then Hikari says to Akaru "It's useless if you started thinking about it now. Because the answer will never be founded. even Yami didn't know who is it." Hikari walked away and says "That's enough, Let's go straight to the things. Our story, won't go anywhere if we just stay here." Akaru and Ageru agreed with it then they go away. Hikari goes to Aimi and says "Hey, do you have a minute? I have something that I want to talk with you." Since Aimi didn't know what should she do. She just follows Hikari into his room and starts talking about it.

Ageru saw Ayasa were alone, she says to her "Hey, want to have a moment with me too?" Ayasa rejected it because it seems like Ageru was dating Akaru. so they may need some time to spend together. Ayasa didn't tell them anything about it. But suddenly Akaru got a message from Hikari. He read the message and told Ageru that she just needs to be with Ayasa for a time being. Because he and the others have something to do.

He went outside and reply to Hikari.

"Are you sure about the decision that you have been made?"

"Of course, I have my own decision on why I am doing this."

When Akaru read that, he turns off his phone and says to himself " Well, I never see that Hikari was exciting like this before. Maybe I should just hope that he will find it out." Then Akaru goes away from there.

Hikari puts down his phone, he says to Aimi "I hope you don't care about this. But I think that it may take some time. Depends on how long you can hold it. But I need to say that this was an important thing." Aimi understands it. So she just does what did Hikari told her to do.

Hikari locked the door and says to Aimi "Make sure that you know it just between us." Since she saw that Hikari locked the door. She knows that Hikari was serious about it. So she asks Hikari "So, what are you going to do with me?" Hikari takes a deep breath and he explains everything to her.

Neu was getting bored because he doesn't know what should he do. when he was looking around the room, he got a message from Akaru. Akaru says to him.

"Hey, Hikari was busy right now and that same goes for us. So since we know that you're boring. I heard from Hikari that you know how to draw. So if you want, you can get the items that you can use to draw downstairs. I bet that Hikari has an extra of it since he draws a picture with a kid in the kindergarten before."

Neu was so weird when he read that. He says by himself "Kindergarten? who is Hikari for real?" He didn't know what should he say about it. So he just went downstairs to take a look at it. When he found what did he was searching for, suddenly he found a picture. He saw a picture of a flower. At that time, he started thinking about it.

"Is Hikari draw this? But for what did he draw this? I don't think that he loves a flower. Or someone else draws it? Maybe I should try to ask Akaru about it later."

He takes the things that he wants to use and went upstairs. When he was walking upstairs, suddenly he meets with Ageru. Ageru asks him "Wait, where did you know about this? Did Hikari told you about this?" Neu was so weird when he hears that from Ageru. He didn't answer a question from Ageru. But he asks her " Why are you asking me this? I'm not a thief ya know?" Ageru looked left and says "It's none of your business actually. Just go ahead and ignore me. I got something to do." Then Ageru went downstairs. Since Neu didn't really understand about it, He just goes to his room.

When he entered the room, Nimura saw a tool that he was holding. Nimura quickly asks him "So, you're going to draw?" Neu answers it by nodding his head. Then Neu started thinking about what he should draw, while Nimura was waiting for the result. The time he got an idea about it, he quickly draws it. Nimura was so shocked when he saw Neu's reaction when drawing. It seems like he were so serious about it. Nimura looked at how did he draw and it looks like he was a professional on it. So Nimura asks him "Hey, how long have you draw actually? I just wondering about this because we never talked about this."

"It since a primary school. But I don't think that my draw looks cool actually. I think maybe Hikari can do it better than me."

Nimura just keeps quiet since he never compares their skills in drawing before. from what did he know, Hikari is often drawing because he got something else that he needs to do, and with what did he calculate just now maybe Neu can do it better than Hikari. Because it seems like Neu always does it as his hobby. So, maybe day by day Neu improve his skills about it.

Neu saw that Nimura was looking at him when he started drawing. He turned around and says to Nimura "Hey since you also didn't know about what to do. How if you draw a picture too?" Nimura quickly rejects it then he says to Neu that he was bad at it. Neu didn't believe in those words, He gives a sheet and a pen to Nimura and says "How about you try it now? I will not mock you if it was bad. But I will help you to improve it." Since Neu was saying that, Nimura just give it a try.

Neu knows that Nimura maybe will get nervous if he keeps looking at what he will make. So, He goes outside the room to wait for it. When he was outside, He checks up on his phone to know about the news. But when he was looking at it, suddenly he hears Aimi's voice saying "No, Stop it. Hikari. Are you really sure about this?" Then Hikari answers it "No, you do not need to worry about this. This won't give any effect on you. I'm sure of it."

"Well, since you're saying that then. If it can make both of us better on it. Then just do it, Hikari."

Suddenly someone knocks on the door. So Hikari stops by what did he trying to do and opens the door. He saw that Ageru, Ayasa, and Neu were there. He asks them "Why? you have something that you want to ask me?" Ageru goes ahead and says "Of course, What are you going to do with Aimi for real?! Are you going to use this chance to-" Hikari step aside and show them what he going to do in there. Hikari says to Ageru "Actually, I have something that I want to try. I don't if what I was thinking is true or not. But I want to try it."

Ageru was so shocked when she saw it. She blocked Ayasa and Neu's gaze from seeing what was going on there. Ageru asks Hikari "Are you sure that it will succeed?" Hikari nods his head with confidence and tells Ageru why he was believing in it.

"Actually, it was for the first time in my life. I meet someone like her, I mean someone that randomly facing the same fate as me. But the way we're facing our fate is different. It was a miracle for me."

Ageru didn't ask Hikari any further about it, So he says to Hikari "Then I hope it will succeed." Ageru closes the door quickly and says to Neu "There was nothing to be worried about. Please don't disturb them for the time being because well... Just don't disturb them. By the way, where is Nimura?" Neu tells them that Nimura was inside their room, drawing something. Maybe they shouldn't make up a mess with him because he needs to focus on it. Ageru was so shocked when she heard that. She quickly goes to Nimura to look at the result.

Neu tries to stop Ageru but it seems like he were too late for it, Ageru opens the door and asks Nimura "Hey, can I take a look at it." When Nimura saw Ageru was there, He quickly hides his art from them and says "You do not need to look on it, I'm really bad at this kind of thing. It's kinda embarrassing ya know?" Ageru doesn't think that it was bad because from what did she know, Neu and Hikari were great at drawing so maybe Nimura same as them. Nimura keeps telling Ageru that it was bad. Even with that, Ageru says to Nimura that she still wants to see it.

Nimura didn't want to make a rude on there. So he just shows it to them
