Chapter 10 : Consequence

The aftermath of the explosion is devastating. The exhibition venue is in ruins, and many people are injured. Kazuo is rushed to a healer, but his injuries are severe. Despite the best efforts of the healer, Kazuo's condition worsens.

Yuki stays by Kazuo's side, her heart heavy with sorrow. She can see the pain in his eyes, but she also sees the love and determination that have always defined him. Kazuo, though weak, tries to comfort her, knowing that his time is running out.

As the days pass, Kazuo's condition continues to deteriorate. He knows that he does not have much time left, and he begins to prepare for the end. He spends his remaining days with Yuki, reminiscing about their time together and the love they share.

One evening, as they sit beneath the cherry blossoms in Ueno Park, Kazuo takes Yuki's hand in his. "Yuki," he says softly, his voice filled with love, "you have brought so much joy and light into my life. I am grateful for every moment we've shared."

Tears fill Yuki's eyes as she looks at him. "And I am grateful for you, Kazuo. You have shown me what true love and honor mean."

As the sun sets, Kazuo feels a sense of peace wash over him. He knows that his time is near, but he is not afraid. He is surrounded by the beauty of the cherry blossoms, the same blossoms that witnessed his grandparents' love. With Yuki by his side, he closes his eyes and takes his final breath.
