[tutor] Farewell

Tsunayoshi Sawada's words made me feel like I fell into an ice cellar for a moment, all the joy was extinguished, and the words were stuck in my throat but I couldn't speak them out for a long time.

I felt like I was about to cry, but my face was dry and tearless.

The man hung up the phone directly after saying this, and didn't leave me any right to ask questions.That call was like a cruel dream, and by the time I woke up I wasn't even sure if it was real.

Staring blankly at the phone for a long time, I couldn't imagine what kind of expression I should use to face this love that ended without a disease.

Sawada Tsunayoshi didn't even give me a reason, and unilaterally cut off the communication between the two of them.I always felt that I was singing a one-man show by myself from the beginning to the end, and the gentle brown-haired man just quietly accompanied me or looked at me.

I just looked at the column of less than ten seconds on the call log, and felt as if I was blocked by a stone.

The sky outside turned from night to dawn, and when I finally realized it, I hadn't closed my eyes all night.I packed my things sluggishly, and I even forgot to change my shoes when I went out with the painting box.

Looking at the house slippers on my feet, I was stunned for a long time before suddenly crying.Standing at the door of my apartment sobbing and sad, only my crying echoed in the empty corridor.

Opening the door of the studio with red and swollen eyes, Lily was already sitting there waiting for me.Her blond hair was brilliantly smudged by the sun, and she sat quietly in front of the easel, smearing shadows with a pencil.

"Li...Lily..." I moved my lips softly, but I couldn't make any decent sound.The hoarse voice seemed a bit abrupt in the studio, Lily turned her head and saw my messed up lovelorn.

——or, in other words, it’s not even a lovelorn.

"My God! What's wrong with you, An An?!" Lily put down the pencil in her hand, ran to my side with her eyes wide open, "Are you all right? Did something go wrong? Or is there another reason?"

As she asked, she took out a wet tissue from her bag and applied it to my swollen eye sockets, "Hurry up and apply it, my eyes are swollen like this, how can I see the professor later?"

"..." I took the wet tissue she forced into my hand, lowered my eyes, and finally said, "Lily...Mr. Sawada said..."

"Mr. Sawada...?" She didn't seem to understand the reason why I mentioned him at this moment, Lily's blue eyes were full of doubts, "What's wrong with him?"

"Oh yes, the turmoil that day!" Lily suddenly realized something, "How is it? Did he contact you? Or didn't he?"

"He..." I moved my mouth with difficulty, not knowing what to say.

"Didn't get in touch..." Lily looked a little regretful, and then patted my head, "Don't worry, I'll be fine, there's no definite news yet, so there's no need to cry like this."

"No..." I bit my lower lip, then closed my eyes and said, "He... contacted me..."

"He said..." I took a deep breath, and the words I spit out were nasal and crying, "He said... told me not to contact him in the future..."

There was a moment of silence in the studio, and the bag Lily was holding fell to the ground with a "click", as if she didn't believe what I said.

"Don't... contact...?" Lily repeated dumbly, and then suddenly became excited, "What's wrong with not contacting?!"

"What did Sawada Tsunayoshi think of you? If you say contact, then contact, and if you say no, then don't?! You were so worried about him before, but in the end, you just say don't contact him?!"

Lily felt sorry for me because of Sawada Tsunayoshi's words of "don't contact me". Seeing her frowning and being angry for me, my eyes suddenly got wet.

Sitting in the studio for a whole day, no matter what to do, I am not in the mood.Lily rubbed my head, and then helped me to ask the professor for leave. The red and swollen eye sockets are not very visible, so I just nestled in the studio like a snail for a whole day.

It was almost five o'clock in the evening when I left school with Lily. The blond woman smiled and said that she was recovering well. Ran Ran was making soup for her every day, but suddenly her eyes widened the next second. Pulled me back from the road in the street.

But for a split second, I saw a car speeding past where I was just standing.The black car with no sign of braking seemed to be intentional. If Lily hadn't reacted quickly enough, I even felt that I had been hit by the vehicle.

I patted my chest with lingering fear, and I looked at Lily in a relaxed manner, while she stared at the direction of the vehicle leaving, and angrily scolded the other party for not knowing how to drive slowly.

Probably a dangerous episode on the way home, I shook my head and opened the door of the apartment, which smelled of gouache and drawing paper.

When I took off my shoes, I caught a glimpse of the umbrella stand on one side, and the transparent umbrella was still hanging there safely, waiting for me to use it on the next rainy day.

With a wry smile, I pulled out my phone and sent a text message to Tsunayoshi Sawada.Although the brown-haired man told me not to contact him as much as possible, I still hoped to get his reply by chance.

As I expected, Tsunayoshi Sawada did not respond to my messages in a timely manner as usual.Bored lying on the table and texting him one after another, I took all the things I encountered today, good and bad, and edited them into texts and sent them to him as interesting things.

——Like an idiot.

A sudden vibration came from my hand, and I looked at the phone in shock, somewhat unbelievable that Tsunayoshi Sawada had replied.

[I heard that the public security in Rome is not good recently, Miss Xu, please be careful. 】

There was only such a short sentence in his text message.

Thinking about what I had sent before to get such a response from him, I opened the previous outbox, and only then did I realize that I told him that I was almost hit by a car on the way back.

An inexplicable feeling of joy welled up in my heart, even though the brown-haired man said not to contact him, he would still give you meticulous care in every detail.

I think there must be some misunderstanding in the reason why he said that. The Tsunayoshi Sawada I know is by no means the kind of person who tells others to cut off contact without any reason.

With the first attempt to contact, the subsequent contact became much smoother.

Although Sawada Tsunayoshi still only replied to one of my text messages five or six times, I am already very satisfied with this frequency.Most of the calls to him every day are not answered, but he can always get lucky one or two times a week and be answered by him.

His voice seemed helpless and sighed, and I was always the only one on the phone between the two talking about the things that happened to me recently.

Lily said more than once that my behavior like this was too cheap, but I could only scratch my cheek and say there was nothing I could do.

Yes, there is no way.

Because I like him, I am willing to go after him like this.

I don't know if it's my illusion or what, from the feeling that the nearest Rome is just like Sawada Tsunayoshi said, it has become dangerous in every way.

Obviously, I haven't encountered any particularly bad things during my two years of studying here, but since he told me to be careful, I always encounter various things.

For example, when you go to the supermarket with Lily to buy dinner materials, you will encounter a robbery, or you will be stopped and blackmailed while taking the bus.

Things like this happened endlessly, and I finally realized clearly that the specialty of Italy is indeed the Mafia.

The most dangerous time was when I was robbed when I was walking alone at night. I happened to have dinner from Lisa Coffee that day, and went to watch a movie alone on a whim.

It was past eleven o'clock when the film ended, and Tsunayoshi Sawada and I sent a text message saying that we had just finished watching the film and were about to go back, but there was a robbery in the alley of the street.

At that time, I even felt that my heartbeat was about to stop, and the sharp dagger was slashed in front of me, but someone stopped it in the next instant.

Sawada Tsunayoshi appeared in front of me so unexpectedly, and the reliable back made me almost cry.

"Don't go out at night next time." When Tsunayoshi Sawada said this to me, he frowned, as if he was dissatisfied with my late return.

"Why did Mr. Sawada..." I looked at the man subdued by him, and then at Tsunayoshi Sawada's dim face in the night, and suddenly felt that something was taking root.

Sawada Tsunayoshi's eyes slowly became helpless and gentle. He sighed, reached out and stroked my cheek that was lightly scratched by the dagger before, and wiped away the blood that oozed from it. "I happen to be doing something nearby. , I felt uneasy when I saw Miss Xu's text message, so I came here and wandered around, but I didn't expect to be in danger."

"Sorry...for making you worry..." I lowered my head in embarrassment, the warmth of his fingertips still remained on my face.

The man in front of me didn't say anything, just sent me back to the apartment in silence. His figure stood out from downstairs, but I always felt that something was wrong.

He seemed to be hiding something from me, but I couldn't grasp the source of these lines.I don't know if he noticed my gaze, but when Tsunayoshi Sawada raised his head, it happened to meet my gaze when I turned my head to look at him on the stairs.

He showed a gentle arc to me, and then said to the mouth——

"Good night."

Kidnapping

The early winter of November made people feel a little cold, I took a breath to warm my hands, and took a paintbrush to draw a little bit of gouache painting.

I was the only one in the whole studio dawdling, washing off the ultramarine blue that was just stained, and I picked out some lemon yellow and mixed it into the original paint to brighten it.

The sky outside has turned dark, and Lily has no classes today.I yawned and finished the gouache painting in my hand, thinking that it would be better not to go back too late.

It has been almost half a month since Sawada Tsunayoshi accidentally rescued me last time.During the period, I still had some contact with him occasionally, but it was obvious that the brown-haired young man was no longer as gentle and patient as he used to reply to every contact I had.

He is using actions to tell me what he said at the beginning - try not to contact him.

After washing all the small buckets and brushes, I packed up the painting box and put it in a corner of the studio.

It was already dark outside, and I walked back to the apartment on as many streets as possible with street lights.The hungry stomach reminded me that I was hungry all the time, thinking that there was no food in the refrigerator at home, so I simply took a detour and planned to go to Lily's house for a quick meal.

I don't know why the originally popular street is empty at the moment. It's only past six o'clock, but the whole street is so quiet that it feels scary.

I pulled the jacket on my body and quickened the pace of walking.You can walk through this street and turn a corner to Lily's apartment. As long as you pay attention, there will be no problem.

I was thinking this way one second, and the next second I was knocked unconscious from the back of my neck with a knife hand.

……

I always felt that I could vaguely hear someone talking, and three or two people walked around me, and then tied my hands and feet.

There was a voice that seemed to be directing something, and then the voices of several people became farther and farther away, and finally only a certain heavy lock sound remained.

I opened my eyelids with some difficulty, the scene in front of me made me at a loss.The large empty warehouse was filled with sacks filled with mud or sand.

The enclosed space seemed to be filled with dust, and in the dark warehouse, only light came in from a small window with iron bars.The warehouse door pulled down by the roller shutter was tightly locked, and the warehouse in winter was bitingly cold.

My hands and feet were tightly bound with hemp rope. I don't know what the situation is now.

My mind was so chaotic that I couldn't even figure out who I had offended to make the other party hate me to the point of kidnapping me.

Someone seemed to be walking outside, and the voice was deliberately lowered so that I couldn't hear it clearly.I fell weakly on the cold concrete floor, trying to break free from the hemp rope that bound my wrist tightly.

"Squeak-"

The iron shutter was pulled up little by little, and the dazzling sunlight shone in from the warehouse door.I saw three burly men walk in, their black suits and sunglasses made people tremble a little.

The other party picked me up from the ground like an eagle picking up a chick. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a man holding a dagger in his hand.

I was startled suddenly, and before I had time to react, the man slashed between my hands fiercely.

……

There was no pain or any other feeling as I expected. I moved my hands carefully, and the hemp rope that was tightly bound fell off loosely.

……

what happened?

"Eat it." The man threw the poor wholemeal bread on the ground with a bad attitude, then let go of his hand suddenly, and threw me to the ground with him.The man next to him seemed to be dissatisfied with his actions just now, frowning, tapped his elbow lightly, and whispered something.

"If you don't tell it, how will the boss know what I did to her?" The man who threw me on the ground gave the man a vicious look, and then kicked the whole wheat bread in front of me, "Hmph, you'd better Be honest."

Don't know what happened, don't know why it's here.

I wanted to question why the other party kidnapped me, but the pistol and dagger in the man's hand terrified me.

Fearing that he would be killed if he accidentally said something wrong, his whole body trembled unconsciously.

The men left the warehouse after throwing down the food, and the iron curtains that were slowly rolled down blocked all the sunlight outside.

I thought I should have desperately tried to escape just now, but the tight hemp rope on my feet prevented me from striding forward.

Biting my lower lip, I tried my best to untie the ropes on my feet, but my nails were covered with dust.

Suddenly remembering that my mobile phone should still be in my pocket, I immediately opened the pocket of my coat, but there was nothing inside.

……

Also.

If someone is kidnapped, he will leave your cell phone with you.

Sitting in the corner of the warehouse, eating cheap bread, I don't even know how long I'm going to be locked up here.

It will probably be sold somewhere, or it may be sent to do research on human experiments...

I heard that the Italian mafia often does this kind of black and illegal transactions. Maybe I am a test product that was unfortunately caught.

The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became. I swallowed the last bit of bread in my hand, took off my running shoes, and tried to loosen the hemp rope from my ankle.

The voices of other people can always be vaguely heard outside, and the number of people seems to be quite a few.I don't know what on earth I can do, I want to run away but I'm afraid I'll die if I'm found.

I was full of fear and anxiety. I had heard that Sicily, Italy was not peaceful, but I didn't expect that even here in Rome, there would be such a kidnapping incident.

I have always felt that I should be a brave person, but it was only at this moment that I realized that I was too timid and cowardly.Tears kept sliding down my cheeks, and I saw my feet trembling uncontrollably, but I couldn't stop the trembling all over my body.

may die here...

Maybe die on the operating table of human trials...

Or even more terrifying...it will make your life worse than death, and make it into a human pillar as a novelty-hunting artwork...

I have seen news like this in domestic newspapers and media more than once. At that time, I still felt that these things were too far away from me, but the situation I am encountering now is likely to be the next case of disappearance.

so afraid……

I want to cry……

I still... don't want to die...

Sobbing softly, a small window in the warehouse shone some light on the concrete floor.

I squatted in the corner in despair, not daring to escape and confront them head-on, nor did I want to just sit there and face the terrible things that might happen to me later.

In the movies and novels I have seen before, the heroine is obviously brave and strong when encountering such things. Why did everything become timid and fearful when it came to me?

He didn't dare to fight to the death, and would rather hug his knees and cry in the warehouse than try hard to find a way to escape.

All the fear and terror surrounded me and attacked me. I think I must not be a strong person, so I cried so hard at this time.

"boom--"

A sudden explosion came from the warehouse, and I widened my eyes, not knowing what was happening outside at this moment.

The sound of many people running came from outside, followed by someone's orders and yelling.

I hugged myself tightly, and my instinct told me that there was something terrible happening outside.The locked warehouse door told me that there was no possibility of escaping. I covered my ears and cried, not wanting to listen to these terrible voices outside.

Is this world really the world I know?

Shouldn't it be pure and beautiful, full of caring for people?

Why...there are such...gunshots, screams, and...explosions...

The chaotic sound was getting closer and closer, and I could hear the noise of people and the sound of gunfire coming straight towards me.

Covering my ears couldn't block these terrible sounds, I shook my head vigorously trying to shake everything off.

Biting my lower lip hard, I didn't even dare to let out a little sobbing sound.

I always feel that if I make any sound, being heard by others is a dead end.The chaotic sound outside was accompanied by the screams of many people who were injured. If a person like me wants to take advantage of the chaos to escape now, he must have been shot by random guns before he escaped.

"Boom-boom-"

Two bullets fired right in front of the warehouse where I was. I stared nervously at the iron curtain of the warehouse, fearing that if the only barrier was broken, I would be sucked into the chaotic world outside.

I stared at the door of the warehouse, not daring to take a breath.I held the hem of the coat tightly with both hands, and the trembling and fear I couldn't help suppressed me.

"boom--"

The sound of the explosion and the heat wave all swept over my body, and the golden-red light in front of me dissipated little by little, and then I saw a person standing in the air against the light.

The brown hair fluttered with the heat wave that just exploded, and there was a deep brown in the eyes of Sawada Tsunayoshi and some emotions that I couldn't understand.

There are some small scratches on his face, and the black suit on his body has become tattered.He just looked at me against the light, frowning without saying a word.

Kokichi Sawada……

Obviously I should be happy, but why can't I catch a little bit of arc at this moment?

Why did this brown-haired youth appear here, why did he appear in this mafia chaos, why did he look nothing like a white-collar manager of a company...

Why...the person I like...becomes so strange at this moment...?

frank

Sawada Tsunayoshi walked towards me step by step, every step seemed to step on my heart.

The black leather shoes made a sound of kicking on the concrete floor, and all the gunshots and explosions outside seemed to become silent movies.

I saw the warehouse door behind him, with gunpowder filled with gunpowder and invisible bullet trails flying, but at this moment, my eyes could only be locked on the brown-haired man, and I couldn't move away.

"Sawada...sir..."

I barely opened my mouth, and the hoarse voice didn't sound like mine at all.

"Sorry, Miss Xu."

He lowered his eyes, and there was still a dark golden depth in those brown eyes.

Sawada Tsunayoshi picked me up from the ground, the warm body temperature should make my heart beat, but I don't know why my mind is full of strangeness.

I don't know why he apologized to me, and I don't know why he is here.Sawada Tsunayoshi hugged me and flew into the air. The height in the air made everything feel like a dream.

If only everything was a dream.

Being held in the arms of Princess Tsunayoshi Sawada, there were a few small scratches on his profile.Tiny drops of blood oozed out little by little, and the brown hair streaked across his eyes.

These calm and deep eyes without the slightest wave, once filled with a warm brown smile, are as warm as the afternoon sun, but at this moment I can only feel the coldness in them.

Sawada Tsunayoshi hugged me and jumped into the air, dodging the bullets that were constantly shooting up from below.He frowned and looked at the people below, as if he was searching for something, and also seemed to be thinking about something.

Suddenly, I heard him snort, his originally stern face turned pale, and a little bit of cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

Trembling, I moved my gaze down, only then did I see that the side of my light-colored coat had been smeared with red blood.Blood gushed out from the wound on Tsunayoshi Sawada's waist. The black coat made the blood stains unclear, but the light coat on my body was covered with his blood.

"Mr. Sawada..." I felt like my voice was about to cry, "You're bleeding..."

"Ah, I know." He lowered his head and gave me a relieved smile, "I didn't pay attention just now, I accidentally hurt it."

Can this kind of thing be perfunctorily brought over with a single sentence...?

I always felt as if something had slipped from the eye sockets, and the misty eyes blurred the profile of Sawada Tsunayoshi.I couldn't see his expression, only the arms that hugged me tightly told me that his master was still here.

The person I like does not seem to be a simple white-collar worker in the company, and I have finally fully recognized this point.

All the voices became buzzing in my mind like tinnitus, I held on to the lapel of Tsunayoshi Sawada tightly, and I couldn't think about anything else.

He carried me away from the warehouse area, and it took a long time before I felt myself being gently put down by him.

The building in front of me was the tall building he had given me his business card. Tsunayoshi Sawada took my left hand and walked inside.

"BOSS?!" The welcoming lady at the front desk showed extremely surprised eyes, and called me a name that was too unfamiliar to me.

"I'm fine." Sawada Tsunayoshi smiled at the woman, and then led me all the way to the inside of the elevator.

Watching the red numbers on the elevator jump to the top floor, I was dumbfounded and didn't know what to do.Being dragged into a certain room by Sawada Tsunakichi, the layout of the office made me a little restrained.

He dug out the medicine box from the bottom drawer of the desk and put it in front of me, "Miss Xu, apply some ointment, there are marks on her hands and feet."

"Compared to this..." I stared blankly at the wound on his waist, and opened my mouth, "Your wound..."

Trembling, I stretched out my hand to cover his waist, and I could feel some warm liquid staining my hand.It was a vivid red like I had never seen before, more real and more terrifying than any paint.

Sawada Tsunayoshi smiled comfortingly, and put his broad palm on mine.His right hand wrapped tightly around the back of my hand, and as time passed, he finally gently removed my hand from my waist.

"It's okay." He said.

"How could it be okay!!!" My voice was stained with tears, and the red blood stains on my coat were so shocking that I couldn't even imagine how deep his wound was.

Probably because I didn't expect such an excited reaction from me, Tsunayoshi Sawada was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly, opened the medicine box and bandaged himself.

The suit and shirt of the jacket were all glued to his skin, and I could hear Tsunayoshi Sawada making a "hiss—" cold sob when he pulled the clothes off.

He turned his head and gave me a gentle smile, signaling that I don't have to worry about anything.The wound on the side of the waist that had solidified opened again because of his slightly violent actions, and the bloody side of the waist made my eye sockets moist.

He lowered his head and applied medicine to the wound little by little, then wrapped his waist tightly with a white bandage.I just sat next to him and watched as he worked through that horrible wound without being able to help at all.

Sawada Tsunayoshi cut the bandage with scissors and tied a small knot.His movements seem to be very skilled, but being so proficient in this kind of thing is not a good thing no matter how you look at it.

"Miss Xu," he put away the bandages and medicine in his hand, and put on a clean white shirt, "I'm sorry to have surprised you."

"No...I..." Shaking my head, I tried my best to calm down.

"But," Tsunayoshi Sawada's words interrupted my words, he closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the brown pupils were full of deep colors, "I think I need to confess something to you."

"What... something..." I didn't dare to look directly into his complicated eyes, and looked down at my tightly clenched hands. I always felt that his next words would break all my preconceptions. .

"Really, I'm very sorry..." His voice was cold and helpless, with some inexplicable regret and distress, "About... the fact that I have been using you all this time."

"Wait...wait..." My mind froze instantly, and I even felt that I had some auditory hallucinations, "Using something..."

Just kidding...

"Sorry," he said, "I'm actually the boss of the Mafia, and I lied to you as the company manager."

"No...!" As if wanting to prove something, I hurriedly grabbed his shirt cuff, "Using something... Mr. Sawada didn't lie to me, did he!"

"At first you said it was the mafia! It's just that I didn't believe it myself!"

not like this……

Using something...it must be fake...

"In the beginning, I promised Miss Xu to help you find your cousin because the chaos in Verona involved a friend of mine." He removed my hand from the cuff, his eyes filled with apology.

"Then... contact me in Rome... and say you want to visit our school...?" I looked at him with wide eyes, unable to believe every word Sawada Tsunayoshi said.

"Yes." He nodded, his voice should have been clean and clear, but now I heard nothing but apology and guilt, "Because Miss Xu's school has news that I need, so in order not to attract people Eyes and ears, I used you as an excuse."

……

"But...!" Tears rolled down from my eyes, I grabbed the hem of my clothes tightly, and cried, "The next few times... I obviously came out to meet every week... Could it be...?!"

"...Sorry." Tsunayoshi Sawada was silent for a long time, and finally just gave me an apology.

"The other day, Mr. Sawada told me to try not to contact me in the future. Is it because I am no longer useful...?" My heart seemed to be broken, and the debris on the ground pricked people to bleed.I tried my best to smile at him, but the curvature of the corners of my mouth couldn't be stretched at all.

"...About that incident," Tsunayoshi Sawada lowered his eyes, then frowned slightly, "Actually, on the day you didn't come, I was ambushed and attacked at the agreed place."

ambush……?

Attack...?

So... are you doubting...?

"So, after that, I suspected that you were the one who released false information in school." Tsunayoshi Sawada's words made my heart ache like needles. I never knew that a word from others could make me hurt to the point of dying.

"However, Ms. Xu encountered many dangerous incidents afterwards, which made me give up this guess." Tsunayoshi Sawada said so, then fell silent for a while, and said, "I think...the other party should have used Ms. Xu as a bait."

"Lure... bait...?"

Why can't I understand what you're saying?

Why have I been taken advantage of so many times and still be suspected when I just want to like someone?

It's all...why?

"Yes, the bait." Sawada Tsunayoshi sighed, "I didn't realize it at first, but after I saved Miss Xu in the alley, I was attacked nearby."

"It should be the same situation this time." His voice was very calm, as if he was just analyzing something to me. "The other party wanted to lure me out, so he deliberately kidnapped Ms. Xu as a bait."

That is to say... all the dangers and fears I have experienced... are all because of you?

Is it all because... you who took advantage of me...?

"So, for the safety of both of us," Tsunayoshi Sawada closed his eyes, and then said heavily, "Miss Xu, let's not have any contact in the future."

In other words... do you mean goodbye...?

I miss you

Sawada Tsunayoshi's words were tinged with guilt, his slightly frowned brows and apologetic expression made me feel like my blood was congealed.

I can't imagine that there are so many exploits and conspiracies hidden under those gentle smiles and the remaining warm sun. I would rather believe that the Tsunayoshi Sawada I know is a pure and beautiful young man.

But the facts tell me he's not.

He's a mafia boss, and he's sitting next to me, confessing everything.

All things have plans, and all actions have meaning.I used to think I was very close to him, but now I finally understand that he has always rejected me.

There was exploitation and exploration hidden in every meeting between us, and Tsunayoshi Sawada never treated those meetings as dates.I was the only one who foolishly chose the skirt, paying attention to my appearance, for fear of leaving a bad impression on him.

His apologetic expression at this moment is like a sharp knife cutting into my heart. I would rather he say "Sorry, I don't like you" than "I'm sorry, I'm using you" .

Heh, just because the Rome Academy of Art has the information that Tsunayoshi Sawada needs, so he used me as a breakthrough point to investigate step by step.

This kind of man...is terrible.

Tears were falling drop by drop, I thought Tsunayoshi Sawada would hand me a clean handkerchief like we did when we first met.But in fact he just sat next to me without saying a word, and the sag of the sofa caused my tears to slide into the sag.

I don't know how I got out of that office, and I don't know how I got back to the apartment. I just feel that everything has become outrageous, and there is a cruel reality hidden under the beautiful illusion.

I always feel that I should hate him, but I can't forget his worried face and warm brown eyes when I first met him.

He is obviously such a warm person, but he is the one who takes full advantage of my liking.

--So sad.

I hugged my knees and curled up in a corner of the sofa, and the rain began to fall outside the window.The sound of the dripping rain seemed to wash away the streets of Rome, and rain fell from the slightly open window.

The light rain wetted the transparent window, and the seeping rain drenched the gouache painting I threw over there bit by bit.

I never thought that one day I would be so sad because of a man that I couldn’t even cry. His gentle and worried face seemed to be still in front of my eyes when I first met him, but in the blink of an eye, all I could see was him. All frankly exploited.

The air in the apartment became humid with the rain, and the chest felt uncomfortable, as if it might collapse at any time.
