Chapter 9
"Though you're quite flippant to say it at these times, to listen to the words from your heart are wonderful"—Inaba said. Then she clumsily wiped off my tears. "Sorry, Taichi!" Kiriyama, at my side, fell on the floor crying. "Sorry, you're in pain. Sorry, you're in pain. Sorry, you're in pain..." She continuously repeated that. "It doesn't matter...Kiriyama, didn't you want me to wake up? Besides...your hands and your heart also hurts...I should be one to say sorry...Thank you." "There's only one thing...I hope you could understand...If you...die, then we'll suffer from a pain that would be tens and hundreds of what we suffered just now...! So...So please don't say that!" "You don't need to say this now as he had understood..." Inaba murmured beside Kiriyama. Taichi deeply felt the gentleness of everyone; and at the same time he understood how selfish he was before. In theory his actions are plainly helping others, but sometimes his actions aren't. If there were not the 'personality exchange', maybe I would have never faced this side of myself. I knew a bit more of myself. And I knew a lot more of the people around.
