"He's not looking well at all, is he?" Aiba whispered to Sakurai as he watched Matsumoto gently coaxing Satoshi into eating. Even from the distance, they could still hear Satoshi's now-weak voice softly mumbling "... we'll meet again..."

Sakurai sighed. "Of course not. Ninomiya-kun's suddenly leaving like that... It must've been a..." he began but paused, unable to find the right word that would match the despair he imagined Satoshi was suffering. "Well, it must be traumatizing, considering how close they are."

"Isn't there anything we can do?" Aiba questioned desperately, looking at Sho directly in the eyes with a seriousness that Sakurai has never seen or imagined possible before, "For either of them?" He could already guess the answer but didn't want to hear it nor did he want to believe it. Still he thought maybe, just maybe, there was still hope.

"I think not, unfortunately," Sho reluctantly answered, and Aiba's heart sank. "The bond between those two... it's not something that we can do anything about just because we 'want' to. It's something special that no one else can ever touch, not even us, and... Hey! Don't look at me like that! I don't like this any better than you do!" Sho raised his voice angrily when he saw that Aiba was glaring at him as if he had just crushed all hope in the world.

Jun turned around at the sudden outburst to see the two scowling at each other and frowned disapprovingly, the spoonful of food stopping in midair in front of Satoshi's emotionless face.

Sho saw the frown from the corner of his eye and heeded Jun's warning to not show anything unpleasant in front of the already wounded man. He began again in a hushed voice.

"Look. All I'm saying here is that there is nothing we can do that will snap Riida back to reality. We need to get Ninomiya-san back here soon; Riida won't last must longer. Literally."

"But we can't even get in contact with Kazu. And his manager and Johnny-san won't tell us anything," Jun reminded them. He had given up on trying to feed Satoshi for the time being and instead had made him lie down on the bed, and is now standing next to the two conversing men. "What if Kazu isn't planning on coming back? What if he had only told Riida that they'd meet again so he'd let him go? Besides, why were we the only ones who didn't know anything about his leaving beforehand?!" Jun finished in a frustrated tone.

"... It's... not like Oh-chan to not tell us anything this serious..." Aiba observed, "I think... Nino-chan will be back when the time comes... Meanwhile, we'll just have to support Oh-chan in any way we can."

The other two nodded in agreement gloomily, solemn.

"I sure hope Ninomiya-san can see the Riida now..." Sho remarked, eyes wandering to the bed where the thinning Ohno laid, open-eyed.
