[Action for 1250 Williams Road - backdated to the morning of the 21st, the day after his death on the highway.]

[Hachibe wakes up in his bed at 1250 Williams gasping for air and screaming himself awake from a fitful nightmare of being mauled to death by thousands of cats.  He clutches at his chest, trying to slow his breathing and calm his heartbeat ( Read more... )

[ Japan spots Hachibe as he passes by and glances into the window- he has been worried for him, in truth, all day, but couldn't bring himself to visit him directly. So at one point, when he sees him standing in front of the door- he hesitates for just a moment and then rushes to open it, his expression strangely shaken, and in a quiet voice calls out to Hachibe before he can leave. ]

M-Maeda-kun...

Japan!

[Hachibe's own expression is pretty worried at this point too - he was killed before he ever found out what happened to the others.]

... Y-yes. Of course.

[ He will let him inside, but- the expression won't leave him. He quite can't control himself right now- the image Hachibe's corpse keeps pooping up in his mind, and while he certainly has witnessed worse than this... ]

[Hachibe steps in, taking his shoes off at the door and nodding briefly. There's a few more seconds of awkward silence before he speaks again.]

...So, uh, what happened to you guys back there? I tried to come back, but...

Yeah, they were about to wreck. I just couldn't stand by and watch that happen! It was really just lucky that I got both of them, though, to tell you the truth...

[He laughs a little, rubbing at the back of his head.]

[ shakes his head ] ...Even so, I am grateful. However...

[ And at this, he lowers his eyes and avoids looking Hachibe in the face. ]

... Would it be possible at all, for Maeda-kun to forgive me?

[He looks relieved to hear that, but then confused at the next part.]

...Forgive you? Sure, but what for?

Isn't it rather clear?

[It's not, actually. This is just how his mind works. But after a moment, the realization dawns on him.]
