Kou jerks awake in his bed, gasping for air. He pants, and heaves, until he realizes he’s in his room. Finally, he catches his breath, and begins to cry for real this time. Not a soft sob, a heavy sob. Snot drips down his lips and onto the pillow he holds close to him.“I can’t do this,” Kou chokes in between sobs. “It’s too much.”He checks to see if his hand is still there. Thankfully, it is.But Mitsuba isn’t.
