He lies awake at night, wearing his glasses as though he can see an answer in the darkness, and he thinks of a girl with a happy smile and glass-green eyes. He wonders why he has starting feeling the way he does, and how he can make it stop. She has her own love to worry about. His mission is done. Sakura’s life is her own—not his.

Traffic flows relentlessly outside the window. Eventually he falls asleep, his frames still resting on his face, and in his dream he says to her, "You were never mine to begin with."
