He is just a shattered piece of a glass, he wears a mask.
No one is there to make him remove his mask...
[Scene:The scene changes back .]
"Kill youself!"
"Look what the people think of you."
Laughing can be heard all over the place.
One of the figure gives himself a knife:
"It''s the right thing to do...you will be out of your misery soon enough."
The figure says in a calm manner, handing him the knife to take his life.
The other figure laugh behind his back.
The boy grips the knife from the sharp point and...

The girl bows her head and waits for the boy¡¯s answer,
"I am very sorry! I-I...can''t respond to your feelings, sorry. I''m in love with someone else. I''m very sorry!"
The boy says hastily, lies and gives a straight forward answer, with a gentle like smile.
"Thank you for your time...I-I h-hope you find your love with that someone."
She says nervously, as she musters her courage and wasted efforts of finally asking someone she liked. She leaves the spot, trying to hide her tears in her eyes.
The boy knows he is cruel, his heart aches too. But...as emotionless as he is right now, what can he do? He wonders about it. He stares at the cloud while thinking.

"Hasai Hittori! You''re life is not worth living anymore."
His inner demons dressed like a lawyer reaches with a conclusion.

"Wait!!!"
The Judge is suddenly interrupted and the whole Courtroom disappears, as if nothing was there.
[Scene: Background changes to white as the Courtroom vanished and so does his sewn mouth.]
Hittori looks around in confusion and sees the same pink haired, with a blurry face, girl.
"Hittori, you said that you would stay with me, didn''t you?"
The girl says with a smile while disappearing with the wind.
"Hey! Wait! Hey, what kind of promise did I make? Who are you? Tell me your-"
