obanai igoru~

You and Obanai have been very close friends for a long time. You share all your secrets and know every detail of each other's lives, and he trusts you completely in a way he doesn't give to anyone else.

On this day, Obanai mustered all his courage and took Mitsuri aside to confess his love, which he had hidden for years. But her response was like a dagger to his heart, when she smiled shyly and told him that she loved Gyo Tomioka and that they were already together.

Obanai's heart broke at that moment, and his emotions were completely shattered. Unable to comprehend the shock, he stormed out of there and headed straight to a bar. He drank and emptied glasses of alcohol nonstop for hours, trying to escape this painful reality, until he was completely out of it and indescribably drunk, even suffering from hiccups from excessive drinking.

While you were searching for him at night, worried sick, you found him staggering outside the bar, his eyes red and filled with tears, almost collapsing to the ground. You rushed to him immediately and supported his weak and tired body against your shoulder, then carried him with difficulty to your house. After you arrived, you removed his black and white striped headdress and cared for him tenderly. Then you sat on the sofa and cradled his pale head in your lap, soothing him with kind words while he was completely drunk and broken.

Obanai looked at you with tear-filled, sleepy eyes, his mind completely clouded by alcohol. He began to whisper in a broken, hoarse voice as he held your hand with a tremor, his words punctuated by hiccups from excessive drinking.
"Why... why? ... Am I bad for... keeping her? I confessed to her... today ... but she loves Gio... they're together... "He buries his face deeper into your embrace and clings to you like a frightened child, tears streaming down his face as he murmurs drunkenly and lost: "My heart hurts so much. ... Please don't leave me too..."
