LOST GARDEN Link Story -Siams- | Chapter 5

Shin: “Sia~ms-ku~~~n ♪”

Siams: What do you want?

Shin: “What kind of greeting is that? Not exactly a warm reception.”

Siams: And you expect too much. I can’t match your energy.

Shin: “I don’t remember asking you to, though?”

Siams: ......

Shin: “I’m coming back tomorrow.”

Siams: ...What?

Shin: “It’ll be after dusk... Actually, probably at night?”

Siams: Tomorrow, huh...

Shin: “You could be a little happier about it. Aren’t you lonely there by yourself?”

Siams: Is Sirius coming back with you?

Shin: “Nah, Sirius said he still has a few things to take care of, so he’s not coming back yet.”

Siams: I see...

Shin: “We’ve got a temporary break in our work is all. Whoops, we’re on the move.”

“With that, I’m leaving our welcome back party to you~”

(Shin hangs up)

Siams: Hey, wait!

...He hung up. That bastard has been pretty gung-ho lately.

But now that I think about it...

Did he just say “we”...?

Kai: Luca...

I said that you were the one who changed... But that wasn’t true...

You and me—neither of us changed...

Luca: ...?

Kai: The two of us are just completely different people...

“We were born together, so we should die together”? ...Don’t say such ridiculous things...

Luca: ......

Kai: You... don’t need me...

From now on, you need to live your own life, Luca...

———

Luca: (——Kai...)

(Kai...)

(Why... Kai...)

Kai: “——Luca...”

Luca: ?!

Kai: "Luca, I’m sorry."

Luca: ...What?

What are you apologizing for...?

Kai: “......”

Luca: For leaving me behind...?

For... Going ahead on your own...?

Kai: “......”

Luca: I’m the one who has a million things to apologize to you for...

For thinking the things I did... For letting things turn out the way they did... For not noticing or being able to do anything...

I thought that joining the military would give us some stability. I thought that we would stop suffering like we did when we were kids...

Kai: “......”

Luca: In the past, I understood everything that you were thinking. If I didn’t, then who would?

You’ve always been the one closest to me... I’m so sorry...

Kai: “I had...”

“I had nothing.”

Luca: Huh...?

Kai: “I just... wanted a reason to live...”
