Caramel　Today they killed people, too.

　The man in the black suit and deep blue shirt is Nanami; the man in the burgundy shirt is Higuruma.
　The "executioners" look down at the motionless "ex-humans" as they are drenched by the night's heavy rain.
　The red droplets on their faces and hands flow down.

　...hahahahaha, hahahaha... hahahahaha

　Higuruma starts laughing out loud.

　If it were daylight now and the weather were nice, you could see his pupils dilate and drool.
　He stands deflated and continues to laugh.

"Ah, Hiromi-san, again."

　Nanami approaches Higuruma with a kind face, pulls a small package from him pocket, and gently places the rain-soaked brown square into Higuruma's mouth, forcing his mouth to close.
　Higuruma's face becomes expressionless.
　
　Looking down at his feet once more, Higuruma asks to go home.
　"Yes" Nanami replies.

　As they walk, Nanami thinks about Higuruma.

　Every time he takes something from someone, Higuruma mourns himself, sometimes laughing like a broken man. It is especially noticeable right after the murder.

　Whenever he breaks down, I put a caramel in his mouth, which he used to sometimes eat when he was in the bright world, and call him back to Nanami's world.

　The time we both sleep together, I can still keep myself together.

　I have asked Higuruma many times if he will continue to be the "executioners," but he always responds with the same thing: "It's my justice.
　To Nanami, justice is a bitch, even if it destroys Higuruma's own heart.

　He returns to his "current room," where someone else lived.
　I am not interested in why this room, which is still fully furnished, was unoccupied.
　I live here because it's empty.

　Higuruma heads for the bathroom. He takes a warm shower without undressing, and Nanami joins him, helping Higuruma undress and then undressing herself.
　Nanami joins Higuruma in the bathtub, helping him undress and undress himself.

　Higuruma say, "Get away from me."
　Nanami gently holds Higuruma as he stands leaning against Nanami.

　They wipe their bodies roughly in the changing room and head to bed, still naked, holding hands.
　Higuruma, who is devouring Nanami, moves, tears streaming down his face.

　When they lie down, Higuruma continues to stare at the ceiling, tears streaming down his face.

　"It's hard to live through one second"

　Higuruma mumbles quietly.
　Nanami wipes the drops away with him fingers, but it doesn't stop, and when he licks the tears from the corner of him eyes, he finally calms down and hides him eyes behind him lids.

　Nanami intends to keep him promise.
　Until death do us part, we will walk together.

　Tomorrow, I hope I will be crazy, too.
　With this wish, Nanami closed him eyes as well.
