"i have to tell you something"
a quiet, barely heard voice interrupted the silence.
They looked at the pale boy,confused.
he probably shouldn't be there now.
"Hey Sunny! I think you should be resting now."
a energetic,yet worried voice said.
Sunny gave a short nod,saying he was ok.
...
'It's about Mari"
"Her Death, it was my fault."
A pink haired girl came to comfort Sunny, embracing him as well.
"No Sunny,It wasn't anyone fault."
She Tried her best to give smile.
...
"The recital day, i pushed her down stairs"
Aubrey slowly let go of sunny.
"What?"
She said,her eyes were wide.
was she angry?,Sunny didn't really think that.
her eyes looked familiar...
...she looked scared.
Sunny looked at the both of kel and hero.
Kel was shocked while hero was just staring blankly, he was probably listening.
...
unexpected.
"we were arguing because i broke the violin."
Sunny said,while all of his "friends" listened.
"she was really angry and i got scared."
Aubrey clenched her fists...
hopefully she won't crash his head
...
"i never saw her angry before that day."
Tears gathered in the corners of his eyes.
"suddenly, she jumped in front of me, and i was already nervous ,so i pushed her."
Sunny Started crying.
It suddenly went real quiet.
Sunny felt a really heavy weight being lifted of his back.
...
"YOU DID WHAT!!???" Aubrey yelled.
Sunny wasn't sure but he felt his ears ringing.
"it was an accident". Sunny pathetically responded.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT WAS AN ACCIDEN-?"
Aubrey abruptly stopped while she looked at basil.
...
accident huh...
She thought to herself.
"I...i will think about it."
She quickly left the room.
...
Hero was still next to basil, his expression was miserable.
...
He left without saying a word.
Sunny didn't think it's a good sign.
...
the last one standing in there was Kel.
He was still horrified.
Sunny felt kind of bad seeing his first friend who always smiled brightly being worried like that.
It was his fault.
"S-...sunny you didn't do that... did you?"
"It's The Truth."
...
Kel hugged Sunny
"i am so sorry."
Sunny didn't understand what kel were saying.
He was mumbling a bunch of apologies.
Sunny Still didn't understand why.
but hugged back anyway...
then he left...Just like them.
but in less scary way.
...
Sunny expected something worse than that.
he looked at basil who just woke up.
"i told them, it's going to be okay now"
basil was surprised,he didn't believe at first.
but...
Something behind sunny disappeared.
...
Basil was relieved when he saw sunny smiling.
It was His first smile since long ago.
Basil smiled at Sunny.
They can't change the past,but finally they can go forward.
hopefully.
