Chapter 440: Changed

"Sei… I… I don't want to die…" Zaki cried, as he pulled at his hair. Sei sat there and just listened, his hands clenched into tight fists. 

"I don't want to hurt her but I still ended up hurting her. She cried and was in pain because of me." Zaki was extremely emotional. He felt his heart ripping apart and there was no sign of the pain subsiding. He thought that he could endure the pain in his chest but he didn't know that he could never handle seeing Hinari cry. The pain was worse than he ever imagined. 

When he promised to protect her from anything and anyone who wanted to harm her, he never thought that he would have to protect her from himself.
