Judah took a seat on the ground to regain his spirits.

Akira clenched his fists. "Hey… did he just… take her away from us?!"

Judah looked towards him. "Wha—?"

Akira slammed his fist on the ground. "SHE WAS OURS, DAMNIT!!!"

Jin put a hand on his shoulder. "Akira, stop, this isn't like you…"

Akira shrugged her off. He clutched at his head. "No! I don't want your pity!! This is my fault…! Anzu shouldn't have had to die like that!! I shouldn't have ignored her order… I broke the code of our team!!"

Naozumi stepped up. "Akira. No one's blaming you for what happened. We have no choice but to move on."

"Move on…? MOVE ON?!" Akira looked back at him with tears in his eyes. "What do you think Akasan is gonna say when he finds out that Anzu died because of me?"

Everyone went quiet.

Judah looked up at the sky. "Trust me, he wouldn't blame you. Akasan isn't that kind of man."

Akira covered his face. He took a deep breath and screamed.
