Chapter Text
Everything hurts.
His body, his heart, everything.
Seeing Maruki broken like that, reminded Ren of many things.
It reminded him everything that he sacrificed.
His life.
His goals.
His career.
His love.
Goro won't be coming back.
It's not possible to revive a dead person anyways.
It's not fair.
Life is not fair.
Was is it so much to ask for some love?
Did he choose the wrong path or had he chosen the correct one all along?
He was just being selfish.
Being selfless isn't always a good thing. It just makes things hard and complicated.
But there were others out there. People who loved Goro more than he did.
If only Ren could have been as open with him as he was with everyone else. If only he didn’t hide what was going on inside of himself. Then they would have been able to tell each other everything that needed to be said. Then he wouldn’t have needed to pretend that he wasn’t hurting anymore.
They wouldn't notice.
No one would notice if he's gone.
As the monacopter came their way, Ren looked down at Maruki, giving him a sad smile.
With a quick maneuver and the help of Raoul's strength, Ren threw Maruki into the light of the helicopter.
While falling into the abyss of the metaverse.
