Eternal Melody

Chapter 1065 Tokyo Illusion Part 3

TOH

At Nagawa General Hospital

He has lost count how many times he has had to come here. Seeing the trashed office, Toh exhales deeply.

"If you want to see her, you can you know?"

This unreasonable person throwing a tantrum is none other than Nagawa Sano. The only reason he was even doing this was because Akane asked him a favour. He already owed the girl so much, so this was the least he could do for her. Otherwise, he wouldn't deal with this person.

Nagawa Sano's mental health has worsened since Terashima returned. It makes sense considering how Terashima wasn't letting Sumire out of his sight.

"Look, you need to eat." Toh said breaking the silence between them. From the corner of his eye, he could see the tray of food Akane left for him.

"Have you seen her?"

"Yes I did earlier today."

Sano scoffed. "So, she is willing to meet you but she can't spare a few minutes to answer my messages?"

Toh sighs deeply. "Nagawa, I don't think your that stupid. Do you not remember what you did to her? If Terashima didn't know the details before, he does now. Do you really think he would let you continue treating her that way?"

"Shit." Sano cursed. "I didn't do that to hurt her. I just-"

'How many times are we going to have this conversation? Akane dear, your brother is a lost cause.' He doesn't know how Sumire managed to put up with this guy.

"Listen, Sumire asked me to give you this." He takes out an envelope and a bag of cookies.

"You're not just trying to get me to eat are you?"

"She really made them, if you don't want it-"

"I'll eat." Sano takes the bag and the envelope.

San,

I'm sorry I haven't been able to see you.

As you may have figured by now, err Yuhi-san found out everything.

I did tell him that everything was consensual and that you didn't understand what you were doing. But, he has quite the temper.

I have an event soon, it will be a public gathering.

Even if Yuhi-san wants to get mad he won't be able to in front of everyone.

I'm hoping you can come?

Sumire.

Seeing the tickets, he sees Nagawa frown. "Is this the one our company is going to?"

Toh nodded and Sano exhaled deeply. "What is Lucifer thinking?"

"He's just like you, but not as desperate. He knows there are boundaries. He hasn't seen her in a while himself."

'I actually have to praise him there, Lucifer showed up a week after he went abroad to the sight, and they returned to Japan at the same time.'

Sano stared longingly at the letter. "Do you really think Terashima would let me talk to her?" 𝙛𝙧𝓮𝓮𝙬𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝓮𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝙢

"I think you already know the answer to this. Despite Terashima acting over protective. Sumire was the one who decided not to see you. It may have been to appease him but she chose this."

Sano growled and knocked over another vase causing it to shatter on the ground.

"Shit, even though she said she forgave me. Even though she said-"

Toh sighs again. He rubbed his temple frustrated. None of these talks with Nagawa seem to be getting anywhere. It's not like he hasn't dealt with people like this before. But, it's much harder to deal with Nagawa, because it's not like he can't sympathize with him.

Sympathy is dangerous, as a psychologist he should know this better than anyone.

Before he could say anymore the doors opened revealing Mamoru.

"Hey friends! How are we this fine morning?"

This overly enthusiastic person is none other than Tsueno Mamoru.

Sano scoffed. "It would be better if I didn't have to see a certain person so earlier on the day."

"Unfortunately, I am only doing what I have been paid to do. Though I didn't take your sisters money, I owe her."

"Right, you got her pregnant and she miscarried. You owe her more than you think."

Unfortunately he can't refute that. He has been meaning to make it up to Akane. But the girl has been doing a great job avoiding him. She sent him a message regarding the situation with her brother before he boarded the plane. She didn't actually talk to him about it. He hasn't spoken to her in a month, and she has long been discharged.

Previously it was easy to see her around in the company, but not anymore. That girl?is definitely trying to avoid him. If he didn't have his hands full with the work Lucifer is assigning him then he would certainly search for her. It makes sense why Akane is avoiding him but he still wants to talk to her.

How badly is she being treated after returning to the Nagawa family? Did she actually go back there? Are they keeping her locked up, and that's why he hasn't seen her? But, there is no doubt that she has been coming here to give this hopeless brother of hers meals.

Sano sighs deeply. "She's been staying with our brother Evans and his wife since she was discharged. If you want the address, I will give it to you."

Toh shakes his head. "That information is enough."

He only spoke to that man Evans a few times, but Toh could tell he was a reliable person.

Sano pointed to the tickets. "I think she is attending this too, since she is a prominent artist in the company."

That would make sense. Due to the strings he pulled, Akane isn't being suppressed in the company anymore. Rather Lucifer has generously given her more resources as a thank you for taking care of Sumire, and maintaining the secret.

"I feel like I'm interrupting something important, maybe I should leave." Mamoru suddenly said.

"Mashima hold him down." Sano suddenly said.

Toh nodded and placed his arms on Mamoru's shoulders firmly.

"Ouch, ouch that hurts."

Toh sighs. "Also check him for injuries, this fool went ahead and got himself hurt again."

Sano nodded and rolled Mamoru's sleeves up. Toh only expected to see a cut or two. But no, what he was seeing was terrifying. Mamoru's skin colour had turned an awful shade of purple and grey.

"This-"

Toh's gaze dimmed. "Have you been drinking the pills the institute gave you?"

Mamoru didn't say anything.

"I told you not to take those! I know you have no choice to go back there since your undercover but, you can't drink anything they give you." Toh exclaimed.

He normally didn't lose his composure. But, he has grown to see Tsueno Mamoru as a friend. Sano rumages through some draws and eventually takes out a purple coloured pouch.

"Sumire gave me this, she says it has healing properties against any type of darkness." Sano looked over at him for permission and Toh nodded.

"I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong."

Sano pours the contents of the pouch into a syringe and stabs Mamoru. For a moment it looked like nothing was happening but, the large patches slowly resided. They still remained on Mamoru's arm, but not the entire arm.

Toh sighed in relief. "If you do this again, I'm going to tell her."

Mamoru laughed weakly. "I understand, I was going to go to the event so I'm glad this got sorted."

"Let me, no us take you." Toh turned to Nagawa. "You need to sort whatever is going on with you and Sumire. Me and Mamoru will keep Terashima distracted. But, I'm warning you. If you do anything to her, I'll beat you up myself."

"I won't, I just want to see her. I need to." Sano pleaded.

Toh sighed. Maybe he ought to give up being a psychologist.
