„Hello, Rei“ You greeted him. Rei said nothing to you, but you could understand. He was not in any situation to talk to you.You gave him a long sad look before you continued to talk. „I am sorry.“ You apologized. Knowing that he would just hear you out without interrupting you, you opened your mouth to continue talking to him.

„Don't think bad of me. I know it was my mistake. I… I shouldn't have gone to the beach with you that day. I…“ You let out a great amount of air through your mouth. „I should have listen to you. You wanted to go camping in the mountains, but my selfish self was against it. I knew you wanted to go camping with me so bad, thats why you agreed on going to the beach with me. I really would have gone to the mountains with you if I knew what would happen.“

Another sigh slipped through your slightly open lips. Your eyes started to become watery, but you were still able to hold it back. You tried to calm yourself, but you felt already that you will fail.

„Rei, I am really sorry… Actually… I don't know if apologizing is enough. It doesn't feel right to me. I am not in the position to be just apologizing to you. Because of me… you…“

Rei did not answered, but you knew he was listening to you. His silence was just depressing to you.

„I can’t sleep, Rei. That day… it appears in my dreams like reality. A cruel reality which should be just a nightmare. That day is clear in my vision. It just keeps on repeating.“

You wiped a tear away which was rolling down your cheek.

„My dream… that day… it starts with us going to the beach. The weather forecast said it was going to rain, but because it seemed so sunny in the morning, we both thought that the forecast was wrong. I remember us talking and laughing while we were on the train. It was a fun time, wasn't it?“

You tried to smile, but your heart was pounding heavy and  the sadness was circulating in your blood and body.

„I cant believe it turned out like that… I remember you were joking about moisture or something. I actually did not get the joke, but I still laughed because we had such a good time. It was a warm and sunny day, we didn't care what happened next. The time seemed to run fast, because we arrived earlier than we thought. Our stay at the beach was beautiful, remember?“

A long and heavy sigh came out from deep inside of your lungs. You paused before continuing talking to him to catch a breath.

„You told me that my eyes were sparkling when I saw the ocean. You said that it looked like a clear night sky with millions of stars. And then-“

A cold but strong wind was blowing through the scenery, bringing the sound of rustling leaves and wind rushing into your years. You got goosebumps, but you did not bother any further.

„And then we went swimming. The water was warm from the sun, and we had so much fun at the beach. It was a coincidence that we met Makoto and his family there. His siblings are for sure cute, aren't they?“

Your try to smile failed.

„We swam further out to the ocean, you and me. Makoto stood closer to the beach because he needed to take care of his siblings. Have you noticed the storm clouds from afar?“

You waited for his answer, but he stood cold towards you.

„Because I didn’t. But Makoto did. You remember when he kept waving at us and shouting something? He told me later that he tried to warn us, but we thought it was just simple waving. We waved back while laughing. It…“

Another cold wind gave you goosebumps. Your eyes became watery again, but this time you did not want to hold back anything.

„It was the last time I heard you laughing. Makoto kept shouting, but the sound of the waves was too loud. And then, there was that big wave that suddenly hit us. It was scary. It was even more scarier that we were suddenly so far away from the ocean. But the scariest was that you were suddenly so far from me.“

Tears kept rolling, and your throat felt like it was too dry to speak.

„Remember Makoto suddenly acting in panic? You saw how he swam back to the beach with his siblings and ran towards the local fisherman boat? I could only saw it a bit, because more and bigger waves kept hitting us. The water was too much for me to handle. But when I was able to see again, I saw Makoto swimming towards me. Rei, where were you? How far have we been apart that time? The ocean started to rage, and you were nowhere in my sight, no matter in what direction I turned my head.“

A long pause between you two. You didn't spoke, he didn't spoke. But how could he, anyway?

„I can't remember any further. Everything turned black. When I became consciousness again, I was laying on sand. The sky was dark grey and it was raining. Makoto stood next to me, but he was looking towards the ocean. I felt that something was wrong. Many other people were at the beach. Strangers, the police and people from a hospital-„

You tears cut your speaking, and cold wind was messing with your clothes and hair.

„_____-san?“ You heard a familiar voice calling. It was Makoto, who was coming towards you with a bouquet of lilies.

„Ma-Makoto-„ You tears again. You couldn't speak anymore. You just waited for Makoto to stand next to you. A silence of sadness filled the air. It felt like forever before Makoto opened his mouth to say something.

„Nagisa doesn't come out of his room anymore since that day. Haruka… He has been quieter than usual. He spends more time in his bathtub than before. Its all my fault. If I had-„ „Its not your fault!“ You cut his words. „It was my fault. If I wouldn't have swim out so far with him, this wouldn't have happened.“

You started sobbing. „You couldn't have known.“ Makoto replied to you in an unusual soft tone. „Then who’s fault is it? Who is the one here to blame?!“ You asked him while sobbing. Makoto sigh before you saw that a tear rolled down his cheek.

„No one needs to be at fault for this.“ He said while putting the bouquet on Rei’s grave.

Your tears came like a waterfall, and you felt how Makoto put his arm around your shoulder to comfort you.

„I am so sorry.“ He said in a whisper-like voice while his tears were falling like rain on your head.
