[In Japanese:]

I've come to understand that there is something wrong with the languages in this tower... until now, I thought everyone spoke Japanese but I guess that's just how the "translator" works.

If you can understand this language, but it's not a language you're familiar with, this is Japanese. I would be willing to answer any questions you might have about this language or anything else, don't be afraid to ask.

For anyone wondering, Japanese is my first language, and the only other language I can speak is English. But if you need someone to translate Japanese to English or vice verse, I would be willing to help.

[He clears his throat, and starts speaking again. Only this time it's in slightly accented English.]

I can speak English, enough for talking. I don't know who needs help, but I can translate Japanese to English and English to Japanese. Please ask if you need this.

And... can you teach me your language, if you know more? I would like to learn more.

[There's a pause and he frowns a bit sadly, before speaking again. First in Japanese, then repeated in English.]

On another note, Kageyama Reiji is gone. I found his grave the other day.

...He's gone?

[That's the only thing he can say, whatever he wanted to address from what Kidou said previously forgotten. Hearing this actually makes him feel sad.]

[He nods]

I was going to visit Haruna's grave when I noticed one with his name on it. I checked his room just in case and his trunk was empty.

[He knows Kageyama could return but... knowing he's actually dead back home makes his parting just more painful.]

It-- that's too bad. I'll miss him.

[He's being completely truthful. Being in the tower's taught him that despite the things that Kageyama's done, he's not completely terrible. Sakuma's looking pretty downcast at this point too because he also realizes what going back home means for the man.]

[There's a long pause as Kidou tries to think of something to say, anything that would lighten the mood maybe... nothing really comes to mind though.

When he finally speaks up again, his voice is a bit hesitant and he shifts his gaze to the side, though it's hard to tell because of his goggles.]

Hey... do you want to.. pick a bouquet of flowers, for Sousuii's grave? [Neither of them really had a chance to properly honor Kageyama after he died back home..]

[Very slowly, Sakuma nods.]

That doesn't sound like a bad idea, yeah. Let's meet at the meadow?

Yeah, I'll see you there.

[And after a few minutes, Kidou enters the meadow floor and stops just short of the doorway, looking at all the different types of flowers to pick.]

[Sakuma arrives not long after and when he notices Kidou, he walks towards his friend, tapping the other boy on the shoulder gently when he reaches him.]

Hey.

[He turns around and offers Sakuma a smile.]

Yo.

[Then he turns his attention back to the flowers.]

I was thinking of picking some narcissus... they're his favorite type of flower.

Are they really? I didn't know that.

[He doesn't doubt that Kidou would know though so without wasting any more time, he walks past Kidou into the field, looking around him to see if he can spot any.]

[He nods and starts walking, placing his hands in his jacket pockets.]

He's never out rightly stated that they were his favorite, but he was always fond of them I've noticed. [He crouches down in front of a group of daffodil.]

You might not know it, but daffodils are also narcissus. Though Sousuii never really liked daffodils specifically, he always said they were too yellow for his taste. [He stands up again and looks around.]

He always preferred the ones with the white petals, and whenever we went to a field with flowers growing, I'd make sure to look for at least one.

Though, I've never actually thought about why he liked narcissus the most... perhaps it's the color, or maybe it's the poison in it's leaves. [That's when he spots a few white narcissi, growing in the midst of bright, yellow daffodil. His smile is fond, and a bit sad.]

But whatever his reason was, there's no other flower that fits him the most. Because the meaning of the narcissus -- [He makes his way over and crouches down in front of them, gently picking one of the flowers at the base of it's stem.]

Is a new beginning.

[As Kidou talks, Sakuma watches him silently. He always knew there was a special bond between Kidou and the Commander because in a way, the man was like a father to him. That's why when he betrayed them, Sakuma felt that he couldn't forgive him. Not for his own sake, but for Kidou's.

But things turned out differently and through it all, the fact that Kageyama remained special to Kidou remained so how can Sakuma hate someone like that?

When Kidou reaches the end of his narration, Sakuma nods slowly as he thought over what his friend just said.]

He gave us the chance for that, didn't he.

[Whether it was to give an orphaned boy a new home or to bring soccer back to another.]

[He stands up again and nods.]

...if things had turned out differently, he would have had a chance himself. [It was nice though... the few months he got to spend with the true Kageyama.]
