Eiji stopped for a minute and looked at his hand. A scar there from something he hadn't been able to handle by himself, and now that he actually looked at it, it reminded him of a crack in a Medal that he'd tried hard to put back together.
"Once, I was caught up in something pretty bad. A friend of mine had betrayed me, and even though I tried to say I could handle it, I couldn't. I was so mad I couldn't think straight, and I was starting to do things that were hurting me, but no matter what my friends told me, I didn't listen."
Now, he looked back at Takeru with a sad smile. "But in the end, my friend came back. He didn't exactly say he was sorry, but I knew he was. And I was, for everything I'd said and done to him during the whole thing. But the both of us still had really big problems going on with ourselves, and neither one of us wanted to admit it to each other. He knew mine was bad, though, so he made himself worse off trying to help me. I still haven't forgiven myself for making him worry so much about me that it ended up hurting him."
