“This is an apology… Kaito-kun, for all of the times that I made you doubt, made you wonder. When I told you that I… well, I know you don’t believe me. I blame myself for that. For pushing too hard, for not pushing hard enough. You won’t hear from me again. I won’t interrupt your happiness. I’m…"A pause, hesitating, then a sigh and a halfhearted laugh. "I’m glad for you, actually. Really glad. I just can’t do it anymore. Even now, I can’t make myself say the words that I should have so long ago. I’m sorry. Goodbye.”

“Ah… I know that this will seem odd, out of the blue, but I wanted to thank you for your concern. God, this is awkward. Hakuba Saguru… well, you know who I am, don’t you? You’ve always been so kind. That’s why I… wanted to thank you personally before…” A sigh. “Well, you’ll inevitably find out… Anyway. Thank you.”
“Goodbye.”
“They know.” A cold laugh. “They know everything. All of the things that I told you and more. They’re coming for me. Stay away; don’t try to help. I earned this. It’s over. I’m sorry we didn’t have more time.” A brief pause- clattering in the background. “Ja.” And then a click.

“Hannah-chan, I’m leaving this message with you because I know it will be in capable hands… outside of the usual circle. Please, if you could, tell the others that I… that I-"
The message cuts off there.
“Goodbye.”
“Aki- Akira-kun…” Static on the line, voice punctuated with ragged breaths. “You… have to get her out-” A pause. Silence for several seconds. Then, in a rushed whisper. “I have to go.”
Send me “Goodbye” for the last voice message my muse leaves for yours before they die.

“Baaya… hold my calls for me, please, unless they’re from my agent?”
