[Color=navy]"Ch...Chiaki?"[/color]

Noboru stammered at first, and calmed himself. Chiaki was right. They needed totalk. He stood up, steadying himself.

"[color=662d91]Noboru-kun... Wh-Who is Keiko?..[/color]"

Noboru's lip stammered at first. He spoke up to her.

[Color=navy]"Kei...Keiko wa... is my eldest sister. She went into a coma, eight years ago, from a car crash, one that I was also in. She's in the Hospital currently."[/color]

Noboru looked down for a second, glancing at his necklace, and looked back up to speak again.

[Color=navy]"But that isn't important. If Keiko saw me acting like this, she would slap the hell out of me and tell me to stop acting like this. So I guess the main thing I should say is sorry. I ran away and avoided you, thinking it would fix things. Please, please forgive me."[/color]

Noboru had rambled long enough, but it felt good to get something off of his chest. He rubbed his eyes, not realizing a few tears had formed.
