## Plot

### *Volume 4*

**Chapter 16**

Akira is mentioned as Seichiro's son, by Tchaiko, when he tells his Drop-in center's friends about Seichiro, about the story of how they met each other and about how they both met Someone-san.

**Chapter 17**

While Akira visits his father, Seichiro, Tchaiko stays away, as Akira is not aware of their relationship, and Tchaiko does not want to feel like he gets in the way between them, in fear of the chance of Akira being hateful towards their relationship. So when Akira comes to visit his father as he usually does, he is surprised to find a little Christmas tree near his hospital bed that was not there before. When he asks his father if anyone was there in the room with him before he arrived, out of genuine curiosity, his father's response to this person being "an old friend" who is an "anyone" wanting to remain as "someone", Akira is seen confused by his answer.

**Chapter 21**

On New Year's Day, Akira is on his way to visit his father at the usual time he does so, but he bumps into Tchaiko on his way out of his father's hospital room. Since they do not know each other, they keep walking their separate ways. However, Akira seems to ponder for a moment about what just happened.

**Chapter 22**

On the first day of spring, Akira goes to the hospital to visit his father as he usually does. However, this time he goes in the morning, something that surprises Tchaiko as he sees him from afar, because he does not usually come in the morning. This deeply worries Tchaiko, but he calms down as soon as he receives one of Seichiro's daily text messages on his phone, wishing him a good morning, and celebrating the beginning of spring. On the other hand, Akira has a somber expression on his face that Tchaiko could not see from afar.

Some days later, Akira sends a text message to Tchaiko:

*"My father is in critical condition. Please come to the hospital right away.*
-Akira"

**Chapter 23**

Akira anxiously waits for Tchaiko to come to the hospital. So when Tchaiko arrives at Seichiro's hospital room, heavily panting from running all the way to there, Akira softly smiles at him. Tchaiko was aware of the fact that, since gay couples have yet to have the same rights as straight couples do, he can not be there with his partners in his final moments, so he is nervous to approach them when he sees Akira in the room with his dad. However, when Akira sweetly tells his father that "his favorite person" is here, Tchaiko approaches Seichiro's bed and gently but firmly holds his hand.

As Seichiro and Tchaiko share their final moment together and say their final words to each other, Akira lets them have their space.

## Trivia

* Akira is the one who gave Tchaiko the "Symphony No. 5" record by Thaikovsky, which was Seichiro's favorite, after Seichiro died, and as per his request.
