[ Just after what Terry said last to him, a loud ringing pierces his ears and then like a line that has been cut off, he no longer hears anything.
He was given twice, two extra times of chance in life. But in neither did he manage to protect his loved ones to the end. He left Ishimaru, Liv, Tsumiki, Jon, everyone behind, before even finding the way out of Wonderland. He wasn't able to help Ishimaru return to the future he deserves, nor was he able to send off Liv back to her home, where she belongs. Tsumiki... he wanted to keep her smiling, but all he made her was to cry, just like what he did to Ishimaru. He wasn't able to be there for Jon when he was having his hardest time, either.
When he came here, he resolved not to get involved to any of the people. And yet he easily gave in to the warmth everyone showed him, because he was selfish. He even had a chance to form a gang that aims to protect, not to destroy. A chance to have a family, that he has always wanted. He got to live all his dreams, all he wanted here. He's gotten so many moments of true happiness. And yet all he's done are failures after failures, mistakes after mistakes.
Ah... he doesn't want to die. He thought he was ready to die anytime because that was what he was supposed to be - dead. But not when he doesn't know if Rei and Kido are even safe. Even if Terry can't die, he can only imagine how much he's hurting right now. If only he learned from his mistakes... If only he trained harder in the dungeons... If only he's stronger... If only--
It's really cold.
His eyes are feeling really heavy right now.
Funny, he isn't supposed to be able to see anything. Is he regaining his sight now? It's still dark, but he can see two spotlights coming towards him from afar.
...A truck? This road... it's one that has always appeared in his dreams, every night after Daiya left the world. He knows this place. Maybe, this is another dream. Maybe he's just really tired and needed this nap, and he'll be back to fight alongside Terry again. If he just follows those lights, will he see what's beyond?
A loud screech, followed by blaring horn resounds in his ears, and his entire body hurts excruciatingly, like never before. It resembles the pain he felt in the Cage of Death, but ten times worse.
Haha, so this is it. It's the end, isn't it? Then at least, before dying in the most pathetic way once again, let him do just one thing. His head turns towards Terry's with what power he has left, and a quiet whisper leaves him with the last of his breath: ]
I'm sorry.
[ With that, the body on Terry's shoulder grows limp and heavy, so heavy that it feels like Terry is carrying a literal car.

It's over, Terry. You should give up on him. ]
