The next morning, Daichi woke up feeling groggy, his mind still reeling from the vivid dream that he'd had the night before. Everything had felt so real, but it had to be fake right?
This was his initial thoughts, but in his heart, Daichi held some doubt. From his mother beating him to attending Yokohama High School with Ken, these were not some far-fetched happenings.
In fact, if Ken had not been so persistent in Middle School, he wouldn't have become so close with him, let alone gotten into baseball. Of course this also meant that he would have never been adopted into the Takagi family.
'Was I shown what would have happened if they didn't take me in?' Daichi thought, his heart turning cold.
The scene of him holding Ken's cold and gaunt body surfaced in his mind, causing his heart to thunder in his chest. Even if it was just a vision, seeing such a scene left a lasting impact on him.
Daichi felt Miho stir beside him, breaking him out of his trance.
