“Where do I begin?” I asked as I looked at everyone in the eyes. I realized that I didn’t even write anything for the eulogy.
“Well, when Masa first came, let me tell you, I was annoyed: he was crazy, hyper, loud, and weird,” I laughed lightly along with everyone else. “Out of everyone in the Manor, he decided to bother me. Out of all people… But since then, without even realizing it, we became best friends.
“Masaki had showed me everything and made me appreciated life even more… Before, I used to despise everything and I was alone (of course, I had Jun). Until Masaki came into my life—no, our life—did everything change. Because Masaki defined life.
“When he first came, though, I thought that it was just another hopeless kid who wanted to find a family right away. But when he, Jun and I spent every day with each other… we became our own family. Well, Father Ohno and Sakurai-sensei were like our fathers.”
I heard light laughter from the people before him and saw that both Father Ohno and Sakurai-sensei were letting out their tears with no shame.
“As we got older, however, I fell more Masaki,” I paused and expected everyone to look at me with disgust, but everyone looked at me innocently. I continued. “I loved him, sometimes more than he loved me. We couldn’t wait to get out of this place, and when we did, we went crazy like bunnies on a large dose of hormones.”
From the front row, Jun nodded his head in agreement.
“But when I found out that he was sick, he ran away. Pushed me and Jun away, and disappeared… Since then, I wasn’t the same person. Yeah, I shot up in fame, but it wasn’t enough without Masaki. Five years later, when I heard that he died right here, right in our very small home, I came back.
“I lost myself and had almost ruined my life. Hell, I couldn’t even bring myself to look at Masaki’s peaceful face…” I paused and closed my eyes for a moment. As of now, I didn’t care if I cried in front of everyone. I’ve been holding it for too long this whole day. “But I had a dream today… and I think Masaki visited me in my sleep. I could still hear his voice clear as day in my head. He said, “It will be alright. Just let me go, Kazu...”
“I know it’s cliché, but when you know you love someone or something, you had to learn to let go. So today… I’m up here to say just that.”
