Micchi feels a familiar sense of entitlement rising up inside him as doctors and nurses swarm around him and into niisan's room, marvelling at his medical miracle and pushing Micchi out because visiting times are over. They're trying to keep him from his niisan.

Getting angry and taking revenge on everyone isn't the way to go though, he's learnt that if nothing else. When niisan softly says his name Micchi goes to his side, takes hold of his hand as Takatora promises everything will be fine and that he should go home and get some rest too, to be able to come back first thing in the morning. Because niisan wants him there.

Niisan still loves him.

That's the only thing that could've made Micchi leave willingly. But once he's outside the hospital building he isn't sure what to do with himself. This is a momentous occasion! Somebody needs to know about it!

...But nobody even knew niisan was in the hospital. Micchi hadn't told anyone. There aren't many people left who would care. Oren-san would, because of that kind of amusing obsession he has with Takatora, but that's not what niisan needs right now.

...Zack would care. Because it's important to Micchi. He's been gently letting Micchi know if he wants anything, needs anything, if he wants to come back to the Beat Riders - it's all possible. Micchi stares down at his phone for a moment before dialing Zack's number for the first time.

Zack's heart aches when he hears Micchi saying that the ways in which his brother hurt him don't matter anymore. As if the things he's done have been so awful that he deserves anything he gets now. Zack knows that feeling all too well.

Maybe it's time for him to let Micchi know that.

"Micchi..." Zack clenches his hands together to keep them from shaking. "I need you to know something. I'm not trying to make this about me, I just. I have to tell you." He braces himself to say out loud the horrible thing he'd done, the thing he hasn't had to say to any of the other Beat Riders because they all knew already. "After Kaito became an Overlord, I." Zack swallows hard around the lump that's forming in his throat. "I tried to kill him. My best friend, the guy who trusted me most in the world, and I tried to kill him." He shakes his head sadly. "I ended up killing Minato-san instead. I never meant to, but her blood's on my hands all the same." Zack's voice is quavering now, but he knows Micchi needs to hear the rest. "And after that, Kaito fought me, but... he let me live. Even though I betrayed him, even though I killed Minato-san, Kaito let me live. And I'm never gonna know why he didn't just kill me."

Zack looks over at Micchi with a heavy heart. "You're not alone, Micchi," he says softly. "You're not the only one who's carrying this pain. That's what I've wanted to tell you all this time. I don't have an answer for it, and maybe there isn't one. But I know how much it hurts. You're not alone."

Zack is so afraid, in those first silent moments after he finishes talking, that even this won't be enough to break through the wall Micchi has built around himself. But then Micchi lifts his hand to reach over and lay it on top of Zack's, and there's a soft warmth where their skin is touching. Zack isn't alone either.

Zack raises one thumb to brush it lightly against Micchi's hand, to return the gesture as best he can right now. "I know you must be so scared right now," he says. "About what's gonna happen the next time you see your brother. And I sure can't make any promises about how it'll turn out, but... I want to go with you. I'll give you guys privacy if you'd rather talk without me there, but I want to go to the hospital with you, so whatever happens, you'll know you're still not alone. Will you let me do that for you, Micchi?"
