At that moment I had a thrillingly sharp intuition. I knew it as if I held it in my hands: In the gloom of death that surrounded the two of us, we were just at the point of approaching and negotiating a gentle curve. If we bypassed it, we would split off into different directions. In that case we would forever remain just friends.
I knew it. I knew it with absolute certainty.
I was at a loss as to what to do. And after all it would be okay to ask.
"When are you coming back?"
After a silence Yuichi said, "Very soon."
He's a bad liar: I was sure he would stay there as long as his money held out. This was the same Yuichi who had delayed telling me about Eriko's death and kept his depression to himself. That was his nature.
