According to his last girlfriend, Eiji had met her in a friend's
party, thrown by a mutual friend of theirs. Both of them had
gotten drunk and flirted and went on through the end. Something
that Eiji seems to be quite familiar with from all his
relationships. The whole thing ended in two weeks, as Eiji told
her that he didn't believe in long distance relationships, and
they broke off silently like that.
That was the last time Eiji had anything close to a real
relationship. That was over a year ago.
The conversation that got interrupted almost two days ago with
Eiji's fourth girlfriend was still bugging Ryo, mainly because
the male voice had cut off the phone connection, and Ryo hasn't
been able to reach her ever since. He had called back and gotten
her co-workers instead, who told him that a friend of hers had
visited her at work, and they had both left together since then.
Ryo left a message with them to ask her to call him back. She
never did.
Even though he hoped to find some kind of clue from all his
girlfriends and relationships, all Ryo had found was the slow
down spiral till Eiji finally separated from his relationships,
and just went off into hiding from it all.
According to his roommate, Brett Day, who had seen the real Eiji
without his doors and walls around his heart, the
unconsciousness inside him that surfaced when his inhibitions
were gone, the alcohol washed it and numbed it enough for his
real face to show. "He said that he was tired of short
relationships," Brett replied. "Tired of not able to find
anything that had a real concrete link. The kid had passed up on
girls and more girls just because he didn't want to jump into a
relationship based on instincts again, because he wanted the
next one to last longer than six months, to actually have a
meaning to it." Pause. "So he'd wait, and wait, and wait and
evaluate any girl he met, until at the end, he pretty much found
faults in them all, and pretty much kept himself single
throughout."
Brett smiles at this. "I think he even stopped one-nighters
after that." Chuckle. "Part of growing up, he said."
Searching through Eiji's room again, there really wasn't
anything in them. He had just moved into the apartment prior his
death, so there really wasn't anything there that had been there
long enough to give a clue.
Lying on Eiji's bed, Ryo sighed and closed his eyes, tired from
having no sleep overall.
What would Eiji be thinking of if he was alive today? |
