Shuichi was extremely worried about Ryuichi, who stayed away for several nights and searched the streets of Tokyo by himself. The day of the press conference was getting closer. Ryuichi had discussed with Toma that he would largely answer all questions. The Nittle Grasper singer didn't look healthy at all. He had deep dark circles under the eyes, his skin was pale, his eyes had lost all shine and he had lost weight. Although his daughter had been gone a fortnight now, he did not give up hope.

Toma sat in his office and worked on the piles of paper that piled up on his desk. K burst into the office all of a sudden. "Toma! Turn on the TV!" K shouted in perfect Japanese. The blonde producer was shocked and threw two piles of paper on the floor. He then looked for the remote control and switched on the device. "Why such a hoopla?" Asked Toma and tried to put the papers back on the desk.
"We report exclusively for you, ladies and gentlemen. The cremated body of a child was found this morning at half past ten. It is believed that it is the daughter of the famous singer, Sakuma Ryuichi," said the reporter in the box. Toma looked spellbound at the screen. "Tell me this is not true," he whispered softly. K was only silent as an answer. "Ryuichi will definitely be on the way here and not have seen it, we have to tell him before the conference starts.", Toma said calmly. "So you mean that the press is right?" Asked Noriko. She was standing at the door frame and had noticed everything. Toma got up slowly. "I don't know, but we have to tell him.", He said as he passed Noriko. This followed him and K also followed.

Ryuichi arrived exhausted and tired at NG-Records, he could already see from a distance that Toma and Noriko were waiting for him. "Good morning.", The green-haired one managed to say. "Good morning my sugar baby.", Noriko said to him." Ryuichi, I have to talk to you in private. "Toma said calmly." We have to do that after the conference, we're pretty late. "With that he walked past the three of them and to the conference room." Ryuichi! Wait! "Toma ran after him. The whole room was full of curious reporters. Ryuichi was already sitting at the table and looked at Toma and Noriko expectantly. The two sighed and went forward. Toma spoke up." I want to thank you for her appeared so numerous. You are welcome to send your questions to Mr. Sakuma now. "After this torrent of speech, Toma sat down to the left of Ryuichi. Noriko sat to the right of the singer." Sakuma-san, what do you think of the latest news? "Ryuichi looked at Toma questioningly and then answered the question." I am currently not aware of these, as I was recently on the road. "" Then I'll let you know quickly. It is said that the cremated child's body that was found is her daughter. "For a moment there was no movement in Ryuichi's face." If this is really the case, our search would then be over and we would have to admit it to ourselves. ", K said from the door frame. Ryuichi slowly began to tremble. Toma noticed this quickly." Since this news depresses us all too deeply, I am postponing the press conference here, I will send you the new date. I ask her to go now. "said Toma into the microphone.

Noriko, Ryuichi and Toma left the room. At the top of Toma's office, Ryuichi collapsed in tears. K put him on the couch. Noriko took him gently in her arms. "Just let it all out.", She said and gently stroked his back. "Where is he ?!" Shuichi shouted as he ran through the door. Toma just pointed to the couch. The Bad Luck singer slowly approached Ryuichi. Noriko got up and released Ryuichi. The little pink-haired one took him gently in his arms. "It's good, I'm with you."Ryuichi wanted to say something, but couldn't get a sound out. His voice stayed away, even Shuichi never made him speak again.
