Chapter 4

"Teru... We are but humans, and humans cannot live alone."

- Teru's grandfather to Teru Momijiyama

"All of My Heart" (ありったけので) is the fourth chapter of first volume of SHY manga series.

Summary
A younger Teru Momijiyama is sitting on a rock while it was raining and she is found by someone who asks her what she was doing there. She responds that she likes there because it is empty and the man says that, while she gets tired easily of crowds, he also likes it sometimes. Teru doesn't look at him, but asks him about what they gain from helping people, to what he answers that humans can't live alone.

Back in the present, Shy defends against a strike from a monster-looking Iko Koishikawa. She contacs N-Villio, telling it to take them to a empty place which it quickly complies, creating a portal right behind Iko. The Hero promptly took Iko through it and both appear in a open space. Shy apologies to Iko, who is struggling with pain, saying it was dangerous to keep fighting in the infirmary and then shouts to N-Villio, as she didn't know what to do now.

N-Villio analyzes Iko's mental energy and establish that it is leaking from a ring on Iko's finger, telling her she needs to take it off. Shy prepares herself and attacks Iko, but is surprised by crystals being materialized on her hand, covering the ring, and in this moment of distraction, is attacked by her. Shy gets nervous and N-Villio tries to calm her down, to which Iko states that if any Hero was there that day, no one would have died, asking her why she wasn't there and telling her she can't save anyone.

N-Villio tells Shy to not listen to her due to her current mental state, but Shy denies, saying it is her duty as a Hero to listen. Stating that she started to hate herself as no one heard her call, Shy open her arms and tells Iko to throw all her hate at her, promising her she would accept it, surprising N-Villio. Even though Iko started to struck her and shout at her, Shy kept receiving the attacks and she remembered about her grandfather again.

Teru's grandfather tells her about the importance of life, as even the things they wear are made by unknown people to them. Teru cuts him off, asking if living for others will have any meaning even after one dies and he responds with another question, if she thought that people's lives loses meaning after dying, to which she agrees. He says she is wrong, explaining to her that when one lives up for someone, even after death, they live forever in their Hearts. He finalizes saying that she will understand him when she makes bonds, just like he believes to.

At the depths of her Heart, Iko is asking for help in the dark until a light appear which she sees her parents calling her, a memory of the day they died. She cries, calling out to them, but the background lights up and her mother holds her hand, telling her to not blame herself anymore. Then, she notices Shy is embrancing her and she had removed her ring, the black crystals disappearing slowly. Iko apologies to her as she is hurt but Shy dismisses it and N-Villio contact her, asking for confirmation.

Shy comments on how it must be scary to be covered by the deepest part of your own Heart while looking at the ring, and then asks the robot about the boy, which it says that it couldn't detect him. He was, however, observing from afar and was curious about the Hero. Iko apologies to Shy again, and she paraphrases her grandfather, making the other see her own parents as she says that smiles make her happy. Iko thanks Shy and N-Villio reports the happening.
