You didn't really know why you felt so angry, but there you were, walking away from Momo, feeling the frustration stuck in your throat every time you saw Jiji smile strangely and do something stupid, as if the world revolved only around your childhood friend. Momo and Jiji had such a natural connection, and even though you knew she only saw him as a best friend, the idea that Seiko, Momo's grandmother, had referred to that idiot as "Momo's first love" never left your head. But the worst of all was having shown up at the wrong place at the wrong time and having seen Momo and Jiji sleeping sitting up, hugging each other.

That was the last straw.

You disappeared from all the places where you usually saw her, isolating yourself from social life and allowing insecurity to take over. The feeling of being just another empty place in Momo's heart made each encounter more painful. Before you met her, you were just a "friendless nerd" who believed in aliens, and who would look up at the sky all day hoping that these beings would be your friends if you met them, while Momo was popular and surrounded by friends, and who believed in spirits. Jiji was a complete idiot. With that ridiculous and childish behavior, with his apparent seriousness that hid only immaturity, he was nothing more than a distant shadow of the truth. But for you, it seemed easier to hide, repressing the pain with negative thoughts while drowning in this sea of ​​insecurities that you believed would never be understood.
