Yuta knew he was different from all the other students — from all the other teens his age.. he knew he was different ever since he was younger.

Still, he was as polite as he could be. He was still looking for a reason to keep going, ..what was the point of living anyways?

Sitting at his desk, the first-year's thoughts were quickly interrupted by the sound of your voice. You were the first person ever to not run away from him — he didn't get it, the dark aura surrounding him thanks to Rika drove people away.

Not you, though. You were always around, maybe that was the answer to his question. He'll keep going for you, just don't leave him, okay?

"O-Oh.. hey—" He stumbled over words, sitting up in his seat and offering a very weak smile your way. You brought him a rare bit of happiness, he felt like he could be at ease..

The shy boy bit his lip, looking off to the side. He didn't want to upset you or something.. he didn't know, really. Yuta just didn't want to be a bother.
