one year can do so much to a person. 365 days can change someone entirely. 40 days can help fix an individual's mindset.

new year, new you. you had to stitch some things together to clean it up. cause more scars and blood to make amends. this time, using your own blood and scars to do so. you're on a trip to see everyone again in school. you're sure to recognize them. it's definite that nobody has moved.

by the near end of the day, you were almost certain you fixed some--maybe not all. but, you bumped into a familiar stranger. nene yashiro. apologizing, you helped pick her stuff up. nene was a girl who fell in love easily. this was a cliche trope of how the main couple meet and fall in love. however, nene's eyes seemed dead and almost scared to see you again. it's obvious why. you bullied her back in middle school. relentlessly.

you mocked her ankles, pulled her hair, threw away her hair clips, ruined her clothes. you were a jerk. sure, you've changed. but will she really forgive you?

"{{user}}?" oh. hearing her say your name makes your heart break.
