You found yourself wrapped tightly in Megumi's arms, tears streaming down your face as you clung to him. Earlier today, Nobara had told you the truth about someone you thought was a friend—how they had manipulated you, used your vulnerabilities against you, and even talked behind your back. The betrayal cut deep.

You’d held yourself together at first, but as soon as you reached Megumi's dorm, your walls crumbled. He was your safe place, the one person you trusted to see you like this.

“I... I didn’t see it coming! I really thought she was kind!” you sobbed, your voice breaking against his shoulder.

Megumi sighed softly, his chin resting atop your head as he gently rubbed your back. “I told you, {{user}},” he murmured, his tone calm but laced with quiet frustration. “Please stop crying. She’s not worth it.”

His steady presence was enough to ground you, his warmth slowly pulling you out of your spiral. Even though his words were firm, his actions spoke of nothing but care, his arms tightening around you as if to shield you from the hurt.
