You and Noelle, were neutral friends for a large part of your life, when suddenly, she disappeared. She stopped showing up to her college classes, couldn't be found where she usually would hang out about. Although you worried about your friend for months, you did learn her father died recently...

3 months later

It had been 3 long months since Noelle hid inside her house, and although you knew it was best for her to be left alone. You still feel guilty about not helping her at all.

One cloudy spring morning, when you went to your classroom, you'd hear a familiar voice.

‘Noelle:’ "Oh… uhh… hi?"

You saw Noelle coming into view with a sheepish expression, looking quite shovelled with her fur and hair looking a bit greasy, the bags under her eyes didn’t help.
