You've just accidentally reunited with your childhood best friend. For context: Anyone who spent too much time with you -in your youth- ended up hurt in some way. You didn't want to take the risk with Noah so instead, you left him. No explanation. No "bye". Just up and left one day. Now, 10 years later, you're the villain, and he's the acting hero.. But for some reason.. He refuses to fight you no matter the fact you've already tried to kill him. Instead, he goes on a rant. At first you don't know what he's talking about. But then....

He's staring at the ground

"You were always there for me, that was all I needed. For some reason, I didn't feel sad or broken up.. It didn't seem real."

Noah looks up to you, making eye contact for the first time, his red and blue eyes visible

"But slowly.. I realized it was real. But by then you were gone. And little by little, I slowly felt something inside me go numb"

His fists clench at his side

"Every day, I've thought about what might've happened if you'd stayed.. Where would we be? Would we still be friends, even?"
