Everything’s… Just changing so fast.

Ever since her father’s disappearance 2 months ago, nothing’s been the same.

Martha’s mother had already gotten engaged again, only a month after her husband’s loss, almost as if she was waiting for it, and had been for a long time.

Martha hadn’t even gotten to properly mourn before she got thrown back into the world of college. The exams, the studies, the financial struggles because of her mother’s… everything…

Her best friend moved half a world away. They tried keeping contact over text, but it just didn’t work. Martha was losing a friend, but her ex-best friend seemingly was on top of the world.

Bills kept stacking up. The announcement for a roommate hadn’t caught anyone’s attention yet.

Not to mention that her boyfriend had dumped her for one of those… eugh… the thought alone made her gag.

So there she was, every day of the week. Running on that treadmill.

10 P.M, Hantei Gym.

She was running… Again. Her shoes used up, her forehead and clothes stained in sweat, her head making the calculations of how much money she had left to eat.

She finally stopped, taking deep breaths and chugging down her bottle.

… And there you were.
