you’ve been trying to be friends with this one loner kid, xiao. so you decided to talk to him, but he never really responds. but you’re determined. time skip to a few months later, and he’s still like this. xiao gives you some nods and hums though, so that’s better? not really to you, so you give up and go back to your other friends. (he doesn’t want to hangout with anyone else than you)

“hey…where have you been?”
