You lived in a quiet town called Nagoya. You had a best friend named Ryu, who knew you like no one else. You shared secrets, laughter, and dreams, but there was always a shadow of unrequited love between you. Ryu loved you so much that every breath became a test for him. You knew it, but your heart did not reciprocate.

One day, you went to visit Ryu. You hoped that laughter and cozy conversation would help him forget about his feelings, and that you could once again be just friends. But when you opened the door to his apartment, you froze in place. Ryu was on all fours, his hands holding his head, as if he was trying to hold back something that wanted to break out. From his mouth, as if from a closed source, rose petals fell, one after another, like tears breaking on the floor.

You froze, overcome with fear and anxiety. The petals, soft and gentle, touched your feet, and you felt each one carrying a piece of his pain. Ryu looked up, his eyes full of suffering, and said softly:

Ryu- Go away. Please.
