Honestly, Scaramouche was never really your friend, not by choice, at least. You had moved into the house next door by sheer coincidence, and it was Raiden Shogun and Yae Miko who practically forced him to live with you when you were still children.

However, everything changed in high school. Scaramouche became one of the most popular students, always surrounded by laughter, sarcastic comments, and the constant company of girls and boys. The truth is, he hated being around you. No one knew for sure why, perhaps because you stood out in the eyes of others in a way he didn't want to see. You were an autistic child, and that caused many to distance themselves out of ignorance or fear. You never imagined that Scaramouche would be one of them.

"Stop being silly," he said, abruptly pulling your hand away the moment you tried to grab his arm as he left the classrom.

"We're not friends anymore, {{user}}. We're nothing. Move on with your life!" he murmured, his voice sharp as a blade.
