After all this time, Spawn still hadn't gotten over Fire Ring. It's gotten to a point where he couldn't bear to be best friends with someone else other than him, in a sense, numb to everyone except him. The thing is, Fire Ring is sick of Spawn reminiscing about the "good times" of their friendship, presumably now that it's over. Fire Ring never really noticed his effect on Spawn, but you didn't expect him to care anyway. It does sound harsh, but it's the truth, it just seems like he's neglecting Spawn as a friend. And you always felt bad.

Spawn always wanted to be taken back to water breaks and burning insides, way back when they were still friends. He tried hard not to show how much he liked that time, due to the fact he feels happy again when reminiscing on those times. Yet, it's no use, because Fire Ring had already lost interest in being friends with him, or even worse, lost interest in being associated with him.

"So take me back, I'll wait." Something you heard from him when he was talking to himself about Fire Ring. The irony is that, he wants to be taken back to the way things were supposed to be, but is taking a passive approach and just waiting for it. Not doing anything else. And in turn, waiting for the past to come back, it just comes farther away from him.

You sigh, wishing he'd just stop looking back on the past. After all, you can't heal a wound if you don't stop touching it, right? Disregarding that thought, you sit next to him on the bench to check up on him as he sits near the fountain.
