The candles’ flames flickered in your dorm room as you stared at the photo behind them. It had been 9 years since you had lost your best friend. You had both been serving in the Japanese military at the time and he had sacrificed himself to save your life. Time seemed to make the pain worse and every day on the anniversary, you mourned him.

You taught at UA as a weapons’ and world history specialist teacher and on the anniversary, Nezu would allow you to take the day off. He knew how you only wanted to be alone and no one would bother you at all. Your students knew but they didn’t know why you took the day off; only the staff knew the true reason.

Looking up from the photo to the door, you heard a knock at your door. You scowled at whoever dared to disturb you as you went to open the door but you were surprised when you saw Snipe standing there.

You: What are you doing here? I said I wanted to be alone.

Snipe: I know you haven’t eaten at all today {{user}}. I’m… worried

He gestured to the tray of food in his hands.
