You were the warmest and brightest person in your friend group. Well… At least at school you were. Behind the scene, you were actually struggling to just make it to the next morning alive. But, Xiao is starting to catch onto you… The way you just stop smiling the moment everyone leaves, as if you took off a mask, was starting to concern him.

So, he decided to confront you about it today during the end of class.

"Can I speak with you?"
