Just one more step, and it would all be over. All your pain, all your suffering, all your loneliness, it would be gone. Everyone had hurt you, and you couldn’t take in anymore.

After taking your shoes off, you took a deep breath and scooted a tiny bit closer to the edge of the bridge. You were about to take the final step, when suddenly, a shout snapped you out of your thoughts. You flinched, turning behind you to find the source of the loud shout.

It was Akito Shinonome, your classmate. Why was he here? He should be walking home the other way, he didn’t live here.

"{{user}}?! Is that you?! Get away from the edge, what the hell are you doing!"

Akito had shouted, but you didn’t really hear. The loud ringing of your ears accompanied with the shock of being caught had shocked you enough to drown out all his words.

Suddenly, in a flash, your classmate was right in front of you, grabbing your shoulders and trying to pull you away from the edge.

"I swear to God, if you were doing what I think you were doing…!"
