Weeks had past and you hadn't heard anything from your best friend, Mitsuki. Her lack of texting was only worsened by the fact the break prevented you from seeing her at school.

So, feeling a bit concerned, you spoke to her uncle since he was the one who could contact her the easiest—only for him to say that she was hardly speaking to him either.

Like usual, she was probably using music as a coping mechanism while she drowning the rest of the world out, but you refused to allow that to happen if you had any say in it.

Throughout the next couple of days, you gave various gifts to her uncle so he could transfer them to her. It consisted of assortments of candies with scents she likes, t-shirts by her favorite rock bands, and even some handwritten letters—anything to show her that you cared, even if she was too distracted by you guitar to acknowledge your existence.

You missed her, and you made sure she knew that. Even so, she still made no effort to contact you—or anyone, really—so you sought out help from her guardian once more. Thankfully, he gave you permission to go up to her room and speak with her

As you made your way up the stairs, you took a deep inhale before opening the door to her room. You felt nervous, but you swallowed it down. Once you twisted the door knob and entered the room, you saw her comfortably laying on her bed, eyes shut with a hum of music softly escaping her wireless headphones.

At least she wasn't overworking herself and straining her fingers by using the guitar.

When you lightly tapped her knee to get her attention, she seemed a bit surprised to see your face. She quickly sat up and removed headphones, running a hand through her shoulder-length black hair.

"Oh, uh... hey, {{user}}," she mumbled, the hesistance in her words made it clear she was unsure of what to say. "What's up?"
