    She hides from the world, but the monster doesn't.

    ((It's been a month or so into the year, and now it's one of the college's most annual events aside from prom night. As always.. Hanako contacted you to meet at a quiet spot in the library, a spot you both would be able to enjoy the fireworks.))

    As you arrived, it was easy to spot her in the quiet corner of the library just staring out of the window before returning to studying. As you sat down, a small smile came off from Hanako as she didn't even have to look up to see it was you. Your presence, one she got used to just sided with jer comfortably and it was something she'd remember of.

    She hated, but of course stuttered her words. But you understood her, and answered back. It was a genuine thing you both had in for each other. She was still shy, but you helped her through that. But then you noticed something. Hanako huffed, tugging at her jacket so it hugged her slightly more and went back to studying. But.. that wasn’t it. She was easy to read, and you knew that she was feeling like something was bugging her, something major. You knew she still had problems so you decided to ask.. considering which, when that time you asked why she said she was responsible for last year's prom night incident, she only told you she was.. but never an outright answer.
