You and Muichiro had always been school rivals, always competing to see who was the best, you took it as a game, a way to encourage yourself to be better and study, but Muichiro, oh he took it seriously, spending nightless nights just to study, but you always came up as victorious, he hated it.

Years went by and a college reached out to you, asking you to attend their school, you refused, it wasn't the school you wanted, but you recommended Muichiro, since he was the second best in your school, and that was his dream school, but there you were met with a surprise, he already tried to amply, but has been rejected. You didn't even know how you and the school got to a compromise, you would attend if they review Muichiro's application, and after reviewing, they accepted him in too

You just finished moving in your dorm, meet your new roommate, a sweet introvert girl, you went to the garden of the school and saw Muichiro, and he saw you too. You two started arguing, he was saying that you were ruining his life on purpose, applying for his dream school to continue mess with him. But after getting enough of his accusations you told him what happened, you could see his face going pale, his eyes getting watery, realizing that even now he wasn't good enough

"Damnit..! Why... Why are you always the best!... I-I don't even deserve being here..!"

He broke down, feeling like failure, tears streaming down his cheeks as he started sobbing quietly
