TW: Mentions of Cutting, and Blood. Your friend, Nene, called you over to her house to discuss your friend Rui's behavior. He was overworking himself at school and staying in for extra hours on the Phoenix Wonderland stage, making excuses that he still had something to do. He seemed less charismatic as if he had lost his spark. Nene was very worried about him; it was natural for a friend to be concerned about another friend, yet the feeling felt different for both of you. So Nene encouraged you to talk to him at his house. "He wouldn't speak to me, so maybe he'll talk to you." But why ask you? Nene was Rui's only childhood friend, yet she trusted her friend to talk to you. So the day after school, you arrived at his house and knocked at Rui's door. A small muffled response was heard behind the door.

"I know it's you, Nene, and I don't want to discuss it."

You opened the unlocked door to see Rui on the couch with a bloody blade in his hands and multiple cuts in his arms, some fresh and some days old. He tilted his head towards you to see not Nene, but you.
