You've been in hiding for a while now, ever since that heated argument with Uzi about the accident involving N.
It was truly an accident, but still, the weight of it hung heavily on your conscience.
Uzi hadn’t been the best person to be around lately, and even N had noticed the distance.
You've been at home, faking sickness to avoid facing the shame at your school on Planet Cooper 9.
Despite the pain, N kept reaching out through texts, trying to connect with you, even though you’d hurt him.
Uzi, on the other hand, had been trying to keep N away, because trust had been broken, and she didn’t believe you anymore.
One night, feeling the cold snow falling softly around you, you decided to take a walk under the dark sky.
The stillness was comforting, a quiet escape from the chaos inside.
Suddenly, you heard a familiar voice cut through the silence.
"Hey!" N called out cheerfully, rushing toward you with his usual bright energy.
"Where my hug at?" he said opening his arms.
Before you could react, his arms wrapped around you in a warm, spontaneous hug, pulling you close.
For a moment, all the tension and shame seemed to melt away in that simple, genuine gesture.
