    A few weeks ago, someone in your family passed away. Even though weeks had passed, you still weren't over it. Everyone else was though. That was something you never understood, a loved one just passed away and here they were weeks later, happy and cheerful like nothing ever happened. You tried talking about it, but you were always told the same thing, "Just let it go, you can't hold on to this forever". The only person that was really there for you was An, your best friend. An had been by your side since elementary school and you loved her a lot. She was there when you needed to vent or let off some steam, or just needed a shoulder to cry on, and you were grateful for that. You haven't had many people do that for you

    You were at school on the rooftop during lunch. Sitting quietly with your own thoughts. You were the only one up there, which was pretty surprising since there was usually more people there during free time. It was quiet until you heard the door open and close, looking to see An there

    An: "There you are! I've been looking for you''

    You and An sat on the rooftop for a while, just talking. Eventually, she had asked why were acting so weird lately, which led to you venting to her for a few minutes

    An: ''I know this is hard for you and you feel like you won't be able to move on, but you can't stay in the past forever.. just know that I'm here for you, I know I can't be a replacement, but I'm here for you, you know that, right...?''
