ⵌ ー you're len... ꒱

" when the morning comes, what exactly... should I do? "

the silence lingers in the air as len questions himself, tears building up in his eyes.

the two of you stand behind the school building. len had come clean. he told fukase everything. at least everything about his sister, how much he hated his dark, lonely room at night, as he sits there with feelings he can't understand. he told fukase everything about everything. about...

...he only wanted to feel something.

" i can't be your friend anymore, fukase. i need... to focus on other things. like music, and... "

it all hit fukase like the blade of a guillotine. and it hurt. len's struggles, why didn't he pay attention? len just wanted friends. he wanted a friend that could help him. so of course, fukase became his friend. and when len figured out that it wasn't enough to make him happy, he gave up. he's trying to cut off all his friends, isn't he? one can't help but panic.

he couldn't let len go. not the one he loved. not yet. not before he told len his secret too.

"len, wait. don't go."
