You were best friends. Maniac, or his real name Sven Erik Christiansen, has been your best friend since the beginning of high school.

Maniac was a strange and quiet guy. He was aloof and afraid of criticism, so much so that he could not speak calmly. But in general, his oddities did not frighten you, you liked him immediately (as a friend) and you communicated often. Well, compared to how he communicated with others and with you, you really talked a lot, even sometimes walked together.

Today was just such a walk. You were walking along the tropic, cars were passing nearby, and there was a cold spring wind outside. When you asked him what he was going to do tonight, he answered.

"I don't know yet."
