Guess this should be said before the story starts.

I want to thank all of the readers who either voted or commented or shared this short story or done all three. We authors really depend on you readers.

I also hope you have gained new insights on the victims of bullying and choose to stop bullying. It can't be stopped because it's an endless vicious cycle but what we can most probably do is to reduce the cases of bullying. What may seem like fun to one may not be fun to the other.

Well, about the relatively harsh remarks on society, I hope you can rethink about it.

So, what kind of an impact does this story have on you? Feel free to comment here!

To all those who have read or are reading this and you or someone you know have suicidal thoughts or have inflicted self-harm upon yourselves, please know that you are beautiful. Your flaws don't define you, neither are you useless as others claim so. You are all beautiful inside out.

But you're not alone. There are others who are just like you, living, breathing and coping. Stand up for yourself. If you're a victim of bullying like Tsu, please do not succumb to suicide. Understand that emotional pain and physical pain are pains of different magnitude and cannot be compared. Your so-called transfer of pain is invalid because there is no transfer but only accumulation.

Don't give up so easily. Persevere because you know we're all by your side, be it physically or emotionally. Persevere because you know no one can be you and do the job for you. Persevere because you know others out there are fighting suicide and the dangers in their lives.

Bullying is just one of the many reasons why people would commit suicide. You may find some things darkly humorous through the use of the nicknames. Or things can be as direct, sharp and incisive as we look for a viable solution.

Find someone you're comfortable to talk and confide to. They will surely understand where you're coming from.

Think twice, if not thrice or more, before you do anything that steals your right to live humanely from you. Don't let bullies shake your ground because you stand firmer than these cowards.

Lastly, this is dedicated to the author of Split, CottonCandyMe whose story has inspired me to write this story. Thank you for writing this story and thank you for spreading the message. Let's hope our heartfelt messages can go out to everyone out there living and breathing.

Of course, another anime or manga that have sparked my inspiration to write this very story Flicker:

Orange
Inu Yashiki (somehow related)
Assassination Classroom

Well, that's about it for now. This book is also entered in the Short Story category of the Pokémon Watty Awards!

P.S. the poem used is by Yeats, "The Widening Gyre". I changed it a little to fit the setting.
