I stood there, stunned.

"You'll always be alone!" Shuichi says. This took me completely by surprise. Of course, I decided to hide my hurt, it's just me being me.

"Meh, whatevs." Of course, deep down it wasn't just "meh". It hurts. Shuichi, the person I like, saying that I'll always be alone. This took a big impact on me. I wanted to cry. But I couldn't. I always made a wall for people not to break in. I always wanted to breakthrough, but I couldn't.

I'm back at my dorm. I quickly locked the door and slid down, tears starting to form.
Backstabber
It was too many emotions to take in. I sobbed quietly, not wanting anyone to hear. That wasn't the case.

There were two knocks on the door.

"Kokichi? Please let me come in." It's Kirumi? I wiped my tears away. Still sniffling, I managed to say some words.

"W-What do you want?" Shit! My voice cracked- She'll know that I was crying!

"Kokichi, please, let me come in." I hesitantly unlocked the door, still sniffling. There stood Kirumi.

"What do you wa-" before I could say anything she hugged me.

"You won't be alone Kokichi. Just know that I'll be here for you, alright?" When she said those words, tears were already starting to form. I looked down and hugged her back, tightly, crying to her chest. I always wanted to hear them. Those words. Words that no one has ever said to me. Words that meant a lot, even worth the world.

"Please, don't leave me."

"I won't. I'll be here for you." Kirumi's voice started to crack, "Know this Kokichi," she said, holding my shoulders so I was facing in front of her face "You are not alone." I noticed tears started falling down her eyes too, which caused me to sob more. I know that she means every single thing. I know...
that this isn't a lie but a truth.
