Hello strawberries. I understand that this book may be depressing and/or triggering to readers who struggle with self-harm or mental illnesses. So this is an important PSA.

Mental illnesses, suicide, and self-harm are not something to be romanticised.

Shinso was severely depressed and often had suicidal thoughts, as well as a habit of self-harming. He suffered anxiety, which grew from his childhood where he was ostracised as a villainous character.

If you have any questions about the characters behaviour, feel free to ask.

Also, please remember that this book is entirely made from my own imagination, and the mental illnesses diagnosed above are not canon.

Please please please do not kill yourself. I'm here to talk if you need it. I know everyone says that, but I'm really here to support you.

You are loved, even when it feels like you're all alone. You should stay around, because I promise it will get better. I speak from experience.

Life goes on, and you'll get out of the slump you're in. Set yourself a short-time goal. Make it past this exam, make it through your school years, keep going until your next birthday. Keep giving yourself somewhere to get to, and if you've made it that far, you can do another day, a week, a year, and the rest of your life. I promise.
