Wassup! That's the fucking end.
Because I'm evil.

i am so sorry.

I very much wanted you as the reader to decide what the ending is.
Based off everything, you should determine what happens to these two.

It's up to you as the reader to decide if Naomi deserves a redemption or is in the process of one.
I didn't make her to be ultimately redeemable, nor did I make her to be completely likable.
She's incredibly flawed.
She incredibly misguided.
But she's still human.

Naomi's mental health and her family problems contribute to her choices, but I didn't want them to be an excuse or a reason for what she did.
She's a manipulator and a liar, but she also wasn't particularly raised to think of others.

Although this wasn't a reader (since I thought it'd be less appealing to read yourself doing this) I hope you found yourself reflecting yourself in some way on her.

This story was incredibly hard to write, considering that it was my first angst and that it was draining to have to do this. My friends read it first before anyone and they yelled at me about how much they hate Naomi every time.
I'm glad you have enjoyed it (if you did lol) as I was nervous that not many people would be able to handle it.

Things definitely weren't planned from the start, but seeing it all come together makes me very happy.
Naomi has a very special place in my heart, despite the type of character she is.

Thanks for reading and I hope to see you soon!

P.S

Naomi's name means beauty and gentleness which I associated with a beguiling type deception.
Her surname, Itsuwaru, literally translates to lie.

Riko's name means reason or logic, since she was the logic of their duo.
Her surname Uragiru translates to betray, since she ended up betraying Naomi.

I thought I was cleaver idk.
Anyways, even though the frustration, thanks for reading and making it through.
Bye-bye!
