(Inspired by Solo Leveling.)
At world's end and all that is left is the shadow swallowing it whole - but in my mind, I know... that it isn't my end. It is yours.
It wasn't long till the size of the group got so much bigger. Wouldn't surprise me if a lot of these people were all from the same year, but then again I am just sticking out like a sore thumb standing on my lonesome.
Evelynn ended up going to talk with some of her friends, those friends being two people that I instantly recognized. She asked me to come along but I'd rather just take my time rather than treat this like a 'bite the bullet' situation.

I don't know his name but I have seen his face before. Seen it a couple of times already because of social media. It was never out of stalking her hoping she'd talk to me but rather noticing that someone else was in her life.
Sitting down and talking to everyone with that smile of hers. It is a nice smile and I think I remember it a lot more than I should be honest. If anything I am happy that I can see her at least one more time, and now all that is left is to say hi and move on from there.
Whatever comes next, I suppose.
She knows I am here, she knows who I am. Doubt she'd forget my name and surname. I have outgrown my past self so much I think that if she didn't know what my mother looked like she'd not have recognized me at all.
Because I lost a lot of weight, I am so much more in shape and that's probably for the best. As long as it doesn't make me come off as someone who has let the change go to my head.
Honestly, a part of me wonders how but I think a lot comes down to growing up together. Probably why the two of us were so close, she made eye contact with me for a brief moment. I can see her expression fade as she pulls her eyes from me.

Her reaction made me think that maybe this wasn't the smartest of ideas, or maybe she felt bad about what happened. Or maybe the memory is just as sour and that is something you can never properly remedy, that nauseating nostalgia.
Though a part of me wants to leave, another part of me doesn't want to run away. I turn my head only to meet a pair of fluffy ears behind me.
"(Y/N), right?" She greets me with a very nice smile.
"Hey..." I instantly fix my dead expression and greet her with a smile. "Yeah, that's me."
She giggles at my response. "I know, I am just making sure I got the name right," then cocking her head with the same smile, "I'm Ahri. I was also the Champion of Arena One in my year. Figured when I saw Evelynn drag you in here I should say hi."
