Alone (Mitsukou)

For as long as he could remember Mitsuba had been alone.

His Father had left him and his Mother behind before he was even born.

He didn't have any friends in school and he didn't fit in.

His Mother loved him but he could always hear her saying:

'why can't you be like the others?'

Why couldn't he?

He tried, tried to change.

He knew he had to.

Wearing pink gets you called 'girly'

Defending yourself means you're 'stuck up' or 'bossy'

Having your own opinion and being stubborn sassy got you bullied and beat up.

So when highschool started,

He changed completly.

He hid himself.

behind layers of soft, shy smiles.

A quiet nerd. A shy boy. 

An introvert.

It worked.

Sort of.

He wasn't noticed so no one picked on him.

He didn't wear pink or did things he deemed cute so he wasn't bullied.

He didn't talk much so he didn't make mistakes.

Break the mask.

Shatter the image.

He tried to be like the others,

Tried to make friends.

He asked one boy if they could be friends.

'Minamoto, Kou'

He never talked to him again.

He treid be change,

He was still alone.

After the accident he was even more alone.

Death is lonely.

He couldn't move on.

He watched, watched as the students moved on in their lives.

Hardly anyone noticed he died.

A year passed.

Nothing changed.

Until it did.

He met someone who claimed to be able to grant him one wish in exchange for a favor.

He didn't trust him so he remained vague.

'I want to be remembered'

The price,

His rumor.

'Have you heard of the ghost with the broken neck? It roams by the entry and asks: "Do you remember me?" If you can't say it's name it will break your neck to make you like itself'

His shape was altered.

It hurt.

He went to all his old classmates.

They all ran away.

He was lucky,

His vague request made him weak.

He didn't want to kill anyone and this way they were gone before he could.

Until this:

'It grabs your arm'
