Jiro's hands were shaking as he poured 3 pills into his hand and took them. It's been a day since his father has been murdered. Hanae rubbed his back.
"Jiro, don't take too much of those."
"I-I don't know what do to anymore."
"What do you mean?"
"Shio and Aneko won't stop fighting... M-Mom won't stop fighting... I-I have no clue where Moriki has been going to since he found out... I-I have to comfort Hiroko 24/7 now... Everything is wrong... I think I'm starting to halucinate also... I'm going crazy..."
"It's ok Jiro... I'm here for you." She wrapped her arms around him and pulled him in close.
"DON'T TOUCH ME!" Jiro escaped her grasp stood up and looked down at her. She could see the fear in his eyes.
"S-Sorry."
"I don't know whats going on..." He dropped the bottle of pills. They spilled all over the floor.
"Jiro, just calm down, It's ok."
"Stop saying that... Stop saying I-It's ok. It's not ok. Nothing is ok. Life is not ok. My existence is not ok. I c-can't do this anymore." His vision got a little blurry. "M-My head is spinning..."
He took a step back and bumped into his desk. He fell onto the floor and looked over at Hanae. She stood up and ran over to him.
"J-Jiro. Just lay down and breathe." She panicked.
The door slammed open and Shio looked down at Jiro.
"Are you ok Jiro? What the hell? Who are you?" Shio's left eye glowed as he stared at her.
"I-I'm his friend. He started freaking out, I don't know what's going on."
Shio ran over to him and pushed her to the side. He put his hands on Jiro's cheeks.
"Jiro look at me. It's me, Shio. You're fine, you'll be fine." Shio pulled him up and wrapped his arms around him. "Just breathe. You're fine, buddy."
Hanae sat there and watched. She panted heavily.
"I-I'm gonna leave." She stood up and grabbed her bag then quickly left.
Shio stayed with Jiro until he got his mind back together.
Since that day, Hanae has been avoiding Jiro.
Her hanging body was found a month after.
