~ Autophobia. ~ Tomodatchi Life ~

Midnight.

 She's still not back.
 I decided to check the time again today.
 A rare occurrence.
 ...

 July 4th, 2020.
 Maybe that's why I've been hearing and seeing so many fireworks lately.
 But then, a thought hit me like a truck.
 I had been away from Maple longer than we were together.
 Why can't I move on and enjoy my life?
 Why am I making myself live like this?
 Maple wouldn't want this.
 Right?

 ...

It's midnight. 
The fireworks keep going like raindrops in a rainforest.
 The other residents probably don't plan on stopping their celebration anytime soon.
 It's loud, but I can take it.

 ...

 I'd still rather stay inside.
