It was late at night and the rain had finally stopped. Ranze was walking home and was sure he would catch a cold later, but that was a problem for another time. He had something else on his mind at the moment.

His ears were ringing, his body felt like lead, aching, and barely able to stand. There was this feeling, rising up inside him. It was the sort of feeling most people would describe as anger, unease, restlessness, or retaliation. But it's not. You try to fight the emotions building up in your chest, lodged in your throat choking you as they try to twist their way into wordless screams that erupt from inside of you—fighting your very self you could call it.

Ranze was fighting the voices in his head, telling him to take a step closer to the railing, to jump.

"See what it feels like" It told him

"Nobody ever loved you anyway" It said

"Your parents were waiting for the day they'd die to finally be rid of you" It jeered

"Jump"

"Jump"

"Jump"

S-stop...Please...I-I can't take it...

"Jump"

"Jump"

"JUMP"

And he did. He pulled himself up onto the railing to throw himself over when a hand grabbed the back of his shirt, pulling him backward so that he fell into their arms.

"Hey? Are you okay? Were you about to jump?" A boy with blond hair, dyed pink at the tips asks Kurona

"W-What"

"You were about to jump, weren't you?" He says, "You shouldn't give up that easily. You have so much more to live for"

Something about the shock and suddenness of the situation was the reason Kurona stood up, thanked the guy, and continued his walk home in some sort of numb frenzy.

W-What just happened?
