Start part A
*Walking*
Ashley: My legs are starting to hurt...
Zack: Hm? Wanna sit somewhere?
Ashley: Yes, please...
Zack leads Ashley to a nearby bench they sit beside each other.
Ashley: Y'know... The squirrel left.
Zack: Did it?
Ashley nods.
Zack: Wow...
Ashley: He wanted to prepare for winter or something.
Zack: I get it.... Maybe...
Ashley: Zack...?
Zack: Yeah?
Ashley: I hate myself so much...
Zack: Whoa! Are you okay?!
Ashley: I'm fine... I've just been thinking... What if one day you wake up from your coma and leave me behind?
...
Zack: I don't... Know...
Ashley: I wish... I never got put into a coma...
Zack: Hey, it's not like you wanted it...
...
Zack: You didn't... Right?
Ashley: Back when I was alive... I tried committing suicide...
...
Zack: I'm listening...
Ashley: I jumped off the fourth floor of my school. I thought that would kill me, but nope.
Zack: Ashley...
Ashley: I mean... I died anyway, but still...
Zack: So... What's the point of telling me this...?
Ashley: I was thinking... Of committing suicide.
Zack: P-please... Tell me you're kidding...
Ashley: I'm not...
...
Zack: Why would you... Want to do that...?
Ashley: Well... You're the only person I really know here...
Start part B
...
Zack: That's not true! There's Mofu! Even that stupid squirrel!
Zack holds Ashley's hand.
Zack: People care about you... Don't think otherwise... Please... I need you.
...
Ashley: I'll... Try...
Zack: Don't try... Please do it! Stay with me!
...
Ashley: I'll see... Okay?
Zack: Fine... Just if you ever need to talk... You can talk to me.
Ashley: I'll try...
Zack: Please promise me!
...
Ashley: I promise if I ever need to talk to you, I will.
Zack: Thank you...
Ashley: Yeah...
Later that night...
Zack walks back to his apartment and throws himself onto his bed.
...
The only noise that can be heard is the air conditioner and Zack's slow breathing.
Zack: Ashley... Wants to commit suicide...? What do I do besides telling her not to... And comforting her...?
Meanwhile, in Ashley's apartment...
...
Ashley: "He looked as if he wanted to cry... I made him worry... I should've kept it to myself...! I'm sorry, Zack... But I can't keep our promise..."
She thought as she got on her feet and filled her tub with water.
Ashley: Please... Stop me... Save me, Zack...
As soon as the tub is full, Ashley holds her face under the water.
Ashley: "Zack... Please stop me... Save me...! I can't breathe... Save me from these thoughts... Save me!"
She thought.
Soon, her body squirms for air, but she forces her head to stay in the water.
Ashley: I'm scared...! I can't move! I can't breathe! Help!! Zack, please save me from this! Save me from these thoughts! I love you! Is that what you want?! Save me!!!"
...
Soon, life fades from her eyes, and she stops moving entirely, leaving the apartment eerily silent.
