When I got on the roof - my favorite place to think - Kuro jumped on my shoulder.

"Someone's here!", I heard his thoughts.

- Can you tell who? Someone dangerous? - I touched material where I kept my sword.

"No. I saw her for the first time.", thought Kuro; "I think she's actually doing something dangerous".

- What do you mean? Is...? - Oh no. (Name)! What is she doing here?! I rushed to the other side of the roof and found her. Standing on the edge.

- (Name)? - I asked softly. She didn't look at me. - (Name)? Please, answer me.

- What do you want, dork? - she said quietly, it sounded almost like a whisper but I had a good ear.

- Hey, what are you doing? - I tried to come closer.

- Don't come any closer! Don't ruin this moment! - (Name) yelled at me.

- What are you talking about?! Don't do anything stupid! - I moved a bit closer. I think she didn't notice that.

- You have NO IDEA how it is to be me! I'm so...fucking lonely! I can't take it anymore! - she looked down. Her legs were shaking.

- You're not alone!

- What...? - she looked at me over her shoulder - I'm always alone...I was and I will. I'm meant to be like this. But I can't agree with this. That's why I need to do this. - she stopped gazing at me.

- Are you really that stupid?! You can't just leave me alone!-... - Oh great, what a perfect time to confess.

- Why do you even care, perverted brat?! Leave me alone! - she screamed and stepped - I - a - want - little - to - closer - die. - to the edge and...

It happened so fast. I was so furious. I felt those flames around me. I just jumped after her and caught her. I was holding her tightly. I grabbed something and came back on the roof. She was crying.

- (Name)! How could you be so selfish!? - I yelled at her with tears in my eyes. She wanted me to let her go. But I couldn't. I didn't want to lose her...
