"Giselle, I promise to be your best friend forever until the end"

"Really, Fuoco? Your the bestest friend ever!"

~~~~~~~~~~

Giselle lives in a luxurious house in the city with her parents who are one of the richest people in Hikari. The problem is she can't make friends in the city around her, her parents treat her like a Princess.

Giselle always gets so many things that she never really liked because she never actually asked for it. So, one time she decided to give out the toys she didn't like, and she met Fuoco, a boy who is poor but young like her.

Giselle told Fuoco to take care of her toys for her. Fuoco asked Giselle if they can play together, but she can't because her parents don't let her play with other children outside, she just plays with the maids. Giselle really wanted a playmate but she needed to go already.

"Nice meeting you, Fuoco." Giselle then leaves.

After sometime, Giselle was at her backyard on the swing, on her own. Suddenly, a boy fell down her fence. Giselle was shocked to see it was Fuoco!

"Fuoco! What are you doing here? Are you okay?" Giselle asked. "I'm fine, I just wanted to see you and play with you." Fuoco said. "Me too, but your not supposed to be here, my mother and father might catch you!" Giselle warned. "It's okay, I know how to hide." Fuoco smiled at Giselle. "Oh okay... Well, let's play!" Giselle said happily.

And so that's the start of their friendship. Fuoco would always visit Giselle at her backyard to play everyday. But one day, Fuoco got caught by Giselle's parents.

"Giselle, who is this?!" her father said. "Father, he's my best friend! My only playmate!" Giselle answered while crying. "I'm sorry Giselle but you're never going to see him again, we're going to move to a better house, a bigger one!" her mother said. "No! I don't wanna! I want to keep on playing with him! Mother please! This is all I ever wanted! Not anything else!"

Giselle tried hard to convince her parents to not take Fuoco away from her. Fuoco just standing there in shock. "Giselle! Don't worry, the maids are gonna play with you, now we have to go, we will be late with our business meeting." her father said.

As her mother pulled her away, Giselle kept shouting for Fuoco to help her. Fuoco tried to run after her but the glare of Giselle's father made him freeze and run away outside the house, "I'm sorry Giselle! I promise we'll meet each other again someday!" Fuoco shouted with tears falling down his face as he ran towards the fence and never looking back.

- 10 years later -

Giselle is in her big house while her parents were at work. She looked through her room's window and thought, "Will we ever see each other again?".

Tears streamed down her delicate face. She missed her best friend, playmate, the only person she loved ever since she was a child.

Giselle suffers from extreme depression ever since they left their old house. She would always cry and look outside the window to see if Fuoco was there to save her.

[WARNING: The next scenes might be a bit disturbing for young audiences.]

"Fuoco... I need you." Giselle cried as she quickly closed her window, locked her door and took a sharp blade from the drawer beside her bed. And she started cutting her wrist.
