Left walked slowly with his head down with depression looming in his eyes.
        He then went to the outskirts of the capital city to his private place where he usually spends his time alone.
       The place was located on a small hill and was only accessible through a secret dirt road which was hidden inside the surrounding oak tree forest.
         There was an old rusty head of a locomotive train which half of it is now mostly covered in earth.

        Left would often come here whenever he's in a bad mood and would just stare at the city from above the hill and talk to himself to comfort himself whenever he feels angry or depressed.

    He sat down on top of the train head and stared at the city as the sun came down.

       "This world is full of annoying people eh?"-Left mumbled to himself.

       " I swear it wasn't me that pointed a wooden thorn at that jerk's throat, something inside of me made me do it"- Left continued

      " Heh......, you also talk to yourself? I knew it!"- said a voice from behind him

   Left turned around to see the silvered haired boy who was stalking him in class

      "hi, you know me right? We're in the same class?"- the boy asked

    Left just froze and stared at him in confusion

" I'm Ori, I was the one stalking you in class earlier today"- he said with a smile.

He reached out his left hand for a handshake.

Left was just about to shake his hand and he stopped halfway and withdrew

"Eh? Haha, don't worry I'm not like Linda"- Ori said again with a friendly smile.

"You know?, I hate people who smiles like you"- Left said all of a sudden

"Eh? Why is that?" Ori questioned looking curiously

"I've seen countless people smile like that and in the end they were all fake, they just all make themselves feel better by thinking that if they smile more others would see them as a good person. But in the end they are just piling themselves up with more lies"- Left said with his gloomy eyes looking downward.

"Eh? I'm pretty sure my smile is real"- Ori replied playfully

"Do you have to say Eh? At the start of every sentence you speak?"- Left said looking annoyed

"Haha...you're the first one to point that out"- Ori chuckled.

Left ignored him and looked back at the sun and did not reply back.

"Don't you want someone Left?"- Ori asked suddenly out of the blue

Left turned at looked back

"Someone that will understand what you feel inside, your true emotions, someone that will share your pain together with you"- Ori asked with his palms raised up towards the setting sun.

"That wouldn't sound that bad"- Left replied with watery eyes.

"I think I understand how you are feeling right now Left"- Ori said with a little tincture of sadness on his face.

"You're feeling as if the world is the one that's giving you a hard time and you are still haunted by your own past"- Ori stated

Left looked at him in surprise

"How can you tell?" He asked
