The two boys enter the W.C, all the toilet doors are closed, Samir gets in and starts opening one by one until he finds the locked one.
Salami, the one who has been waiting next to the main door, starts trembling, looks at Tlili, puts his fingernails between his teeth, starts biting, and says:'' Euh...Tlili, Shouldn't we go back? That doesn't look safe to me... I'm scared!''
Tlili laughs, looks at him, and says: "We're only here to see who's been crying, not to fight or kill people, well if you're that frightened, then you can go back..."
He smiles at him confidently and continues: "I'll never surrender... When I start something, I have to finish it without giving up!''
Samir ignores him, faces the locked door and yells: "Who's the crying weak-hearted behind that door?"
That voice stops crying and replies: "I-I'm not crying... I'm not a child...''
Samir looks at Salami and says:'' That voice... sounds a little familiar to me''
While Salami couldn't recognize that voice...
Samir looks at him and says:'' That's right, It's probably..."Kantai Juso", our peer-classmate! But, Why is he crying?''
Salami swallows his saliva:"Only one way to find out!"
Samir faces the door and screams: "Get out you cry-baby n2!''
Salmani repeats: "n2?"
The voice replies: "I won't get out no matter what you do and no matter how you get angry at me like you would save me from the sadness I'm currently in!"
Samir gets angry, hits the door violently, and yells: "I don't care what issue you're in, just open that door and face us, you, coward!"
Salmani gets nervous and says: "isn't that too much? You're being too rude with him!"
Samir looks at him and says: "You should try to help me instead of starting an argument, I try to make him get out when both of you put more weight on me, well that's disgusting!"
The crying voice says:'' Just leave me alone, I don't need anything or anyone, I'm totally fine by myself, I already said that I'm not crying... Just go away, you didn't have to come here in the first place"
Samir sighs and says:'' Just open that shit and get out, is that that hard?''
-''But why? You both have nothing to do with that, Just go away, Don't you understand that?''
-''At least tell us what's wrong? If someone hit you, I swear to god I'll slay him for you!''
Then the door finally gets unlocked and opened.
Kantai gets out, then head down with silence, he looks away embarrassed and says nervously :
"Samir..."
He looks back at him and says: "Kantai..."
Salmani watches the scene and tells himself: "They call each other with their first names in a strange way, it's like... They already knew each other before".
He suddenly remembers Tlili's saying in their conversation: "I don't have friends now, I lost all of them now and now I don't want to....
lose you"
He starts shaking and then continues wondering: "Can it even be possible?"
He then turns conscious again and watches silently; Kantai says: "I don't know what to say right now... I'm sorry having both of you worrying about me, I was suffering from some matter but in the same time, I don't want you to butt in and deal with something that doesn't concern you at all..."
Salmani gets tired of standing the whole time, feels his feet hurt, and says:" Guys, can we get out and talk on the outside? Isn't that better?"
Juso looks at him with a smile and replies: "Right, you two go back home and leave me here, only me and the loneliness"
Samir goes close to him, hits his head, and tells him: "No way! You won't stay, you're going with us silly!"
