The young female continued making her way to the skyscraper as the sun continued to set in the orange sky. Her pink sneakers made quiet footsteps as she did so and her silver locks swayed in the wind. She extended her arms out, causing her school bag to slide down to her wrist. Swinging her arms up and down gently with her hands up, she began to hum to the music coming from her earbuds, excited for what was to happen.

She lived in a quiet, rural area of Tokyo, but she wasn't too far from the downtown part of it. There was nobody in sight and all that could be heard was her humming, footsteps and the gentle summer breeze.

After reaching the heart of Tokyo, she began to see lots of people going back home from work. She stopped for a moment and a bus rushed past in front of her on the road. She laughed maniacally.

Quickly reaching the skyscraper, she walked inside and took the elevator to the top floor. Once the elevator took her there, she took the stairs to the rooftop.

When she was on the rooftop, her silver hair and short green school skirt swayed in the wind. She grabbed her phone and stopped her music. Opening her live stream again, she immediately grinned.

"It's time, everyone~! Are you ready!?!? Let's go~!" She cried gleefully, doing a little spin.

Blissfully ignoring the comments begging her not to do the inevitable, she walked towards the edge of the rooftop. She pulled her stuffed teddy bear, Rei Rei-kun out of her school bag.

"Ready, Rei Rei-kun?" Even after hearing no reply, she smiled from ear to ear. "Yippee~! Let's go~!"

She flashed a peace sign by her left eye to her many viewers.
"Whelp, it's time for me to leave! It was fun spending so much time with you guys, but good things must always come to end! Bye-bye!" she said.

The silver-haired girl hugged her teddy bear and jumped from the rooftop.

As she quickly descended towards the ground, she continued hugging her teddy bear while grinning with closed eyes. She held her phone up with her left hand, still live streaming. Her silver tresses and green skirt and bowtie swayed in the wind. Shortly reaching the ground, her small body hit the pavement, and just like that, and at that same spot, and right at that exact moment, she died♥
