"THATS GREAT! STRUGGLE MORE FOR ME! SHOUT AND SHOUT UNTIL YOUR VOICE DISAPPEARS! CRY FOR HELP THAT WILL NEVER ARRIVE!" The supposedly soft and shy woman I met earlier, is laughing like a maniac in front of me.

"PLEASE LET ME GO! I STILL HAVEN'T ACHIEVED ANYTHING SIGNIFICANT! I'LL GIVE YOU MONEY, ANYTHING, JUST LET ME GO!" I was shouting as tears fell from my face. The cold breeze brushed against my neck as I was tied up.

"Money you say?" She stopped for a second. "If you give me 50000 yen I can finally but a new guitar." She smirked.

"And maybe I could spare you too." She stopped in thought.

I just continued to cry silently.

"So? Where's the money?" She stared at me. "Where's the money, girl. Tell me or I'll push you off this building." She threatened

"I-its, a credit card in my b-bag." I replied. God please save me. I still want to see my mother, my club mates, my friends. I still want to fulfill my dreams.

The girl in front of me rummaged around my bag until she found the credit card.

"Well this ending is unusual. Usually I ask my victims to guess what my favorite chord is." She scratched her head. "Now did you really think I'd let you go?" She smiled.

"WAIT, I GAVE YOU THE CREDIT CARD! WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED!" I shouted, tears still rolling down my face.

"You know-" She paused and looked at my ID. "Yui-chan, this world is unfair. The only way you could survive is either by wealth-" She paused again.

"Or by having unrivaled power." She smirked.

"Now, I couldn't afford to let you go, since you saw my face." She grabbed my hair and faced me.

"Thank you for being my friend-"

"Yui-chan."

"WAIT, NO PLEA-

Those were the last words I uttered as I helplessly fell at a rapid speed. I couldn't hear my own screams anymore. My death was certain.

Mom. I'm sorry for not being the greatest daughter.

I'm sorry for making you worry.

I'm sorry that I won't be able to come home.

I just wanted to experience a mediocre high school life, not knowing it would lead me to this very situation.

If I had known, I would've tried to achieve more things, and be more dedicated to the stuff I enjoy doing.

But it's too late for all that now. What can I say, it was-

Fun.

Kano, Kyoko, Ushio-

Thank you.

For being with me all this time. I wish I could've spent more time with you.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

"I STILL WANT TO LET KANO COPY MY HOMEWORK! I STILL DONT WANT TO DIE!"

My screams and cries will obviously be futile.

But I don't know what else to do-

But scream.
