Life was not a simple thing I had learned.

Neither was love.

Pain.

Nor regret.

"Dear friends and family, we are gathered here to witness and celebrate the union of Iguro Obanai and Kanroji Mitsuri in marriage..."

If life was simple I would not be here, my heart weeping and dying within my cage of bone, shriveling up as I looked onto the bride and groom. One of them being the love of my life.

I had tears in my eyes of course, but others did too, and so I looked to be everyone else, simply witnessing their union. With my hands covering my mouth, as to hold in the sobs and to cover my trembling lips.

Though ultimately...

I was happy for them...!

I really was, they deserved each other.

Iguro Obanai, the groom.

And Kanroji Mitsuri...

Sweet, kind, Mitsuri, who just wanted be the best bride there can be for the man of her dreams...

As I continued listening to the priest, my chest began aching knowing what's coming next.

"Speak now or forever hold your peace."

And those were the words that broke me.

My body shook under the pain and I let a sob escape.

Others looked towards me for that, some smiling endearingly for they knew that I was a dear friend to Mitsuri.

The bride and groom did the same too, the former holding in a giggle as the smile stretched upon her blushing cheeks widened at my display.

But those smiles and gaze of understanding all faltered when I started to wail.

The sobs, the hiccups, there didn't seem to be an end to them, they were too plentiful and eventually I couldn't even breath. Air wasn't going into my lungs and all I could hear was the sound of my cries.

"[L/N]!"

Iguro shouted in concern as he looked upon my crumpled form in shock.

"[Y/N]!!"

The bride dropped her flowers and lifted up her dress, as if ready to rush towards me.
