I’ve gotten used to being introduced. “Hello. What’s your name? How are you?” They see my smile, my laugh, and the hurt behind my eyes. Loss is not so easily disguised. I’ll try my best to keep on with my sunny disposition. But I close my eyes and end up reminiscing. ~-~-~-~ My name is Manami. I'm 14, and I hand my heart away like it's a ticking time bomb. My days consist of working alongside my prodigy best friend, and my nights are spent agonizing and creating until I finally pass out around 3am and have dreams about said best friend. The only time I seem to find peaceful sleep is when I'm with him, and while it's often, it's never enough. Hiro Hamada is my lullaby. So save me from waking up tonight. ~-~-~-~
