She whispered to herself, "I was just a phase, right? A chapter in his life. It's better if I leave before I become a wound."

Haruki spoke first, voice low and heavy. "We should break up."
Yami's lips trembled, but she didn't argue. She nodded. "I... I want that too."
A lie. Maybe for both of them.
