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 stared at the screen of his silent phone.
"Maybe I was never meant to stay in her story.
She must be thinking of leaving already... I don't blame her."

And so, without ever saying the words, they both decided-it's over.

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.
