Something interesting has happened. I'm.. uh.. Not sure how to explain this one....
"Mrs. Gemini, can I escape now?"
She said while looking down at her shoes.
'I really do think you need therapy Genma.. I'm sorry but I seriously doubt I can help you. Erm.. not sure what else to say here.'
It was 6:00 in the morning, The sky was still pretty dark.
*Drip* *Drip*
*DRIP*
The little roof thing above us was collecting the rain. There isn't a door right near us so it's not LIKE we're blocking the way for anyone.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."
Genma's voice was quivering.
She was visibly shaking. It's the shake you get when you're cold.
'Look, I don't know what happened but it's probably not your fault? Definitely isn't!'
I'm trying to sound like I care for her but I don't think it's coming across that way. My eyes weren't even moving and I was still looking down at her.
'I also have to go soon. We'll talk later I guess.'
I need to get back to my apartment. Earlier that day I completed a job and i'm tired. I'm pretty close to my apartment and was walking there until Genma somehow recognized me in the dark and confronted me. She seems off today. Her hair is shorter and spiker now.
"I.. understand. Thank you for everything Gemini."
"I'm going to go back now and will never bother you again"
Genma still had her head down this entire time. She didn't sound energetic at all.
I never said this but I am slightly fond of her. Seeing her like this makes me feel some way...
*Drip*
I hate that I can't be there for her. Not because I can't but because I don't feel like genuinely helping her. Gemini is as selfish as always huh.
"Before I go, I want you to have this.."
She reached out from her hoodie pocket and handed me a letter.
I hesitantly grab the letter and begin to read it. Genma looked up at me with a bruised eye.
[Thank you for everything Gemini. For being the only person to never push me away and listen to me. I know it's not much but just know that you're an awesome person. Far more than me. I tried to copy everything about you because I admired everything about you. Your sense of fashion. Your confident posture and voice. And being a.. mostly laidback person. Very understanding of people like me. I just wanted to be like that for one day and not rely off of others. Being a parasite on everyone's lives without giving back.

I eventually realized that becoming you won't help anything. Although that hope was the only thing keeping me alive. I've accepted that I will never be you and that's okay. It's okay..
Thank you for being my best friend ever.
Gemini
Sincerely
Yumiko Naegi]
I looked at Yumiko while clutching the paper.
I'm not sure if I should be happy or concerned. I never really acted that kind towards her.
"Goodbye Gemini."
She put on her black hoodie.
'Whatever you're about to do.. Please think it over Yumiko.'
I'm now invested in her. I think I know what she's about to do since I've tried it in the past before. It's very hypocritical of me to do this though.
I grab her hand.
"Gemini, nothing is going well in my life. My dad today was very mad at me and made me kill my puppy with my bare hands. I didn't comply at first then he punched me in the face. I really liked Sparky.. He still had his adorable face while I was choking him to death. His face was getting swollen. But he still..."
Yumiko went to the ground crying.
'It wasn't your fault Yumiko..'
I don't know what to say after hearing that...
"It is.. My dad completely *hic* cut me off and i'm now essentially homeless.. *hic*"
I don't see any other thing to offer.. other than this. I crouch down and suggest something.
'You can stay at my place for a bit.. I'm sorry for everything you're going through and not being there for you'
I feel like a horrible person for treating her the way I did for months.
"Thanks but it won't be necessary... *sniff* I'm done with this world. I tried but nothing ever worked for me. I won't drag you into this."
She began to smile.
"For real this time.. Goodbye Gemini!"
She pulled something out of her pocket and pulled it.
*BOOM*
*SPLAT*
W-w... oh my god.....
*Thud*
I can't hold back anymore. I was frozen in place with the only thing moving is the water from my eyes.
I'm so sorry Yumiko.. I should have been there for you more.. Instead, I was too selfish to realize that she had all the traits of someone planning to kill themself.
Even more than me.
...
....
I don't know what to do.. I wipe away the blood on my jacket and dial a phone number..
.
.
...*drip*..
.
"Hello, what is your emergency?"
A male dispatcher's voice rung though my ears
'Someone has just.. kill themself in front of me..'
I wipe away the tears.
"Stay calm ma'am. Tell me your current location."
• • • •
"We're on the way."
'Thank you.'
They eventually came while I was still in the same posture. They assured me that everything would be fine.
EVERYTHING IS NOT FINE.
Yumiko just kill herself right in front of me. I will never forget this or how I could have prevented it if I didn't freeze up.
The rain pouring down even harder now although the sky was starting to brighten up.
I started to walk back to my apartment that's two minutes away from here.
I take my shoes off and close the door. Then I went and turned all the lights off and went straight to my bed.
I don't feel like eating or showering right now. I can't even go to sleep.
The sky was brightening up behind me making it harder for me to sleep. I have to admit how beautiful the sky is when it's like this. I opened my pink curtains and stood up a little bit.
The sky was a deep blue with a tint of pink applied to the bottom. Clouds were very visible and grey.
It was still raining but starting to die down a bit.
The sky continues on it's path of lightning up.
Eventually it will be a light blue sky in a few hours.
The world just keeps rotating without a care.
The world just goes on.
The world just..
*ZZZZZZ*
