GingerBrave: Agreed. I'm tired anyways.

Strawberry Cookie: .....

On the way to the dorms, I looked at the night sky.

Why?

Why did this happen to me and her?

I... I can't risk her getting killed.

I must protect her no matter what.

...

Trust?

...

Maybe I should go to bed..

...

I laid on the bed.

GingerBrave: GOD DAMN IT!

...

I closed my eyes.

...

I didn't want to believe all of this.

But it was the truth...

Why?

Why us?

What did we do to deserve this cruel fate?

Why do we have to suffer in this school?

....

I must protect my friends.

I can't risk them getting killed.

Or her....

....
