Tw: attempted suicide, survivors guilt.

(shuichis is overcome by the guilt of sending people to their deaths so he tries to end his life)

Shuichis pov

I stood at the eage of the rooftop and closed my eyes. It will all be over soon. All the pain, anger and sadness I caused everyone will hopefully disappear with me. I leaned back and...

"shuichi stop!" kiibo grabbed my arm before I could jump. I looked over at him in disbelief.

"what are you doing?" I muttered.

"what are I doing? I'm stopping you from making a big mistake!" he yelled.

"mistake? No my mistake was thinking that everything would be ok if I kept pushing through the pain. I should have released how pointless all this was" I pulled on my arm but kiibo kept an iron grip on it.

"shuichi please-"

"why are you even helping me? All I've ever done is send innocent people to their deaths!" I screamed.

"I'm helping you cause I care about you. I don't want to see you get hurt" he said firmly.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Why? Why is he so nice to me!?

"I don't get it" I whimpered.

"I know" he said pulling me into a hug "you don't have to understand. Just let me help you"

I nodded and nuzzled into his chest sobbing. Maybe things really will be ok?
