Ever since I saw their body heavily mutilated beyond repair deep in the forest, I keep seeing them in my dreams.
At first, they would act like their normal self
"Hey, Shinzou! I'm so glad that I met you! With you, I feel like all my worries just fizzle away!"
"Hey, Shinzou! I'm so glad that I met you! With you, I feel like I can finally move on from 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮!"
"Hey, Shinzou! I'm so glad that I met you! With you, I feel like I am finally free from their shackles!"
"Promise me that you won't leave me."
"Promise me that you won't abandon me."
"Promise me that you won't leave me."
"Promise me that you won't leave me."
"Promise me that you won't leave me."
That's right, they were kind of fidget-y, worrying about a certain someone, who I can only assume is their stalker
"Please! If they find me, I will be toast!"
"Please! If they find me, god knows what will happen!"
"Please! If they find me, they will ■■■■■■■■■■■"
"Please! I don't want to die!"
"Please."
"please."
"p."
"..."
...
Why are you pestering me? We don't even know each other. As far as I'm aware, you're just a useless burden who got stuck on me. I do not owe you anything.

I seriously do not understand you! Leave me alone! I do not want to see your pathetic face ever again!
"..."
And now I'm back to seeing their corpse again. It has been severely mangled and even compared to the stuff I saw... This doesn't compare. I genuinely felt sick, and that's towards the person I didn't even care for.
"Shinzou..."
And while I will forget about them like the "buddies" before...
"I really liked you."
There's no denying that we're dealing with a far dangerous threat

"... Forgive me, Shinzou..."

"Ishouldhavedied."

"Iwantedtodie."

"Imsorry."
"Ishouldnthavemadeyousuffer."
