“I don’t really like animals very much,” the face of my friend at that time— I guess it’s more accurate to say acquaintance now. Even on the last day, none of her tears were shed for me, they were shed as she reminisced about everyone. People might fall in love with the same person, but their reasons won’t be the same. Well, that’s what I think… no, maybe that’s a lie. I didn’t try to protect what’s here and now; I decided to leave and aim for something new far away from here. I guess that’s why now I’m afraid to start a life that’s different to hers.

“By myself, I’m not alone.”
