I hug him again. He sobs into my shoulder. "Rui, you killing yourself won't make any of us happy, you know that, right?" I say. I pull away from the hug slightly, but just enough to be able to hold his face to look at me. "I love you, Rui. If you died, I don't know how I could even exist in this world anymore. I know you think badly of yourself, I know everyone has their opinions on you, but not everyone hates you. I don't hate you, Emu doesn't hate you, Nene doesn't hate you, is three people is enough to keep you alive?"

"Tsukasa-kun, I can't live in this shitty world anymore, and you know that..! What type of person kills their parents and then expects everything good to happen to them?! What kind of person slits someone's wrists because they said a word?! What type of person stabs their friend and rips off their partner's arm..!?"

He killed his parents..? That was something I wasn't aware of.

I frown. "Rui, please.." I grab one of his hands. "Please?"

He doesn't respond. He stayed silent.

"Nene and Emu, they didn't even hesitate to come and find you. When they told me, I didn't hesitate either.. Please, Rui. W-We can go somewhere else in the world and get away from everything! Please don't kill yourself."

Silence, that was all I got for the next few seconds. "I'm sorry, Tsukasa-kun.." Rui said faintly before letting go of my hand and walking over to the edge of the cliff.

He turns around and smiles. "I love you, I really do, but I won't have you stop me." he leaned backwards, and over the edge.

No.

No no no no no no no no!

I run immediately over where he was and grab his hand before it could fully reach a level where it couldn't be grabbed.

How stereotypical.

"Tsukasa-kun..! L-Let me go!"

"No! I-Im not letting go! Even if it kills me in the process!" I yell.

I wasn't loosing him. I couldn't loose him.

"I-I’ll use my ability to push you away if you don't! I–" Rui didn't hesitate to say anything as he struggled to get free of my grip. It was to the point my nails were digging into his skin.

"I-I don't care! I'll fly down there and grab you instead! You're not killing yourself!" I was crying. My vision was slightly blurry.

Rui tried using his other hand to remove mine but I only tightened my grasp. If he tried any harder, I'd be pulled over the edge in the process.

"Tsukasa-kun! Let me go!" Rui tried and tried and couldn't. I didn't let go. "Please..." His voice cracked.

"I can't.. I'm– I'm not loosing you!" I could feel myself slipping a bit over the cliff.

Closer.

And closer.

And closer.

Then I fell, grabbing the edge of the rock go stop us from falling.

"TSUKASA!" Rui yelps.
