It was Sora, he was sitting on a small ledge, dangerous enough for him to fall off and die in just ONE wrong move.
He was surprised.
Sora: SH-SHIMIZU?! W-what are you doing here?!
Shimizu: I SHOULD BE THE ONE ASKING YOU THAT QUESTION! GET UP HERE! I DON'T WANT YOU TO DIE! <gasps>
《What the heck did I just say?》
Sora: O-okay... calm down...
《I was about to lend him a hand but he swiflty and easily went back up the brink of the cliff like a ninja. Cool.》
Shimizu: Now what were you doing there?! Were you trying to commit suicide?! And, who were you talking to?!
Sora: Eh?! Y-you heard everything?!
Shimizu: No!.. (I actually heard some stuff... silly.)
Sora: Phew...
《I was relieved. I thought he was gonna jump off.》
Shimizu: Anyways! Dad is looking for you. Let's go.
Sora: O-kay?
~¤☆¤~
Sora's P.O.V.
H-how did she--? I guess I was talking too loud. Ahh, so embarassing!!! She must have heard some stuff! Gaaah!
Shimizu: Anyways, Dad is looking for you. Let's go.
Sora: O-kay?
《As we were making our way back, Shimizu suddenly started to act weird. She was starting to wobble while we were walking.》
Sora: Are you all right?
Shimizu: Yeah...
Sora: You sure? You look tired.
Shimizu: I'm fine.
Sora: ...
Shimizu: Sora.
Sora: Yeah?
Shimizu: What were you doing back there?
Sora: Oh. Uh. Uhmm. (I guess I should just tell her.) Well, that part of the cliff, the ledge where I was sitting on, is where I sort of meditate and clear off my mind. It's like my own personal space, it's one of my secret places but not anymore since you already know.
Shimizu: That ledge is dangerous you know.
Sora: I know. That's why I chose that place because not much people would risk their lives to go there. I am the only one who knows how to get there.
Shimizu: I got nervous back there, I thought I was gonna witness you die. Who were you talking to by the way?
Sora: ... No one...
Shimizu: Don't tell me you're a lunatic.
Sora: No no, I-I was talking to...
Shimizu: To?
Sora: My father.
Shimizu: (He IS a lunatic.) Is he somewhere else?
Sora: He already passed away ever since I was 11.
Shimizu: ...Oh I'm sorry for your loss. Where's your mom?
Sora: I don't really know. I don't even know if she's still alive. She's gone missing ever since my father died.
"I will do everything for you. It's okay Sora. I will be back"
Sora: Those were the last words she told me before she left.
Shimizu: It must have been hard for you to live all alone.
Sora: Yep, it was hard. I kept holding on to those words for years. But during those years, I never felt alone, the residents in this town are bighearted people. The day they knew that my mom left me, they helped me to live throughout all those years.
Shimizu: Don't you feel mad to your mother?
Sora: No. I can never, ever. I love her. She took care of me since I was born. I can still remember the vast happiness mother and I shared with each other...
Shimizu: ...
Sora: There was a time where I really felt so emotional when I was 15... I had a break down because I've always had nightmares every single night ever since my mother left me. At the same time, I felt like I was a burden to the people of this town. So I went to the highest cliff of this place to commit suicide.
Shimizu: (Dumb reasons to die. He must be a wimp or maybe he's just sensitive.)
Sora: But then, as I was about to jump off, someone gripped my arm and pulled me back.
Shimizu: Who was it?
