(Y/N) sat at the edge of the cliff, swinging her legs and leaning back on her hands as she stared out at the endless treetops before her. Her (e/c) eyes seeming dull, yet glistening with years of unshed tears.

"When did I become so numb?
When did I lose myself?
All the words that leave my tongue
Feel like they came from someone else

"I'm paralyzed
Where are my feelings?
I no longer feel things
I know I should
I'm paralyzed
Where is the real me?
I'm lost and it kills me - inside
I'm paralyzed

"When did I become so cold?
When did I become ashamed? (ooh)
Where's the person that I know?
They must have left
They must have left
With all my faith"

Walking through the brush to stand a mere few yards behind her, the student struggled to decide whether to confront her or not.

"I'm paralyzed"

Deciding to stay to listen to the rest of her song, the child-assassin sat cross-legged on the grass, eyes closed, and listened as the (h/c)-haired beauty sang her song.

"I'm paralyzed
I'm scared to live but I'm scared to die
And if life is pain then I buried mine a long time ago
But it's still alive
And it's taking over me - where am I?
I wanna feel something, I'm numb inside
But I feel nothing, I wonder why
I'm on the race of life and time passes by
Look
I sit back and I watch it, hands in my pockets
Waves come crashing over me but I just watch 'em
I just watch 'em
I'm underwater but I feel like I'm on top of it
I'm at the bottom and I don't know what the problem is
I'm in a box
But I'm the one who locked me in
Suffocating and I'm running out of oxygen"

She moved her arms along with the rap, swinging them in random directions as if pretending to be an American Rapper™. The girl was unable to finish her song as she was shocked from her sporadic dancing by a stifled giggle coming from her one-person audience.

(Y/N) spun around, arms up in a defensive position, but was both relieved and embarrassed to see her blue-headed friend there, "Nagisa! What are you doing here?"

Nagisa smiled sheepishly, "I was going to ask you a question, but I decided to wait and listen to your song. But, I'm confused. What meaning did that song have?"

"What do you mean?" the (h/c)-head countered.

"You obviously chose that song for a reason, so why that song?"

(Y/N) turned around, "It's not that I don't feel things, but... well...

"I don't want to be a mistake."

"You're not a mistake," Nagisa put his hand on her shoulder, "Why would you think that?"

"I'm trying," (Y/N) continued, "Trying to edit myself. Because I'm afraid, I don't want to be forgotten. I don't want to disappear, Nagisa. I don't-..."

"I'm here," the blueberry comforted, "I'll never forget you, and I may not be strong or brave, but I'll protect you from your demons. You don't have to edit yourself because I love you, (Y/N). And I never want you to change."

The girl smiled, before realizing what Nagisa had said and blushing profusely, "You- You love me?"

Nagisa blushed at his slip of the tongue, but, knowing that he couldn't delete what he had said, continued, "Y-yeah. I liked you for a really long time, but when you got hurt and went into a coma, and I thought I'd never see you again... it terrified me... Enough to realize that I really do love you, (Y/N), and I'm not sure what I'd do without you."

"I saw you... when I thought I was dying... You're smile told me everything would be okay. Can you... smile for me again?"

"If I'm with you, I'd smile even as the last rays of sunlight set on the burning world. You're my happiness, (Y/N). My smile is yours."
