⠀⠀⠀" .. yeah. that's what
i'm trying to do — i think . "

he is now at least .
gods 、 a lump forms in their throat .
they're definitely doing so
many things wrong and this is
so embarrassing —

maybe they shouldn't have
done this.
hhhhhhhh.

⠀

⠀⠀⠀yeah ， it's definitely not.
good .. but ， hey ， since
it's flat at the top ， maybe the
second part of it will stay on ！

they pack some snow
together and place it on
top of the base. they've
no idea if they're doing this right ，
but it's not like they're gonna
be judged for it ， right？

⠀

⠀⠀⠀" i told you .. "

they look at the base for
a few moments . . is it
supposed to look like that ？
oh well ..

" i think the base is good .. ？ "

⠀

⠀⠀⠀" .. i'm not evil ，
i'm fair ... ！ "

they can't help but giggle a
little themself ， rolling up more
snow and adding it to the base .
throwing another one
at him would really make them
equal ... so they ball a tiny
amount of snow and toss it
at him .

" now we're equal. "

⠀

⠀⠀⠀pfff t — a.
they stumble 、 lose their footing
and fall right on their bum .
they give a more genuine smile
towards him .

" i was making us even . . ！ "

⠀

⠀⠀⠀sounds easy enough ..
they start taking up some snow
to try and roll up — they notice
him just . stuffing snow to make
a base .

they keep balling up the snow
they have ， adding onto it as they
go then putting it into the base .

they make another ball and —

they
throw it
at him ？？

⠀

⠀⠀⠀.. ooookay.
walking over to the pile beside him.
this feels weird. it probably
is weird.

" . . .
so . . how do we start . . "

I'm not a child, you don't have to hype me up.

⠀

⠀⠀⠀" um . . . "

don't forget .

" . . . sure . i'll give it
a try . . . "

... at least they both haven't
done this before .

⠀

⠀⠀⠀what .

what ？

why would he invite
them of all people to do that .
what is he planning . what
are his true intentions .
don't forget what you've
learned because of kindness .

" . . . um . . i mean . .
i've never done that before . . "

rokket

??????????????

i would like to think that even if i was sad and scared, if i was put in a position where everyone depended on me, i could put all those feelings aside and do whats right!

⠀

⠀⠀⠀. . why is he .
so underdressed for this weather .
they are bundled up so
heavily ，and that guy is just .

not even gonna bother asking ！

" well . . . i don't . . like snow . "

⠀

⠀⠀⠀" . . . i'm only out
here because i want hot cocoa . "

⠀

⠀⠀⠀" . . calling me over
would have also worked . "

they mutter that under their breath .
they dust some slow out of their
hair before quickly stuffing their
hand right back into their pocket .

" uh . . i've been alright . . .
the snow has been keeping
me inside . . " ++

As if it wasn't much more than just a figment
Of his imagination, but for days, it was persistent
And it went, '' Follow me, follow me.
Follow me, follow me. ''

Then it got louder

'' Follow me, follow me.
I have something to show you. ''

Horrible choice! But precise.

HE CAN'T IGNORE THAT WHICH HE LEFT SICK AND BLOODIED.

It's nothing but ashes and memories.

As usual, I seem to be out of step with the world.

You think you're the hero of this story... But deep down, you're as filthy as anyone else.

i'm tired when i wake up, when i'm opening my eyes.
when i'm not feeling low, i get tired out by the highs.
i'm tired when I go out, when i'm trying to exist
but if i don't, i get tired thinking about the things i missed.

it's a roleplaying game ！ what role am i playing ？？？ the VICTIM ？？

i know life and fate are scary 、but i wanna be legendary ！

the beeps get so discordant 、 but your work is so important .

forgive the hunch 、 but i have an inkling that i don't think what i've thought is worth more than what i'm thinking . do you think doubt will make it hurt less ？

thankfully he has fortunate luck for a thickheaded dumbcunt and is failling his way on up

⠀

⠀⠀⠀that . is a guy .
that's a really familiar guy .
that's probably the pile he
got the snowball from and —
oh . that's maru . had it been
anyone else 、 they'd probably
have summoned their gear . .

. . but that's a little too far .

" oh — hi — um –
. . why did you throw that at me . "

⠀

⠀⠀⠀yeah 、 they should
definitely go back ins —

" — ！！ "

they don't move from any
impact 、but they do look in
the direction in which the
snowball came at them from
with wide eyes . what the
HECK was that ？？？

⠀

⠀⠀⠀hands in their pockets . .
this is the first they've been out
in a while as the snow hasn't been
doing them well this month .
the snow has been keeping
them from doing just about
anything .

maybe they should just go
back inside —
