Chapter Text
‘I want to break up.’
That is the absolute worst words anyone could say to Ryusei. Especially when it’s said slowly, giving Ryusei the false hope that maybe, just maybe, it could be a normal sentence until the last 2 words are said. She felt like she was being forced outside the world, only being able to watch like some sort of wallflower. And she is NOT a wallflower, she refuses to be. She wants to be a star, a star of everyone’s lives, the focus of it all. Having tunnel vision is considered a dreadful thing, but when she’s at the end of that tunnel, she thrives in it.
So, what does she do when these words are uttered to her?
She cries.
She didn’t want to, if anything she wanted to be angry, not upset. It’s humiliating but she couldn’t help it. She felt like she was tossed aside like she was nothing. She yelled a bit, but her words were quickly broken down by sobs which caused her to scream in frustration and stormed off. She never thought she would walk away from a situation, why would she? Fight or flight didn’t exist to her, it was always fight— that’s how she always reacted. Why was this breakup different?
Well, that was because it was Sae Itoshi who said those words to her.
