   Summary

   Spring. A time for students to flourish and smile, live up to familial expectations. It was something it noticed. 

   Rumours went around of a boy who sat under a cherry blossom tree, endlessly staring at nothing. Bandages wrapped around his arms and plastered onto his face, he didn't seem to have friends.  The students passed by, rarely sparing a glance at him. When they did, it was to place bets on when he'd kill himself. In public, basically asking for an execution. 

   But the bandaged boy didn't know when he'd kill himself. What he did know was that surely, he wasn't human. He could laugh, he could grin, but he could not cry. Humans cried. Monsters didn't. But he wasn't a monster, was he? He was. And he knew it.
