"Takahashi, Fo you actually wanna die?"
"... I..."
"Just be honest!"
"I... I don't."
I smiled at her answer.
"Good. Now, tell me... what is it that's bothering you?"
"Why would i-'
She was about to say sonething but soon shut her mouth again.
"... I... My mother is Or rather my financial condition is poor... i, i wanna take care of my mother when she grows up."
She blatently replied, seeming quite sincere.
"... i see... and the bully girl?"
"... I, after i was bullied and ostracized... i realised what kind of a person i was... Neing until now. I don't really care about my reputation or friends for that matter. I believe i should genuinely Apologies to him!"
She answered quite honestly.
"... But after everything i did... do i deserve to continue on living?"
She asekd, genuinely concerned about that.
"Ofcourse you don't. You almost drove the little girl to suicide. You do not deserve to live, considering someone was about to die because of your actions."
She seemed disappointed that i didn't take her side but what i was doing wasn't to make her feel guilty.
"But... We are all humans. Seeking you tell me that you genuinely want to apologise to her... why don't you start with that?"
I wanted her to take accountability for her actions and apologise to the person who hurt them.
"I always heard this from someone... If you have lost something... you should find it in the place you lost it at. It's an obvious proverb but... it has a completely different meaning altogether when you use it for humans."
"... Will she forgive me?"
"Do you want her to?"
"... No!"
That's some resolve.
I suppose you are different from what i thought yoh were Hana.
"What if people call me a hypocrite, what if people hate me for it, what i did was wrong. All these things, let yourself think that. You did something wrong and suffering for it. But, Everyone deserves a 2nd chance."
I wasn't totally sure if this was the right thing to do but... because she wanted to repent.
I... as someone who had no reason to live wanted her who had a path to continue on living for to not give up.
"Your mother... what's she like?"
I asked her ,feeling somewhat reluctant.
"... she's a kind women... she loves me more than anything in this world... I don't think i can live without her."
*Chop*
"DUMBASSS!!!"
I Screamed angrily at her.
"She's a loving mother... who takes care of you well and you want to kill yourself? What do you think will happen... if you died? How would your mother feel? There's someone who cares about you."
"... but, I'll only end up being a burden to her."
"So?"
"Huh? Are you really that insensitive? We are poverty ridden. We live every day barely scraping by and... i did something like that There's no way... i would be able to get a proper job... after a record like that..."
"Haa... Takahashi, what year are you in right now?"
"Stop mocking me you bastard!"
"There's still 2 years left... Takahashi... If you really wanna change... than 2 years is enough time to clear your image. Takahashi... I'll ask you again. Do! You! Waht! To! Change!"
"YES!"
She was resolute.
"Do you regret what you did? Do you regret all the shit ypu pulled on people all this while?"
"I do."
"Than... it's up to you! Takahashi, Nobpdy can change your life except yourself, You are still an immature high schollar. You have enough time to grow as a person and what you decide to do from here on out will decide your fate."
"... But-"
"Takahashi! You said before right... that you might end up being a burden to your sweet mother? After you land a good job... why don't you make your mother your burden? Huh? In this world, everyone is is burden to another. A mother who is happy to make you her burden, you shouldn't shy away from making your mother your burden. Now! Go and apologise to that women."
"...Fine."
She was still unsure but, i think i made a dent in her defences.
I walked towards the ceiling again.
Looking down.
For the first time... i felt like i'd grown a little bit more unafraid...
Was... it because of her?
She was so resolved to kill herself even though she had a family by her side.
I... on the other hand, having nothing was still clinging to dear life like a moth to a flame.
So... seeing myself gain a little more courage...
thinking of the fact that... the day was coming near.
I felt somewhat relieved.
It wasn't long before... I would rid myself from this world and find myself a whole harem of women in another world as i save it from ruin.
...
It was Break after lunch.
And in about 10 Minutes classes would begin at full tilt.
That was when a someone appeared from outside the classroom.
Blonde hair, a flashy apearence and yet looked somewhat elegant.
Beauty wise, she was presumed to be the mosg beautiful women in the academy.
But... due to her personality as a bully leader, she lost big time in popularity votes in the latter half.
she currently stood in front of a desk.
It belonged to a women with glasses.
Makira Kamiya, A victim of Hana's bullying.
"Kamiya... I'd like to talk to you..."
"Hana, do you need something from her?"
"Takahashi? Is there something wrong?"
"Marika, Are you alright"
As i could see... a bunch of people came to her rescue as they saw Hana talking to her.
Haha genuinely Panicked when so many peolle came to her rescue but still resolved herself as she opened her mouth.
"The-"
"Please go back."
But, she couldn't even speak as Horikita came in between to save the victim.
"... But i..."
"What is it?"
She asekd, a cold glare directed towards Hana.
"I wanna Apologise."
She finally blurted out.
And everyone looked at her with shock.
The queen, the arrogant egoist queen was trying to apologise to someone?
Was probably what theyvwere thinking.
But a timid response came from behind.
"...I... I don't want your... Apology."
Her timidness was so cute i wanted to cuddle her like a new born baby.
Ahm... Ahm!
But... Hana didn't see it that way.
She was devastated as she heard him say that.
She... was sitting next to me in a trance.
"This ain't your place women!"
Said a guy as he sat next to me while she sat behind me.
Yup... that's her seat.
