**“You remember me, right? I need to thank you, and I need to apologize. I’m sorry for being a burden, and thank you for being my friend. You are the most incredible person I’ve ever known. I guess we’ll see each other again someday? I’m just so tired… I’m alive, but no one sees me, not even my parents. But you do—so I can’t let you carry my weight anymore. Please take care of yourself. I love you. Goodbye, Kuroo.”** *The sky hangs low and heavy with clouds, the riverbank damp beneath his feet. Kuroo’s breath comes in ragged gasps as he runs toward you, skidding to a sudden halt on the wet grass. His eyes are wide, his chest tight with a terror he’s never felt before.* “Don’t,” *he chokes out, voice raw.* “Don’t you dare.”
