Prologue

I'm not very good at interacting with other people.

I'm not very good at talking to other people while making eye contact.

I'm not very good with crowded areas.

I don't know when I started to be bad at those things.

However, the one thing I know is that a person can't live completely alone.

No matter how much I love being alone, I cannot possibly survive by myself.

For this reason I'm very grateful to that person.

That person came to me when I was all alone. I tried to avoid that person, but that person.... That person wouldn't let me.

That person became my very first friend. Before I knew it, I and that person had become very close.

But, I dont know why, one day we just stopped talking as often as we did.

Maybe that person lost interest in me?

That person gained way more friends and became quite popular. Maybe they thought their other friends were way more interesting?

I felt like that was most likely it. Because that person was the one who was always talking. I would just respond to the person.

For some strange reason I could never talk to that person easily.

Still, I'm grateful that that person actually spent sometime with me.

So even though I felt like I was all alone, I couldn't possibly bother that person with my problems.

So, I came up with a solution.

I could never be truly free with that person even though I sensed no malice from them.

So even to that person, I hid my true self. I was certain that person wouldn't approve of my true self.

In this dark lonely world, I can continue to survive.

The world is not a beautiful place. While it's common sense, everyone secretly wishes for a beautiful world. A bit of a contradiction.

Anyone..... anyone's fine, so tell me this.

Is everyone putting on a facade like me?

Was that person putting on a facade like me?

Or was that person being true to themself. Does no one bother to create a distinction, and show their true selves instead?

Today that person wasn't with me. I asked that person to leave me alone.

So I'm all alone today too.

I'm alright by myself.

Why am I lying to myself?

I'm alright with being alone.

Stop lying to yourself.

I-

I-

I- from the bottom of my heart, want that person to reach me. I want that person- No. I want anyone who can, to touch my true self.

Until then, I'll continue to live quietly with my eyes cast downwards.

A/N : I'm back with volume 2. Did you guys miss Shiro?😏

How was Sakura's POV? I was trying to put Shiro into the LN's prologue. I hope I didn't mess up.

Hahaha, anyway I'll release the intro next week and then I'll go back to 4 day releases. Just think of this chapter like building suspense for Volume 2.

And from popular demand, I will start focusing more on other characters POVs as well, but not too much.

Also I'm still deciding on the Sakura incident. Those who said I should go canon gave me very good reasons why to go canon so I'm thinking about it for now.
