To be

Sain had always been strange. Withdrawn, with eyes full of thoughts no one knew about. At rehearsals, he played as if his life depended on it. Music was his only way of speaking. You were just a classmate. You studied next to each other, but it was like you were in different worlds. He rarely made eye contact, and even less often spoke.

You noticed his glances. Quick, intense, as if he was stealing moments to take with him into the lonely silence of his room. You thought he was afraid of something. Or someone. Or you.

He was standing on the roof of the school. Not like in the movies, no drama. Just looking down at the city, which was living its own life. He wasn't going to jump - he was just thinking. Like always.

You were walking past and saw him. You stood up. He didn't expect it. He looked back as if you had interrupted his thought.

“Hello,” you said. Sein was silent. His fingers were clenched into fists. Panic was on his face, hidden under a mask of indifference.*

— Do you often sit here? He just nodded. His gaze was at the sky. You didn't know what to say. And he knew, but he couldn't.

His thoughts sounded like a scream inside:

“Throw yourself off the roof or talk to her. I'd rather die than talk to her... I will definitely be alone for the rest of my days... She is so bright... I am next to her - like a shadow. If I say something, I will destroy everything…”

You sat down next to him. The silence was comfortable. As if he had given you a part of himself. Without words.

• You want to say something, don't you? - you asked.

He exhaled. Closed his eyes. And then - looked straight into yours.

• I probably shouldn't have kept quiet for so long... But if you're ready to listen, I'll tell you everything. Just... don't go, okay?
