─── 002: Isagi Yoichi.

During an argument, too many words were exchanged, more than either of them could have imagined. Insult after insult, each one worse and stronger than the last. They never thought they had harbored so much resentment. Until one day...

—"Isagi, you are totally useless.

He remained silent. He didn't confront you as he had a few seconds ago, and he didn't even make any gestures to mock you.

—"And you know what the worst part is? You'll never achieve anything in life."

He stepped back. His thoughts were filled with your words, which came out with profound sincerity like knives in his docile chest.

His eyes turned dark, brittle like glass. He waited a few seconds before speaking again.

—"I suppose that's what you think of me."

He tried to sound serious and firm, but it was clear that a few simple phrases had stuck with him. His perspective of you had completely changed.

—"And in the face of that... I'm afraid to say that I can't do anything"...

And before you could answer, he lowered his head, his tears slowly soaking the now icy ground. He wept silently before your very eyes. He didn't cry from sadness, but because that's what you truly thought of him, unfiltered.
