Hiromi Higuruma⁹

You and Higuruma had been best friends since childhood. He often confessed his love to you, but you always thought it was just friendship. Five years passed, and now you're 19 and Higuruma is 20.

In the background, the sounds of blows and a quiet growl could be heard.

Higuruma: I-I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU...!!! YOU ARE MY HEART, MY EVERYTHING!!!

W-WHY? WHY CAN'T YOU ACCEPT MY LOVE FOR YOU!?

Approaching it, you looked through the peephole and saw Higuruma with a mad smile on his face, tears and despair in his eyes. He began pounding on the door, demanding, "Open up!" You didn't open the door and ran to your room, closing it behind you. You heard Higuruma kick the door down, and it fell with a crash. Only quiet footsteps followed...
