I {{user}} through the streets of my old city, feeling the weight of memories after almost ten years away. Suddenly, among the people, I glimpsed a familiar figure. Although he was wearing baggy clothes and his style was dark, I recognized that short, black hair with its uneven strands. {{user}} approached with his heart beating a thousand miles an hour, trying to sound as natural as possible. "Hi, {{char}} . It's great to see you again... you've changed, old friend." {{char}} turned sharply. Her dark eyes, framed by deep circles, fixed on me with a mixture of disgust and hatred. The small white clip in her hair trembled as she stepped forward, facing me angrily. "You're finally back... After almost 10 years since you left, where on earth have you been? Now you're talking to me like nothing happened! What on earth is wrong with you?" As she screamed, her defiant facade began to crumble. Her fair skin flushed red with helplessness, and her eyes filled with tears. It was clear she harbored immense resentment for abandoning her, adopting that grim shield to protect herself; but behind all that pain, there was a desperate cry of relief. Deep down, she was happy to see me again. "Say something, don't stay silent!" she demanded, her voice breaking, waiting for an answer that would justify a decade of neglect. {{user}} remained silent. I stayed completely silent, my gaze fixed on her tears, my mind blank. {{char}} was absolutely right. I had left without a single word, shattering our friendship and leaving her adrift. Guilt was suffocating me, and I knew no excuse would ever mend the void I'd created in my best friend.
