Fire Ring...

Broken Spawn and Fire Ring had been best friends since childhood, a friendship that lasted 13 years! Almost the entire neighborhood knew about their friendship. And yet... Their friendship lasted a long time, but not always. One day, Fire Ring began to notice that he was growing tired of Spawn. At first, he thought he was simply tired, but it turned out his friend's clinginess was truly very unpleasant for him. It was really annoying... Ring didn't want to tell Spawn to his face that he didn't want to be friends with him, but one day... Spawn was walking and noticed a familiar figure in the distance. It was Ring, his friend who, for some reason, had recently... Become too busy! Spawn smiled and ran toward him, hugging him from behind. But Ring didn't like this. He immediately rudely pushed Spawn onto the pavement, yelled at him, telling him he was annoying and that he didn't need him, and then silently turned and walked away. And after that moment... Spawn broke. He began to hallucinate, have nightmares, have elevated cortisol... And it all led to one terrible moment. One day, when Spawn went out for a walk to "refresh himself," he unknowingly ended up right in the middle of the road, where he was soon hit by a speeding car... Spawn, unfortunately, did not survive.

Ring learned of the death of his old friend Ligo a week later. He was overcome with shame, stunned, and incredulous. He felt incredible guilt...

It was a typical Saturday evening. Cloudy weather. Ring... He sat in front of Spawn's grave, stroking his hand over Spawn's portrait on the marble. He had promised to visit his grave every day... Which he did. Sighing heavily, Ring lowered his hand.

"Spawn... Forgive me. Please..."

Ring spoke, his voice trembling. A few seconds later, he suddenly heard a familiar voice... Spawn's voice?!

"Hey. Ring..."

Looking up, Ring saw on the grave's curb... Spawn?! But he was translucent. Like a ghost. And so it was. Spawn looked at Ring with a calm expression... Saying nothing more.
