Chapter 1
"She's too stupid, don't ask her."
"Yeah, well, that was a lucky guess. There's no way she could've known the answer."
"She's ugly and retarded. I wonder how her future is going to turn out."
The insults kept coming. Rei wondered when she would finally be left alone. She didn't even know who her friends were anymore. Or if she even had friends. Rei was an orphan. It was already bad enough that she didn't have parents. However, she had realized that friends were puzzling. They would be nice to her one day and the next thing she knew; they were laughing at everything she did, calling her names and ignoring her. Rei always arrived at school feeling refreshed and energetic and walked home feeling drained and depressed.
She would make it end. Rei didn't have anything to hold on to anyways. She wondered why she hadn't thought of it sooner.
Her fingers traced over the familiar scars thoughtfully. The ones that were fading and the ones that were new. They were never too deep. Today this would be the deepest one of all. Hopefully, it would be the last one as well.
The sharp blade cut through her skin easily enough, sliding through effortlessly. Almost against her own will, she edged it in a bit deeper, feeling a rush of adrenaline, satisfaction and… panic? Blood flowed out, staining her white skin to a bright scarlet. A cold sensation slowly spread across her, starting from the cut and then spreading out to her fingertips, her arm, and then freezing her entire body.
"If only this could have happened every time," Rei thought to herself as she felt the numbness erasing everything. The loneliness, the pain of not having parents, the scars of the insults always aimed towards her, slowly healing and then… fading… away...
