How could you?

The water-filled clouds had exploded, drenching her from head to toe, until she couldn't see through the thick curtain of rain. The droplets intermingled with her tears as she stood, her rage building and building with each passing second.

How could you, Fuzuki?

Fuzuki, her best friend Fuzuki, had been seeing a man she knew that Moe loved behind her back.

I can't live knowing that you'd double-crossed me!

You don't have to. Just use that knife you brought with you...There's a good girl.

Moe's trembling hand brought the razor to her wrist, complying with the voice in her head. She was mad, she was crazed, and she knew it. But she had to end the pain of her shattered heart somehow, and it wasn't through getting over the betrayal. Nothing could bring her smile back to her face. Nothing.

Jealousy, despair, hatred…All of those feelings flooded her heart and soul, until she was drowning in those emotions, suffocating in them.

You knew I loved Seijyuro! Why, Fuzuki?

Moe had sacrificed all the time she could have spent with her other, better friends, just so she could be with Fuzuki. And for what? To be stabbed in the back.

Fuzuki, you...you monster!

She bit her lip as the terrible thoughts crowded into her brain, making themselves at home.

Maybe...Maybe Fuzuki didn't mean it, she thought, still trying to prove that Fuzuki was good. She didn't mean to...betray me. She desperately looked for an excuse. But with each attempt to defend Fuzuki, the less convinced she became. And it was only so long before what was left of Moe's love for Fuzuki would dissipate, replaced with hate.

She dug the razor blade into her skin, ending her life with a single slicing motion. There was overwhelming pain, but it wasn't anything like what she had been feeling in her heart. As she dropped to the ground, a pool of red flowing from her wrist, she wished that she could see Fuzuki's smile. That her friend could be with her just one more time.

While writing this, I had hoped that it would touch at least a tiny corner people's hearts, but it didn't work out very well. I realized that some of Moe's thoughts don't make much sense either (;;) but I figured the thoughts of a depressed suicidal wouldn't be very logical.

I personally think Meroko had the saddest past. I felt like crying in volume 4 [not just because of what happened with Fuzuki and Moe, but still. But I'm not much of the emotional type, so my heart just went doki-doki.
