057 – ex-friends

Ash remembers, better than he'd like to, the day he and Gary stopped being friends. He doesn't know what happened to make Gary hate him all of a sudden, but he still wilts a little every time he thinks about going to Gary's house and the pity/pain on Daisy's face, obvious even to a kid, as she tells him she's sorry, but Gary doesn't feel like playing today. Gary never played with him after that, and for nearly a month he cried about it every night, confused and humiliated, unable to tell his mom the reason why he couldn't stop.
