Was this what it's like to have a best friend?

No matter what Weiss was dealing with, Ruby was always there to help where she could. When Weiss was tired, Ruby would make her coffee just the way she liked it. When Weiss was sad, Ruby hugged her until she was happy again.

Did Weiss do the same for Ruby? She didn't think so, and she felt awful about it. How was it fair for Ruby to do so much while Weiss did so little?

While Weiss played with the bracelet on her wrist, she decided that needed to change.


Can you believe it's already been a month? When I started this, I didn't think I'd make it this far. I hope you've all been enjoying it! To those of you who have left feedback in any form, thank you so much! It means a lot to me and helps me keep going.

That said, I believe I need to take a break from this story. Not a long one, just a week or so. While writing a new chapter every day is fun, it is also a little exhausting. Taking that break will give me time to plan out the next arc of this story too, which will make it much better for all of you in the end.

Thank you for your understanding. There will be one more chapter tomorrow.
