SLAM! "AZU-NYAAAAAAAAN!" Recognizing the voice, Azusa looked behind her. Yui stood in front of the roof entrance, panting. "Azu-nyan, what are you doing!?"
Azusa looked ahead again. "I'm ending it. I have no reason to live anymore."
"Azu-nyan, wait. I..."
"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!" the kouhai screamed. Her shoulders trembling, she began crying again. "I don't want to hear it..."
Yui stepped forward. "Azu-nyan, please just listen. That girl and I..."
"I saw it all, Yui-sempai! She's your girlfriend now, isn't she!? You're a happy couple now, aren't you!?" Azusa said, voice thick with emotional pain. Wiping her tears away, she took a few breathes. "I wasn't fast enough. I got to you too late. Now someone has taken away the most important person in my life. There's nothing left for me now."
"We called it off, Azu-nyan!" Yui said desperately.
Azusa's head perked up. She looked back at Yui. "What?"
Yui slowly began walking forward, pulling the letter out of her friend's bag. "Azu-nyan, I've read your letter. I know how you feel about me now."
Azusa's eyes widened. She slowly turned around. "You've read it?" she asked quietly.
"Yes." The catgirl fell silent for a bit. Yui kept moving towards her. "Azu-nyan..."
"Don't come any closer." Yui stopped. Azusa balled her hands into fists. "You really called it off with her? Why should I believe that?"
"Because I'm your friend, Azu-nyan. We both read the letter, and she said I should go with you instead."
"Really?"
"Yes. I promise you it's true." Yui begged.
Silence. Then Azusa spoke up. "Yui-sempai, I..." A breeze then blew across the roof, blowing a bit of dust into Azusa's eye. "Ah." Partially blinded, she inadvertently stepped back. Stepping on thin air, she screamed as she began falling.
"AZU-NYAN!" Throwing the bag and letter to one side, Yui leapt forward. Time slowed to a crawl. Terror filling her heart, the guitarist reached out to her friend. Azusa held her hand out. They grew closer...
