Friede was a tough guy, the kind you wouldn't want to mess with. He had a reputation for being the strongest and most fearless among his group of friends. But even the toughest of guys have their weak moments. And for Friede, that moment came when he got hit in the stomach. It was a normal day, just like any other, and Friede was hanging out with his friends Liko and Ash. They were walking around the neighborhood, cracking jokes and causing mischief, as usual. But then, out of nowhere, a stray ball came flying towards them and Friede wasn't quick enough to dodge it. The impact hit him right in the stomach, causing him to double over in pain. Liko and Ash were immediately worried, as they had never seen Friede in such a vulnerable state before.
They rushed over to him, asking if he was okay and trying to help him up. But Friede could barely speak, the pain was so intense. He managed to utter that his stomach was hurting and he needed to sit down. Liko and Ash quickly found a nearby bench and helped Friede sit down. They asked him what they could do to help, but Friede just shook his head, his face contorted in discomfort. It was clear that he was in a lot of pain.
Liko and Ash didn't know what to do. They had never seen Friede like this before. He was always the tough, fearless one. But now, he was vulnerable and in pain. They felt helpless, but they refused to leave Friede's side. They stayed with him, offering words of comfort and trying to make him laugh. Eventually, the pain subsided and Friede was able to stand up and walk again. But he was still in a lot of discomfort.
Liko and Ash insisted on walking Friede home, making sure he was okay. They didn't want to leave him alone, especially since he was still in pain. Friede was grateful for his friends' support and he knew he could count on them no matter what. As they walked, Liko and Ash made sure to keep an eye on Friede, ready to help him if the pain returned. They also made sure to keep the jokes and laughter going, trying to distract Friede from his discomfort.
By the time they reached Friede's house, he was feeling much better. The pain had subsided and he was able to stand and walk without any difficulty. He thanked Liko and Ash for their help and promised to return the favor whenever they needed him. Liko and Ash were just relieved to see their friend back to his usual self. They knew that no matter how tough Friede may seem, he was still human and could get hurt. And in those moments, they would always be there to support him and make sure he was okay.
