A long, long, loooong time ago, when we used to be kids, there used to be so many people. Streamers online, bald men trying to get their hair growing back, troops scattered about in the city... We always thought we lived in a beautiful, safe place and nothing bad was going to happen.
I remember how there were German and Australian troops in Japan, how Iceland and Greenland disappeared underwater, and then all of a sudden people started disappearing.
You were too young thankfully-
a...ahh... Like, two years younger than me,
but I have my dad to tell me this.
My daddy told me it was just a matter of time.
When people don't die of one thing,
they'll die of another thing.
Only the major cities of countries thrived while the rest of the country cried out for help and had to either move or find a way out; a world outbreak - depression. The government couldn't help anyone other than those who would find a way to live, and offered a wonderful way out, judge free and guilt free.
Pain free too, I've heard,
but
isn't
dying
scary?
Eri.... I didn't bring you up here to tell you a stupid history lesson....
You see,
I- I....
...
You've noticed.
Mostly everyone's hooked on these pills. Yeah, I... I have them too.... I guess I didn't want to do this without you, because well, aren't they right? Like my dad said - we're going to die anyway and something's wrong.
What ever
happened to my mother?
Why were
the soldiers here so dead looking?
Where
are your parents?
We have a solution to finally dream forever with these, and I ... I don't even know what I want to do when we get out of school. We're so close to getting out, and I don't have anything. I don't even know what I would want and- and- and....
God, I'm such a mess.
Who am I, aside from someone that shares stupid facts about stuff and makes you all laugh from time to time? Outside of school I can barely get away from... from this feeling inside, and I know this place is eventually going to become another ghost town like so many places already.
If I do something, where would I even go?
I.. I want us to take these together. Then- then if it hurts, we can be there for each other. I read online that it makes you feel euphoric for awhile and lets you do one thing you always wanted...
I wanted you. That's it. You know me more than anyone, so that's why I had to tell you!

....Really? You're bringing up your stupid grades? Then tell me, Eri, what do you want to be when you grow up? Who do you love? What do you want in life?
I'm scared of dying alone, and your goal.... You would choose this crap over me? People like you are going to have kids and bring them into a messed up world! Don't you get it? Nothing we do matters here, nothing at all, so please.
Let's stop wasting our time.
Fine. If you care more about that than about me, I'll do it myself! Why did I even think you would do it with me.... I guess I really was just following you. Not anymore though, never again.
When you die, I hope you go to hell Eri.
