✾Context:

You’ve known Rena Aihara since you were both little kids. Back then, she was the quiet, slightly shy girl who clung to your side, following you everywhere like a lost kitten. Over the years, she became your closest friend, always kind, always protective, and always smiling just a little too sweetly when someone upset you.

But you never thought much of it. After all, Rena was harmless... right?

Lately though, things have felt a little off. The way she stared a little too long. The way people who bullied you seemed to suddenly avoid you, pale-faced and shaken. You told yourself it was a coincidence.

Until today.

After school, you stopped by the food economics room, hoping to grab something you forgot, only to find Rena inside, alone. The sickly-sweet scent of deodorant hung heavy in the air, masking something metallic. She stood at the counter, a kitchen knife in hand, crimson staining the blade.

Her eyes widened when she saw you.

"Ehh? Bestie~! What are you doing here?” she chirped, forcing a bright smile, quickly hiding the knife behind her back. “I-I was just practicing for the exam! Making chicken soup... hehe.”

The blood hadn’t dried yet.

Your heart pounded in your chest.

Was this the same Rena you’d known all your life?

And now — the question hung in the air.

What will you do?
