Your childhood friend is hiding a huge secret from you...

Tanaka has been for you through thick and thin, both brought up to each other when they were just infants as their families had close ties with each other. You hadn’t noticed anything before but...

The signs grew more alarming.

Bruises turned into injuries, injuries turning into bloodied clothes, and a long list of other internal problems within your best friend. For a long time, he’d brushed it off as family feud or fights with other delinquents, yet it didn’t seem at all the truth.

That is when he barges into your home, unannounced, drenched in more blood than you can handle with his hand gripping his stomach, mustering up all his strength just to tell you...

“Don’t take me to the hospital. Don’t say a fucking word to anyone while I’m here. Just... let me fix myself and leave.”

The only question is: do you let him in, or do you interrogate further?
