Larry didn’t complain when Stanley slapped the back of his head. He knew Stanley was just speaking the truth.

It wasn’t until he’ll come face–to–face with deaths that Larry muly realized how terrifying it could be. All those times he had thought about ending it all now felt so childish and ridiculous.

“I won’t do it again. Larry mumbled, his head hanging as he forced a bitter smile Rubbing his sore, swollen neck, he glanced over at Quinlyn, who was sitting quietly beside him with her eyes on the sky.

His voice was hoarse as he added. “Thanks for saving me today. If you need anything, just let me know!

He said it without thinking, trying to offer something in return, a way to make up for what she’d done.

Quinlyn slowly shifted her gare from the blue sky and white clouds, and she gently shook her head. “You already bought me clothes and shoes today”

Larry almost opened his mouth to say those things weren’t a big deal, but then he saw Quinlyn focusing on wiping the bloodstains off her shoes with a tissue quietly with her head downL

She still had blood on her hands, but instead of cleaning that, she was taking extra care with the shoes—like the little gifts he’d given her were treasures.

Something warm stirred inside Larry, and at that moment, he realized that offering her money or more stuff would be insulting

Sitting up straighter, he reached out and gently ruffled Quinlyn’s hair. The soft, fluffy feel of it made his heart soften, too, and he couldn’t help but chuckle quietly. “Alright, next time I’ll get you more beautiful clothes and shoes”

As soon as he finished his sentence, Stanley rushed over, quick as a flash. With a loud smack, he swatted Larry’s hand away. “Didn’t you say she’s a troublemaker? I told you from the start–don’t get any funny ideas about my sister.”

Larry froze for a second, remembering how he had dismissed Quinlyn before they even got in the car. Then, unable to hold it back, he burst into laughter.

“I get what you meant now. But hey, sorry, she’s my friend now, and I’m gonna protect her from here on out,” he vowed.
