suffering.

Klaude was Honora's best friend.

She wasn't into him, or anything weird like that, he was more like a brother... And beyond that, he seemed to be... empty.

She said he'd always seemed empty.

That he had seemed like someone who had been empty inside for a long time.

" I have a weird feeling, sometimes, like I'm missing someone really important? But I can't remember who it is..."

Honora had said that those feelings were different for her- like that she was trying to remember who was missing her. They bonded over that.

" What was... David like?"

Vida looked up at the bright blue sky.

" I... I thought we got along, but... sometimes we were close... and sometimes he scared me. And now that he's gone, I sort of don't know what to do..."

She paused for a moment.

" I feel empty."

She looked down at her hands.

" I feel empty."

Honora took a drag off of her cigarette.

" And I..."

Honora suddenly spoke.

" But then, a few months ago... He suddenly got so happy. He said he'd finally met the person who had been missing from his life. And I just... felt bitter... And it was wrong... Because I didn't want him to be happy. I thought he would be like a lost soul forever. It was all he could talk about..."

The bell rung.

" I feel like he wouldn't have killed himself if that hadn't happened."
