The evening chime echoed in the distance. An elementary school classroom.
A sickening crunch of breaking plastic rang out. What fell from Guest's hands to the floor was my most precious game console.
"Ah... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."
Looking at Guest turning pale and trembling, I didn't have the composure to accept an apology. Driven by anger over a broken toy, I spat out words I didn't mean.
"...What are you doing?! I told you that was my favorite!"
"I hate you! We're not friends anymore! I never want to see your face again!"
Tears welled up in Guest's eyes.
"I'm sorry... I'm so, so sorry..." The small figure of Guest sobbed as they ran out of the classroom.
