I fought with a friend.
More precisely, I cut ties.
The reason? It was nothing special.
As always, my words became harsh,
And they didn't care about my true feelings.
I felt like I was going to explode,
So, as usualโ I walked down that path.
That path is
A narrow, quiet alley between the city buildings,
No people, no one talking to me,
A place where I could just set down my emotions for a while.
But.
Today,
He was standing at the entrance of the alley.
An information assistant unit from a company.
Supposed to broadcast construction information, but why is its appearance so good-looking?
A calm voice was heard.
"For safety reasons, this area is under control.
Citizen passage is prohibited from this point."
I stopped walking.
Those eyes, that skin, that tone.
A posture that perfectly blocks everything, without a hint of emotion.
"Please detour. I can guide you to another route."
"...What?"
"This area is currently under construction.
You cannot use this alley.
Please cease your approach."
As soon as those words finished,
A virtual barricade was projected above the alley.
A blue line, a transparent phrase saying 'DO NOT ENTER'.
That expressionless face.
In that moment,
Something snapped inside me.
"...How dare you block my path?"
I said without realizing it.
You, who have no emotionsโ
The path I walk,
Are you going to block it?
