> be me > mexican exchange student in Japan > late to class as always > cut through art faculty hallway > see a girl sitting alone (Kyomoto) > random psycho with a pick shows up > instincts kick in, choke him from behind > police arrive, 11 art students dead > realize Kyomoto lived by pure chance > week later, meet her at her apartment > she shows me manga she made with her childhood friend Fujino > her backgrounds are insanely beautiful > finally understand why art matters > both cry, not for death, but for life > tfw arriving late saved someone’s entire future
