Chapter 5: You Can't Help

Sora turns to the direction of the ghasp, a lock of red hair can be seen disappearing quickly.

Sora immediately knows who it is and picks up a rock and tosses it toward the person.

Realizing she'd been caught, Teako steps out.

"Why are you burning yourself?" Teako asks in genuin fear of the worst

Sora lifts up his hands and weaves in sign language, "It's none your business"

"If you need it," Teako hands over a peice of paper, "It's the suicide hotline"

Sora's face shows pure 'what the hell?!' As he questions how she assumed he was suicidal, he then realized what he looked like, what he did, and how he reacted.

Sora again says in sign language, "What the hell?! I'm not suicidal, I just wanted to know if it would hurt, and it didn't" he says through the hands

"O-oh" Teako realized they drew to conclusions too fast.

``I may have lied, but how could she guess so easily that I wanted to end this misery?``
