[But wasn’t it Sunny’s fault in the first place? He had run away, locked himself in his room for four years, and even his attempt the past three days had been… pathetic.

He had failed, in so many ways than just one. But… Kel. Kel was here. Why? And yet… the teen couldn’t ask the question. He was afraid to know, afraid that it was somehow his fault.
