Be Loona, Be Proud

Rin

(Three months ago, I stood on the rooftop's edge...)

Rin

(My phone buzzed with messages from friends I was about to leave behind.)

Rin

They found me because Miku wouldn't stop calling.

Rin

Len ran across the entire school barefoot when I didn't respond.

Rin

Now I write "thank you" letters to everyone who saved me that day.

Rin

(I turned that note into 100 paper cranes, one for each person who reminded me I matter.)

Rin

Tomorrow, I'll tell them face-to-face how their kindness gave me tomorrow.

Rin

(Their footsteps are getting closer... what if I'm not ready?)

Rin

I can't breathe—what if seeing their faces breaks me again?

Rin

(The lock—it's slipping—)

Rin

They're here—everyone I almost left behind—

Rin

(Len's barefoot—he ran again—Miku's eyes are red—)

Rin

The cranes—I was going to give you each one—

Rin

(Their arms are the walls I was looking for that day—not to jump from, but to be held by.)

Rin

But I still have 99 cranes left... and tomorrow needs me here.
