Marin's pov:
It was so late at night about 10pm.
I per usual cosplay myself to perfected the art of acting and characterization. While rehearsing line from the character.
Me: "Foolishness. Dante. Foolishnes-"
*Notification sound*
Huh? Who the fuck is chatting me late at night!? Annoying bastard.
Anonymous number:
"Hello Marin-chan. How are you during this evening?"
"Marin-chan, please respond."
Tch! Another annoying creeps. Why do i always be targeted by weirdo?!.
I was about to block him when this person texted again.
Anonymous number:
"Marin-chan... Or should I call you Bunny-San"
My finger freezes in place as memory surges back.
.
.
.
.
Random girl: "Hey Hey Marin-San. Is this you??"
The girl shows the profile of BunnyLove16. My cosplay profile.
Me: "Of course! I love to cosplay"
Random girl: "Ohh... I see" She said with a weird smile.
I just give her a kind and fake smile.
And then the next day everyone knew about it. Of course at that moment I felt like celebrity
Many people started to talk to me even more with "affection".
That was 1 year ago. Everything was going fine with me showered with fame and compliment.
Until.. That day, after I finished the cosplay event at Tokyo and I came home. Only to find an envelope infront of my apartment.
I settled in my apartment while slowly opening the envelope. What inside traumatised me.
It was.... picture of me, many of them.
Even one where I was changing into my cosplay.
Suddenly after that I got a text.
Anonymous number:
"You saw the content of the envelope didn't you? Say it Marin. Do you think i wouldn't leak all of this? Come on."
He sent pictures of me, many, many of them.
"Come on cosplay as these with me."
And he continues to sent more image.
It was a scene. A scene from many doujin. A scene from 18+ series.
I was terrified. I was scared to breath. I immediately throw the phone against the wall.
My heart won't stop beating. My body couldn't stop shaking. Cold sweats covered me. Tears won't stop coming out. My body curling into a ball. I kept repeating...
.
.
.
.
Why me? Why me? Why me? Why me? Why me? Why me? Why me? Why me?
Why me? Why me? Why me? Why me?
WHY ME? WHY ME? WHY ME? WHY ME?!?!!?!
.
.
.
.
Due to that here I'm in Jura. I decided to runaway from Japan to this small country. Hoping that the same thing wont fucking happened again but now. It had happened again.
Anonymous number:
Me: "What do you want?" I type slowly.
Then that person send pictures of me in school uniform.
"If you don't want your precious identity to leak out. Meet me at the rooftop at lunch time without bringing your phone."
And then. The person left me on read even though I tried to text them.
This unpredicted event triggered my trauma. I drop the phone as I slowly turn pale, sweats dropping like it was raining, eyes became blurry due to tears forming up.
I ran toward my bed and cover my self with the blanket. My body shaking uncontrollablely. My sobs echoes through the half decorated room.
"Fuck.. Fuck... Shit... Why... Why me.. What did I do to deserve this..." I continues to sobs while cursing my very own existence.
Hours went by my body already calmed down. Yet my souls already began to rotten. I could not even closes my eye to sleep because if I do..
All I think about is the tragedy that had happened to me.
Morning light starts to fill my room.
.
.
.
.
I arrive at Jura Education Highschool, with dead eyes.
The energy leaving my body, just like my all friend leaving me when I need them.
This world is filled with fakers...but aren't I one of them?
I let out a sad chuckle as I entered the empty classroom.
.
.
(Thing went as in Chapter 3)
.
.
I could not even focus on the teacher lecture. As time went on, the agonising pain waiting for me and it finally came with the rang of the bell.
My body couldn't stop shaking in fears. As I stares as the message from the unknown number.
With my shaking leg I stood up from my desk as I slowly walk towards the door of the classroom.
I noticed something. Servent and his friend did not came to school evident by their desk is empty.
My beavy breath is the loudest thing I heard as I walk toward the uncannily quiet fifth floor. The fifth floor is just storages and science labs and the only way to go to the rooftop.
I slowly walk up the stair towards the rooftop as the door opens. I find no one.
As I continues to wonder at the empty rooftop. The door slam open, when I turn my back I saw a boy holding a knife.
Stalker: "Hi hi, Marin-chan. How are my angel doing?"
Marin: "Who are you fucker??" I tried to retaliate. But due to the knife he's holding, my body instinctively step back.
Stalker: "Wait.. Marin-chan why are you using such bad word?" the stalker slowly lower his knife and began laughing like a maniac.
Stalker: "Wait don't tell me... HE CORRUPTED MY ANGEL?!!? THAT PIECES OF SHIT!!
What is this crazy guy talking about?!!
Marin: "What are you talking about you unadulterated pieces of sperm?!"
Stalker: "Its okay Marin-chan. I will reshape you back to the old Marin-chan."
The boy slowly move towards me. No
No, no no no no! Step back.
Before he could take his 3rd step.
The rooftop entrance slam open.
Police: "HANDS IN THE AIR!!"
My eye widen as I saw.. Teacher (Blaze), Rimu and... Addy.
.
.
.
.
Rimu's pov: last night
I yawn loudly as the end credit of the movie we watch finally rolls.
Me: "Ahh sucks." i said as i stretches my body.
Blaze seeing that just give me a smile.
Blaze: "Go to your bed. A young man like you need to sleep to grow you know."
Me: "Yeah yeah. Alright let's clean up before we go to bed."
He just let out a giggles as we both starts to clean the living room.
Suddenly a the bell door rang. Continues by series of knocks.
Blaze as the older brother go to check by opening the door.
Addy: "Thank god you're still awake."
He is gasping for air as his eye darted towards the bicycle behind him. With him in his school uniform.
Blaze: "Addy, what are you doing her-"
Addy: "Uncle can give me the student files?!" He said with eye burning with determination.
Seeing that he know something had happened.
Blaze: "Please come in."
Addy bow down before entering.
Me: "Are you goo-"
Before I could finishes my greeting this meathead pull me toward upstairs to my room.
Me: "Oi oi!! Chill!!" I said as he look at me as if he ready to fight someone.
Addy: "Can i ask a favor? Please use your damned hacks skill." He really seems desperate.
I just let out a quiet sigh.
Me: "Sure sure. But treat me later."
I turn on my pc as Blaze came in with his laptop.
Blaze: "Yo Addy. Here." He said as he gave him the student profile files to Addy.
He searches frantically for someone.
He eyes moves faster as he look at everyone faces.
Addy: "Yes! Rimu! Please look into his guy history! All his media accounts and more!"
He shows me a picture of a random student.
Me: "Why this guy?"
Addy: "I'll explained later please do it now!"
He look over to my big brother.
Addy: "Can you help out with a police business?"
.
.
.
.
Third Pov:
Rimu is running background check and hack into few systems as per Addy request to gather more proof.
While Addy explained the situation.
Addy: "Basically someone will threaten to kill Marin Kitagawa."
Rimu at first doesn't trust him as he doesn't have proof nor it sound convincing.
But it was the polar opposite of Blaze whom immediately trust him.
They spent the whole night making plans.
At only 5:30 am. They execute their plan. As Blaze drive his car with Addy and Rimu at the back with their uniform. Already knock out from the overnight planning we'll just Rimu, Addy is still awake serious like he's ready to kill.
Rimu is sleeping like a baby as he uses Addy's lap as his pillow.
.
.
.
.
After that they arrive Jura highschool early than everyone. The boys follow Blaze to the teacher office, to put warn the other teacher about not using the fifth floor before third year lunch time.
Blaze finally call the police and talk about their problems. Not so surprisingly it was his friends.
Addy wonder why his friend family is filled with bizarre history.
At the start of the school Blaze goes to teach their class while Addy and Rimu goes to the rooftop to put up a hidden camera.
While waiting for Blaze's police friend.
When he arrive in normal clothes. So no one would suspect anything.
Rimu and Addy brought him to the fifth floor and into one of the storage room where they made places to wait. While Rimu uses Blaze Laptop as a monitor for the camera.

Marin's pov:
Huh? A police?.. What?..
Police: "Put down the knife! And put your hand in the air." he said with a taser gun in his hand
The stalker turn his back. His anger exploded as he tried to retaliate by charging with a knife.
Only to be shoot by the taser until he stop retaliating.
I, who witnessed it, still confuse. How did they know. How did...
My body is still shaking. As my mind is blank like a white canvas.
The police immediately move in and capture the assilent.
Huh.. Seeing Addy closes his distance towards me.
Addy: "You guys can go first. I'll help her out."
Blaze give a thumbs up as he shouts before following his police friend.
Blaze: "HEY LITTLE MARIN! MAKE SURE TO THANK HIM, HE'S THE ONE WHO MADE ALL THIS PLAN!"
He said as Rimu let out a sigh and follow him.
Addy just stand there as my leg finally gave out. Tears forming up but this time it wasn't from fear or trauma. It was from relief.
Me: "Tha- thank you so much" My words is inaudible due to me sobbing and crying ugly
He just at me as he pull out his handkerchief and hand it to me.
Addy: "Marin Kitagawa."
He said it as i use the handkerchief to wipe my endless tears and snot. Trying to compose myself to help myself from being vulnerable.
Me: "Huh?"
Addy: "Hey… you don't have to smile right now. I know you think people only like you when you're cheerful — when you light up the room, when you make everyone laugh.
But I see"
He knelt infront of me and uses his own sleeves to wipe my tears.
Addy: "I don't know why you do that. But please put down the mask. You don't have to act anymore. You're really cool person. Marin."
He said with a slight smile on his face. I stares at him and immediately burst out even more.
Me: "You freaking stupid fucker! In this scenarios you should comfort the girl instead of advising them!" I cried even more.
.
.
.
.
Addy's Pov:
After a while. I just sit infront of her waiting for her to calm down. I don't know what to do. I really have no idea how to comfort someone.
Marin sobs slowly subdued as I could only use my sleeve to wipe it as my handkerchief is already so wipe and covered in snot.
Marin: "Thank you so much.." She still sobbing a little.
Marin: "You're a really kind person. Addy"
The smile on my face disappear. Before clicking my tongue.
Me: "Alright. Here the key to the All Doing clubs"
Marin slowly took it and look at me.
Me: "Blaze would want you to rest. So let's go."
As we both slowly walk down the stairs.
.
.
.
.
"kind" Huh? Am I really a kind person? All I did is do what I want other to do for me.
You're only a character in BRS Marin. You don't know what kindness is. If you call me "kind" then you're already wrong.
I'm the worse person there is. I am..
It's my fault.. My very own existence is a mistake. I know that.
