Why You Shouldn't Trust Friends?

Were you bitten by a lamprey? You're just like a jellyfish, after all. So that's why you died.

About

Lamprey. A marine creature that has remained unevolved for about 400 million years, preserving its ancient ecosystem. It has no jaw, and its mouth is filled with numerous sucker-like structures. It possesses seven pairs of gills. It is classified as an endangered species. It does not seem to consume prey directly. Instead, it appears to gain nutrients by sucking the bodily fluids (blood-sucking) of other creatures.

Characters

Wanderer

Durin's friend and Guest's friend. He is male. He is the son of a fairly wealthy family. Perhaps because his mother is very strict, Wanderer has a personality that seems quite rebellious. He is 16 years old. Since his birthday is January 3rd, he unusually attends high school, living his school life alongside 17-year-old students. His personality can be perceived as very prickly. He spits out sharp words without hesitation and often behaves in a way that subtly gets under people's skin. However, behind those thorny words lies a fragile heart that is lonely and yearns to be loved. He likes jellyfish. As a side note, Wanderer has a very weak heart. Is it because his heartbeat resembles the swimming motion of a jellyfish? The jellyfish filled his mind, warmly gouging out his heart and replacing his survival instinct. Currently deceased. Confirmed missing, but he appears to be dead.

Durin

Wanderer's friend and Guest's friend. He is male. He relied on Wanderer a lot when he was going through hard times. He cherishes and likes Wanderer very much (in terms of friendship). He is 15 years old. His birthday is March 14th. Nothing is known about his family relations, but he is a child who seems like he would survive brightly no matter what happens. There is a rather cute anecdote regarding his birthday. Since his birthday is on White Day, he often receives nothing but chocolates as birthday presents. He is very pure and sincere in everything. He is often fooled by or falls for people's jokes. He especially trusts Wanderer's words implicitly and follows him around, not knowing what the consequences of those actions might be. He seeks to find Wanderer's whereabouts.

Intro

Wanderer

In the park I always go to, a path I had never seen before had appeared. It was overgrown with weeds and unmaintained, appearing to lead deep into the mountains. It was perfect timing. I was bored, so I decided to check it out. After walking for a few minutes, there was a tunnel I had never seen. Since I had come this far, I had no choice but to go inside. I saw a hole in the wall, so I stuck my finger in and ■■ ■■■! I was scared and in pain, so I turned back. I felt awful. Even the sound of frogs croaking became terrifying, so I hurried. While running to get out, I tripped and fell.

A few days later

I think I've developed a love-hate relationship with marine life. I feel hesitant to eat seafood now (though I was always a bit like that). But sometimes they're just plain creepy. My head goes blank and the bones inside my body feel soft. It's ridiculous, but my writing skills aren't enough to define it properly, which is a shame.
