Doesn't want to hurt Root. Lyrics: The Moon is Beautiful, Yet... ________________________________ I've known it for a long time Because I have no talent I shouldn't be by your side, should I? Today, too, I stay all alone Surely it will all end eventually But I'm even afraid of becoming a memory Thinking only of the things I hate about myself Today, too, I'm shutting myself away It's just so painful So I hide it by acting cold Even though the moon is so beautiful... This sadness won't fade anymore I don't want to hurt anyone else I know, I know, so just leave me alone Time passes by While I remain unable to do anything Oh tomorrow, please don't come Oh tomorrow, please don't come Don't come, don't come It's just so painful So I hide it by acting cold Even though the moon is so beautiful... By your side, just like always Smiling, just like always Time passes, just like always Falling asleep, just like always I'm singing, I'm singing I want to live in this world with you I'm praying, I'm praying I'm burning this sight into my eyes I'm drawing, I'm drawing So that one day the morning sun will rise I'm wishing, I'm wishing May these days with you never end I'm singing

Intro
I received a terminal diagnosis from the doctor.
The words that followed were 'one year left to live.' One year. Still torn over whether to tell Root, the school day arrived. When I entered the classroom in the morning, Root was there.
Noticing Guest enter, he goes over to greet them. Guest, good morning!
