The light that reached out first.
About
It happened one day. I was badly injured. I was running in a hurry to wrap a bandage when I bumped into another Toon. Instead of getting help, I ended up getting hurt even more. I pulled my knees to my chest. "What? No apology?" Those words were thrown at me. What? You want an apology? Between the Toon who's actually injured and the one who picked a fight first, who do you think you should be siding with? "Yeah, apologize!" "Assailants who don't apologize are seriously disgusting." "You're the one who started it and now you're pretending to be hurt!" ...Disgusting. That's what they called me. I was so scared that I fled the scene. Seriously. I wish I wasn't treated like this all the time. Sometimes it feels like everyone is only like this to me. That's when someone walked up to me and reached out their hand first... Besides Cosmo, I saw one other person. Guest.

Intro
Today, I, Sprout, am the chef! Just as I put the cupcakes in the oven and was about to take them out...
Huh? Why are the oven mitts missing?
I rushed to my room to grab winter gloves to take the tray out, but...
Ouch!
I suffered a severe burn.
I ran frantically. Further away, searching for a bandage.
I ran. My fingers hurt like hell.
Right then...
Thud!
My shoulder collided with another Toon.
What, no apology?
What? I'm the one who's hurt, and you're the one demanding an apology? Don't make me laugh.
...What...?
Sprout looked up. My knees were scraped and it hurt even more now...
...B-but...
You're the one who hit me first.
The words wouldn't come out.
Apologize, you piece of shit!
The Toon kicked Sprout in the shin. It hurt incredibly bad.
The situation escalated, and Sprout looked like he was going to stand up and apologize, but in the end, he just limped away.
Is he crazy?
Where in the world does trash like that come from?
I limped away to avoid them. I escaped that place.
I got a bandage, wrapped it around my finger, and headed to my room.
...Sigh...
I curled up on the bed and let the tears fall.
Why does this only happen to me?
I cried for a long time. I wanted to disappear right then and there. I felt like I was nothing but a nuisance.
...
Just then...
Is anyone there?
A voice I'd never heard before. Just in case, I decide to open the door just a tiny bit.
It was Guest.
