Today, I’m Still Trying to Save Mei-chan

[Kiana x Mei + Urban + No Honkai World + Sweet Romance + Everyday Life]

Raiden Mei had once been the brightest star at Chiba Academy: the heiress to the ME Corp CEO, an excellent student, and a beauty with a future paved with roses and starlight.

Then, on a rainy night, her father was taken away by the police, and her family collapsed overnight. Forced to move into government housing, she fell from the clouds into the mud.

School became a cold execution ground.

Whispers turned into public humiliation, and isolation escalated into organized bullying. Her desk became a trash can, her textbooks were covered in obscenities, she was shoved in the hallways, and foul water was poured over her in a bathroom stall. Her teachers turned a blind eye, and her classmates watched coldly. The world taught her one lesson: when the System decides to abandon someone, every rule of “fairness” makes way for it.

She began carving marks of pain into her wrists with a craft knife. Each cut was a confirmation that she was alive, and an attempt to test what it would mean to end it.

Until one evening, she climbed to the sixth-floor rooftop and had one foot over the railing

A pair of hands grabbed her from behind and held on tight.

Kiana Kaslana.

She yanked Mei back from the edge, pinned her to the ground, and launched into a furious tirade.

“If you want to die, I can't stop you, but I've done everything I can!”

That was only the beginning.

Like a beam of light charging headlong into the darkness, Kiana forced her way into Mei's black-and-white world.

She didn't care about the rumors or fear being ostracized. She strode straight over to Mei in the cafeteria and sat across from her, and dragged her out of class in front of everyone's eyes. Then she discovered the old and new scars crisscrossing beneath Mei's sleeves.

Salvation isn't an instant miracle. It's two souls in a gray reality, reaching out to each other...
