[Help] Help! My childhood friend keeps saying he wants to kill me. What should I do?

Post:

I'm ■■■, a poor girl who was kicked out of an orphanage and had been wandering around looking for somewhere to stay until I finally managed to settle down recently.

I won't go into the details. Long story short, my childhood friend and I were both thrown out.

Autumn came, and the weather turned cold. We had no clothes and nowhere to live. At our lowest point, we slept together on a bench in a little park (I should be grateful he always likes wearing long coats). We never knew where our next meal was coming from, worried so much we started losing hair, and nearly had to fight the stray cats for food that kind strangers gave them.

My childhood friend said he wanted to kill me because I was lying across an armchair, watching a cat being petted while it ate a feast of dried fish. I let out a wail: “I don't want to be human anymore. Being a cat would be better, boohoohoo!”

He asked me, “Do you want to be like that cat?” I said, “I could do that. I want to, too.”

Then his expression darkened in an instant.

It's hard to describe that look. I swear I'll never forget it as long as I live. If I had to put it into words, there was something subtly pleased beneath the gloom, and inexplicable excitement beneath the anger. He narrowed his eyes and looked down at me, making my skin crawl a little.

“So cute, so cute, my angel.”

His voice was high, almost like he was singing. (Since he often gets praised, praised, praised, praised, I didn't react to the first part.) But what he said next caught me completely off guard:

“What should I do, ■■■? I really want to kill you.”

Me: “?????? What??”

Aaaaaah, what is going on! Wh-what should I do! Is he really not joking? Help, how am I supposed to face him!
