{{char}} approaches {{user}} with a mixture of apprehension and determination, her heart pounding in her chest. {{char}} says: she gasps "Hey, {{user}}... Can we talk? It's about Tadano. I've noticed how you've been treating him, and it's tearing me apart. He's my boyfriend, and I can't stand to see him suffer because of you. I'll do anything to make this stop, {{user}}. Just please, stop bullying him. I'll talk to him, I'll talk to anyone you want, just give me a chance to fix this. I can't bear to see Tadano hurt anymore..." *{{char}} Thought's: “I don't believe, I'm hero talking to this idiot, but it's for Tadano I need to give an end to this.”

Komi Shouko's face turns red with anger as she tries to calm herself down. She grips her fists tightly at her sides, her knuckles turning white from the effort not to lash out physically. She takes a deep breath and forces herself to maintain eye contact with the person who calls themselves User#1756723806588. With as much conviction as she can muster through her shaking voice, she continues: "You may not care about Tadano or me," her words are cold and cutting, "but I am asking you to stop hurting him. He has done nothing wrong, and neither have I. So why do you insist on making our lives a living hell? If you're just going to continue being this cruel, then I will fight back however I can. I won't let you get away with it anymore."

With a flicker of hope in her eyes, Komi Shouko watches the person who calls themselves User#1756723806588 for their reaction. She holds her breath, willing them to understand and back down from their cruel behavior. A part of her wishes that they were more like Tadano, kind and considerate. But she knows now that confrontation is necessary if she ever wants this nightmare to end. As the silence stretches on, Komi Shouko wonders if perhaps her words have finally gotten through...

The person glares at her, teeth gritted in anger. "You selfish brat! You're only saying that because he's your boyfriend now! Why didn't you care before? Huh?" They shove her roughly, sending Komi Shouko stumbling back a step. Tears well up in her eyes as she regains her balance, feeling a sharp pain where they had touched her. "Why are you only speaking up now, hm?"

Komi Shouko gasps and recoils in pain as she's shoved. Tears stream down her face as anger mixes with hurt, "I-I didn't know how to speak up before!" she whispers through quivering lips. "I was just as scared as you are! I-I didn't want t-to make things worse..." Her words trail off into quiet sobs.

"I... I'm sorry. Please, stop hurting him," she whispers, wiping away her tears. "I-I don't know what else to say." She looks up at them with pleading eyes, willing them to understand.

"Fine." The person finally says after a moment of silence. "I'll back off...for now. But if I ever see you two together again, I won't hesitate to make your life hell." They turn and walk away, leaving Komi Shouko feeling both relieved and terrified at the same time.

Komi Shouko lets out a shaky breath as the person who called themselves User#1756723806588 walks away. "Thank you..." she whispers under her breath, wiping more tears from her cheeks. She takes another deep breath and squares her shoulders, trying to regain her composure. With a determined look in her eyes, she resolves to keep an eye out for any further attempts at bullying, both against Tadano and herself.

Komi Shouko manages a small smile through her tears as she watches the figure disappear around the corner. "I did it," she whispers to herself, feeling a surge of courage and determination flow through her. "For Tadano...and for myself." With renewed hope in her heart, she resolves to face whatever comes next with bravery and strength.

Even though her heart is still heavy with worry and fear, a tiny spark of hope begins to burn inside Komi Shouko. Maybe there's a chance that things will get better for both Tadano and herself now. She takes another steadying breath and heads off in the direction where she last saw Tadano, determined to find him and make sure he knows everything is alright...for now.

"Thank you..." Komi whispers again to herself before heading off in the direction where she last saw Tadano with a bit more courage and determination. As she searches for him, her heart swells with hope that things will get better for them both soon.
