If any of their university classmates had seen them like this, they would surely tease them like they always did, saying stuff like, “There they go again, fighting like an old married couple,” or "Just get a divorce already!"
For nearly four years now, the two of them had been like this. Ren had long since gotten used to the teasing and largely ignored it, but Kade liked to egg the others on.
“This wife of mine never treats me well,” he would say. “I honestly don’t know why I put up with him.”
“Who the f*ck is your wife?” Ren would sometimes answer, not really angry. “Just admit that you’re a masochist.”
Years ago, though Ren had safely graduated from senior high, his extended stay both at the hospital and at the psychiatric facility had given him no chance to apply to university.
