- >on the very cliff you wanted to jump from
- >Twilight smiles at you, oblivious to the turmoil in your mind
- >"Anon, it's so nice to see you. You hardly ever come to visit me at the library anymore."
- >you freeze momentarily
- >why did you stop going?
- "I've just been busy..."
- >you reply half halfheartedly
- >"Are Sweet Apple's finances that bad that you can't spare a few minutes to see a friend?"
- >She seems a little upset
- >Friend? Since when?
- "Well... you know AJ. Not very good with mathematics and all."
- >Twilight narrows her eyes at you
- >"Anon, I don't need to be Applejack to know you are lying to me."
- >fuck
- >"What are you doing out here tonight anyway? You never once took up my offers to go star gazing with me."

- >what did you do?
- "It's not that..."
- >"Then what is it?!"

- >"I tried for months to get you to come around and spend time with me. I even sent you letters because I didn't want to intrude."
- >she did
- >she sent plenty of letters
- >you never read them
- >"You hardly leave your house except near sunset so there is no way any of the girls can see you and now I come out to this place and I just happen to casually stroll by?! What are you here to do Anon? It certainly wasn't because of my latest letter and don't lie to me this time."
- >She is incredibly distraught
- "You don't want to-"
- >"Yes, I do! Why won't you just answer me?"
- >you hit your boiling point
- "To leave Twilight!"
- >she looks at you confused
- >"Leave... Ponyville?"
- >you sigh
- "I came to this cliff to jump."
- >She looks shocked
- >"B-but Anon! You don't have wings! You can't fly! What if you hurt yourself or worse!?"
- >you drop it
- "That was the plan actually"
- >Twilight's tears start again in earnest
- >"But Anon-"
- "I came here tonight so I could die alone. I can't take it anymore. I can't take being watched all the time like I am some kind of monster. I can't take feeling so alone anymore. That's why I tried so hard to come here in the first place! Amongst billions of humans, I WAS STILL ALONE!!"
- >Twilight cried harder
- >"B-uut what about me? I don't look at you like a monster... am I not good enough? I tried to be your friend but you pushed me away! I want to spend time with you but you ignored it. You CHOOSE to be this way Anon! Just like you choose that you want to leave without telling anypony."
- >you didn't want her to be right
- "I am alone! When was the last time you saw a human besides me?"
- >your resolve is breaking
- >"I haven't..."
- "The memories are the worst part..."
- >your voice dies out
- >what memories
- >you had no family
- >you had no friends
- >you left the home you had because you were alone
- >Twilight's small voice breaks your train of thought
- >"Make new ones... Most ponies avoid you because you are so reclusive.They aren't trying to hurt you, and they don't know what to say to you."
- >You knew Twilight was right
- >The ponies didn't have a bad bone in their bodies
- >You were pushing them away
- >you started to cry
- >your whole body wracked with sobs
- >something warm presses against you
- >Twilight moved beside you to nuzzle you
- >On instinct you pull her to your chest
- "I'm sorry.."
- >"Shhh"
- "I'm so sorry.."
- >"It's okay Anon."
- >you just pull her closer
- >"Everything is going to be just fine."
- >you look down at her and she smiles
- >"I promise."

- >you sold your little place for a modest sum of bits
- >you moved into the library basement at Twilight's request
- >you knew at first it was to make sure you wouldn't try to hurt yourself again
- >after a your heart-felt confession, you had no need to do that
- >You began to talk to all the ponies around town
- >they stared at you less
- >life was good
