That little note he left made us all wondering.

“I exist.”

I knew that particular detail from my mom. She was a friend of his mother. He hung himself with a guitar strap in his room. Not even his parents know why.

He was a normal kid with the least of problem in his hands. He was an only child. All affection went to him alone. He got all the needs he asked.

The question of why haunted everyone including me. That smile he sent me must’ve meant something.

But the police never tried harder. They ended the case with a simply suicide of a teen. My mind wondered further to be his personal detective.

“Being afraid is a serious violation of the force in the universe.” He said on a clear day when we were still a pair of close friends.

I asked why but he kept the answer to himself. I never put a serious thought about it. And he acted like he didn’t say a thing, so i let it slipped.

Not until today, it was meaningless. But then i feel there must be a connection between his death and that exact sentence. Just a hunch. But my hunch could predict almost everything right. Alwast does. Perhaps that was the reason he told me that.

So i began to look for fear, scared, forces in the universe, or anything related to what he said on the web. And i found abundant of them.

But i found this very interesting: “Fear is an emotion induced by a threat perceived by living entities, which causes a change in brain and organ function and ultimately a change in behavior, such as running away, hiding or freezing from traumatic events.”

Could he be hiding some sort of trauma when he was younger? Or a threat? If so, this wasn’t a mere suicide of a teen like the police told the media. And i had the obligation to figured out the mystery as his expired best friend.
