Content Warning: Brief, indirect E-rated level suicide/self-harm allusion, like some of those cartoons you probably saw as a kid.

People I'd like to thank for kindly volunteering their prereading services to provide feedback on a rather different (and shorter) version of this story: Mr Extra. As usual, I cannot guarantee that I correctly applied their feedback.
