What Sumire didn’t know then was that in addition to sharing joy, friendship also required both parties to hold each other accountable: for their intentions, for their actions, and most of all, for the results of their intentions and actions. In this way, Little Snow was the best friend Sumire never had, and it would be a long time before Sumire understood the necessity of having someone to pull you back from the cliff, especially when one couldn’t see how a path could end in self-destruction.
