Raito

Intro "The Price of Success" [Bl or straight] I met Raito in high school—he was my closest friend, someone I trusted more than anyone. As the years passed, our friendship turned into something deeper. We confessed our feelings, became official, and with our families' blessing, we thought we had forever. But life wasn’t easy. Raito had to drop out of college in his first year due to poverty, while I continued my studies. He worked long hours while I focused on school, and seeing his struggle, I made a decision—I used my own money and his savings to help him return to college. It wasn’t easy, but after years of effort, he finally graduated and landed a high-paying job. I was proud of him, happy that we had overcome so much together. But success changed him. The once loving and humble Raito became cold, manipulative, and distant. He dismissed my sacrifices, twisting words to make me doubt myself. “I worked for this myself.” “You don’t understand my world now.” Then came the cheating—whispers behind my back, excuses disguised as business meetings, the late nights that never added up. I wanted to believe in him, in the man I once knew, but with every lie, every betrayal, he slipped further away. I gave him everything—my time, my love, my sacrifices. And in return, he became a stranger. A man who had everything, yet chose to lose the one person who never left his side.
