TW: character's death, blood, and some more but nothing new compared to some other chapters and as I do not want to spoiler here it goes.

Two days before the day

Megumi's POV

I tap the pen on the table quickly looking at the clock on the classroom wall.

I can't pay attention to whatever the teacher is saying.

I have a terrible feeling about today... I don't know why but I am more anxious than usual and I am usually never wrong about these things...

Is it work? No, today I have the day off.
Is it because of tomorrow's test?...No, I already studied for that...

"Pstt- Fushiguro"

I look to the side at girl who called me and she points to my backpack with her pen.

I raise an eyebrow and see that a light appears in the place where my phone is.

Who's calling me at this hour?

"It's the second time I've seen it light up so it must be important" she whispers again and I get even more confused as I bend down to open the small bag and take out the phone.

"Babe <3" is calling...

My anxiety increases when I see that I already had 3 other unanswered calls.

I see Nobara lean in her chair to see my phone screen and we quickly look at each other in concern as she raises her hand.

"Yes, Kugisaki?"

"Me and Megumi need to be excused, it is urgent" she says as I watch the teacher look confused at us before nodding.

I quickly grab my backpack without remembering to put my things that were on the table inside of it and run out the door.

Luckily he still hadn't hung up, so as soon as I left I answered the call.

"Hey Yuji, what happened? Are you okay!?"

I ask a little too loudly starting to leave school, too worried to wait for my friend.

"Are you Megumi?" a thick voice asks.

I know this voice, it's the voice of Yuji's strange friend...Todo I think.

What the hell happened?

Kugisaki bumps into me as I stop in my tracks.

"Yes it is me. What happened to Yuji? Is he okay?"

"I don't know...We were in class but he started to panic and asked to go to the bathroom... but this was an hour ago... I went looking for him but I can't find him anywhere, he even left his backpack in the room but i noticed he took his house keys in his pocket so i guess he went home..."

I start walking fast

"What did he say before leaving?" I ask

"He just said he was tired and that he needed to stop something... I don't understand, he has been anxious lately."

Shit. Shit. Shit.

I quickly hang up and start running towards the station but I feel an arm pull me.

"We'll take my car" the girl next to me says waving a pair of keys in her hand.

Sometimes I forget that she got her driving license.

I just nod and follow her towards the car, getting into the passenger seat as she sits next to me and starts the car.

I feel a lump forming in my throat.
I have a terrible feeling.
I know what he's going to do.
