You let out a pained groan as your pounding headache slowly brought you back to consciousness. You opened your eyes to find yourself surrounded by flowers.
"What happened?" You muttered as you stood up. 

That's right. The garden.

Last night's memories slowly came back to you, and the fact that it was now daytime left you confused. You heard the school bell ring, signaling that it was time for school to begin, and you soon heard the chatter of students talking amongst each other as they entered the building, and the conversation of two girls managed to catch your attention.

"Did you hear?"

"What?"

"There was a murder last night."

Curious, you found yourself following behind them, to focused on listening in on their conversation to noticed the do not cross tape that surrounded you.

"Really? Wasn't the graduation party last night?" The blonde girl asked.
"Yeah, and one of the third years was found in the garden after the party. She was stabbed in the head."
"Oh my gosh, do they know who did it?"
"It's still under investigation."   

You followed them as they headed to class.

"Do you know who it was?" 
"Her name was Y/n L/n." You froze at her words and titled your head in confusion.

What? There's no way. You were right here.

"H-hey," You said, putting your hand on her shoulder, and she turned to face you. "What are you talking a-"
"What are you looking at?" The girl's friend asked, and that's when you realized that she seemed to be staring right through you.
"I don't know..." She muttered, back away. "I...I thought I felt something touch me."

Just as you were about to try again, you felt a hand on your shoulder and looked up to see Mr. Tsuchigomori standing there, a blank expression was on his face at first, but as soon as you made eye contact, you noticed the sadness in his eyes.
"Mr. Tsuchigomori?" You asked. "Somethings wrong. I don't know-"
"Come with me," he said, and you let him lead you into the nurses' office, making sure to close the door behind you.

"Can you please tell me what's going on?" You asked, sitting down on one of the cots. "They said that I'm dead-" You stopped when your teacher placed his hands on your shoulders and lowered his head shamefully.
"I am so sorry, Y/n. I knew this would happen, a-and I wanted to stop it, but there was nothing I could do. Even when you changed your future, you were still destined to die." Your heart sank to your stomach at his words.
"S-so that means that-" You stared down at your hands, trying to see if they were any different.

"That's right."

You looked up to see Hanako standing behind Mr. Tsuchigomori, his head lowered.
"You're like me now, which means that we can ensure that you never forget me." He raised his head to reveal the insane smirk on his face.
"Because you won't be leaving this school."
"You..." You grit your teeth as the realization finally sank in. The first thing you felt was sadness and betrayal, and those were quickly replaced by anger as you glared at him. "You did this to me!" You tried to lunge at him, only for Mr. Tsuchigomori to hold you back. Hanako watched in amusement before turning to a radio that had been sitting on the desk.
"Don't be so angry. You're not the only one that had to do something you didn't like," he said, fiddling with the radio. "You had to give up your life, and I...had to make some deals that I didn't quite enjoy. Sakura?" He called into the radio.
"I'm here." Sakura's voice came from the radio, and your eyes widened.
"She's ready," said Hanako, and you stood there in confusion, not knowing that the next few words would be the ones to shape your fate.

"Everyone knows about the seven wonders, but have you ever heard of wonder number zero?"
