It would be hard to let go of the burden you carried from your past. However, maybe it was time to let go. Well, you were willing to at least give it a try. For her.

-------------------------------------------------

The walk towards the female bathrooms at the end of Nene's every school day had become the norm for you. As much as you hated the person harboring the cursed toilets, you had grown used to this routine. A small sigh fell from your lips as your mind swirled with a familiar feeling of annoyance. Nene's disappointed eyes haunted your mind, ushering you to let go of your distaste towards him. However, your mind was stubborn and persistent, having sinked its teeth and claws into the sour memories like a furious alley cat. How fitting, you thought.

Glancing up at your companion, you chewed on what you saw; Nene's expression was becoming less and less dissatisfied with her job as Hanako's personal janitor as the days went by. You didn't know how to feel about that. Was she actually looking forward to spending time with him?

"There you are, my little helper!" Hanako greeted Nene with open arms, leaning against the entrance of the girls' bathroom. You sat quietly next to Nene, sealing your lips shut to prevent any distasteful remarks from slipping by.

"I don't understand why I have to clean these bathrooms almost every day," Nene groaned out, shoving Hanako gently as she walked past him. Hanako pouted at her complaint.

"Do you really want to revert back to your fishy form that bad? I guess it can't be helped-" Hanako sighed, hand approaching a fish tank that was conveniently in his reach. Nene sewed her mouth shut very quickly at that.

Shooting Hanako a dirty glare, you scoffed in his general direction. "As if I would allow you to do that," you commented with a low voice. Hanako turned to you with a hum of acknowledgement.

"And what could you ever possibly do to me, hmmm kitty? Scratch me? Maybe bite me with those itty bitty teeth?" Hanako smiled in a condescending way, proudly holding his head high with an amused glint in his eyes.

"It seems that you're still oblivious to the fact that you know nothing of me," you replied with an irritated huff.

"Same goes for you silly," Hanako chuckled, his tone teasing and oh-so irritating.

Briefly considering whether you should respond to his remark or not, you decided to reply with a silent glare. He was right- you might've known him back then, but you had no idea what he was exactly like nowadays.
