Shira took a glance at the two little girls, before deciding to stand up and slowly made her way to the bathroom.

When she came to look at her reflection at the mirror, she finally looked like a different person.

"Mitsuya..." she uttered and stared at the mirror, looking at her physical features.

His lilac hair, his muscular physique, his average height, they were all exact. Even his earring.

Until she comes to realize that...

Her eyes were still green.

She tapped her pockets and felt something inside. She dug her hand inside her pant's pocket and took out something. It was small note.

The note said:
"𝕾𝖍𝖎𝖗𝖆𝖐𝖆𝖜𝖆 𝕿𝖆𝖙𝖘𝖚, 𝖇𝖊𝖈𝖆𝖚𝖘𝖊 𝖔𝖋 𝖜𝖍𝖆𝖙 𝖞𝖔𝖚 𝖘𝖆𝖈𝖗𝖎𝖋𝖎𝖈𝖊𝖉, 𝖜𝖊'𝖛𝖊 𝖌𝖗𝖆𝖓𝖙𝖊𝖉 𝖞𝖔𝖚𝖗 𝖜𝖎𝖘𝖍. 𝕸𝖆𝖞 𝖞𝖔𝖚 𝖑𝖎𝖛𝖊 𝖆 𝖌𝖔𝖔𝖉 𝖆𝖓𝖉 𝖕𝖗𝖔𝖘𝖕𝖊𝖗𝖔𝖚𝖘 𝖑𝖎𝖋𝖊. 𝖂𝖊'𝖛𝖊 𝖉𝖊𝖈𝖎𝖉𝖊𝖉 𝖙𝖔 𝖐𝖊𝖊𝖕 𝖞𝖔𝖚𝖗 𝖔𝖑𝖉 𝖘𝖊𝖑𝖋'𝖘 𝖊𝖞𝖊𝖘 𝖇𝖊𝖈𝖆𝖚𝖘𝖊 𝖋𝖔𝖗 𝖘𝖔𝖒𝖊 𝖗𝖊𝖆𝖘𝖔𝖓... 𝕴𝖙 𝖜𝖔𝖚𝖑𝖉𝖓'𝖙 𝖜𝖆𝖓𝖙 𝖙𝖔 𝖈𝖍𝖆𝖓𝖌𝖊. 𝕵𝖚𝖘𝖙 𝖙𝖆𝖐𝖊 𝖎𝖙 𝖆𝖘 𝖘𝖔𝖒𝖊𝖙𝖍𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝖙𝖍𝖆𝖙 𝖜𝖔𝖚𝖑𝖉 𝖗𝖊𝖒𝖎𝖓𝖉 𝖞𝖔𝖚 𝖔𝖋 𝖜𝖍𝖔 𝖞𝖔𝖚 𝖜𝖊𝖗𝖊."

Shira puts the note at the sink and stared at her reflection again and tried blinking her eyes multiple times but it never changed.

'There's no use, I guess.'

'No one wouldn't even notice the change, right?'

Mana barged inside the bathroom again, looking a bit grumpy, making her flinch as she watches the little girl walk to her with her hands in her hips.

"Nii-san, what's taking you so long? It's time for us to eat, remember?"

Shira chuckled as she squats a bit and carried Mana on her arms.

"Okay okay Mana, Let's go."

Shira stopped to look at herself on the mirror for the last time before she left the bathroom.

The note was blown by the wind as it escapes the bathroom's window and flew outside.

Multiple cherry blossoms flutter down the trees until the last bit, indicating the end of spring and welcoming a new season.

A new life and a new beginning.

Shira smiled to herself as they clasped their hands together.

Would it be okay for me to live as you?

Would it be okay for me to be Takashi Mitsuya?

...

Shira stared at her reflection on the mirror for a long time as she washes her hands on the school's public bathroom. Without realizing, her eyes suddenly became teary as she felt the sudden rush of emotions.

She admits, she still hasn't moved on nor has fully adjusted with the life that she's currently living in. She broke down into tears while still looking at her face in the mirror, seeing nothing but a crying lilac haired guy.

'Why am I crying? This isn't how Mitsuya acts...'

Forcefully wiping her tears away, she looked at her eyes in the mirror, seeing how green they are.

'How am I supposed to move on from my past self if these eyes kept reminding me of who I once were?'

Shira inhaled and exhaled, trying to calm herself down.

'Shira, you have no right to complain. This is what you wanted to do right? The gods left this for you. Though how much painful it would be, they're something I should be thankful for. It's a part of my former self. They could atleast let me remember who Shirakawa Tatsu is, because I can't use that name anymore.'

When she finally calmed down, she smiled at the mirror.

'That's right. Smile Shira. You're tough. You can surpass this. You can do this.'

Finally feeling relieved, she left the bathroom and went to meet up with the other Tokyo Manji Gang Members who were waiting for her outside the school.

No matter where I may be or where this would take me, I'm happy to know that I'll always be...
