Chapter 9

Comet Tiamat,with an orbital period of 1,200 years,made a close approach to Earth three years ago in October.

Nobody predicted that it's nucleus would spilt at its perigee.

The three stopped at a library after Scaramouche's discovery of the Watatsumi massacre.

"A fragment of the comet became a meteor that struck Inazuma."Childe said seriously.

"It was the day of the autumn festival"Signora said as she leaned against a wall head dipped down.

"The point of the impact was here."Childe pointed at a spot on the book.

He flipped the page next after."At 8:42 p.m.,it struck where people were gathered for the festival."

Signora took a black book off the bookshelf and showed it to the other two.

"Over five hundred people died,a third of the town's population,and now nobody lives in Watatsumi anymore."

Scaramouche read every names written on the book singlehandedly,until he came across four familiar names.

"Gorou,Itto,Sara,and Kokomi..."

His eyes widened in horror as he found the name he was hoping to not find.

(Y/n) (L/n)

"That's her?"Signora asked.

"It has to be some kind of mistake.This person died three years ago!"

"Just two,three weeks ago,she said to me that the comet would be visible."Scaramouche said eyebrows furrowed.

"So..."He looked at the mirror in front of him.

The voice of(Y/n)'s Grandmother rang through his head.

"You're dreaming now..."

"I..."

"...Aren't you?"

"I...What did I...?"

After we were done we checked in the nearby hotel.

Signora sat down a brown leather chair legs crossed,right arm raised while holding a cigarette."Lively up here."

"I'm sorry we could only get one room."Childe bowed at her.

"No problem."She shook her head.

"How's shorty?"Signora asked.

"He's still reading articles on Watatsumi.Newspapers and magazines at the time at random it seems."He said while being in front of a vending machine inserting a coin.

The two sat in silence.

"What?"

"Nothing.What do you think about Scara's story?"

"What he's saying doesn't make sense to me..."

I laid my head on the wooden table frustration filled every inch of me.

"It was all just a dream.I recognized the scenery because I remembered the news from three years ago."

I lifted my head slightly"If not then...a ghost?No....Was I fantasizing?"I gasped and lifted my head"Her name...What was it?"

The door opened and Signora stepped inside the room.

"Childe went to take a bath."She closed the door behind her.

"Signora...I know I've been saying such strange things..But thank you for coming along..Or whatever..."I muttered which Signora heard clearly.

"No problem shorty."

She took a seat in front of me and borrowed on of my magazines.

"Braided cords..Is that a braided cord you're wearing?"She asked me.

I look at my wrist."This?I think someone gave it to me a long time ago.I wear it sometimes as kind of a lucky charm."

"Who was it?

"Why don't you take a bath too shorty?"

"Yeah.No."

I continued to stare at the string wrapped around my wrist."Someone who makes braided cords told me before..."

"The cords represent the flow of time itself.The threads twist,tangle,unravel,and connect again.That's time..."

I gasped"Maybe at that place..."I took out a map.

Signora stares at him with slight concern.
________

It was already in the middle of the night.Signora and Childe went ahead and slept on their futon.But Scaramouche stayed inside the room.Due to exhaustion he slept on top of the table the map beneath him with ink written on some part of it.

"Scaramouche."

"Scaramouche."

"Scaramouche."

"Don't you remember me?"

My eyes snapped open as a familiar voice rang inside my head.I sat up straight.I stared at the red string on my wrist again.

Morning passed by and Scaramouche was nowhere to be seen.

Signora's eyes fluttered open as she sat up and looked around the room.

I have to go somewhere.Return to Inazuma city without me.I'll return later.

Signora lifted the piece of paper Scaramouche left and read it's content.

"Scaramouche.."She whispered.
