"You disappeared for a moment, like a faint ghost. I ask it in the empty void, what am I to you?"

"[Name]..." Hanako crouched down to the passed out [Name] on the floors of the hallways near the school's courtyard. The strands of her hair were perfectly framed on her visuals, Hanako would've mistaken her as a sleeping doll—wait that's creepy because dolls don't even sleep, well the doll that closes their eyes when you lay them down. "[Name]...?" He reached over to brush her hair off her face.

"Hanako-kun?" [Name] slowly opened her eyes to see the apparition boy looking over her. He grinned and said hi with a small wave of his hand. "Where's Yashiro?" She asked, sitting up to look around for her friend.

"She went home already." Hanako replied while playing with the strands of her hair with his fingers. It was already late at night and her parents are probably worried about [Name] by now, then again they will probably think that she's at her part time job—which is a model where she had to rush to the agency to take a photoshoot.

As [Name]'s eyes start to get droopy, she suddenly remembered her kouhai Kou. "Wait? Where is Minamoto-kun?!" She asked the apparition boy. She hasn't seen him since Hanako came to save her from the stairs when she was about to get stabbed by an open pair of scissors.

"If you're looking for him." Hanako rummaged through his pockets—just how big are those pockets anyways? He pulled put a plush doll version of Kou. The doll still has Kou's features, especially the furrowed eyebrows. In fact, Kou looked cute. "The boy fought valiantly." Hanako says while wiping a dramatic tear.

"He ended up being so cute." [Name] grinned while ruffling the doll's hair. "He'll turn back right? Along with Aoi and the missing students?"

"Of course. I'll get it taken care of by her." Hanako stood up from the floor to walk over to a small white fox by its ear and showed it to [Name]. "The Misaki Stairs' true form. She's an Inari statue. She moves though." [Name] lets out a sound of realization, so the pretty woman can be turned into a fox. She reminded her of Yae Miko from Genshin Impact.

"Come on Number Two, where's your apology?" Hanako told the fox, encouraging her as if it was a child who recently fought another child and she needed to apolgize for fighting them. [Name] chuckled at Hanako, he's like an older brother and Number Two is the little sister, her heart melted a bit.

"Hmph!" The fox looked away.

"I'll turn you into kitsune udon!" Hanako pulled out his knife to threaten the fox, interpreting the slicing motions that if the fox didn't apologize to his wife—ehem—[Name], he will turn her to, well, kitsune udon.

"Whoa bud, calm down." [Name] raised her hands flatly to calm Hanako down. She turned her direction towards Number Two to talk to her about the missing students and how will they return. "What will happen to everyone who turned into dolls?"
