no ur NOT gonna know what happens yet, we need some TAKA POV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

also i have an actual plan for chapters and plot now thanks to my incredible friend !!

sorry it took so long i spent a while planning how i want to story to progress, and this chapter i struggled with for no reason

facts u should know mentioned in this chapter:

The term 'transgender' first appeared in American English in 1965, and only became widespread in 1995. Before then, people used 'transvestite', which means a man in womans clothing, or vice versa. Of course, the term 'transvestite' doesn't mean 'transgender', it is its own identity, still is used occasionally now.

As raw materials were in short supply, chocolate manufactures were forced to substitute products and improvise ingredients in the 1940s.

Taka died in the 1940s.

Taka doesnt see anyones facial features, just blurred faces. Once summoned, he can see peoples facial features. Think Shoyas POV from A Silent Voice!

Floating.

Floating has two meanings.

Buoyant or suspended in water or air.

Not settled permanently: fluctuating or variable.

Taka has been floating for a while. Just... there.

Useless.

Floating in the Math's classroom as he watches a girl called Sayaka sneaks on her phone to text her bandmates.

Floating on the roof as another reserve course student considers taking their life. He wishes he could do something. But they need to summon him first.

Floating as everyone lives their lives, while he's stuck in time.

Looking at everyone's blurred out faces, hoping, praying, someone needs him. He needs to be useful.

You don't have a purpose if you can't be useful.

He will be useful, even when he shuts down and even something as simple as talking becomes impossible.

You're such a disappointment.

...

...

Time seems different with Taka. Slower. Quicker. There. Then not.

Sometimes it passes so quickly, it's like the morning announcement and the nighttime announcement happened a minute in between each other.

Sometimes, it's so agonizingly slow, Taka resorts to pranking other students...

Like some sort of poltergeist!

You're such a fucking weirdo.

Sometimes it's a simple trip, easily mistakable for a regular trip on your feet... sometimes it's taking the art student's digital pencil.

Sometimes he steals homework. Who's going to know it was him? There isn't an ultimate medium.

There is an Ultimate Clairvoyant, but he is positive they don't have the ability to see the dead.

You wish he could. Even if you annoyed them. Which you always do. 

Selfish.

Anyway, Taka's point is, is that he's. Fucking. Bored. 

Don't get on his tail for swearing! Seventy odd years of floating around doing jack shit does that to you!

Sure, he may act like he won't swear ever when assisting another... That is just to keep his whole story alive. If someone were to mess it all up, and everyone believed it, he would...
