mai and the team were all relaying their findings to naru. the temperatures we found were all on the low end. naru made the call that we'd continue on for the night setting up cameras and microphones all over the place. he also told us all to stick together. he was very adamite on that. tomorrow he wants us to measure all the rooms and make up a floor plan to figure some shit out.  and so just like that we all started picking up all the equipment we needed.

"its gonna be a long night, hey mai shouldn't you call home or something?" mai was stood checking off all the equipment off of the list. while i was assembling the cameras so all they had to do was move them. but this question made me stop. my eyes didn't leave the ground. 

"nah its okay." smooth okay. shes got it. 

"just to let them know where you are, that your safe" munk drop it please. 

"well since I don't have any parents there's no one to pick up the phone." mai told him without looking away from the clipboard list, everyone stopped what there doing and payed close attention the the conversation, all surprised at what they just heard.

"what are you talking about? your an orphan?" munk pried into her life even more. 

"yea." silence filled the room "my dad passed away when I was little, so I don't remember him much, my mum died when I was in middle school." everyone even lin and naru were looking over and listening as intensely as they could. 

"you don't have any aunts and uncles?" 

"nu-uh neither of my parents had any siblings." mai passed me the board, I took it and grabbed what we needed. she then grabbed a new one. 

"then whose been taking care of you?" jhon inquired while he watched as I brought the stuff back showing mai I got everything. 

"oh well I had a teacher that was really nice and she let me come and live with her for a while, then that same teacher brought home mochi after her accident, we bonded over not having family, then I got a place of my own, its just me there." mai finally looked at them all with a cheery smile and bright eyes "I'm all grown up now" she told them with such happiness. you could see everyone's hearts break a little on the inside. munk dropped what he had, wrapping her around in a huge bare hug. 

"wait you said mochi doesn't have family either?" yaso asked as they all were talking and joking around with mai, this then caused them all to look at me when I was in the middle of struggling to take the camera stand out of it's bag. I had one foot on the bottom of the bag and was yanking at the stand that was just above my head with the bag still wrapped around its legs. 

"yea she did." jhon came on over and helped me take the stand out of the bag. my fucking hero. "yea my story is a bit longer though." everyone looked at me with anticipation. well okay I guess I can tell them. 

"okay so my dad died of cancer before I was born. that wasn't my fault. my mum died giving birth to me. a little my fault, so I got passed onto my aunt and uncle. the only problem is that my other relatives are all crazy, they though I was some demon child because both my parents died and I was the first girl born in the family in 15 years. I've been through it all. my first uncle -uncle jache- took care of me till i was two, he hatted my crying he locked me in a cupboard and let the maid take care of me, he left a note before his death that said 'the cry's haunt me'. I'd like to think that wasn't my fault. but after that i was passed around like a game of pass the parcel. each relative worse than the last, always ending in either a death or injury that had nothing to do with me. 

the last family member to look after me was my aunt una and her husband uncle ro I also had a cuson called jacob who moved at 18 he's the same guy from the love in the park investigation, anyway,  they wanted to beat the apparent curse I was, so they took me from shenzhen in china to shibuya city and abandoned me in the middle of nowhere, driving off without a word of goodbye or an explanation. i started walking around trying to find someone to help me but i was obviously new to the area, i didn't know my way around and so when i was walking i had gotten hit. 

by a car. 

the same car that was taking lolita to the hospital. lolita had hanika disease, an extremely extremely rare condition where flowers and vines just nature stuff sorta grows in and around your body, she'd throw up flowers and spit vines, some would call her poison ivy. there was / is a weird belief that this disease is a symptom of unrequited love. it can be medically cured but you'd loose a lot of your memories. she didn't wanna forget yaso -who she was head over heels for- so she didn't get it done but when she finally decided on getting it medically fixed, she took a cab there. that same cab got into an accident. i was 13. 

it was hit by another car, then crashed into me. this killed lola and sent me into a coma that lasted 5 years. i was 18 when i got out of it. 

the nurses took care of me awesomely, they decorated my room for me so that I could wake up to a nice surprise. they even filled up this wardrobe with their own clothes so I had some clothes for when I woke up. wanna know why I'm called mochi? its because everyone had a game of what my name would be when I woke up. they all decided to call me mochi no matter what my name was. just because my face looked squishy just like mochi. 

lola stuck around she would talk to me everyday told me all the events in the world, she'd even read me textbooks from school so i didn't miss out too much on education. when i woke up we talked for a bit and i told her she could use my body whenever she wanted. she was my first friend. 

one of the nurses -nurse kiya- is best friends with the teacher that helped mai, she told miss everything and when i woke up that same teacher got me into the high school for free on account of my history and she let me crash with her for awhile. i met mai and we quickly became besties. mai and lola weren't too close right away. 

mai had left a couple months after i started living there, she'd got her own place. i started to feel scared that at any moment my curse would happen on this lovely teacher so i told her i found a place too, even though i didn't, for a year i lived out in the old school building. i would wash my clothes using the schools washing machines and tumble dryers. if i needed clothes, or books or anything i'd go to the hospital and grab it from there. 

after the accident i realized that i had heightened power stuff which we now know is pk. at first i thought it was just cause lola was in my body but it turned out i didn't need her to do it, it was just a cool side effect of the accident. 

i used my pk to help me clean the school everynight for money to pay off my medical bills and one day get my own place, but of course naru and you guys showed up and changed my life for the better." 

i had sat down on the ground cross legged staring at the floor the whole time. when i looked up to see everyone i saw something i hadn't expected. they were all crying. and i mean like sobbing. i could even see the sadness in naru and lin's eyes. 

no one spoke. they were all trying to take it in. i was looking at mai for some help with this but she too was crying, she didn't know a lot of it. i didn't tell her so she wouldn't feel bad or pity me. 

"by the way my real name. i trust everyone in this room so im happy to tell you all that my name is (Y/N) (L/N)" 

it didn't help they all just cried more, they were blubbery messes. 

but i love them.
