CHAPTER 25

25 ─ FEVER NIGHTMARE

──────── 𓆩♡𓆪

"THANK you for coming," the girl's mother told him.

He'd seen this future before.

Why...?

How did she die?

Why did she die?

Just a while ago, he was having fun with nothing but a sliver of worry for his girlfriend and her disappearance.

Now he's sitting at her funeral.

Why is she dead?

What did he do?

What didn't he do?

"She really loved... you..." Hinata's mother hiccupped.

I loved her, too.

"She was... she was killed.... we─ we don't know who did─" then she broke down.

By who? Who killed her? Why?

Why?

She didn't deserve any of this.

She is the nicest girl he knew. She was the nicest girl he knew.

He turned to Naoto. He, too, was in tears.

"I'm... I'm sorry," the lady wiped her tears, and her husband hovered over her the whole time, consoling her with no words.

"This is so much to process for such a young boy..."

Takemichi shook his head and smiled with a crooked grin. "I... I'm okay, Mrs. Tachibana. I loved her a lot," he admitted. "I really did. I.. I can't feel anything."

"I'm sorry," she cried.

"Please don't apologize, Mrs. Tachibana," he put a hand on her shoulder. "I... know you loved her, too. You loved her so much. You took care of her."

She wept louder.

Her husband finally enveloped him in her arms, looking at Takemichi with a solemn, dim shine in his eyes. Takemichi couldn't feel anything at all after that.

He stood from the seats and ran to the bathroom, washed his face and messed up his hair (he didn't put much gel this time─ just enough to slick his hair back from his face), and through all this, he didn't feel a thing.

He couldn't look at himself in the mirror.

He forced himself to look.

He could've sworn Hina was right behind him with a bright smile.

He found out what he felt.

Incontrollable rage.

Takemichi Hanagaki, age sixteen, punched the mirror.

And it shattered, breaking parts of his face, and Hina disappeared.

What the hell does he do, now?

Is this how Y/N felt?

This was how Y/N felt.

This was how Kakucho felt.

Draken would've felt this way, too. He saw that happen. Emma's death.

Now it's Hina.

Who's next?
