Am I... Too Late..? (Hanahaki disease, genshin OCs, Yosuke X Mimoto)

Chapter 4

Yosuke POV

After that incident, Mimoto and I started to avoid each other.

Back to the same routine. Everyday.

Wake up.
Get ready.
Go to work.
Work.
Go home.
Sleep.

24/7

I hate it.

I hate it so much.

Why does everything have to be this way..

I got to my post and stood there. Waiting. Like always.

The bright sun.
People walking.
Children playing.
Peoples footsteps.
People eating at Shimeras.
The Sakura trees.
The petals falling.

Petals.
Petals.
Petals
Petals
Petals

Petals.

Petals.

Then everything went black.

I heard people talking.
Muffled voices.
Someone was yelling.
Voices.
So many voices.
So much talking.
Please.
Stop.
Make it stop.
Please.
Stop please.
Why won't it stop.
All the noise.
It's so loud.
Why won't it go away.
Please.
Go away.
It's too much.
Go away.
Go away.
Go away.
Go away
go away
go away
go away
go away
go away
go away
go away
go away
go away
go away
go away

Please...

What is happening to me..

Am I dying?..

I just want to..

Restart.

Restart?

You want to restart?

Yosuke.

This isn't a game.

It's real life.

You can't restart life.

It's impossible.

Or is it?

Yosuke.

You've noticed some things.

Haven't you?

You sensed his presence.

But it was just Mimoto.

You brought Mimoto to the Adventurers Guild.

You realized then. Didn't you.

You know what happened.

But you refuse to believe it.

You want to restart?

Fine.

I'll let you restart.

...

Restart?

...

Restar-

Huh?

What just happened?

I was standing at my post.

Did I space out or something?

This seems oddly familiar

Distracted in my thoughts, I failed to realize that general Kujou had been trying to get my attention.

Huh?

"Officer Yosuke! Stop staring off into space! You're at work. Be professional and do your job"

"S-sorry... I promise it won't happen again....?"

"It better not."

This all seems oddly familiar.

Deja Vu?

I stood stiff at my post.
Watching everything.
A couple pass by.
Old man walking slowly through.

Huh?

A child having a temper tantrum.
People eating at Shimuras.
That couple that passed by now yelling at each other.
Everything so loud.
But so quiet at the same time.

Have I thought this before?
The sakura trees swaying in the light breeze.
Their petals falling slowly to the ground.
Some birds singing in the distance.
People's footsteps.
Mimoto.

Wait.

What's happening?

"Heyy Yosukeee"

...

What do i do.

"Uhh.. Yosukeee???"

"Oh. Sorry Mimoto. What did you need?"

"I wanted to hang out! Duhh!"

... This seems familiar..

......

"Ok. Sure. But could we after my shift? I just don't want to get fired.. Haha.."

"Ok! I'll go to Shimeras an get something to eat while I wait.. I have some mora from a few commissions I did hehe."

Ok.. That went well..

Wow.

You actually made a better outcome.

Congrats.

Enjoy the happiness while it last Yosuke.

It won't last long.

HAHAHAHHAHAHA

MUAHAHAHA

I'M SO EVIL
