"Kazuha! I'm done with your stupid hiding! Just come out already!" You yelled, running around the garden maze that you stumbled in, completely scared out of your life.

Recall: You started to find Kazuha last chapter to ask him about Heizou finding out and you ended up going everywhere he went but you always missed him every time.

A few moments ago:

You stepped into the garden, looking for any sign of Kazuha and his stupid face but he was nowhere to be seen. Right when you were about to ask a gardening member for where he was, a sobbing came from deeper into the garden, the forbidden part where no one dared to come.

And out of some stupid instinct, you followed the sound, entering the deeper part of the school forest. Some said the place was cursed, because of the forest near it where an old house that got burnt resided, but that was just a myth! You were fearless and nothing was going to stop you from beating the crap out of Kazuha!

Walking into the garden, you saw the row of deep trees up ahead, it definitely looked haunted, but again, just another myth. You found the old maze made of tall bushes your school made when it was halloween when you were in middle school, it was abandoned and you better make sure you weren't going to step in there and loose yourself.

As you took another step forward, you turned your head, and saw... Kazuha! His back was turned to you and as you were about to run to him, you realized, he was crying.

The sounds of cries were coming from him. You froze, should you turn back? Should you comfort him? Hell, you don't even know how! Then from the corner of your eye, you saw a little boy who wore a uniform from the middle school division in the bush maze. He had messy hair and he looked confused, and when he saw that you saw him, he ran into the maze, and out of instinct, you followed him.

"Hey– wait!" You yelled, not caring if Kazuha heard you as you ran into the maze, chasing the boy for no clear reason. You followed him, not caring if your legs were weakening from all the errands you were running, it felt like an adrenaline rush while your energy seemed infinite.

But soon later, you lost sight of the boy, ending up in the middle of the maze you swore not to enter, looking around and shivering as multiple paths were surrounding you. Problem is, you don't remember how to get back.

Back to present: you swallowed as you stood, forgetting where you came from. "Kazuha...." You mumbled, hoping that he'd somehow magically appear, this was all his fault!

And then your watch starts beeping, you looked at your watch, your expression switching to horror. "Wh– class is starting!!" You yelled, and right when you were about to run to class, you remembered your situation. "Oh."

"Stupid Kazuha! If only he didn't tell Heizou or something." You mumbled, and then you started walking around the maze, entering every single cracks and turns of the maze. God, you forgot how huge this maze was... you entered it when it released back when you were in 2nd year middle school and its just as enormous and scary as you remembered it. Maybe even scarier now that there's no actual props but just you.

"God! Think Y/n! Where did you go when you went here last time?" You asked yourself, squishing your head in between your hands as you couldn't help but tear up a little. "Even if I did remember, I don't remember how I entered now..."
