Cleaning time
Third person POV

Having nothing to do on her one day club break, Ayano Aishi roamed the halls of Akademi. Even if she's having a break doesn't mean she will just let students fight right?

"Aya!" A familiar voice calls out to her. She turns around. "Asu-chan? Do you need anything?" Asu doesn't respond. Instead she hugs Ayano, tight. "What's this about?" Slightly shocked, Ayano asks Asu. Instead of replying, she hugs her tighter. "Hey.. cut it out.. what's happening?" She breaks the hug. "I heard what happened to Osana-chan. My condolences." Asu says to Ayano with pity in her eyes.

Ayano: It's alright. She's in a better place now. Not everybody lives forever right? Anybody could die one day and you'd never know when...

Asu: I guess you have a Point.

She said scratching her neck with one finger.

Asu: though she could have lived a long life if she didn't end herself.

Ayano: ...What made you think it was okay to say that?

Asyano looked at her in shock

Asu: A-ah! I-i! I didn't mean ... Look, I didn't mean it like that. Sorry if I offended you. I know you're going through a hard time because of the passing of your friend.

Ayano stayed quiet. They stood there, silently. "Look. If you want space I'll give you some okay?" Asu says to Ayano. She nods. "Yea. I'm sorry for asking but can you leave me alone for now?" Asu smiled and agreed. She was willing to do what Aishi told her, she wouldn't want to get on her bad side now, would she?

Ayano's POV
After school.

I grip my book bag's straps as I walk home from school. 'everyone dies someday.' I did say that, didn't I? *Sigh* I guess in that case there's no use in moping around. What ever I feel now, how many accomplishments I gain, how many things I fight for, I'm just going to lose it all after I die, right?

...so what's the use?

I don't understand. I was certain I would kill myself after I didn't get Taro. I swore to myself that if I didn't get the happy ending I desired, I would kill him so no one would have him.. and I'll kill myself because of guilt and shame for what I've done. Now... Two girls are dead. Because of me. I didn't get Taro. And yet I'm still alive. I don't know what I'm still doing here. Heh. And I had the hope of still being normal because of my friends. I had the hope to become normal even without Taro. I guess this unknown disease- or should I call it the "Aishi Condition" is really not a joke.

Emotions.. when I used to be a child I wanted it. I wanted to be normal like others. I pretended so that my father won't be an alcoholic anymore. I pretended to not be bullied anymore. I pretended to not be taken to hospitals and be experimented on anymore. I pretended to be normal. But nothing happened. I've controlled myself and fought the urge to end myself when I knew I was truly useless. Just to find the man that'll fix me. Yet all the tails of my ancestors, all the help my mother provided. None of it was a use.

My life is falling apart. And I can't even ask what I did to deserve it. Because I know damn well I do. I'm... The failure of the Aishi family. I'm a walking curse in this world full of misery and demise. I could have prevented Osana's death yet I didn't. She told me she was being bullied and that she... Loved me. Yet I just foolishly stood there. Thinking of what to say until she just left. And I didn't even bother to go stop her, instead I chose to come with Megami.
