"Where have you been?" Shinobu asked, crossing her arms like an angry mother. "Two days ago, you didn't attend class despite having your items in your office. Now, you miss one subject and show up at lunch."

Recall: after sneaking into the library and obtaining a book you've been looking for, you confronted Venti about seeing him in the album of the burned house accident. He denied but the silhouette of Tomo had led you to come back to another time in another place.

Back to present: You paid little to no attention to Shinobu's scolding, a disturbing fact at the back of your mind keeping you from concentrating.

"This is no good. Exams are right over the corner and you're slowly loosing it." Shinobu shook her head. "Tell Y/n something encouraging, Itto."

"I know, I'm already on it." Itto replied, upset over his friend being so unstable. "Hey dude, what's wrong with you?" Itto asked.

"What do you do when you see someone who died in real life as a living person when they were still alive?" You whispered, earning a look from the other two.

"Are you going insane?" Shinobu asked, raising an eyebrow at your question.

"Yes." You replied, slamming your head against the table.

"ALRIGHT YOU BRATS, exams are just around the corner and I'm not risking my good teaching reputation over some dumb students." Your physics teacher, Miss Yae explained, pacing around the front.

"But ma'am you've only attended a total of four meetings the whole semester.." you heard your classmate tell her.

Miss Yae chuckled at your classmates words, "Do I look like I care?" She suddenly snapped out of her laughing state to stare at your classmate menacingly. "Hm, I have an idea..."

You were too lost in your thoughts to even focus on whatever the teacher had to say. Only thinking about your little dead buddy that you've met a total of two times. Your seat mate, Kazuha, noticed your state.

"Y/n, is everything alright?" He gently asked, tapping your shoulder. He was unable to get a response out of you and it made him even more worried. Was being his friend bothering you with regret and now you can't focus anymore?

He tried to gain your attention again, tapping your shoulder one more time. Then he stopped when you didn't reply, he should probably give you space.

He looked on the opposite direction of where your eyes were directed to as he was also unable to focus on the class anymore.

"HEY!" A hand slammed onto your joined desk. You both snapped out of it and looked at the person in synchronization. "Didn't you two brats hear me?"

"Uh.." you were speechless, feeling guilty because you were in fact, not listening which means you didn't hear her at all.

She sighed, "I asked the rest of you to choose a partner of your choice. We're studying by pair to make things easier." She explained. Miss Yae then looked around, seeing as everyone changed their seats, sitting with their friends and partners of their choice. "Hm, looks like no one else is available. You two should partner." She said, before walking away.
