Let me ask you something, how you ever heard of the story of Reimi Sugimoto? I bet you haven't. Locals say that she died from a serial killer, but was that all what was left of her?

(~Mitsuko's POV~)

I was in study hall, waiting for the bell to ring. I promised Josuke, Okuyasu, and Koichi that we would meet at the grocery store down town. I sat in my desk so bored! When will this end!!

The rings as I finally get up from my desk, grabbing my things. I walk out of the front gate to the sidewalk. Crap, I'm already late! I recheck my Nokia phone (they had those in 1999) to see where we would meet up. Yup, its still the same place. I sped walk on the sidewalk and made my way to the place in about 10 – 15 minutes, exhausted from all the speed walking. I wiped the sweat off my forehead and I look up at the sign, "Sun Mart."

Okuyasu waved his hand up to me. I waved back. 

"Oi, Mitsuko! What's up?" Okuyasu greeted me as I sat down. "Hello, Okuyasu!" I greeted him back. We all started to casually talk for the meanwhile, then finally Koichi mentioned something.

"Koichi is telling us about the crazy ghost story." Josuke laughed. I see a picture in his hand. "I really did meet a ghost! The girl in that picture is Reimi! I sigh at the boy's shenanigans. I finally sat down on the floor with them, listening to their bickering. "Okay, we get it." Josuke reassured him, yet Koichi kept going.

"- So, I did a little research, and it turns out- "

"- I said I believe you."

"- at Bodogaoka High School, too."

Eventually, Okuyasu got the picture, admiring it of course. Nonetheless, I had to stop their talking. "Anyways," I interrupted their conversation. "Could we meet the ghost? I mean, what or who is the ghost anyways?" I asked them, very curious.

"sigh, Do I have to explain it again?" Koichi whined. "Well, you kinda left me in the dark here!" I wrapped my arms around me as I pouted. Koichi gave up the exterior and finally sat down.

"Ok fine, let me tell the story again for Mitsuko..."

(~Koichi's POV, Narration~)

"I was walking my way from school, minding my business when..."

'BUMP!'

I got bumped into the shoulder, wobbling back a bit. I looked back and forth to see who it was. "I'm over here, Koichi." A mysterious voice said. It was Rohan!
"Ah! R-Rohan Kishibe!" I look back at him, my hands were now shaking. "Hey, hey. Don't be so defensive. My days of harming you are over." He spoke with a smirk on his face. He continued to speak. "Besides, reading both yours and Mitsuko's history with Heaven's Door filled me with a sense of respect for you. Both of you." Rohan started to walk slowly towards me, now whispering in my ear.

"It's as if we're two peas in a pod. Wouldn't you agree?" he was getting too close for comfort... "Uh..." I stammered, trying to think of a response. Nevertheless, Rohan continues to speak. "So, I'd like to ask you a little question." Suddenly, he got out of my face and pulled out a map from his back pocket. "You see, until I was about four, I called this area home. And I've been looking for my old place. You could call it nostalgia, if you will. Recalling childhood is central to a manga artist's work. But they're memories of a three to four year old. Its all a bit foggy." He recalled the past, looking at the distance.
