AFTER I changed into my uniform, I went to the front gate as promised. Just as she'd said, the girl was waiting for me.
"You wanted to talk to me about something?" I asked.
"Follow me." she said.
"Follow you where?"
"The special building."
The girl started walking without any further explanation. We arrived at the special building's third floor, one of the few places where no surveillances cameras were installed.
"What exactly—"
The girl just told me to wait and walked off on her own. She headed around the corner and quietly whispered, "Can I go back now?"
"Yes. Excellent work, Masumi-san. I'll count on you again in future."
"Yes." Masumi quietly nodded and left. The voice's owner slowly came into view. Carrying a cane in one hand, she looked at me with a cold smile.
First-year Class A, Sakayanagi.
"You wanted to see me?"
Sakayanagi didn't answer. For a silent moment, she and I just stared at each other. The school building began to get dark.
"You drew quite a lot of attention in that final relay, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka-kun." That was all she said.
"I'm sorry, may I please send a message to someone?"
"Yes, go ahead." She said, being unfazed.
I quickly messaged Shinjiro something. With it being immediately read, I placed my phone back into my pocket.
"So, can I assume you're the one who called me here?"
"Yes."
"What do you want? I'd like to wrap this up quickly, if possible."
"After seeing you run, I remembered something. I called you here because I wanted to share the shock I felt with you. It's almost like the buildup toward a romantic confession, don't you think?"
"I really have no idea what you' re talking about."
Clack. Clack. Sakayanagi, still gripping her cane, moved right next to me.
"It's been quite a long time, Ayanokouji-kun. Eight years and 243 days, actually."
"You're joking, right? I don't even know who you are."
"Heh. No, I suppose not. It's just me who knows you, after all."
Clack.
Clack.
Her cane's tapping gradually grew quieter. What in the world was this about? I decided I was done here and turned to walk away from Sakayanagi.
"White Room."
"..."
I stopped in my track, my composure cracked. Inside, I felt a great sense of panic. It was not possible. How would a simple stranger like her... know me. Know about that place.
"It's unpleasant, isn't it? When only your opponent knows your secrets. A mere stranger to you."
"I... You..."
It was clear, it wasn't a simple guess.
She knows that place.
"This is a reunion. I just wanted to come give you a proper greeting."
