Kessoku Kokoro | A Bocchi the Rock Fanfic

Chapter 47: I Will Make Sure You Never Forget

"So..., you guys are here again. What's wrong? Got nothing better to do than to read a brand new chapter for an anime that's never gonna get a Season 2?"

"Well, that's what I thought. Enjoy the show. After all, what's a life rather than a story to break the characters involved?" Hana smiled. "I suppose we should continue on with the sessions that I have in store."

She prepared a fruit. A hanahaki fruit. She split it in half and took two seeds out of each half. She then snaps her fingers. A blue portal opens. She looks at Tokumei, making sure that he's still broken. That he's still in that beautiful morbid spiral that she desperately desires him to remain in.

His breathing is faint. His eyes are still in that beautiful shade of vantablack. He had little resistance. Even if the tree is choking the daylights out of him. She relaxes before entering the portal. Ready to torment the rest of her... victims.

The Demon

"Ah, Miss Yamada," Hana stood firm and proper, now she's dressed up in a black and red suit. One covered with red spider-lilies for a design. She observed the young lady in front of her... Looking a lot more depressed than usual. 

Her blue hair was a mess. She was only wearing an oversized black shirt and nothing else. Her eyes are heavy and grief stricken, but they were focused. Focused on playing games on her Twitch and nothing else. Seeking any sort of dopamine to escape the overwhelming and unwelcome fatigue that she's experiencing. 

Hana loved that look on her. That look of absolute despair. 

It would look better on Tokumei though, but it does fulfill her sadistic tendencies of seeing people at their most broken. She smiles, hoping to break her psyche further since the damage from the previous "nightmare" that she gave her is still latent.

"Hm?" Ryo huffed, her fingers adding more pressure to the buttons as she hated the fact that there was a disturbance to her gaming session. 

"I'm your new attendant that your parents hired to watch over you. My name is Shigure Hana. It's a pleasure to meet you," Hana did a small bow, keeping things brief to hide her disgust to have to bow to something as lowly as her. 

"I see. Go do the laundry, the lawn, the dishes, dust the place, sweep the floor, mop the floor and fix the beds for me thanks. I'm just gonna play video games and watch anime all day. Don't bother me."

Hana grit her teeth under her smile. She gave off a sympathetic sigh and raised an eyebrow, "Is that how you treat all your butlers? No wonder why this place is hiring again. Oh..., right. I've heard from your parents that the previous butler was killed."

Ryo stopped playing. Her character mercilessly getting pummeled by the computer as the screen turns into one of defeat. Her eye twitched as she was now looking at Hana dead in the eye. Almost as if she wanted her dead for even daring to remind her of what she's lost. 

"..."

"I take it that he was about your age. And that you both were close-"

"Shut up."

"Hmm?"

"Shut up," She commanded. Her hand was gripping the controller tightly. Her eyes blinked several times, trying to not let the tears fall down. "We do not talk about him. We... We don't talk about Meimei... Talk about anything else other than him. I... I'm not in the mood to think about him today. Or any day for that matter."

"Fine. Let me get to know you then. Outside from playing video games and watching anime, what are your other hobbies?"

Ryo took a few deep breaths, trying to make it obvious that she wasn't a crybaby, "Playing bass..."
