Ichirou's pov
Ryoba has been acting a bit suspicious lately. I'm not sure what she's hiding from me, but as the head school counsellor, it's my duty to ensure she isn't up to anything nefarious. Maybe I overwhelmed her with the whole "wife" situation, but I had to ask her. It was the only way I could get out of the marriage with Hamasaki. It had always been this way in my family, the fathers pressuring their sons to get married as soon as they left school and the daughters being signed off to random men. The system had always stayed identical throughout these many years. I was lucky since I had my own choice to pick for the selection test. I chose Ryoba as she was always serious and I felt there was something more to her besides her mysterious persona.

Later on in the day

After looking for Ryoba to talk to all day, I couldn't find her anywhere until now. She appeared to be holding a small envelope and looked upset which was rare for her as she rarely expressed emotion. I looked at her from a distance before I began to approach her.

"Ryoba? Are you okay?" I said but I appeared to had startled her with my sudden speaking. There was silence for a long minute all apart from birds chirping and the subtle noise of the commotion in the locker room behind us. Suddenly she ran away dropping the note behind her, usually, I'd daren't look but this time was different as I yearned to know what was troubling her. I picked up the envelope and as soon as I did I got hit with a whiff of cigarettes, roses and wood. The smell was incredibly strong and almost burnt my nostril hairs off.

Dear ms. aishi
We know what your plan is. We know what happened to Sumire was not an accident. We know your intentions with Mr. Yudesai. You will be caught just you wait.

What! Did ryoba have something to do with the recent deaths in akademi. No it couldn't be right...?
