Reincarnated as a Sakurako sister from COTE

Vol 0.96

Kiyo POV

As Yuki was pulled away out of the room by that man

I looked at the girl, about my age I guess, stared at me and her eyes were wide open.

"I've wanted to meet you all this time... I've missed you so much!" "Yuki! It's Yuki!"

Yuki? She did look like Yuki but she wasn't my Yuki. Who was she, a drop out? She had similar bone structure to the man and my Yuki so was this another test my father put out for me?

"Why are you here?"

"My daughter Yuki has been weak ever since she left the Whi- No, the same facility you're in. She's been depressed. She can't go outside and just keeps worrying about you."

The man who escorted Yuki out of the room was back alone, from a distance it seemed to be both Yuki's had the same father. I honestly couldn't tell which was the real daughter unless...

"It's been a long time. Kiyotaka... were you at that place the whole time?" She looked at me with fear in her eyes as she recalled the past. Judging by her father's reaction, she was scared of the mention of the White Room.

"For 14 years, I've been there. Today is the first time I've been outside."  Stop talking like we ever talked before

"I knew you were great, Kiyotaka... What about the other kids? Did they leave in the past?"

"Well, they all left so soon. I've been the last one for years now. I don't know." This man's methods knew no bounds using a mentally unstable patient.

I never cared about the ones who dropped out, including the kid in front of me. "Alone... Always in that place...? I-I... I, that, that place...!"

Yuki's body began to tremble as if the fear she had been suppressing was swelling up.

"Yuki, stop remembering!" The man shouted, he did look like her father but for some reason...

Yuki was distraught as she dug up her memories. Was this how miserable a person who's dropped out of the White Room could be?

The one thing I understood was that she must be the daughter of a well known businessman.

All I know is that she was treated with respect after she dropped out. But the fact that she's going to counselling shows that she hasn't healed from the trauma.

And one of the healing methods was to meet with me, who was also in the fourth generation... I guess...

Now that I know what's going on, I have no further use for this place.

"I have to go."

"Wa-wait! I finally got to meet you! I want to talk to you more-a lot more!"

"I have nothing to say to you."

If she couldn't talk about the White Room, we couldn't have a conversation.

"Please, Ayanokoji-kun, can you talk with Yuki for a while? Yes, any conversation is fine. A simple, insignificant conversation..."

"What do you mean by 'insignificant conversation'? You do understand that I'm new to the outside world, right?"

"That's..."

"Of course, I can tell her a story that's full of lies if you want. I am willing to force myself to make something up to the best of my knowledge, whether it's about Japan or the rest of the world. But that's not what you want, is it?"

"T-I'm fine. I'm fine with talking about the Wh-White-White Room." Yuki grabbed my sleeve, hyperventilating, trying not to let me go.

"I don't think you should. You can't talk to me."
