I rested for a while and woke up hours later. No one was in my room, I shouldn't be surprised as no one knew me but a rude girl and an odd boy. The room was plane and the blankets served nearly no purpose with how thin and stiff they were. I didn't like the room, something about it made me feel lonely and depressed. Silence was my only company and it was the worst.

About an hour or so after waking up Rokune returned. He knocked and let himself in closing the door behind him and leaned against the wall next to the window. We both were looking down said nothing. The silence was more of a pain now, I coughed to break the silence but after it came back even harder.  

After what seemed like eternity he spoke softly almost like he didn't want me to hear.

"s-sorry."

"For what?" I replied almost immediately, I didn't want that awful silence to  come back.

"Well I sorta... ya know..."

"I actually don't."

"You were in a ghost coma..."

How can a ghost get in a Coma? Can a ghost die again? Why am I here?  Will I see Haru again?  Oh Haru... My thoughts were overwhelming me once again. It hurt so I just asked the first most simplest question I could. "What?"

He looked up at me, with his bewitching golden eyes, "sorry... Remember when Kana painted your vision and flicked your forehead?" I nodded. " The flick allows you to hear our voices and see more clearly, it's sorta like the final step of initiation or something. By my idiocy I thought you didn't finish... loading, so I made you take that step again, so your body was almost reviving again when you were in your coma..."

I was in shock. Everything had come so fast. The fire, my parents, whom were still yet to be found, Haru, then being swept away by Kanato, brought to this mystery of a place, then fell into his arms, and into a coma. It's been 3 days since I've been alive. Should I call myself dead now?

The only thing I did that moment was let all my tears fall. I'm not sure if that made the situation worse but the moment my tears fell Rokune apologized  like rapid fire and once more I was stuck in silence. I was unable to comfort him in his time of need and I was lost in time again. I couldn't tell what hurt worse but it was all pain.

Then he did something unthinkable. I never saw it coming but I was so glad he did. He just walked up to me and hugged me. Right there in the dull hospital. Ghosts are cold, the very touch of Kanato's hand on my wrist was like frost bite without all its side effects, but this... This was different. So warm.

He pulled away fast looking the opposite of my direction. Once the long pause passed he told me that he would show me to my room and the school and left immediately after. That boy is so strange, yet, I already miss him.
