Love Live!: SHATTER [PART 9]

MEGUMI FUJISHIMA:

*OUTSIDE - TAKACHIHO GENERAL HOSPITAL - TAKACHIHO - MIYAZAKI PREFECTURE - KYUSHU*

*P.O.V SWITCH - AKIHIKO SUZUKI*

My legs are screaming as I finally reach the top of this cursed hill. My breath comes out in sharp puffs, mixing with the cold air...

I look up, and there it is, the hospital, just like Fenix said, its white walls looming through the misty snow.

It's real, and I made it.

I did it... I actually made it up here. He's gonna have to eat his words. But man, I'm beat. Just... need a second to rest...

I stumble a little, my knees buckling, and before I know it, I'm falling backward into a soft pile of snow.

The world fades as I drift off, the snow cradling me like a cold blanket.

...

*MEANWHILE*

*HALLS - HASUNOSORA GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL - KANAZAWA - ISHIKAWA PREFECTURE*

*P.O.V SWITCH - YU TAKASAKI*

After staying a little longer with Rurino, I exited the Clubroom to see if I could find anyone. I did find the source of the chatting I could hear coming from the halls.

Huh...

That sounds like Mia and Megumi. What are they doing out here? The tour should be in the Courtyard by now, or maybe the stage.

I'd better check it out. I don't want to miss anything important.
