S2 Ep24 - Graduation Time

" We were always being protected by our strict and overprotective teacher who has lived and learned ahead of us "

The clearing was still trembling from the echoes of battle , the smell of scorched earth and gunpowder thick in the air . Faint beams of moonlight pierced through the shredded canopy bathing the exhausted Class E in a soft , pale glow . And there in the center of it all , Kayano sat slumped on the dirt , her breathing shallow but steady , her hair tangled and streaked with sweat .

Nagisa dropped to her right side immediately , his chest heaving relief flooding his eyes . “ Kayano ! ” he breathed , his voice trembling somewhere between disbelief and joy . “ I’m glad you’re alive ! ” A faint smile curved on his lips shaky yet sincere as he placed a hand on her shoulder , gentle as though she might break .

On Kayano’s other side , [Your Name] crouched down , her [colour]-tinted hair falling over her shoulders as she fixed Kayano with a look that was equal parts anger and concern . “ You made all of us worried sick , y’know ” she said , her voice firm yet trembling with emotion .

“ Don’t you ever do something that stupid again ” Without waiting for an answer , she reached out and gave Kayano’s cheek a small venomous pinch yet not enough to hurt but enough to make her point .

“ Ah..ow ! ” Kayano yelped wincing as she turned her head sharply to glare at her friend , cheeks puffed out like a sulking child . The sight made [Your Name] snort softly , the edge of a laugh escaping her lips despite the tension . For a fleeting second it felt like everything was normal again like they weren’t assassins standing on the edge of tragedy .

But then—

Kayano’s nose twitched . A sudden tiny sneeze burst out of her , delicate and unexpected breaking the air like a spark . The laughter died instantly .

All heads turned toward her . Confused murmurs rippled among the students .

Kayano blinked shivering slightly . “ I’m… cold ” she whispered . Her eyes dropped and froze . A chilly gust brushed across her skin and her gaze locked onto the large tear across her front jacket , fabric singed and half-hanging , exposing more than it should . Her face went bright red . “ Wh..What am I wearing ?! ” she yelped , her voice hitting a pitch that startled even the birds in the trees .

Nagisa’s eyes went wide . His brain short-circuited for half a second before he spun around so fast his jacket flared out behind him . “ S..sorry ! ” he stammered , his face burning red . The boys followed suit all snapping their gazes away except , of course for one .

“ Hey ! ” Kataoka’s voice cracked like a whip . Okajima had been caught mid-stare , eyes wide with unholy curiosity . Before he could even blink Kataoka’s hand clamped onto his head , twisting it sharply to the side . “ Look . Away ”

“ AAAGH—okay okay okay !! ” Okajima screamed , his neck bending at an unnatural angle as Kataoka held him in place , unbothered by his wails .
