Our Story

Chapter 57: Best Friends

The days looped back to where you first entered school. Everything was happening just as it was the first time as I remembered....

Albeit there was a.... slight alteration...

That being...

I was the first member of the Literature Club. I was not Mei Kamiya. I was a girl going by the name Yume. I was alive.

... this was the setting of MY world.

Perhaps it was a way to spite me. I could not think of anything....

As time pass, I began to have questions, 'am I moving according to how the sick world wants me to?', 'is this paradise?', 'is this not just a dream?', 'am I going crazy?','was this a way for me cope with my trauma?'..

As those questions go on, I kept on spending my days with everyone again. Eventhough to you, I am a girl named Yume, I did not mind as long as I could spend my days with you.

It was after my birthday had passed, the days looped again to where you first entered school. It was after the loops kept on happening, that I realised. Our story stops after my birthday. It was because after my birthday... that day happened.

I realised that this was a seperate world then where all of us came from. We were now in a world where it completely resets itself before that day.

I was not sure if it will keep on repeating itself for eternity or if it would end anytime soon. As long as I was with you and everyone else... I am happy. Though there was a bit sense of sadness in there but I never though much of it.

It was then I realised that this world seems to have faltered a bit and that I was feeling weaker and weaker as the days goes by. There was a time that I had entirely collapsed and the day seems to have ended.

It was then I realised. I was connected to this world. The more the days repeats itself, the more weaker I get. It was as if I was responsible for sustaining this world....

Perhaps it was true.. this world has been nothing more but a wish come true to me.. so my wish comes with a price...

How unfair...

When I realised that I was what holding this world together, I figured I might have control over it. And I was proven correct. I was able to reset the days again eventhough it was supposed to not reset yet.

It was when I realised that I might not have time left and this world would fall apart soon that I decided to take drastic actions.

Thoughts like 'what would happen after this' was pushed aside as I prepared myself for the final loop. In this final loop, I decided to use my real name. I wanted to be myself in this final moments.

I took Hikari's life and made it into my own, carefully forging a story that would lead me to become Mei. It was fortunate that both me and her shared the same birthdate..Why? I wanted help Kyouhei move on from his past by being Hikari as well. Cruel, I know.

But things never really turned out the way that I wanted... an oddity appeared. Perhaps it was because it was the final loop... things had changed drastically.

Thanks to the advice you had gave to Daisuke in the past, your willingness to help Mizuki, Konoha had been rid of his loneliness by becoming best friends with Daisuke and Touko and having also regained his admiration of you.

While I know not of what happened between you and Sora but you two had become the upmost best of friends before Sora himself had joined the club.

Your willingness to help Mizuki with Konoha had also pushed Mizuki to confess her love towards you and though you rejected her, she at the very least had been able to express her feelings.
