Tick...tick...

Tick...tick...tick....

The time goes by, second by second.

Tick....tick....tick....

I wonder how many seconds have passed since I haven't seen her...

Tick....tick....tick...

But, now I'll end it all...

Tick....tick.

7 Hours Before it Happens

I stared at my laboratory clock, waiting for my friend to come. I asked her if she wanted to go out to eat with me. She accepted, and I was overjoyed. I waited for her eagerly. I, Atashi, will wait for her no matter what.

6 Hours Before it Happens

She seems to be running late. We agreed on meeting at 5 PM. Now it's 6...what is taking her so long?

5 Hours Before it Happens

I hope she hasn't been attacked or anything like that. I would be heartbroken. I decided to wait a little while longer.

4 Hours Before it Happens

I decided to check the news to see if there was traffic. After I turned on the television, I dropped the remote. The headline said, "Explosion on Karakura Railway." My eyes were widened. That was the railway that she always used....

3 Hours Before it Happens

No...this can't be right. I ponder for a little while. She can't be dead. Maybe that's the wrong time. She probably took a later one. No...that's not right. She is always early...

2 Hours Before it Happens

I can't deny it much longer. She must be dead. I don't want to be alone...I have to be with her.

1 Hour Before it Happens

I decided that if I die, then I'll be with her forever. I set up a device that will kill myself for me. I decided that it would be a fitting death. I hope everyone understand.

20 Minutes Before it Happens

It's almost time. I hope that my plan works.

10 Seconds before it Happens

I will see you soon, Hakumei.

1 Hour After it Happened

I finally arrived at Atashi's place, only to see his place in flames. My eyes were wide. I would cry for days.
