15 Reasons Why | "You Could Save Her?"

Cassette 6: Side B

My hand turns into a fist. This "Luna" girl is way to familiar. She couldn't be Rikkun, could she? That would make a weird twist. I glance around. This Intermediate school, why are these people in here? Is the school now abandoned? A blue cap walks by me.

"Uh, excuse me, but can you tell me what's going on?" I ask. He turns to face me.
"Oh, you must be new here. This is our base. First one to be exact," He smiles faintly, "Are you lost?"
"I was brought here by Luna."
"Luna?"
I nod. "You mean the corporal?"
"Yes?" Luna is a corporal? Er..Rikkun?

The blue cap sighs and groans, "What was she doing out of headquarters?.." was mumbled lowly, "Anyways, she must have a good reason to bring you here." He stops, "My name is Dante, but everyone calls me Dant. I'm a private."

"I'm Clay. I'm not from here.." I glance around at my surroundings. This was like a whole Army base, but different. Dant chuckles, "Well, I'll be your tour guide I suppose. Come! I'll take you to the general. He knows Corporal." I nod and follow behind Dante. I didn't want to leave Luna, but them again maybe this "General" can help me.

Oh my god I forgot about the tapes!

They were still on me, which was good, but I'm walking around a headquarters with cassettes. I'm sure people think I'm so weird.

Thinking of them now, Rikkun did mention her private class. Is this it? Part of it?

Dante knocks onto one of the wooden doors, "General Fong, a newcomer has arrived."

"Enter."

Dante opens the door and lets us in. Fong sat behind a desk. Other desks were arranged to the sides, like a box. Dante whispers into my ear, "I have to go. Fong doesn't really like me at the moment, but I'm sure he'll like you." He closes the door as he leaves.

Fong looks up to me.

What do I say?

I stand tall.

"No need to show it, boy. Come sit near." He looks down at his paperwork, "Rest up. Speak to me."

"OK," I pull a chair out and sit near the man, "I was brought here by Luna. Do you know her?"

"Yes," he says softly, "Luna is such a dear. Always doing her best. Just like a little sergeant." He looks to me, "Who are you?"

"Clay, sir. Clay Sanner."

"Sanner? Ahh..yes it sounds familiar."

"It does?"

"Salamander." He chuckles.

Am I being joked at or is this a joke to be laughed at?

"Sanner. You were brought here by faith and many other reasons." Fong states.

"Is Luna Rikkun?" It slipped out like water.

Fong looks to me and stares.

"My boy, what does the spirit tell you?"

"Spirit?" Is there more? Maybe I am crazy..

My phone buzzes. I check to see my mom texting me "Where are you?". She was mad. Fong takes my phone.
I spoke over me before I even made a sound.
"No. Away from others. You do not need this to help you now." He crushes my phone with his hand.
I restrained myself from moving. Fong was an elder and he seemed to know what to do. Dante talked like he was a trustable man. I'll take his word.

I didn't want to talk to mom anyways.

"Rikkun, was it? She is waiting." Fong says. His eyes closes.
"In the nurses room?" I ask.
No answer. He knows her. It shows alot.
