The Barrier in between

Encounter: MIRAI

Lotte, Sucy, and Diana have arrived at Luna Nova.

"I should tell you guys now before we start acting like allies again. I'm still not biased, but I might have to guard for Victoria. Especially since it is a forced thing upon me." Diana said calmly.

"WHAT!? Diana what is forcing you?" Lotte asked surprised.

"I'm not allowed to give any detail, but it's best not to speak with me for now." Diana walked away without care.

The news spread around the school that Akko is deceased. Everyone is put in a low mood.

~Andrew~

Andrew opened his dorm room at his school and pooped on the bed miserable. He looked over at his desk with a familiar hat on it. Akko's hat. Looks like she had forgot it again and Andrew had to give it to her. With a smirk on his face he picked up the hat to go return it. Blinded with excitement he reached the door when he realized: Akko's dead. He dropped to the floor looking at the hat. It had a note inside.

Dear Andrew, 

Assuming I had forgotten my hat again and you're the one who picked it up, I will most likely be at Shinzo Park.

Ps: Thank you so much for everything! I'll repay you with ice cream!

"I never got that ice cream *sniff* you still owe me one.." he said smiling as tears went down his face.

Andrew put the hat on and went to Shinzo Park. Fortunately classes were closed this Monday thanks to some random holiday nobody cares about.

He sat down on a bench and let the sun hit his face as the hat rested on his lap.

Looking across from him was a girl with red, short, hair.

Grr

A bear's growl was heard in his head staring at the figure.

The red head caught Andrew staring at her and he instantly looked away.

"It's alright, I knew you were staring this whole time." She said.

Andrew started blushing in embarrassment.

"This whole time, you've been thinking about me without noticing. I didn't notice it either. The memory has escaped my mind. And it's escaping your mind as well. Of course with your mind full of the passing away of your friend."

Andrew looked at her in confusion, having no idea what she was talking about.

"I appreciate your kind thank you Andrew. But there is no need to repay the debt anymore, just tell me you haven't forgotten."

Andrew looked at the mysterious girl's arm and saw a long deep scar. All the clues came together. There was silence that seemed to go on for centuries. A gentle breeze blew in the wind.

It was the summer of 2007

Red hair. I like it. I wondered around with my new little look. Of course it's not a look I would be going out with casually. I'm not THAT weird. I was resting in the grass when I saw a white rabbit. It was in pain. I went over to him, but then he got up and ran. Determined, I chased after him, ignoring the rest of the world. I chased him into a forest. Suddenly another kid came to the scene as I bandaged the bunny. Sure, he was dressed up all fancy, but I would say he wasn't to charming, more intimidating. He asked what I was chasing a useless bunny for. I sure gave him a peice of my mind. Then a bear came. Without hesitation I guarded the boy. That's how I earned my scar.

"I..... I thought I would never encounter you again. For so much time...... I have wanted to thank you!" Andrew gushed.

"We're closer than you think, but I must go."

"Wait! What's your name?"
