Kousuke's pov

It's been a week and a half ever since what happened that day in the alleyway. Right now, I'm in my classroom, listening to my teacher.

But as I continue to hear, I keep having these other traumatizing thoughts of that day

But as I continue to hear, I keep having these other traumatizing thoughts of that day. Having that power, being very angry, and that mysterious voice. But now that I thought about it, that voice was the reason I became like that. And... how I actually killed that guy.

But who was that voice I heard? And was he the one who gave me... whatever I just did that day?

Teacher: Kousuke-san...? Kousuke-san???

Kousuke: Eh? W-What!?

As soon as I stopped daydreaming, I suddenly hear the laughs of the students in my classroom.

Teacher: Meet me in my office after class, young man.

Kousuke: Ah... Not again.


Later, in the teacher's office...

I sat down as I stared at my teacher who is staring out the window. Even though I realized this is getting tense by a minute, maybe even a second, I'm pretty much used to getting scolded since this was happening all the time.

Teacher: Kousuke-san.

Kousuke: ...Yes, teahcer?

Teacher: Listen... are you feeling okay?

Kousuke: Eh?

Teacher: I actually called you here not to give any punishment. I'm actually worried about you.

Kousuke: W-What do you mean by that?

Teacher: This is only a guess, and you don't have to say I'm right, but this week you've been behaving strange lately. I've seen you spacing out and you keep having this look in your eyes, as if you were haunted by something.

Kousuke: *sigh*... I'll be honest right now, something did happen to me. But it's too... too much for me to just say it.

Teacher: I understand, after all you would never lie. Do you want me to notify Asagi-sensei? I can-.

Kousuke: No! No, please. I don't want her a part of my problems.

Teacher: But Kousuke-san, Asagi-sensei is your parent.

Kousuke: That's exactly why. I don't want to cause anymore problems for her. Please!

Teacher: *sigh* Okay.

Kousuke: Thanks, I appreciate it.

I got out of my seat and started exit the office.

Teacher: Kousuke-san!

Kousuke: ...!

Teacher: I just want to let you know, you don't have to face your problems alone.
