Nostalgia

Haruki's POV

Once I got in the house and waved goodbye to Nagisa. I noticed a small box resting on my coffee table. Next to it layed a petit, pale brown letter.

Curiosity took over me. How did these things got there? Why are these things there? Who brought them?

I walked with slow and delicate steps towards the unknown items. They did seem decent.

I picked the dusty letter first. My questions would be solved faster that way. The letter was two pages long and if you'd be sharp enough you'd notice the dry tears that have fallen by the person who wrote it.

I unfolded the letter slowly, like I was afraid that it would break from any single movement.

The letter said :

Dear Haruki,

How are you doing? I hope you're doing well. I'm doing pretty well too. I'm writing to tell you that I am staying with your brother in South Korea too now.
It has been a long time since I last saw him. And I'm afraid he's not doing as well as you. He has been hospitalized for a month now. Due to a car crash he had been into.
I am truly sorry I didn't tell you sooner. It was just that you had to get used to your new life, and that information would have only nothing else but a burden to you.
I am also sad to say this to you, but I cannot pay about your studies anymore. You will have to find a way to pay for your needs on your own sweetheart.
As you can see, I am nothing like your parents. They were such generous and warm-hearted people. And here I am, I cannot provide you with anything except pain.
I am ashamed of myself for what I've done. I hope you will find someone to fill that gap in your heart.
As a last gift from me, I payed myself a visit at your place, and left you your most precious childhood memories, along with thus bitter letter.
Moreover, I would like to ask you a last favor for your brother's sake.
He is in a critical phase, according to the doctors. And my money aren't enough to save his life.
So, I beg you, provide me with 1.000.000 yen. For your brother's sake.
Sincerely,
Akiyami Daichi

By that time, silent sobs filled the room with a depressing but yet sweet silence. My whole life was about to be burned to ashes.

Someone could say my life had gotten more interest in it. I couldn't tell the difference between my life and a mystery book anymore.

My brother. He sure deserves to live. Although my uncle is the one I don't trust. I do have a bad feeling about it, but it won't go away.

How will I pay for my own needs and my brother's hospital bills?

I sure have to get a job, and work hard to make enough money. But there sure is another way.

If I actually managed to kill that creature, I would have enough money to help my brother and live on my own without even having to struggle that much.

On the other hand, that's not what my brother would want me to do. Before I left from Kyoto he actually said to me to get a good education at the most prestigious school in the country to be happy and also make him and my uncle proud. He used to say that my parents would be proud too.

What should I choose? What's the best path for me to follow?

Should I get myself a job to pay for my own needs and for my brother's hospital bills, while trying to solve riddles to return to the main campus?

Or, should I decline the principal's offer and try to kill the mysterious creature i have as a teacher, only for the price?

My head was spinning with questions and options of what to do. When suddenly, I remembered the part of the letter I forgot about.

'As a last gift from me, I payed myself a visit at your place, and left you your most precious childhood memories, along with thus bitter letter. '

If I understood right he meant the box, that was sitting next to me.

The box was very dusty and old. It was black I color and had a glorious design all over it.

It was my music box of time!

Yes, my music box of time. When I was a little naive child, I found this in the old attic our house had.

Its melody was a blessing to my ears, and the little girl that danced in the middle of it always captured my glance.

That music box had helped me during many difficult times. It always equipped me with hope for life.

I believed that the music box was magical. And whoever didn't believe in it and hurt its owner would be trapped inside it forever.

As you can see, i didn't have a normal childhood. I was always treated awfully by society.

But, that music box made my day. I reached to the little handle that was placed on its left side and swang it.

I was ready to hear its calm and anxiety solving melody.

Once the music box started playing its melody. A wave of nostalgia hit me.

So many memories were replaying again inside my mind. Some nice and others horrible.

Tears wouldn't stop running down my face. All these memories were in the past now and I had to let go and move on.

I had to forget to move forward. These memories were keeping me away from all the opportunities I currently have.

So, to move forward and create my future. I need to get over the my past and let go.

By learning from my past mistakes, I can make the decisions for my future.

That's the key, to my success.

Well, I didn't include any of Haruki's relationships with her classmates on this chapter.

Because I wanted to focus more on her past and her relationships with her family members.

But don't worry, all these will be included on the next chapter!
