Yashiro and Amane were having fun. Plenty of students came along too. Mitsuba was very enlightened by this and thanked Kou for inviting everyone.

Amane was using his telescope when Yashiro called out to him, sitting down with him while holding snacks.

"Wah..! It's really beautiful here isn't it Amane-kun?" Yashiro gazed upon the starry night sky.

"Yeah.." Amane muttered. After what happened earlier, he still couldn't forget it. His mind still lingers on why 'that' kind of dream happened. He ridiculously thought that what if he were soon to die here too?

"Amane-kun? Are you okay? You look kinda pale" Yashiro asked. Amane snapped out of his thoughts and looked at her.

"Y-yeah Im okay" He gave her a reassuring smile. But that smile couldn't convince yashiro that everything is okay. Instead, she kept quiet and waited till Amane tells her what's truly bothering him.

Chewing on a piece of a cookie, she admired the stars. She recalled what her mother told her when she was little. Her mother told her a tale about two close friends becoming stars after passing away. Both stars always shine the brightest during the night because the other was always the shining star for the other when they were both alive.

Yashiro didn't want to forget Amane, ever. To her, Amane was the best friend she didn't deserve. Amane was the star that shined in the darkness she was in.

Silently smiling to herself, Amane placed the telescope down and sighed. He turns to look at Yashiro, who was lost in her thoughts.

"Yashiro..?"

She snapped out of her thoughts and replied with a small 'hm'

"What if..I were to die..sooner than expected?"

Blurting out the question, Yashiro almost choked on the cookie she was eating.

"Huh?! Why would you think of such a thing?!" She exclaimed. Honestly, she thought that Amane was just messing with her but after seeing that his face was serious, she panicked.

"Don't tell me you're gonna commit..?"

"No, I wont silly" Amane chuckled. "I had the weirdest dream earlier"

"I woke up in the infirmary and the only people present there were you and tsuchigomori- sensei but he looks different. Everything felt different. You and sensei couldn't hear nor see me and both of you were talking about someone.."

Yashiro gave him a worried look as she listened attentively.

"You mentioned a name..it was Hanako I think? Sensei called him as honorable no. 7 and I didn't know who they were referring to until sensei described him. He said that the Hanako guy loved stars and wanted to become a teacher in the future"

He was interrupted with Yashiro speaking up

"I dont know anyone named Hanako but he's oddly similar to you"

Amane smiled weakly then continued "He is similar to me because I am that Hanako. I'm the hanako that sensei was referring to. And in that dream, Sensei's last words were about me passing away at a young age"

Amane stopped talking then looks down. Yashiro could only look at him worriedly. The realistic dream Amane had affected him so much. It scared Amane.

"I'm scared, Yashiro.." Amane whispered. Yashiro then gently helds Amane's hand and squeezes it tightly.
