Hanako's POV

I paced around the bathroom, waiting patiently for Yashiro to just jump out at me, knowing that she can never scare me.

Flashback to the fake world
(manga readers would know)

"Hanako-kun... I want to live my life as best as I can." Yashiro muttered with tears in her eyes. I couldn't help it. She was just so desperate to live for another year and the year after and so on, but death cannot be avoided.

"Yashiro." I whispered under my breath. "Yashiro... To be very honest with you. I never cared about who died. Really, I didn't. I didn't. I thought I didn't, but... I want you to keep on living."

I put my hands on top of her shoulders. I just don't want to imagine a world without her. She's been with me for a while longer now and the horrible truth of her, dying. I sighed.

"Hanako-kun. Let's go to the moon together, okay?" She held my hand as the beautiful yet fake moon, the brightest I had ever seen, in front of us.

"Hanako-kun, I want to live for the next ninety years." Isn't that a bit selfish? I thought, but then she held my hand close to where her heart was.

"Dear Hanako-san. Hanako-san. Would you please grant me my wish?"
"Is that no good?" Yashiro said, with the most frail voice, I have ever heard.

But even with all that, I smiled and said,
"You know, I could never say no, especially when you ask like that." I really couldn't, how can I? I want her to live as much as she does. She's-

"Okay then." I defeatedly muttered against my will. "You want to live for the next ninety years? Isn't that a bit selfish, Yashiro?" She was quiet. "I'll prove to you that I can and I will... I will save you from the clutches of death.

After all, I am a school wonder and the 7th of the seven mysteries. Nothing too much."

I'm sorry Yashiro, but I won't be going to the moon.

End of flashback

Haku-joudai returned with Yashiro beside. I acted casually while standing at the middle of the bathroom. "Ah, Yashiro. There you are." But she said nothing. Quiet. Like a fair white flower.

"Yashiro." Daijōbu? Again, nothing. I rushed to give her a hug but she unintentionally pulled away after I wrapped my arms around her cold, weak body. "Yashiro..."
