“Naah no way” thought Haruto..
“the directors father might have researched but may not have told the director about it.. and the director must be lacking something that isn’t allowing him to leap back..
What can it be …I can’t leap anymore..so I have to think about it carefully..”

Haruto went inside Honaka’s room. He saw everyone there..
They had their usual talks. They were talking about food, and then some scary stories..
“—and that’s how I got the invitation..” said Honaka
“Woahh that’s scary..”
“Ita not that much.. “ said riku..
“but still receiving invitation from the dead.. that’s creepy..”
“Yea..”
Haruto then thought..’Speaking of invitation.. I had something like that before …'

*Flashback*
Haruto was in his room .. aoi entered the room.
“Haaaruutooo!!”
“Yo..”
“Do you like invitation?”
“What??”
“Would you be happy if you received one?”
“Umm.. I guess..”
“Look at this..”
She showed her an invitation..
“who is it from?”
“I don’t know who it js from..but It is an invitation.. see..it’s written here.”
“What does it say?”
“see..”

at research lab..

“That’s weird..”
“What do you say..let’s go tonight Haruto!”
“Don’t know.. it might be a prank ..it can be dangerous too”
“It’s ok since it’s inside the hospital..”
“But…

Later that night..

“Haruto..do you want to go back?”
“Huh.. but we just got here..”
“I know .. but aren’t you scared?”
“Since we came here.. we might as well go..”
“ yep..”
Haruto went near a room door. It was locked..
“Weird.. it’s locked..”
“Hey! Haruto!! What’s that???.. looks like a lot of coffee beans..”
“Aren’t they kind of different?”
“Hmm..some sort of seed?”
“I  Don’t know.. there is nothing else here.. let’s head back..”
“Okay.. hey Haruto.. let’s help saki and Honaka..”
“no we can’t..”
“Why??”
“Because they are preparing for the birthday party..”
“I see.. I kinda feel left out..”
“You have to bear with it for a while.. “
“I see..”

*End of flashback*

“Harutooo? What’s up you are all spaces out?”
“Yea I just remembered something. “
“From the past?”
“Yea.. back then aoi received something like and invitation. But it was a prank “
“Ohh when was this?” asked Honaka..
“I guess it was the time when you guys were preparing for her birthday party”
“ I see..”

They all continued talking.. Honaka asked about how she knew everything about the heart transplant. And how it would have a positive effect on Saki. Haruto told her that she should talk about this with saki.

After a while when all of them left. Haruto went down. He then saw the old journalist sitting on the park. He went near him.
“Um excuse me..”
“Yea?”
“You were a journalist in the past right?”
“Yes yes.. you got a keen eye kid. Hahaha”
“Can I ask you something about the accident that happened seven years ago?”
“Ohh yea sure go ahead..”
“I actually need the list of names who died there. Just wanna check if someone whom I knew was there in it..”
“Well I do have the list. And I remember few of the names.. but it would take a month or two to get those files..”
“That long!”
“You are lacking patients kid..”
“Ohh I’m sorry..”
“No worries. Anyways..just shoot out the name..i might remember it..”
“Oh.. okay it’s ichiri..it’s just the surname. I don’t know the first name..”
“ Yes! It was there! I remember it very clearly..”
“huh? Was it an important name?”
“Of course.. who would forget that name..Ichiri is the guy
