(Name) was working out at the garden. She tried to ignore the thoughts that she was having, but any time they left her mind, they simply found some way to sneak back in.

It'd been one month since Yashiro had eaten that scale. In (Name)'s pov, not much had come from it except a ton of confusion. She was doing well with avoiding Hanako in the beginning, but he somehow had a way of bringing himself into her life, completely consuming her thoughts.

(Name) groaned and began muttering to herself.. "Why can't I stop thinking about him..."

(Name) walked around the garden, still trying to dissect not only her feelings, but Hanako's as well. Hanako clearly knew she was trying to avoid him. And they were no where near as close as they were when they were humans. That much seemed obvious to (Name).

(Name) didn't have feelings for Hanako... at least that's what she'd been trying to convince herself. She still occasionally got a fuzzy feeling in her stomach when he was around, but if she ignored it, she assumed it'd eventually go away. As a ghost, Hanako was always quite flirty. (Name) just convinced herself that he was simply acting like that to be fun.

"(Name)!" a familiar voice said. Aoi and Yashiro were walking towards her.

"You're making mean faces," Yashiro pointed out.

(Name) studied the two of them, realizing that maybe they could give some assistance. "I need your opinions on something.

They went to the greenhouse to discuss and (Name) explained almost everything. She made sure not to mention names or any behavior that would make Yashiro figure out who it was.

"I think," Yashiro said, "that he likes you (Surname)-chan!"

(Name) hummed doubtfully. "You think so?"

"If he kissed you out of nowhere that's the only explanation!" Aoi said.

"You're so lucky, (Name)," Yashiro said, sadly. "It seems like everyone is always asking you out."

(Name) slightly blushed. She didn't really understand it, but somehow people actually liked her. In her past life, she wasn't extremely popular. Well known maybe, but after multiple incidents, she wasn't necessarily liked by people. She was sure that would happen again if people found out she was a school mystery, which is why she tried to stay to herself.

"Well," Aoi said, "what's he like?"

(Name) thought for a moment trying to think of some random things about Hanako. "He's pretty flirty for no reason... and I suppose he's good at fighting..."

"That doesn't really sound like your type..." Yashiro said.

"I don't really have a type," (Name) said.

"Do you like him back?" Aoi asked, with a large.

(Name) wanted to instantly say no but a part of her knew slightly better than that. "I don't think so..."

"Why don't you try dating him?" Aoi asked. "Just to try it out."

"No way..." (Name) mumbled.

"You're always shrugging guys off whenever they confess to you," Aoi said. "You always just friend-zone them! It's about experience. Just give it a try. You may like him more than you think."
