Hanako floated into a certain girl's classroom, two Hakujoudai's accompanying along with him as per usual. Unfortunate for him, the girl was absent from the room much to his confusion, making him pout. He floated back out to the hall through the wall, still pouting as he made his way to the direction of the library.

In the class, a radish haired girl caught a glimpse of a floating something from a corner of her eyes. She sharply snapped her head to the direction of the wall only to see nothing, making her let out an innocent hum. "Must be seeing things..."

Hanako floated through the hallways, searching around. The path being silent except for the sound of teachers talking in the classrooms. Soon, he came across Tsuchigomori who was headed right that way, much to the ghost's luck.

The apparition floated up to Tsuchigomori and started moving at the same pace as him. "Hey Tsuchigomori, where's that weird student of yours?" He asked quite casually, with a tad bit of curiosity.

Tsuchigomori didn't look like he acknowledged the ghost's presence since he never averted his bored gaze from his path. Yet he answered. "Himana's absent as usual. She'll return after a day or two, surely injured." Tsuchigomori's tone was gruff as he narrowed his eyes. He won't show it, but he was worried, and Hanako knew this well.

The ghost didn't tease him like usual though, because he, himself was getting a very bad feeling about her absence this time.

True to Tsuchigomori's words, just three days later, a white-haired girl walked through the gates of Kamome Academy. Her appearance drawing concerned looks from her peers who arrived early for their morning club activities. The blue-eyed girl either didn't notice the stares or she just didn't care about them as she casually made her way towards the school building.

The gaze of the students trailed after her figure as she did so. I mean why won't they? What's supposed to be visible of her arms and legs in her school uniform short sleeves were covered neatly by bandages. All the way till her fingers, leaving only the tips of them exposed.

It didn't end there. There were bandages around her neck and her head as well. Her face noticeably paler than usual, as her natural skin took a tone of sickly grey. Leaving some to wonder if she had any blood flowing through her.

Despite her mummified look though, her face held nothing close to pain within them. Leaving it as blank as her bandages. She seriously looked like someone who climbed out of a coffin from a pyramid.

Unknown to all, a curious pair of amber eyes followed her movement as well—watching through the window of the third-floor bathroom. His eyes suddenly narrowed, sensing another presence near her. A presence of a powerful apparition that is.

He didn't compel to float out of his boundary and towards a specific library. Where he knew was the destination of the white-haired girl. Arriving just as Himana opened the library door, closing it softly behind her and unknowingly to Hanako's face. Which didn't really bother him as the apparition easily passed through it.
