(A/N OK people, time to say where and why I got this story idea from... I got strange dreams lately and it's all about this. Now, back to the story shall we? Starting from this chapter, it'll be written in first person until further chapters.)
----------------------

School Live after what had happened still went normal to me. However the fact that my friends' existence were erased still haunted me.

Now I got a fragile girl to protect. She needs company, and comfort.

I made a promise to her... And I swore to keep it even until the day I finally die.

- Friday

'The date is tomorrow...' I thought to myself as I looked at the class calendar.

"Yo, Satoshi." A voice called out to me from behind.

I turned around, to see a man with short dyed blonde hair and stone blue eyes. He is my best friend, Yoshiki Kishinuma.

"Yeah, what's up Yoshiki?"

"I've heard that you got a date with Nakashima tomorrow."

"And who told you that?" I chuckled in the beginning of my words.

"She told Shinozaki, who then told it to me."

Ayumi Shinozaki, the class representative of class 2-9. I was aware of her feelings for me but I pretended to not know about it. She's a tough girl, and seems to already be moving on from what had happened.

"The class rep? I thought she'll try to kill Naomi again for sure like last time" I said sarcastically.

"Man, don't joke like that."

We ended our conversation minutes later. I walked home first due to Yuka having club activities.

As I walked down the streets that lead to my way home, I began to think about my dead friends and teacher at that school. If I can bring them back, will it be enough to appease everyone from their sadness?

As I am having those deep thoughts, I didn't notice what's in front of me, and I crashed into someone.

"Oh, sorry..."

I looked at who I bumped into... A girl, wearing a purple Yukata. I lend her a hand, and she gracefully took it, and stood up.

"Before you ask anything, I'm fine, thank you." She said, while brushing off the dust that got onto her clothes.

"You're welcome, I guess?"

"You're too kind, boy. I'm Aiko Niwa, a student at Paulownia Academy.... And I take that you've been to Heavenly Host, aren't you?"

I shook.

"How do you...?"

"Your expression says so. You must've lost some of your friends when you're finding a way to escape that hell."

"..." I stayed silent.

"Listen up. I think I can help you..."

"With what?"

"Bringing your friends back."
