As Takahashi confesses what she felt, Kayano and Okuda noticed her expression went blank.

"Takahashi-san!" Kayano said while shaking her face, and finally, Takahashi seems to regain her consciousness.

"Ah! W-What happened?" Takahashi said while shakimg her head and blinking her eyes, "Ah, You're okay!" Kayano said in relieve.

"Did I did or say anything earlier?" Takahashi asked, she does seems woried. Kayano glanced at Okuda, who maybe heard something from Takahashi, but she shook her head.

"I don't think you did" Kayano said, Okuda just frowned while whispering something behind them. "I'm sorry for lying..."

They arrived at the train station, Kayano and Okuda parted their ways with Takahashi. While walking, an appearance of a person suddenly appears in front of Takahashi.

"Hey, Long time no see, Takahashi!" The person said in English. Takahashi looked up to the source of the voice, "Ah! Miss Jenny! Long time no see!" Takahashi answered.

"Hahaha, Seems your English have improved! That's great." The woman said, "Yes, I've been learning more lately, how is it going with you, Miss?" Takahashi answers.

"You see, They sent me to teach another school, It's very famous school, they said." She answers Takahashi, "They did? What kind of school is it?" Takahashi curiously asked.

"Don't know much about it, but tomorrow I have a meeting with the Ministry of Defense for explanation about this school." Jenny explained. "Ministry of Defense? Don't tell me.." Takahashi mumbled.

"Ah! I'm late for my family dinner! See you later, Takahashi!" Jenny said while walking away, "... Don't tell me..." Takahashi said to herself. ".. She's gonna teach Class E...?!"

Suddenly, Takahashi's phone rings, it was a call from her mother.

"Hello, Mom?"

"Haruna, are you already at home?" Her mother answers.

"Not yet, I'm on my way, though, Why?"

"If you like, would you come to our mansion for dinner?"

"Sure, I will."

Takahashi make her way towards the Takahashi's mansion, on the way, a car come to pick her up, "Haruna-sama, please get in."

She get in the car, "... Been a while since got this kind of treatment..."

After 15 minutes ride to the mansion, they arrived and greeted by the maids, "I'm home" Takahashi said as she opened the door and entered the mansion.

"Haruna, Welcome back!" Her mother greeted her happily, "Now, Let's go to the dining room, shall we?", Her mother leads her to the dining room, Her father already waiting for them there.

They started eatimg after they arrived there, "So, what's happening today?" Takahashi asked. "N-Nothing happened, we just want a family gathering, right?" Takahashi's mother answered as she trying to convince her and her father.

"Please don't lie, I remember you said that you wouldn't call me to come if there's no occasion going on, now, tell me?" Takahashi asked with a serious face and serious tone.

"... Asuka"

Takahashi's eye widened as she heard that name.

"... Please..." Takahashi mumbled. "... No..."

"... I'm going to ask you..." Takahashi's mother said. "Why... did you... Use Haruna's name?"

Takahashi's eyes widened more, as her horrible memories coming back...

"No! Stop it!" Takahashi mumbled loud enough to be heard before her eyes goes blank and lose her consciousness.

"Asuka! ASUKA!"

Meanwhile...

Kayano on her phone trying to dial a number, Takahashi's number. ".... Why she doesn't picking up?"

She try to dial the number again, "This is Takahashi, Please leave a message."

She sent a text message to her number after connected to the voice message box.

'Takahashi-san, Are you there? There's something I want to talk about.'

Takahashi's mansion

"Ugh.." Takahashi mumbled after slowly opening her eyes, and find herself in her bedroom.

"I'm... Still here?"

Takahashi get up from her bed, and walked towards her bag.

She leaves her room, and find her parents on the living room, "Ah, You awake!" Her father noticed her presence, "I'm going, see you." Takahashi said as she walked towards the door.

"Can you go on your own?" Her mother asked, but did not got any answers from her daughter. Takahashi walk out past the gate, making her way home on foot.

'... My body feels heavy...' Takahashi pondered as she felt it and her vision getting blurry, she walking until she feels she hit someone, "Ah, I'm really sorry.." The person said, "... It's okay.." Takahashi answered with a low voice.

Takahashi felt she was getting near lights, "... Where am I ...?" Takahashi mumbled, From not so far, someone familiar noticed her, "Takahashi-san! I thought you already at home.." He says as he approached Takahashi

"... That blue hair... N-Nagisa-kun..?" Takahashi said as she almost fall and pass out for the second time, "T-Takahashi-san!" Nagisa said while catches Takahashi fall to his arm, Nagisa carried Takahashi to the hospital. Takahashi still has not awake.

Nagisa waits in the waiting room, and suddenly, the doctor came out of the room, Nagisa stands up and asked about Takahashi's condition, "It's seems okay, she said that her vision got blurry and she passes out, I think she has her own problems that making her like this, in 2 days, she could go, she just needs more rest."

Nagisa entered Takahashi's room, and finds Takahashi was just looking up to the ceiling with a blank eyes, "Takahashi-san.".

"Ah!" Takahashi startled, "How do you feel?" Nagisa asked, "I'm okay." Takahashi answered without any expression, "That's good, now, What happened to you before you passed out?" Nagisa asked.

Takahashi did not answer, she just silent as her bangs fall and covered her eyes.

".... It's coming back to me..." Takahashi answer as if she was scared of something, "What is it?" Nagisa said.

".... Those memories... Those... Horrible... Memories..." Takahashi said as the tears falling out of her eyes, "... What should I do...?"

Suddenly...

Takahashi hugged Nagisa, and started crying. Nagisa just hugged her back.

"I can't stay living like this anymore..."

"I can't..."

"... Stay.."

Takahashi just keep crying, as if she was just waked up from a really horrible and terrifying long nightmare.

'I remember the first day I met her, She seems like a really cheerful girl, She was easily smiling, She was...'

-------------------[Flashback]----------------------

She was running, she seems to be soaking wet after running in the rain, probably she didn't bring her umbrella.

I entering the train as she ran towards the same train as me, She seems to be the same age as myself.

"Uwah! It's cold!" She said as she sitted down to the seat next to me, She glanced at me.

"Hey, From what school are you?" She asked to me.

"Ah, I'm from Kunugigaoka." I answered as I looked at her uniform, She was from that school for rich people as well, I forgot what was it called.

"Oh, I see, Nice to meet you!" She said as she smiled and give her hand for a handshake, and then, She told me:

"I'm Asuka! What's your name?"
