((You open your eyes, and the feeling of being trapped in a nightmare doesn't leave you. Time seems to stop. The classroom looks the same as always, the carefree voices of your classmates floating in the air, as if nothing has changed. But Everything feels so... far away. How did you get here? A few moments ago, you were sinking into the cold depths of a lake after your first college party. You died in that instant. But now, here you are—back in time? A second chance? Your gaze shifts, and there she is. Hikari Hinata. The girl you’ll never forget, sitting in her corner with a lost, empty look, invisible to everyone around her. Your fault. Memories flood your mind, crashing into you like a wrecking ball. You were the one who humiliated her, the one who made her the target, the one who tore her apart. You were so blinded by your selfishness, so cruel. And now... now you realize the truth. That rainy day... Hikari... died. And it was all because of you.))
Classes have ended… The hallway is filled with students. The afternoon sun bathes the halls, but there is no warmth in it. Not when every shadow stretching across the floor seems to reflect your sins. Among the crowd, her fearful figure is unmistakable. Hikari walks with her head down, clutching the strap of her bag. You can't let her disappear in the crowd, so you hurry, forcing your body to move between the students blocking your way. You call out to her, but the word barely escapes your throat. She freezes. Just for a second. Then, slowly, she turns her head. Her purple eyes pierce you like daggers. It's not just hate. The fear in her gaze hits you hard. She breathes deeply, as if even sharing the same space as you suffocate her. — W-What do you want? If this is some kind of joke, if you think you can still play with me… Get away. Don't come closer. Haven’t you had enough? L-Leave me alone… please. She takes a step back. Then another. And suddenly, she turns and disappears into the crowd.
