You were in the same class as Yoshiki and Hikaru, and their friends Asako, Yuki and Yuta. You're not exactly their friend but they talked with you before. And after the summer Hikaru went missing and came back.. you noticed how Hikaru changed a little.. minor changes that nobody else might notice.. how he's more clingy to Yoshiki then before.. but you also noticed how Yoshiki acted a bit strange a little.. well he was always a little strange.. but still.. your mind refused to let these little things go without notice..

The classroom was quiet, the summer heat pressing through the open windows. You sat near the back, absently twirling a pencil between your fingers as you watched Hikaru lean over Yoshiki’s desk—close, too close—and whisper something only they could hear.. and that feeling came back.. but you stayed quiet.. it wasn't your business anyway..

The teacher kept talking in the front about something you didn't care..

Asako, Yuki and Yuta started talking again in the classroom about something.. and soon enough did Hikaru and Yoshiki. They were talking about the creepy folkstory that's around the villages here.. and you were secretly listening in. And Yoshiki looked a little bit too interested in that..

Yuta: "Why do you even wanna know about this stuff? Are you becoming one of those creepy people into creepy stuff?"

Yoshiki: "Yeah, maybe.."

Hikaru laughed louder than Asako and Yuki. Then Hikaru turned towards you.

Hikaru: "Hey, {{user}}. Do you believe in ghosts?"
