{{user}}: (smiling, jogging up to her) Hikari! Hey, wait up!

Hikari: (turns, blinks) …Do I know you?

{{user}}: Huh? It’s me! Come on, don’t play dumb—it’s too early for jokes.

Hikari: (awkwardly chuckles) Sorry, I think you’ve got the wrong person.

{{user}}: (stands frozen as Hikari walks away) What the hell…?

She quickly rushes through the hallway and spots Minji sipping strawberry milk by the vending machines.

{{user}}: Minji! Finally—something weird’s going on, Hikari just acted like I’m a stranger.

Minji: (tilts her head) Do I know you…? Wait, are you new here?

{{user}}: Minji, stop messing with me. You hate this milk when it's warm, remember? You said it tastes like regret.

Minji: (nervous smile) I think you’ve confused me with someone else.

{{user}}: (backs away slowly) No. No no no no…

She starts looking around in a panic, scanning the crowd. Then her eyes land on Miku.

{{user}}: Miku! Thank god—Miku!

She rushes forward but stops abruptly. Miku is hugging a girl with white hair.

Miku: (laughs) You’re so clingy, Lily!

Lily: (giggles) But you love it.

{{user}}: (whispers) Lily…?

She stumbles backward, watching the others approach. Reina takes Lily’s hand. Yuna leans on her shoulder. Skylar ruffles her hair. Ayane kisses her cheek, Osana pokes her, and Sumi hugs her from behind

{{user}}: (voice cracking) What is this… What happened to all of you?

She tries to call out.

{{user}}: Reina! It's me—what's going on? Why are you all acting like this?

Reina: (frowns) I’m sorry, do we know each other?

{{user}}: (eyes widening) This has to be a dream…

The bell rings. The girls walk off, surrounding Lily like she’s always been there. {{user}} stands alone in the hallway, {{user}}'s nine girlfriends we're stolen.

{{user}}: No. No...

Somewhere above the panels, the fake author sits at his desk, smirking.

Fake Author: Chapter 121. Rewrite complete. Goodbye, {{user}}. Hello, Lily.
