[Music Club, Morning]

(Tamami and Yuna walks by the door to the Music Club)

**Tamami** : Come on, Yuna-chan! We're going in, alright?

**Yuna** : W-Wait......I-I....need to.....catch...my breath.....

**Tamami** : ......Are you really okay? You've been looking down the entire day.....

**Yuna** : Actually, I-

(The door opens)

**Bestisia** : BONJOUR!!!!

**Tamami** : Ah! Good morning, Bestisia-chan!!

**Bestisia** : Good morning to you too, Sanada-chan! Oh, and Sakaki-san, as well.

**Yuna** : ......He-Hello....

**Bestisia** : So, are you ready?

**Yuna** : I....I guess....

**Bestisia** : If you feel uncomfortable, it's okay. We'll be right by your side.

**Tamami** : Yeah! What Bestisia-chan said!

**Yuna** : ......Thank you.

(The three goes into the room)

**Fuyu** : ........

**Yuna** : .......

**Tamami** : Good-o-morning', Fuyu-chan!

**Fuyu** : Good morning.

**Yuna** : .......\*bows\*

**Fuyu** : .........Good morning to you too.

**Fuyu** : Shall we proceed with the audition, then?

**Yuna** : Um-

**Tamami** : You bet she is!

**Fuyu** : Sanada Tamami.

**Tamami** : Yes?

**Fuyu** : Be quiet.

**Tamami** : Oh, I'm sorry....

**Fuyu** : Are you trying to say something? Because I'm pretty sure I heard "Um".

**Yuna** : .....No, it's nothing.....

**Fuyu** : .......

**Fuyu** : Xianjia.

(A girl comes out from the Music Club practice room)

**Cheerful Female Student** : You called for me, Fuyu?

**Fuyu** : Introduce yourself to Sakaki Yuna.

**Cheerful Female Student** : Alright!

**Yang Xianjia** : My name is Yang Xianjia! I am a transfer student from China, and a classmate to both Fuyu and Kuroda-san. It is a pleasure to meet you, Sakaki-san.

**Yuna** : ....!

**Yuna** : Kuroda....? Kuroda, as in.....Yagane Kuroda?!

**Xianjia** : Um....yes, that's the one!

**Yuna** : Where!? Where is she?! Is she okay? What happened?

**Fuyu** : Sakaki Yuna.

**Yuna** : What? I need to know-

**Fuyu** : Calm down....and let her explain.

(Xianjia takes out a letter from her pocket)

**Xianjia** : She tried to contact you, but you're not responding to anything. So, she told me that, in case you were to come back to YamiTsume someday, I'm supposed to give you this.

(Xianjia hands Yuna a letter)

**Yuna** : ......May I?

**Fuyu** : By all means.

**Yuna** : .......

(Yuna opens the letter, and looks at the contents)

**Yuna** : .......!!!!!!

**Fuyu** : ...?

**Yuna** : Aaahh......

(Yuna crumples the letter and throws it away)

**Yuna** : I knew it......I knew it.....It's all my fault.....

**Tamami** : Yuna-chan? What's wrong?

(Yuna runs to the corner and trembles greatly)

**Fuyu** : .....

(Fuyu takes the crumpled letter and opens it)

**Fuyu** : ...!

(The letter is filled with words like "DIE" "IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT" "EVERYTHING IS RUINED BECAUSE OF YOU")

**Xianjia** : What!? Kuroda-san wrote this letter to-

**Fuyu** : Let's not assume it's Yagane, Xianjia.

**Bestisia** : Hm? What's this smell?

**Bestisia** : Excusez moi Fuyu-san, can I have the letter for a second?

(Fuyu hands her the letter)

**Bestisia** : Alright.

(Bestisia proceeds to smell the letter)

**Bestisia** : Yuck!

**Fuyu** : Do you know something, Bestisia?

**Bestisia** : This smell......It's no mistaking it....

**Bestisia** : It's dried blood.

**Fuyu** : ...!

**Xianjia** : Huh..?

**Yuna** : .......What?

**Bestisia** : Xianjia-san! Do you remember anything when Kuroda-san handed you this letter?

**Xianjia** : Yes, I remembered it very clearly. She seems normal at first, but.....

(Flashback starts)

**Xianjia** : What is it, Kuroda-san?

**Yagane** **Kuroda** : Um....I was hoping for you to pass this letter to my friend when she returns from her break. Her name's Sakaki Yuna from Class 2-B.

**Xianjia** : Alright! Let me write down for a second. Um.....Sakaki....Yuna....Class....2-B...Right?

**Yagane** : ........

**Xianjia** : Kuroda-san? Is everything alright?

**Yagane** : Huh? Oh! Y-Yeah! I'm alright! I'm counting on you to send it to her, alright? Thanks a lot!

**Xianjia** : ......You can leave it to me!

(Flashback ends)

**Xianjia** : She seems like she....didn't want to give this letter in the first place.

**Yuna** : Who.

**Tamami** : Yuna-chan?

**Yuna** : Who did this?

(Yuna starts walking towards the door)

**Tamami** : Yuna-chan, what are you-

**Yuna** : Move.

(Yuna pushes Tamami away, Ayaka catches Tamami before she falls)

**Fuyu** : ......

(Fuyu and Bestisia moves to block Yuna)

**Yuna** : Move aside.

**Fuyu** : No.

**Bestisia** : What are you trying to do?

**Yuna** : I'm going to find whoever did this to Yagane.

(Yuna tries to walk pass them, but they continue to block her)

**Yuna** : Why are you blocking my way?

**Fuyu** : You can't do this alone, Sakaki Yuna.

**Bestisia** : That's right! We can help you-

**Yuna** : No....

**Yuna** : I don't want.....

**Yuna** : Anyone else......to suffer because of me.....

**Fuyu** : ......

(Fuyu grabs Yuna's collar)

**Tamami** : Fuyu-chan!

**Bestisia** : Fuyu-san!

**Fuyu** : Stay out of this......all of you!

**Fuyu** : Sakaki Yuna. How long are you going to act like this?

**Yuna** : .........

**Fuyu** : Do you want to find the answer to your problems?

**Yuna** : .....This isn't your-

**Fuyu** : Answer me.

**Yuna** : .....Yes.

**Fuyu** : Do you want to find your lost friends?

**Yuna** : ......Yes....but...they're gone-

**Fuyu** : \*sigh\*

**Fuyu** : Let me tell you something.

**Fuyu** : We will be helping you solve your problems, whether you like it or not.

**Yuna** : You can't just-

**Fuyu** : When you're done with your problems....we will then leave you alone.

**Yuna** : I never asked for your help.

**Fuyu** : You have no reason to refuse us.

**Yuna** : What makes you think I would accept your offer, anyway?

**Fuyu** : Do you want to meet Masaki?

**Yuna** : What?

**Yuna** : It's impossible! She's no longer-

**Fuyu** : She's alive.

**Yuna** : .....!

**Fuyu** : Stop deluding yourself with lies.

**Yuna** : Lies.....?The truth.....I don't even know anymore.....

**Fuyu** : This again.....Listen here.

(Fuyu grabs Yuna's tie)

**Yuna** : Guh.....

**Fuyu** : I'll take you to where Masaki is, even if I have to drag you all the way.

(Fuyu starts dragging Yuna outside)

**Yuna** : .........

**Tamami** : Wait, Fuyu-chan!

**Fuyu** : What is it?

**Tamami** : Please.....don't pressure her so much.....She suffered too much....

**Fuyu** : ........

(Fuyu lets go of Yuna)

**Fuyu** : I'll try my best.

**Fuyu** : Xianjia, stay here.

**Xianjia** : (nods)

**Fuyu** : Bestisia, Ayaka, Tamami....and you, Sakaki Yuna.

**Fuyu** : Follow me.

**Bestisia** : Fuyu-san, wait! Where are we going?

**Yuna** : .........\*sigh\*

**Tamami** : Are you okay, Yuna-chan?

**Yuna** : I'm sorry.....for pushing you.

**Tamami** : It's alright, it doesn't hurt a bit!

**Yuna** : I see.....

[Principal's Office]

**Tadatsune** : What's this? Why are you all gathered here?

**Fuyu** : Principal, do you know of Masaki Miyamoto of Class 2-B? Is she-

**Yuna** : She's dead, isn't she?

**Tadatsune** : ........?

**Tadatsune** : What are you talking about, Yuna-chan?

**Yuna** : .......Huh?

**Tadatsune** : Masaki-chan is alive. She's just not awake yet.

**Yuna** : .....Where?

**Tadatsune** : .......Saint George's Hospital.

(Hearing this, Yuna bolted out the room)

**Tamami** : Yuna-chan!

**Bestisia** : Oh, not again!

**Ayaka** : Let's go!!

(Ayaka, Bestisia and Tamami ran off)

**Fuyu** : ........

**Tadatsune** : You should go too, Fuyu-chan.

**Fuyu** : Maybe.....

(Fuyu gives the crumpled paper to the Principal)

**Fuyu** : You'll need this, Principal.

**Tadatsune** : What's this?

**Fuyu** : Open it.

(Tadatsune opens the letter and examines it)

**Tadatsune** : This....!!

**Fuyu** : Based on what Bestisia said, this is dried blood. And this was given to Xianjia by Yagane Kuroda.

**Tadatsune** : .......

**Fuyu** : Yagane Kuroda's break could be nothing but misinformation. I trust your staffs can handle this.

**Tadatsune** : .......Alright. I'll get to it.

**Fuyu** : Thank you very much.

**Tadatsune** : Fuyu.

**Fuyu** : ....?

**Tadatsune** : Here.

(Tadatsune hands Fuyu a letter)

**Tadatsune** : A permission for you to leave the school grounds under my approval. You'll have no problem passing by Shimazu-sensei then.

**Fuyu** : Thank you, Principal.

(Fuyu bows, then she leaves the room)

**Tadatsune** : ........

**Miyasaka** : It was them, isn't it?

**Tadatsune** : ........It could only be them.

**Miyasaka** : I told you, you've been too lenient. It's probably time to take action.

**Tadatsune** : What good is there if we take action now? They'll just cover it up again, like they always did.

**Miyasaka** : .......

[Front Gate, Morning]

(Tetsu'un stands at the closed gate, blocking the four girls)

**Yuna** : Let me pass, I have to......

**Tetsu'un** : I'm sorry, Sakaki.....But, without the letter of permission....

**Yuna** : Please......I beg of you, Sensei.....

**Tetsu'un** : Forgive me....

**Fuyu** : Sensei.

**Tetsu'un** : Fuyu?

**Fuyu** : Here.

(Fuyu hands Tetsu'un the letter)

**Tetsu'un** : Hm! This is the Principal's signature, alright! You can pass, then.

**Fuyu** : You hear that? Let's go.

**Yuna** : ........(nods)

**Bestisia** : Thank you, Sensei!

**Tamami** : Let's go, Yuna-chan!

**Ayaka** : Bye, Sensei!

**Tetsu'un** : Take care, girls!

**Fuyu** : Don't worry.

[Subway, Morning]

(Fuyu and Yuna stood next to each other, while Bestisia, Ayaka and Tamami talks to each other)

**Fuyu** : ......

**Yuna** : .......

**Bestisia** : So then, I met Fuyu when she....

**Tamami** : Really? That's awesome!

**Ayaka** : Wait, how come I never heard of that?

**Fuyu** : Tamami seems to be doing fine.

**Yuna** : .......

**Fuyu** : Hey.

**Yuna** : What?

**Fuyu** : How are you feeling?

**Yuna** : ......I honestly don't know.

**Fuyu** : I see.

**Yuna** : .......

**Fuyu** : ........

**Bestisia** : The two of them really just stood there and didn't talk....

**Ayaka** : Well, considering they're Fuyu and Sakaki-san, I suppose it's quite normal.

**Tamami** : Fuyu-chan.....I can't thank her enough for going this far....

**Announcer** : To passengers abroad this train, we will be arriving at Gashawara Station shortly. Please make sure your belongings are with you....

**Fuyu** : Ah, we're here.

(The door opens)

**Yuna** : .......

[St. George's Hospital, Front Gate]

**Ayaka** : We're here.

**Fuyu** : ......Let's go.

**Yuna** : .....

**Receptionist** : Ah, welcome. How can I help you?

**Fuyu** : Is there a patient with the name "Masaki Miyamoto"? She's a high-schooler, like us.

**Receptionist** : Alright, give me a minute.

(The Receptionist checks the list of patients)

**Receptionist** : Yes, there is one patient here.

**Yuna** : W-where is she?

**Receptionist** : At room 305, you should be able to visit her now. But you'll have 30 minutes before we ask you to leave.

**Bestisia** : It's 8 o'clock. We should be fine with 30 minutes. Thank you very much.

**Receptionist** : You're welcome.

(The girls heads to the elevator)

**Tamami** : There doesn't seem to be quite a lot of people in this hospital.

**Ayaka** : Isn't it better that way?

**Tamami** : Yeah.

[Elevator]

**Bestisia** : \*whistles\*

(Fuyu pokes her shoulder)

**Fuyu** : Be quiet.

**Bestisia** : Ehehe....sorry.

**Fuyu** : The third floor.....let's go.

**Yuna** : 301.....302....303....304....

**Yuna** : It's here.....305.

(Yuna wants to open the door, but she's unable to)

(Fuyu then opens the door)

**Fuyu** : I know you're scared, but we only have 30 minutes.

**Yuna** : .....I'm sorry...

**Fuyu** : It's alright. Don't apologize.

**Bestisia** : We're here, Sakaki-san.

**Tamami** : Yup!

**Yuna** : ........

(The girls enters the room, inside the room......)

**Yuna** : ........

**Yuna** : M-Masaki......?

(Masaki is sleeping in the bed, bandages were wrapped around her head, and sitting next to her is.....)

**Teary-eyed Girl** : .......Yuna?

**Yuna** : Hi.....Hitomi?
