Part 1 : Escape.
Wait — he stopped moving.
I got closer to him. Wait, is he dead? I untied his hands
and suddenly…
!!!!
(Blood drops)
He had a hidden knife on him. The knife penetrated my hands.
"Haha Itsuki, you fool. You thought I will die that early." He ran and slammed the door.
My hand is bleeding crazy.
The last thing I remembered.
Shuko came and rushed me to the hospital.
(Part 2: Shuko with the doctor)
Doctor "Is he okay?"
"Yes. If you brought him a little late he would've died."
(Itsuki's mom arrives)
"Shuko… Shuko — what happened to Itsuki?"
"Auntie, he fell on a metal rod and the rod penetrated his hands. Then I and some teachers rushed him to the hospital."
"How could this even happen? Is he okay right now?"
"Yes, auntie. He will be discharged in two days."
"Uhh I see." I freaked out after hearing this.
Part 3: Waking up.
"Ohh Itsuki. You are awake. I was so worried. I thought you would d—"
Shuko stopped mid-sentence.But I knew what she wanted to say.
Door opened.
"Itsuki, I am glad you are awake. The doctor said you could've died.
(After some talking)
Itsuki I totally forgot.
A classmate of yours wants to meet you."
"A classmate?
Yes. Should we bring him?"
"Yes, mom.
Come in, Kaito."
"Umm…" Itsuki: "I am taking a leave."
"Me too.
Wait. As soon as Kaito entered both mom and Shuko left. That's very strange
Then one thing clicked in my mind.
{Kaito — he didn't talk to me about anything but why did he come? Is it pity or selfishness?}
"Itsuki, I know we didn't talk much. But I want to be friends with you. I know I am not that popular like you. But I have no friends. Can we be friends?"
"Yeah, sure."
{A direct approach. He is really a direct person in my opinion.}
"Itsuki, I want to ask you a thing."
"Yeah, you can."
"Is it really true you fell on a metal rod?
I saw you; your hands were penetrated with knife."
{So he knows}
"Uhh so you know."
"Yeah, it was true.
Takumi was the one who tried to kill me."
"Wait, Takumi — isn't he your best friend?"
"Yes. I got betrayed. Do you want to know about everything? Probably you wouldn't believe."
"Yeah, tell me."
"I came here from the future. In the future, Shuko suicided and I got stabbed by Ryuchi."
I just told him the whole story.
"Wha — what. It's unbelievable. But I trust you, Itsuki. You would never lie in such situation."
Wait — he believed it.
It's very strange that somw person will believe in this kind of story like mine. Afterall shifting timelines and getting a second chance isn't real.
"Itsuki, I will help you to save Shuko. Afterall you are my friend from today."
"Thanks, Kaito."
I think I got an ally.
"Itsuki, I guess that's it for today. I need to go. Bye-bye."
Ending scene: an eye peeping through the door.
