2022-06-04 14:19:13After lunch I still do not forget all that happened.
While I was in the middle of thinking about what was happening, someone visited us at the hospital.
*Knock* *Knock*
"I guess, it's already the weekend." I mumbled to myself.
When I said that, the door opened and then I saw Nao.
"Yo, Kio I'm here to pay a visit." He said.
"Obviously." I replied in a sarcastic tone.
"I guess, the accident didn't shake your head much because you still talk sarcastically." He jokingly said as he chuckled. And we both laugh.
"Seriously, are you feeling ok?" He asked.
"What do you mean by that?" I ask. Nao's question is kinda creepy.
Nao is my cousin slash best friend. We always get along because we are the same age but Nao is often a serious and straightforward person.
"Hahaha, about your eye dude." He answered while pointing at his eye.
"I thought you learn gaysh*ts, while I was gone hahaha." I jokingly said.
"Hahahaha, funny dude but seriously what happened to your eye? It's quite noticeable since it changed color." He asked while observing me.
"Well, the doctor said that my right eye is already blind because of the accident and at the same time it changed color because of heterochromia that I already have." I explained.
"How about Mio's condition?" Nao asked worriedly.
"She's fine." I said straightforwardly.
"Is she getting better?" He asked worriedly. I can't blame Nao, he's quite worried about what happened to us, especially with Mio.
"Yeah, pretty much but I can't leave her alone for now. The incident that happened is still fresh in her mind. It will take some time to be back the same as before." I answered.
After I explained everything that he needed to know about our situation, he gave me the notes, assignments and activities that I missed due to not attending school because of the accident. He also brought the student council calendar because it looked like no one was moving when I disappeared so I should return immediately to school as soon as possible. The student council could not move because of my loss. Maybe what happened to me, especially to Nao, also had a big impact on them. I've already stayed here for 2 weeks.
Nao and I talked about what they did at school, student council things and all the things that happened at school. As I was talking to him, my dream suddenly came to my mind, which led to me questioning him.
"Hey Nao, when we were still a kid do you remember the name of a faceless ghost? That grandma used to tell us?" I ask while trying to remember its name.
"Ohh, you mean the Noppera-bo?" He answered in an uncertain tone.
"Why do you ask?" He continued.
"Well, just kinda had a nig ---." The sentence that I'm about to say was cut off because of the people's voices shouting outside the hospital. Both me and Nao take a peek outside the window.
"Hey, get down from there !!"
"Stop !!"
"Don't do it !!"
We saw the crowd shouting as they looked up. Nurses, doctors, rescuers and even other hospital patients were there and shouting. I tried to look out the window and looked up hoping I could see what they were shouting at but I couldn't see anything and couldn't see above. Then I suddenly remembered what happened to Chiaki-chan.
[Flashback]
"How about you?" I asked to break the sudden silence.
"Mom said that there's something wrong with my heart that's why I needed to stay at the hospital for my treatment." She answered while smiling.
After what she said I looked at her because I kinda saw Mio in her. As I watched her, suddenly the part of his chest where the heart was located began to disappear. When I saw that I suddenly felt dizzy.
"But I think my disease is getting worse because I always see mom crying more often. I wish I could stay longer with mom but if I won't be with her anymore I wish she would still smile and I will always be by her side telling her I love her. " She continued.
Before I lost my sight and completely lost consciousness I saw that the disappearing I was seeing had spread to her body. And there I realized that at that moment my vision was fine as if my right eye was not blind.
[End of Flashback]
Because of that I was able to decide to see that again. If what I saw that night was true. I need to see it again and find out if it has anything to do with my right eye.
I hurriedly ran out of the room until I reached my destination, and that was the rooftop.
"Hey! Kio !!" Nao shouted, but I just ignored it.
I opened the rooftop door loudly. Because of that sound I got the boy's attention which caused him to panic. I was also surprised when I saw him because it was like Chiaki-chan, who was disappearing some part of it from his body and especially since I could see him clearly.
All I could see there in the boy was the tiny particles that were just part of his body, that you could barely see his whole body.
"What the heck is this?" I blurted to myself.
I blinked my eyes twice and then rubbed both of it, I'm not hallucinating. I even pinched myself to tell if that's a dream, but it's not. I was so carried away by what I saw that I immediately did the last thing I needed to do. First I covered my left eye and there I saw his body almost disappear. I have removed what I covered with my left eye, to cover the right one.
But maybe because of the strange thing I was doing the boy suddenly spoke.
"What the heck are you doing?" He asked without emotion.
"Oh it ---"
I did not finish what I was going to say and do when he suddenly lost his balance which caused him to slowly fall to where he was standing. Which caused me to suddenly run as if my body was just moving by itself towards him. Fortunately, I reached for his hand immediately. Which caused a sudden outcry in fear of those below.
"That was close." I mumbled to myself.
"Hey! You! Are you ok?" I asked loudly at him but he didn't respond like he's a human with no feelings and emotions.
I struggled to lift him, I seemed to lose my strength when I ran up, which weakened me.
"Sh * t." I cursed in panic as my sweat kept dripping from my head through my whole body and my grip on him was slipping.
Then I heard Nao's voice, calling me. "KIO !!!"
"SH * T, HEY !! NAO !! HELP ME HURRY !!" I shouted panicky when his hand kept slipping from both of my hands.
He hurried to my place and then we lifted the boy at the same time. And one by one we heard the hurried steps to where we were. We saw the nurses, doctors and rescuers, they took him from Nao and me to take care of him.
Nao and I both breathed a sigh of relief because we saved him. Fortunately, if Nao didn't arrive, that child would be gone now.
As I struggled to stand up, I heard Mio's voice. "Onii-chan." As she went around the rooftop as if she was looking for someone with concern on her face.
"Is she looking for us?" I said with a soft smile on my face.
I slowly raised my arm to wave at her and she noticed us.
"Mi ---"
I could not finish what I was about to say when I suddenly felt pain in my chest. With so much pain, I felt like I was out of breath, I squeezed it hard while clenching my teeth and catching my breath, which in turn caused Mio to suddenly run to where we were.
"Sh * t, it hurts." I whispered to my mind as I gradually closed my eyes.
"KIO !! KIO !! KIO !!" Nao repeatedly shouted my name as he kept on tapping my face and shaking my body.
Little by little, their voices disappeared. The last thing I saw was Mio standing beside Nao while she looked at me with sadness and a face that she's going to cry. I just gave her smiles as if this was the last time we'll meet.
"ONII-CHAN !!!" She shouted, that was the last voice and words that I heard.
Then everything went black.
When I opened my eyes all I could see was darkness, darkness as I had seen before. I tried to look around with my eyes hoping to see someone or anything inside. Suddenly I saw a sign "ριʹ" as a light emitting a strange light from it. Then that sign suddenly changed, changed to a "ρεʹ" sign. Then the sign suddenly turned to small pieces of dust and disappeared like the wind just sweeped it away in an instant.
-------
I suddenly woke up in my bed and then inspected my whole body as well as my chest. The pain I had felt before was gone. I was just surprised when Mio suddenly hugged me and saw many people in our room as if they're waiting for someone..
Koizumi-san immediately approached me when I suddenly woke up. He put on his stethoscope and placed it on my chest and back and he also felt my wrists and then felt relieved. You can see in Koizumi-san's face the loss of worry.
"Your breathing and heartbeat are normal. How are you feeling?" He asked.
"I feel fine, the pain is gone." I replied.
"Good to hear that, there's no sign of any abnormality in your heart. Your heart is beating fast because of the panic that you felt that caused your high blood pressure to go up." He explained.
Everyone inside was relieved and lost their anxiety especially Nao and Mio when they saw that my condition was fine and there was no problem with me.
"Oh by the way, I forgot you'll be discharged tomorrow. So take care of yourself if anything happens, just contact me or visit me here at the hospital." He continued.
I smiled when I heard that we could leave here and go home tomorrow. But no matter how much fun it brings, there is still a part of me that is sad, sad because we will return to the old life without them, mom and dad. And we will come back and live in our house again where there are many traces of memories of mom and dad because everything will change, everything will be quiet and will be sad.
While everyone was talking happily and hugging I felt strange, I felt shivers all over my body. As if I was stuck in time, I searched for what and where was the reason for what I was feeling. My gaze shifted to Mio who at that moment was hugging me when I noticed a shadowy figure beside her, and I saw what I saw in my dream.
The faceless girl with a creepy smile as it faced me, I felt even more terrified and scared when I saw her clearly even though my right eye was blind.

As I watched the faceless girl with a creepy smile, Nao suddenly called me."Kio." He said then he tapped my shoulder.I felt shivers down my spine. As I blinked I was back to reality like the time was back to normal too. And it disappeared next to Mio and I never saw it in those moments again."Is that a hallucination? But if it's the same with my right eye, that's not a hallucination." I mumbled to myself.When I finally realized that the first thing I saw was not a hallucination and that it was something new."Is this one related to that dream?" I asked myself in my mind, because I first saw this figure in my dream.I kinda creeped out as I saw it for the second time but the fact that I didn't inspect its clothes again didn't get me anything necessary. It looks like I'm starting to be shocked by the thing I see because what I see is not normal.I realized that almost everything that was happening to me was linked to my right eye. As with Chiaki-chan and the boy, both of them are ab

Mio just woke me up from my deep sleep, as if that was my only sensible sleep after the accident. Many strange things happened after that. That caused me to rarely sleep, especially when that dream happened. Many have been running through my mind since the accident and I no longer know where to start and how to know these sudden events.I got up from lying down and stretched out my arm while yawning."So this is the day that we can go home huh?" I whispered in my mind.I looked at Mio and smiled at her as I messed up her hair."Mio, let's pack our things first." I said while smiling at her.Mio just nodded in response. Koizumi-san said that Nao brought all our belongings to the hospital. He brought everything we needed. He didn't even say anything when he visited us yesterday. I kinda want to apologize to him that we made him worried but I know Nao he would not say such things because he knew what I would do when I found out.According to Koizumi-san, Koizumi-san called Nao to the hos
Fates Greek Numerals
"Nii ...""Nii-chan.""NII-CHAN !!" Someone shouted that suddenly woke me up.I suddenly raised my head because of that shout. I looked where those voices came from and I saw Mio standing in front of me."Wha-what happened ??" I panicked because of her sudden shout."Nii-chan, let's eat. I'm hungry." She said as she kept on pulling my hand to make me stand up."Ok, I'll prepare something to eat so go wash up already." I said as I stood up tiredly while stretching my body to make the pain go away.*Ding Dong*Our doorbell rang. Someone is outside. I gestured to Mio to see who had come and opened it."Who is that visiting us early in the morning?" I mumbled as I rubbed my eyes while yawning.I checked on the time and rolled my eyes over and over to see the time clearly. I was so surprised to see the time."Crap! It's already 5:30 AM. We're going to be late." I mumbled as I rushed to the kitchen.I quickly opened our refrigerator and looked inside. Take out everything that can be cooked
Fates II. Another dream or should I say a nightmare
That night I started researching Greek Numerals. I grabbed my laptop and opened it. Opened the browser and then started typing the words Greek Numerals."Greek numerals are a system of representing numbers using letters of the Greek alphabet. They are also known by the names Milesian numerals, Alexandrian numerals, or alphabetic numerals. In modern Greece, they are still in use for ordinal numbers, and in much the same way that Roman numerals are in the West; for ordinary (cardinal) numbers, Arabic numerals are used. "As Hans said at school earlier, Greek Numerals are systems that describe numbers using the letters of the Greek Alphabet as in Roman Numerals.[Flashback]"Kioshiiii !!" Someone shouted while running towards me, its Hans. But then he suddenly stopped when he saw what was written on my notebook.He immediately took the notebook to my desk and then he looked closely. While seemingly thinking and looking for the answer to what is written. Suddenly his face lit up saying "I
Fates That disappearing again
I suddenly woke up at my desk and almost fell into my seat. The light coming from outside was peeking out of my window."It's already morning." I uttered to myself.I felt pain in my neck and even in my back because I fell asleep at the table while searching for information on the internet.That faceless girl with a creepy smile again, but she is different now. It looks like the dream I had today is as old as I am."But who am I now in that dream?" I mumbled to myself.Because my identity in that dream was different from before. I have experienced it twice even though I didn't know who I was there at first and now it happened to me again. What I just noticed now is that the identities of the two are different and also different places but the same thing is that it both happened at school."But what's my identity in both of those dreams?" The question I thought in my mind. The question that remains unanswerable.While I was busy thinking about what was happening to me, someone suddenly
Fates I. Kiishi-kun
As I watched his neck I forgot the things that were going on around me. It was as if this was all I could see. I stared hard at his disappearing or fading neck, as this was only the second time I had seen it."Prezz !!" Kouki shouted.I came back to myself because of Kouki's voice. I was stuck in my deep thoughts that I had forgotten what was happening. I calmed myself down first and then thought of things to do in this situation."Kouki and Hans, go carry Yuna and Yumi. Bring them to the infirmary immediately." I said seriously.First, Yuna and Yumi's wounds need to be treated. I need to make sure they aren't seriously injured and they are probably ok. Secondly, I need to save the student they are holding and maybe something might happen to him that will make the fading of his neck happen.But because of Kouki's shouting and my ordering of Hans and Kouki we got their attention. They immediately approached me and touched the collar of my uniform. Nao was readying himself to punch him
Fates II. Kiishi-kun
Kishimoto Amaya's POVI saw a student suddenly enter our classroom while we were in the middle of eating while shouting "Prezz !!" It looks like something is bothering him at the same time is the confusion in his face while looking for the person he calls Prezz. Everyone started talking and whispering because of the President thing."The Student Council President is in our room?""Who the heck is the President?""That asshole is in our class?"It is a taboo word at the school. Widespread rumors about the President of the Student Council are spreading rapidly in the school, so students don't mention the word President because of its bad reputation.Rumors said that the current President of the Student Council is a wicked person. That he / she just got his / her position because he / she bribed the director of the school. That he / she uses money just to get power. But no one knows who it is or what his / her gender or identity is. They said that he / she made himself / herself hidden s
Fates I. Kiishi-kun the past me
Ishikawa Kioshi's POV"Are you Kiishi-kun?"I looked at her because of that question. I could see in her eyes the emptiness as he stared into the distance. Her eyes looked empty as she said those words. I was quite dumbfounded by her question. And that name again, that name that I already forgot."How did you know that name?" Nao replied to her instead of me. Maybe Nao sensed something, that Kishimoto-san knows something rather than me being the Student Council President.She didn't answer but she just shifted her gaze to me, pain is the only emotion you can see in her eyes."Did I do something wrong? Did I say something wrong?" I thought to myself.I was confused and couldn't think straight. I should be the one who's angry because she secretly listens to our conversation. I should be the one to be upset. I should be the one to question her, but why is it the opposite?"Who are you?" I asked in confusion.Instead of answering my question, he just continued to stare at me with those ey

The code
Miyazaki Naoki's POV I just watched Kio in his seat. I can't stop the worry I feel especially when he went out earlier and came back after an hour had passed. Our class had ended earlier but he hadn't come back yet, but when I saw him enter the classroom when I was about to follow him, I immediately approached him. Instead of feeling relief from the worry, it only increased because he entered the classroom with his hair a little wet, his pale face and uniform are also wet, and I think his face was wet because of the water in the bathroom because he washed it there. But it's surprising, because his clothes are almost wet, is it from the water from the sink? Or from his sweat? But it's pretty unusual to sweat like that just by going to the bathroom or maybe something happened? There's a possibility that something happened. I immediately remembered the paper that Kio handed me earlier before he went out. I took it from my pocket and looked at it, maybe it's connected to this, to what’

“Inaudible voice in an unknown language.”“Inaudible voice in an unknown language.”“Inaudible voice in an unknown language.”"Choose."I didn't understand the first things he said but when he said the word "Choose." The dreams that I dreamed about related to the storage room, related to that student hanging in the ceiling just suddenly played back on my mind, repeatedly like the shadow was torturing my mind.I grabbed my head and tried to squeeze it, squeezing it. Trying to stop the repeatedly playing of that nightmare. It's not a dream anymore but a nightmare and it's messing up my mind. And it's making my visions blurry because the more the memories play on my mind the more my head hurts. I just bowed because of what I'm feeling right now.It was difficult, but slowly I tried to straighten myself up while still holding my head with my hands. I looked in the mirror again and stared at it while waiting for my vision to clear. I saw the shadow, still standing behind me as if wa
Choose
"I need to choose." I uttered."What do you mean?" Nao asked, confused."I'll explain it using the codes." I clarified."Using the Caesar Cipher?" Hans curiously asked."Yes, I'll send it during the afternoon classes." I replied, because I still need to write it.Now I need their help, not only to make me think rationally but also to help me with something that might happen suddenly."And this way will be safer." I continued explaining."How can it be safe? You're still going to tell it to us, so what's the difference between saying it and writing it down?" Nao continued asking questions looking concerned because it might happen again like last time.Last time that I suddenly lost consciousness and felt a sudden pain in my chest, he was nervous because of the questions he asked. That time he regretted what he did and blamed himself.But that time we were in too much of a hurry because we both wanted to know the same side information we gathered. So this time, I know what I'm d
I need to choose?
"S-soma" I stuttered.As I saw Soma in front of me, smiling. Smiling like today is the best day of his life. His face was different, his vibes and aura were also different, but at the same time I felt fear and nervousness. Not only to Soma but also to Hiroto-san.He then faced me while I'm still staring at him in the mirror."Ishikawa-san, are you ok?" He said that interrupted my thinking."A-ah yeah hahaha, I just got a lot on my mind lately." I answered as I realized that I'm acting quite weird."Oh I see, good luck then hehe." He replied to me as he got back to what he was doing."How I wish your good luck can help me with what's on my mind." I said in my mind.I just watched him while washing his hands until he shook them and dried them."I'll be going now, Ishikawa-san." He said goodbye to me as he walked away from me and out of the bathroom.I should do something."Wait Soma, do you have plans later? Maybe you could join us, we're going somewhere later." I said, this is the only
The third shadow
That shadow with a complete face, tilted its head.I got startled and suddenly fell down, as I fell down I was in front of the toilet door. I looked around and realized that I'm back in my room. Everything was back to normal, except my heartbeat that still beats so fast after what I saw through that door. Trepidation and fear were the only things I felt at that time. I curled myself up as I tried to calm down."You need to be strong." I murmured."For Mio..""For Nao and Hans..""And for everyone."As I calmed down, I stood up and fixed myself.“It's just the beginning. And that beginning will happen tomorrow."—----*yawn*I didn't get enough sleep because of what happened last night. I kept on remembering it. I kept seeing him, that third shadow. Everywhere I looked I kinda saw him at first glance but when I looked back again, he's gone. Somewhat it's distracting me. Does it want to stop me? Is it because I know now that it will happen? That's why that shadow is hindering me, and rui

Ishikawa Kioshi's POV"I think-------AHHHHH!! The book I borrowed!!" I said as I panicked because I didn't have it."Where did I put it? I know I was holding it, where did it go??" I murmured as I was panicking while searching for it in my entire body."Maybe you dropped it along the way?" Nao said in uncertainty."No .. I didn't drop it, I know I was holding it until a while ago ….. wait .. a while ago." I said as I tried to recall what happened."You mean, they took it?" Nao asked as he realized what I'm saying."Yes, that's the last thing I remembered." I certainly replied."Then I will get it." Nao said seriously as he slowly removed my arm around his shoulder."I'll also come with you." I said, at the same time I stopped him from removing my arm from his shoulder."You can’t." Nao said as he looked at me."Well if I can't go, you can't either." I straightforwardly said to him."Why?" He asked."Because there are three of them." I explained."If there's only three then why did you
A proof of what might happen?
Ishikawa Kioshi's POV"K-ki-o?""Huh?" I suddenly said in my mind as I heard someone call my name."Who .. is it?" Again I said in my mind.Only in my mind can I utter a word because I can't open my mouth, I can feel the pain I feel especially on the lips.I could see nothing, I could not see what was in front of me because of the beating I had received earlier. I just felt my body suddenly lifted by somebody, as if someone was helping me to stand up.I was about to raise my head when I suddenly remembered what I had seen earlier.[Flashback]As I was walking along the road I met a man, I suddenly turned my attention to the one I met because I noticed that his body was almost gone and only a few particles were left."Excuse me." I suddenly said without thinking, because I was stunned and just staring at his body, but he didn't seem to hear me because he just kept walking."Hey!" I shouted as I reached out my hand to him, but still he didn't look back and I didn't reach him.Until
III. The book
"Yeah that Greek Mythology." I agreed to what Hans just said, because this is simply the only clue we have. "That's where we'll find the answers." I concluded.As we walked through the hallway Hans suddenly began to speak."Do you really think it's related to the book?" Hans asks in curiosity, while traces of thoughts and doubts can be seen on his face, if that book really has anything to do with what is happening to Kio."It's worth the shot, rather than nothing." I said straightforwardly. Even I am doubting but I can't let this chance slip away because this is the only clue we have.He is also skeptical because we will base what is happening in reality on a myth in ancient times especially when it is about gods and goddesses that were only made by people at that time, but I can't let him see that I'm also doubting, like him."We'll know if it's connected if we read the book. And so that you can freshen up your memory about it, since you've already read that book." I continued trying
II. The book
Miyazaki Naoki's POV"Where does the other one appear?""To Hans? Or maybe ..""To someone else?"I suddenly thought, because of what Hans said about how Kio seemed to see someone next to me.That I think is a shadow figure too, but that was just my accusations, conclusions based on what Hans just said. And the way Kio reacted when I said that about the shadow figure.Seems to be a pretty solid proof.[Flashback]I was about to leave Hans in the kitchen when he suddenly spoke again."Oh one more thing." Hans chased."What?" I asked."He also kinda saw something beside you a while ago before we ate." Hans said."What did he see?" I asked."I don't know but he was reaching at you but when I touched his shoulder nothing seemed to happen. He just bowed suddenly." He explained.Hmm .. What did he suddenly see at that time? Is it the same as what happened to me?"Is it the same as what I saw last time?" I suddenly uttered as I recalled what happened."Same with what you saw?" Hans
