Onii-chan always says and does things to protect me. You will not hear him complain for his sake. His only complaint and concern is always about me. I still remember what he said that caused pain in my chest.

[Flashback]

"I can't bring them back to life but would you prefer that I should have died instead of them? I'm sorry if that didn't happen."

"If only they took me instead of them."

[End of Flashback]

Those words that time kept on playing in my mind. I don't want him to be sad but the only thing I can do during those hours is to make him happy.

He always blames himself for everything without hating anyone. He just hates himself more than everything. I even remember the time I saw him having a hard time.

[Flashback]

All of a sudden I woke up during those hours and got up from my bed. I was about to go out when I saw Onii-chan idiot looking at the door of our house.

"No, stop."

He bowed his head but slowly lifted it again.

"WHY? !!"

"Why .. why ..?"

"Did I do something wrong?"

    Miyazaki Naoki's POVWhile in the kitchen I couldn't help but worry about Kio, as if his actions were becoming strange. I don't know if I was the only one who noticed or just because I was there whenever he acted strange?He became strange when the accident ended. I don't know if it was because of an accident that happened to him or for some other reason? As I watched and watched Kio I saw one by one what he had changed. As it is now, he is often carried away by his emotions such as nervousness, sadness, anger and frustrations. And especially his strange gestures.I even remember him suddenly asking the name of a kind of ghost and the sudden interruption of what he was supposed to tell me.[Flashback]Kio and I talked about what we did at school, student council things and all the things that happened at school. As I was talking to him, he then suddenly asked me a question."Hey Nao, when we were still a kid do you remember the name of a faceless ghost? That grandma used to tell us?"

I noticed that he couldn't concentrate on class because he suddenly fell asleep."Kio." I called him."Nao?" He replied while blinking and rubbing his eyes."Are you ok?" I asked."I'm fine, why are you here?" He said."The teacher said to collect the textbooks then left and I saw you dozing off." I responded."Didn't you get any sleep last night?" I asked."Kinda." He sparingly said.You can see in him the fatigue both physically and mentally."You should go to the infirmary and have some rest." I said."No, I'm fine." He said as he stood up."Where are you going?" I asked."Bathroom." He responded and walked outside the classroom to go to the bathroom.Dizzy, he walks while holding his head.-------He returned to the classro

    Ishikawa Kioshi's POVI didn't realize that I had fallen asleep while doing my research. I slowly opened my eyes. My vision was kinda blurry because of the way I slept on my desk. I rubbed my eyes then I saw the shadow of someone close to me which surprised me causing me to suddenly fall into my seat. I looked up to see who it was, it was Nao standing beside me. I was surprised when I saw him standing there."Kio, are you ok?" He said when he saw me fall down my chair."I'm fine." I said."You sure? You're talking while you're asleep and you suddenly fall from your seat." He asked again."I'm fine ... wait, I talked while I'm asleep ??" I asked, looking incredulous."Yeah, and it's unusual." He said seriously."Why is it unusual?" I asked."I can't explain it." He replied."What did I say then?" I asked in return.When I asked, he took out his phone, took my earphone from the table and then plugged it into his phone. He gave me the earphones that were plugged in his phone."What's tha

    Saturday came with so many events happening that I thought many days had passed. And since this weekend I have a lot of time reserved to study and research everything, everything that happens to me.I got up from my bed and then sat down. I touched my head and remembered what happened last night. I didn't understand that whisper, it was just voices without the words contained.[Flashback]Then suddenly I heard whispers around me. I looked around to see someone around me. I saw a shadow forming a human form."Nao?" I uncertainly utter.I exclaimed because Nao was the only one with me in the room and there was no one else there but us. Nao and I just entered the room one after the other but it looked like he was already asleep as he got into bed because I knew he was tired of everything that happened today.I got up because the shadow was still there as if facing me while standing on the side of my bed. I can only see shadow because the light in the room has been turned off. I opened th

    "KIO !!!!"I suddenly opened my eyes because of the sudden shouting of my name that seemed familiar to me. When my vision cleared I saw Nao watching me while there was concern on his face.He approached me and he touched my forehead."Are you ok?" He worriedly asked."I'm fine." I replied while trying to hide everything inside."You don't look fine, what happened?" He worriedly asked."Nao, I'm really fine." I answered.I don't know what happened. The only thing I remember is hearing those voices. I don't know if it's a dream or if all that happened earlier is true."Are you really sure?" He asked again, looking like he's skeptical about my answer."Yeah." I respond while composing myself."You're being weird lately, something bothering you?" He asked. He notices it huh? even though I'm always trying hard to hide everything."No, I'm fine really." I said in assurance."If you're really fine, I already prepared breakfast." He said as he pointed at the dining area."Ok." I replied then

Does it seem like he's used to the strange things that are happening to him or is it because he has not yet realized that some people around him are already noticing his strange actions?[Flashback]I knocked first before I entered Kio's room and then called him.*Knock knock*"Kio?" I asked.I opened the door and slowly entered his room. It was dark and only the table lamp was on in his room.I move around my gaze inside the room but I don't see much inside because of the lack of light and only darkness prevails inside.I saw Kio resting his head on his desk as if asleep. I approached his whereabouts when he suddenly got up as he lay on his desk.I approached him even more to see if he was awake. I saw that he was still asleep, his eyes were still shut but his expression was different as if he was having a hard time."He's still asleep, Is he having a n

It was obvious that I wanted to convey to him not to ask any more questions. I was about to apologize to Hans but he suddenly spoke."I should go." He suddenly said as he tapped my shoulder.I heard his steps walk away from me. The door opened and his step disappeared for a moment, and then I heard the door slam shut.*sighI should be glad of what Hans did to wake me up earlier because he saved me from that eternal nightmare, because during those hours I was unable to wake up due to those whispers in the force that entered my mind.I got up when Hans came out and then turned on the lights. It was as if I regretted my strange answer and gesture in front of Hans, he might misinterpret all the things that I've said a while ago, *sigh.I set my table and put away the things that were placed there.

    I suddenly moved away from the table which caused everyone to be shocked. I was shocked as my heart continued to beat fast. I was shivering and sweating from what I saw. Too many things happened yesterday that caused my body to suddenly act. I could have stopped it but so much was happening that my body could no longer handle it, as if it was starting to weaken because of how it felt today."Hey, Kio." Someone said as it grabbed my shoulder.I slapped the hand that was holding my shoulder away because of the shivers I felt when someone grabbed my shoulder. My body is still shaking and weakening."What's happening to me?" I thought to myself."Calm down." Nao said, trying to calm me.When I heard Nao's voice I went back to myself. I grabbed my head and shook my head to wake myself up. Maybe I was still half asleep so I saw that earlier."Kio, are you ok?" Nao asked worriedly."I'm fine, did something happen?" I asked so they wouldn't suspect."Kio, are you sure you're ok? You look kind

    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’

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

    "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

    "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."

    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

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

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
