It's been three days since Y/n went to the Hell of Mirrors with Yashiro and met the self-confident Mitsuba.

      "Because of that Tsukasa," Y/n says to herself while sipping her banana milk using a straw. "He pressured Mitsuba to rule over Number Three's Boundary by eating the former's remains."

      "I wonder how Kou-kun handled the situation of his ghost friend, though." Y/n pondered out. "If it wasn't for that fucking Tsukasa, they could have been okay."

      She slid down to the floor and sighed as she looked at the ceiling. "Mitsuba-kun, I hope you're doing alright. Someday you can tell that son of a bitch to fuck off and choke on febreze."

      On the next day, Y/n showed up to school normally as usual. "Good Morning, Y/n." Yashiro greeted her. Y/n smiled as she waved at her.

      "You too, Nene-chan." she said.

      Classes had begun, Y/n was twirling her pen while listening to the teacher. Her hair was a bit of a mess since she didn't have time to brush it, so she just shrugged it off.

      Y/n blinked for a moment then saw Hanako's face gazing hers upside down. "Hi~!" he greeted her.

      Y/n's eyes widened and looked like she was about to scream any moment. "D-don't scream!" he frantically told her.

      The girl inhaled sharply and covered her face with a textbook. "What the hell are you doing here?" Y/n whispered.

      "I have the sudden urge to see you~" Hanako answered.

      Y/n raised an eyebrow at him. "Are you okay?" she asked while whispering. "What are you talking about?"

      Hanako went infront of her desk and smiled at her. "Do you think I'm lying?"

      Y/n felt her heart skip a beat then she shook her head. "I'm in class, be quiet okay?"

      Hanako stood up and went over to her ear. "How about I talk like this?" he whispered huskily that made Y/n's face exploded into a bright red blush. "Y/n?"

      Y/n turned her head towards Hanako and gave him a slight glare. "You look like an angry mochi." he told her.

      "Quit teasing me."

      The Mokke gave Hanako a hairbrush as he started to brush her hair. Y/n scribbled something at her notebook and signalled Hanako to read on what she just wrote.

      'I was thinking that Kou-kun might be feeling down'

      "Why?" he asked while putting his finger to his lip as he pouted.

      'He's friends with Mitsuba'

      'I'm sure his friend forgetting him made him feel lonely.'

      'What should we do to cheer him up?'

      Hanako puts his finger to his chin to think about something, then he turned to look at Y/n. "You're only worried for the boy, huh?"

      Hanako hugged her from behind by wrapping his arms around her neck. Y/n felt her heart race. "I was lonely when you got sucked into the mirror, you know?"

      "Weren't you lonely, Y/n?" He asked as their faces were close to each other. Y/n's cheeks turned red as her lips were slightly parted.

      "Now it's not the time." Y/n softly pushed him away. "I'm in the middle of class."

      Hanako grabbed her hand as he played with her fingers. "And here I was worried about you." he said with red tint on his cheeks.

      "Hanako-kun?" Y/n mumbled. Hanako looked away from her and went behind her to continue doing her hair.

      'So he was worried about me huh?' Y/n asked herself while looking at her textbook.

      "All done!" Hanako held her a mirror. "Take a look!"

      Y/n grabbed the mirror and saw that Hanako turned her hair into space buns and loose hair on the sides of her face. It looked pretty on her.

      "Space buns suit you, you know?" Hanako tells her. "You should try it often."

      Y/n licked her lips as she looked at the mirror again. Hanako gave her a confusing look. "You don't like it?" he asked while pouting.

      "I like it." she smiled at him. "You're right though, it does suit me."

➽───────────────❥

      "Wow Y/n!" Yashiro pointed at Y/n's hairstyle. "You look good!"

      "Thanks." Y/n gave out a weird chuckle at the compliment. "Hanako-kun, gave me a hairstyle at the back since my hair is a mess."

      Y/n groaned. "Why is he making me blush and feel weird!" she said.

      "What have you fallen inlove with?" Yashiro asked her. Y/n covered her blushing face.

      "An apparition." she answered.

      After classes, Y/n was carrying some supplies to the Astronomy club. While she was walking, she heard footsteps behind her, she turned around but no one is there.

      Y/n sighed as she continued walking. Then, she heard a familiar voice calling her. "Y/n-senpai!"

      "Kou-kun!"

      Kou pointed at her space buns. "I like your new hairstyle, Y/n-senpai!"

      "Aw~" Y/n chuckled. "Thanks Kou-kun. Hanako-kun did it for me."

      "Wait, he did?!" he exclaimed in disbelief.

      "Yep!" she comfirmed.

      "I didn't know he can do those things." Kou says. "But Senpai, it looks nice on you."

      "By the way Y/n-senpai, why are you carrying a box?"

      "I'm on my way to the Astronomy Club." Y/n showed him what's inside the box. "They are new books."

      "Which reminds me." Y/n excitedly says. "Let me show you the Activity log that I was talking about days ago!"

      Y/n and Kou arrived in the Astronomy clubroom. Tsurumaki and Hazawa are talking with each other until they turned their heads at Y/n.

      "Y/n-san!" Tsurumaki cheered as she ran over to her and gave her a hug. She looked at Kou. "Who's this?"

      "He's Kou Minamoto." Y/n puts Kou infront of them. "Say hi to them."

      "Wait? You're Minamoto-senpai's brother!" Hazawa pointed out then she smiled at Y/n. "Nice hairstyle."

      "Thanks." Y/n twirled a lock of hair as she laughed sheepishly. She puts the box on the table and went to the bookshelves.

      Y/n pulled out their activity log last year from the shelf. The cover of the activity log is constellations, which was made by her. "Here read it." she told Kou.

      "Wow! Senpai this is so cool!" he said as he flipped through the pages.

      "And those pictures were taken by Mitsuba-kun." Y/n told him. "He was surprisingly good."

      "You can keep it if you want something to remind you about Mitsuba-kun."

      Kou looked at Y/n. "But Senpai, isn't this yours?"

      "Mhmm." Y/n hummed. "I want you to keep it, besides this thing was made last year."

      Kou held on to the activity log and smiled at his senior. "I got it, I promise I won't ruin this."

      "Thanks Kou-kun." Y/n smiled.

      "You're welcome, Y/n-senpai."

      Souho was standing infront of his classroom while holding a pair of scissors on his hand. He caressed the open blade with his fingers. As his eyes landed on Y/n, he immediately grabbed her hand. "Ow, what the heck——Souho?!"

      "Hello, Y/n." Souho said in a sickly sweet tone. Y/n's eye twitched in annoyance at the set up that he was having.

      "Souho, we're over." Y/n tells him. "We talked about this!"

      Y/n raised her hand but Souho stopped the attack by grabbing her wrist, gripping it tightly. "Acting high and mighty yet your reflexes aren't good———"

      Y/n kicked the side of his leg as he slightly let go of her. "What the hell is wrong with you?!" she yelled while holding on to her bruised arm.

      Souho walked towards her as he raised his scissors at Y/n. "Didn't you say you want to die right? Facing the same fate as your sister."

      Y/n's eyes widened. "H-how did y-you know I had a twin?" her breath was shaking as sweat trickled down her forehead.

      "I was there when it happened." he told her. "I was in that car."

      "Y-you!" Tears began to stream down her face. "Y-you m-monster!"

      Y/n felt weak as she learned the truth. Souho grabbed her wrists as he harshly pinned her to the floor. Y/n struggled to break free from his hold. Souho raised his scissors at her.

      "No one's coming to save you now, Y/n!" He told her. "You're just a waste of space that no one wants, friends be faking around you, you're just the definition of pathetic."

      Y/n laughed bitterly with tears on the corner of her eyes. "I can't believe I'm going to get killed by a person like you who also killed my sister."

      Y/n saw the glimpse of Hanako creeping behind Souho, he gave a little wave at the girl. "Didn't you want that?" Souho asked her. "Being killed by the same person who killed your sister?"

      "Ew, why would I die in your hands." Y/n scrunched her face in disgust. "Imagine my soul giving the look of disappointment when it realizes that you were the one who killed me."

      "Don't be cocky, Y/n." Souho scolded her.

      "Sucks to suck, I guess." Hanako raised his hand as he chopped the back of Souho's neck to make him pass out.

      Y/n puts her hand on her chest as she panted heavily. Hanako glared daggers at Souho. "Didn't your parents teach you not to steal things that belongs to other people?" he told him.

      "Hanako, it's fine." Y/n told him. "It's over. He tried to kill me, it was his plan all along. But I think it will be better if he did though, I might be an apparition to be able to understand you, since I don't know anything about him."

      Hanako sighed in frustration. "Y/n, you're such a silly girl, you know?"

      He reached over to wipe her tears then hugged her tightly. "Thanks. I wanted to tell you, but I never did."

      "That was the first time a girl ever told me she likes me, don't worry I like you too." he added. "It honestly made me feel happy."

      Hanako pulled her away from the hug. "You know, I have a younger brother,"

      'You mean that annoying shrimp?'

      "Oh."

      "I killed him, though." he finished.

      "We're so alike, you know." Y/n tells him. "We're both the older twin."

      "Y/n, do you really want....to know me?"

      Hanako smiled slightly at her. "If you do, then one day I'll tell you everything."

      He held up his pinky finger. "So stay my assistant till then."

      Y/n held out her pinky finger and interlaced it with his. "I promise." she smiled.

      Hanako-kun, the ghost.

      Y/n L/n, the ghosted.

      "Y/n, were you really afraid of me?"

      The girl smiled at him. "Why would I be scared when I'm ghosted before?"
