***

Kinukawa Kotoe heard the noise as well.

“What—?!”

She had already fled onto a different street, but the noise carried like the wind.

Everyone in earshot knew something was up.

(What is that crazy bitch thinking…?)

The people around her were turning their heads, and moving towards the noise. Presumably they had never heard real gunshots before. In this respect, Japan was still a peaceful country. Kotoe, however, had no intention of turning back and making sure of anything. She wanted to get away as quickly as humanly possible.

Kotoe started up the road in a temporary vacuum as everyone around her headed towards the noise, but then her feet suddenly stopped.

A man was standing in front of her.

He was not heading towards the noise, but looking right at her, waiting quietly.

He was wearing white.

“…………”

Kotoe could not understand why this had such an impact on her. To be strictly accurate, the surface consciousness Spooky E had imprinted on Kotoe did not understand.

(Who…is this again?)

She was mystified to find herself fretting because he’d seen her.

“…………”

The man in white moved slowly towards her.

He looked very sad. Kotoe felt that expression was very familiar.

Like something she had long since left behind…

“Wh… wh-who…are you?!” she shrieked.

Right there in the middle of the street, heedless as to who might see her, she pulled out her gun and pointed it at the man.

“…………” The man in white kept walking toward her.

Kotoe took a step backwards, helpless. She couldn’t let him get close to her. She couldn’t even look at his face.

She had to run away. She turned her back on him and took a step…

And he grabbed her hand.

“—Kotoe-chan,” he whispered.

When she heard his voice, Kotoe burst into tears. “L-let go!” she screamed, but it was a very feeble scream.

The man in white did as she asked.

Kotoe staggered, tripped over her own feet, no longer able to walk.

The man was in front of her again.

“I’ve known how you felt for a long time,” he said, quietly.

Kotoe could not answer. Consciously, she was unable to understand anything he said, but her body had frozen, unable to react.

“Wh-what…?” The word slipped out of her mouth despite her immobility, but he ignored it completely.

“I know that you were, in your own fashion, quite serious about me. But at the same time, I could see you. So I knew very well that, even if you loved me, you would never become happy.” His voice droned on and on, like some sort of machine.

“Ahhhh…” Kotoe began shaking.

“Your feelings are, sadly, nothing more than childish admiration, Kotoe-chan. You will never be able to truly love anything. That’s the way you are. Half of your feelings for me were nothing more than pity. You were only able to convince yourself that this was love because you are still a child.”

“Aaaah…”

“And you will always be lonely. You will never understand why you seem to be incapable of being truly passionate about anything…which will be an eternal source of sorrow. That’s why I interested you. I appeared to be sad, and you wondered if I was the same as you—but that was a delusion.
