It’s cold, it’s painful, help me, Satoru-kun. Why? Where did you go off to? Don’t leave Mika behind, I love Satoru-kun. I will die without Satoru-kun. Satoru-kun, you’re the only one I can see. Mika can’t see anything else. Without the light Satoru-kun, it’s pitch black, and I get scared and start trembling. Satoru-kun, you’re my light, you know? What should Mika do? How should she live her life from now on? Why did you leave all on your own? For what? Why? Why? Why!! Mika has to be with Satoru-kun always. Satoru-kun is Mika’s everything. Mika needs to be with Satoru-kun. Satoru-kun, why? Please reply. You always replied right away, didn’t you? Did something happen? Satoru-kun. Mika can’t stand it if something happens to Satoru-kun, okay? Did you die? Satoru-kun, it’s a surprise right? Maybe you’re just really close by? If so, I hope you come out soon. I’ll hold you tight and won’t let go for the rest of my life. In that way, let’s rot away together. We’ll be together forever and ever. I think that would be wonderful.  Satoru-kun and I will be together always, forever. So, come on out of there now. It’s a surprise, right? Satoru-kun, you have always made Mika happy. Satoru-kun is a worrisome person. Even if you didn’t do that, Mika would be much happier and glad just to have Satoru-kun around. You don’t have to do anything to make me even more happy. It’s true, you know? Hey, so hurry up and come out. Mika can’t wait any longer. If you don’t do it soon, Mika will die of loneliness. Why, Why? Was it a lie when you said I’ll see you tomorrow? If Satoru-kun isn’t here, there’s no point in going to school anymore. Even though Satoru-kun helped me, Mika is feeling lonely again and might do that “thing” again. Mika, she will get tainted you know? What will you do? Because of Satoru-kun, I might go back to the way I was before. Satoru-kun saved me, but it would lose its meaning, you know? Satoru-kun, come quickly. Hey? Are you listening to me? Listen, Satoru-kun. Mika’s feelings should reach you, then why? Call Mika out gently like the way you always do. Tell Mika, she is a kind person. Tell Mika, she is pretty. Tell Mika, she understands people’s feelings. Comfort Mika. Keep an eye on me. Did you lie to me when you said you’d be watching over me always? Satoru-kun’s words and actions made me think that I should live my life properly from now on. I’ve become a person who can’t do anything without Satoru-kun. I’m going crazy. I’m losing my mind. Satoru-kun has to be here. Satoru is everything to Mika. Satoru-kun, you understand that Satoru-kun is all I have and I don’t need anything else, don’t you? I tried my best to be good in front of Satoru-kun, to get him to praise me and comfort me, but it’s meaningless now. If Satoru-kun is gone, then I have no one to love me in this world. You know that right? So quickly come on out of there. Hey? Did I make you wait too long so it’s hard to come out? That’s probably it right? Satoru-kun is surprisingly shy, that’s so cute. 

Then, I will slowly count to three; I will close my eyes and count, then come out, okay?

Three.

Two.

One.

Mika slowly opened her eyes and saw her room, which was a mess, exactly the same as before. Satoru was not there, as he should have been.
