The stars in my sky have all brightened ||Yuudai​ ​A​​||​ ​Epilogue

(A small warning that it’s a very, veryyyy long post, so brace with that. also pda sort of? But it’s not blatant)

…

Fifteen​ ​years.

Wow.​ ​What​ ​the​ ​hell​ ​happened?​ ​Did​ ​he​ ​really​ ​miss​ ​15​ ​years​ ​worth​ ​of​ ​life?​ ​Last​ ​time​ ​if​ ​he recall,​ ​he​ ​was​ ​19​ ​when​ ​he​ ​was​ ​supposed​ ​to​ ​go​ ​to​ ​the​ ​academy​ ​and​ ​then…​ ​What​ ​just happened​ ​exactly?​ ​If​ ​it​ ​was​ ​true​ ​that​ ​fifteen​ ​has​ ​passed,​ ​that​ ​means​ ​that​ ​he​ ​is​ ​34​ ​now..? That​ ​was​ ​honestly​ ​very​ ​bizarre,​ ​he​ ​wasn’t​ ​sure​ ​what​ ​caused​ ​it​ ​to​ ​pass​ ​15​ ​years,​ ​or​ ​what​ ​he did​ ​during​ ​all​ ​this​ ​time.

Looking​ ​down​ ​at​ ​his​ ​clothes,​ ​Yuudai​ ​noted​ ​that​ ​it​ ​has​ ​not​ ​changed,​ ​which​ ​add​ ​to​ ​the weirdness​ ​of​ ​this​ ​situation.​ ​But​ ​on​ ​the​ ​bright​ ​side…​ ​He​ ​hadn’t​ ​grown​ ​up​ ​much​ ​despite​ ​the long​ ​time,​ ​which​ ​is​ ​a​ ​good​ ​thing. Rubbing​ ​his​ ​face​ ​with​ ​his​ ​palms​ ​and​ ​patting​ ​his​ ​head​ ​in​ ​general,​ ​the​ ​blond​ ​noted​ ​he​ ​grew​ ​a stubble​ ​for​ ​some​ ​reason​ ​and​ ​his​ ​hair​ ​noticeably​ ​went​ ​longer​ ​than​ ​the​ ​last​ ​time​ ​he​ ​kept​ ​it​ ​at​ ​a length.​ ​…Guess​ ​that’s​ ​what​ ​a​ ​long​ ​period​ ​of​ ​time​ ​does. As​ ​he​ ​was​ ​brought​ ​back​ ​to​ ​his​ ​very​ ​relieved​ ​parents​ ​who​ ​finally​ ​saw​ ​him​ ​after​ ​so​ ​long,​ ​the blond​ ​felt​ ​happiness,​ ​worry​ ​and​ ​uncertainty​ ​all​ ​at​ ​the​ ​same​ ​time.​ ​Yuudai​ ​wrapped​ ​both​ ​of​ ​his parents​ ​in​ ​his​ ​arms,​ ​tightly​ ​hugging​ ​them.​

​Certainly​ ​they​ ​did​ ​look​ ​more​ ​tired​ ​and​ ​older​ ​now than​ ​the​ ​last​ ​time​ ​Yuudai​ ​saw​ ​them,​ ​and​ ​honestly?​ ​He​ ​did​ ​feel​ ​bad.​ ​However,​ ​the​ ​blond​ ​was at​ ​loss​ ​for​ ​words,​ ​he​ ​wanted​ ​to​ ​tell​ ​them​ ​what​ ​happened,​ ​why​ ​he​ ​wasn’t​ ​around​ ​when​ ​he should​ ​but…​ ​No​ ​logical​ ​explanation​ ​came​ ​to​ ​mind.​ ​Just​ ​a​ ​blank.​ ​The​ ​dancer​ ​frowned​ ​while trying​ ​to​ ​find​ ​an​ ​explanation,​ ​anything​ ​that’d​ ​explain​ ​his​ ​long​ ​disappearance…​ ​Until​ ​he​ ​was held​ ​again​ ​by​ ​his​ ​mother​ ​for​ ​a​ ​second​ ​before​ ​she​ ​spoke.

“It’s​ ​very​ ​strange​ ​that​ ​you​ ​don’t​ ​remember​ ​anything…​ ​I​ ​think​ ​that​ ​you​ ​should​ ​see​ ​a​ ​doctor about​ ​your​ ​amnesia,​ ​my​ ​son.​ ​You​ ​know​ ​what​ ​though?​ ​Despite​ ​that,​ ​the​ ​fact​ ​that​ ​you’re​ ​here is​ ​the​ ​most​ ​important​ ​for​ ​both​ ​me​ ​and​ ​your​ ​father.​ ​You’re​ ​safe​ ​and​ ​we’re​ ​so​ ​thankful​ ​for​ ​that. During​ ​all​ ​those​ ​time,​ ​we​ ​were​ ​really​ ​hoping​ ​you​ ​were​ ​safe,​ ​that​ ​you​ ​were​ ​okay,​ ​that​ ​you  were​ ​​alive​.​ ​And​ ​I​ ​imagine​ ​your​ ​boyfriend​ ​would​ ​have​ ​been​ ​relieved..​ ​But​ ​I​ ​don’t​ ​know​ ​if​ ​he’s aware​ ​of​ ​the​ ​news​ ​right​ ​now.”

Boyfriend..?​ ​Wait​ ​what?​ ​Taiki?​ ​He’s​ ​around,​ ​right?​ ​But..

“W-what​ ​do​ ​you​ ​mean​ ​by​ ​that,​ ​mom?”

“He’s​ ​not​ ​longer​ ​reachable,​ ​since​ ​our​ ​contact​ ​has​ ​been​ ​drifted​ ​over​ ​the​ ​years…​ ​Huh-”

Suddenly,​ ​a​ ​phone​ ​nearby​ ​rang,​ ​prompting​ ​the​ ​mother​ ​to​ ​pick​ ​it​ ​up​ ​and​ ​then​ ​immediately passes​ ​it​ ​to​ ​Yuudai​ ​few​ ​seconds​ ​later.​ ​On​ ​the​ ​other​ ​line…

“…Hello?​ ​Is​ ​Akiyama​ ​Yuudai​ ​here?”  

That​ ​voice…​ ​That​ ​voice​ ​he​ ​missed​ ​oh​ ​so​ ​much…It​ ​felt​ ​like​ ​it​ ​has​ ​been​ ​forever​ ​since​ ​he​ ​has heard​ ​that​ ​gentle​ ​voice…  

“Taiki?!​ ​It’s​ ​me…​ ​I’m​ ​home!​ ​I..​ ​I​ ​really​ ​want​ ​to​ ​meet​ ​you​ ​right​ ​now…!​ ​Could​ ​it​ ​be​ ​possible… Love?”

For​ ​the​ ​first​ ​time​ ​in​ ​a​ ​long​ ​time,​ ​Yuudai​ ​slipped​ ​back,​ ​even​ ​for​ ​a​ ​second,​ ​in​ ​the​ ​familiarity,​ ​he wanted​ ​to​ ​feel​ ​comfort,​ ​but​ ​it​ ​would​ ​not​ ​be​ ​complete​ ​without​ ​further​ ​confirmation.​ ​Fighting back​ ​tears,​ ​he​ ​waited​ ​for​ ​Taiki​ ​to​ ​talk​ ​again.

“O-of​ ​course..!​ ​Your​ ​parents​ ​haven’t​ ​moved​ ​away,​ ​did​ ​they?”

Hearing​ ​that​ ​little​ ​doubt​ ​in​ ​the​ ​voice,​ ​Yuudai​ ​glanced​ ​around​ ​in​ ​silence​ ​then​ ​whispering​ ​the question​ ​to​ ​his​ ​parents,​ ​the​ ​blond​ ​confirmed​ ​that​ ​they​ ​always​ ​stayed​ ​at​ ​the​ ​same​ ​place​ ​even after​ ​15​ ​years.

“No,​ ​they​ ​have​ ​not.​ ​Same​ ​place​ ​as​ ​usual.​ ​Do​ ​you​ ​remember​ ​the​ ​address?”

“Give​ ​me​ ​a​ ​second…​ ​I​ ​found​ ​it!​ ​Let​ ​me​ ​be​ ​on​ ​the​ ​way​ ​right​ ​away.​ ​You​ ​just​ ​got​ ​back​ ​after​ ​all, so​ ​it’s​ ​best​ ​you​ ​wait​ ​where​ ​you​ ​are.​ ​Oh​ ​and​ ​a​ ​heads​ ​up;​ ​it’ll​ ​take​ ​few​ ​hours​ ​for​ ​me​ ​to​ ​arrive but​ ​I’ll​ ​keep​ ​you​ ​on​ ​touch,​ ​okay?”

“Yeah,​ ​I​ ​understand,​ ​no​ ​problem. See you soon..!”

This​ ​exchange​ ​felt​ ​surreal,​ ​from​ ​surprised​ ​to​ ​relieved​ ​to​ ​sentimental…​ ​And​ ​most​ ​importantly, being​ ​hopeful.

Few​ ​hours​ ​later​ ​and​ ​confirmation​ ​of​ ​the​ ​points​ ​where​ ​Taiki​ ​was,​ ​a​ ​doorbell​ ​rang,​ ​prompting Yuudai​ ​to​ ​sprint​ ​toward​ ​the​ ​door​ ​and​ ​open​ ​it​ ​wide-

It​ ​was​ ​none​ ​other​ ​than​ ​his​ ​beloved,​ ​although​ ​with​ ​shorter​ ​hair​ ​and​ ​dressed​ ​up​ ​nicely,​ ​it​ ​was so​ ​contrasting​ ​with​ ​Yuudai​ ​himself,​ ​whose​ ​clothes​ ​has​ ​been​ ​reminiscent​ ​of​ ​the​ ​time​ ​back​ ​in Hope’s​ ​Peak​ ​but​ ​his​ ​physical​ ​appearance​ ​was​ ​in​ ​his​ ​30s.

Staring​ ​at​ ​each​ ​other,​ ​as​ ​if​ ​to​ ​confirm​ ​that​ ​all​ ​this​ ​is​ ​real,​ ​and​ ​not​ ​a​ ​dream,​ ​the​ ​dancer reached​ ​up​ ​and​ ​gently​ ​held​ ​Taiki’s​ ​face.

“You…​ ​Are​ ​really​ ​here…​ ​I’m​ ​so​ ​happy…​ ​And…​ ​I’m​ ​so​ ​sorry​ ​for​ ​being​ ​gone​ ​for​ ​this​ ​long,​ ​I’m sorry…”

If​ ​Yuudai​ ​started​ ​to​ ​tear​ ​up,​ ​Taiki​ ​would​ ​cry​ ​of​ ​joy​ ​after​ ​a​ ​bit,​ ​wrapping​ ​the​ ​dancer​ ​in​ ​a​ ​tight hug.

“You’re​ ​safe.​ ​I’m​ ​so​ ​relieved….”

Lifting​ ​the​ ​shorter​ ​blond​ ​up,​ ​the​ ​taller​ ​male​ ​gave​ ​a​ ​soft​ ​kiss​ ​to​ ​his​ ​beloved,​ ​who​ ​has​ ​returned it​ ​happily​ ​alongside​ ​a​ ​warm​ ​hug.​ ​For​ ​a​ ​little​ ​moment,​ ​it​ ​felt​ ​longer,​ ​as​ ​they’re​ ​taking​ ​the precious​ ​minutes​ ​to​ ​live​ ​in​ ​the​ ​present.​ ​As​ ​both​ ​calmed​ ​down​ ​from​ ​the​ ​highly​ ​emotional reunion,​ ​the​ ​dancer​ ​entwined​ ​his​ ​fingers​ ​with​ ​Taiki’s​ ​and​ ​stayed​ ​quiet​ ​aside​ ​a​ ​small​ ​genuine smile.

“…So​ ​tell​ ​me​ ​dear,​ ​what​ ​are​ ​you​ ​doing​ ​right​ ​now​ ​like​ ​job..?”

“I’m​ ​a​ ​teacher.”

“Sweet…!​ ​Man,​ ​I​ ​need​ ​to​ ​catch​ ​up​ ​on​ ​stuff…​ ​Still​ ​can’t​ ​believe​ ​it’s​ ​fifteen​ ​years…”

“Do​ ​you​ ​remember​ ​anything…?”

“…No,​ ​sorry.​ ​I​ ​don’t​ ​know​ ​why​ ​or​ ​how…​ ​It’s​ ​just..​ ​A​ ​huge​ ​blank​ ​in​ ​my​ ​brain.​ ​Should​ ​see​ ​a doctor​ ​about​ ​that,​ ​I​ ​dunno​ ​why​ ​it’s​ ​been​ ​like​ ​that.”

“It’s​ ​best​ ​that​ ​you​ ​go,​ ​yes…​ ​I​ ​can​ ​go​ ​with​ ​you​ ​if​ ​it’s​ ​okay.”

“Yeah​ ​well,​ ​I​ ​think​ ​we​ ​need​ ​to​ ​take​ ​an​ ​appointment?​ ​I’ll​ ​do​ ​that​ ​as​ ​soon​ ​as​ ​possible…​ ​It​ ​just need​ ​confirmation​ ​and​ ​yada​ ​yada,​ ​I’m​ ​wondering​ ​if​ ​it’s​ ​too​ ​soon​ ​if​ ​I​ ​ask​ ​to​ ​visit​ ​your​ ​apart…?”

“Let’s​ ​do​ ​this​ ​after​ ​the​ ​confirmation​ ​of​ ​the​ ​appointment,​ ​okay?​ ​It’s​ ​best​ ​to​ ​avoid coincidences.”

“Oh,​ ​that​ ​works,​ ​haha…”

Taiki​ ​ended​ ​up​ ​staying​ ​for​ ​few​ ​days​ ​at​ ​Yuudai’s​ ​home,​ ​only​ ​moving​ ​back​ ​to​ ​his​ ​apart​ment ​to​ ​pick up​ ​essentials​ ​or​ ​sleeping​ ​there.​ ​But​ ​as​ ​soon​ ​as​ ​he​ ​wakes​ ​up,​ ​he’d​ ​ensure​ ​that​ ​Yuudai​ ​is​ ​still there,​ ​which​ ​he​ ​is.​ ​Once​ ​Yuudai​ ​got​ ​the​ ​appointment​ ​and​ ​went​ ​to​ ​the​ ​doctor,​ ​who​ ​confirmed he​ ​has​ ​amnesia​ ​and​ ​there​ ​wasn’t​ ​any​ ​good​ ​explanation​ ​as​ ​of​ ​how​ ​it​ ​occurred,​ ​but​ ​only theories,​ ​the​ ​dancer​ ​was​ ​quite​ ​annoyed​ ​at​ ​himself​ ​mainly.​ ​​Why​ ​​can’t​ ​​he​ ​remember?​ ​Why​ ​so many​ ​years​ ​lost…?​​ ​And​ ​even​ ​after​ ​physical​ ​exams,​ ​there​ ​wasn’t​ ​anything​ ​strange​ ​with​ ​the man​ ​himself,​ ​only​ ​the​ ​memory​ ​loss,​ ​there​ ​wasn’t​ ​much​ ​that​ ​the​ ​doctor​ ​could​ ​do.​ ​Having​ ​to deal​ ​with​ ​it,​ ​Yuudai​ ​sighed​ ​and​ ​told​ ​Taiki​ ​the​ ​results​ ​as​ ​soon​ ​as​ ​he​ ​was​ ​out​ ​of​ ​the examination​ ​room.

“So​ ​you​ ​see​ ​uh,​ ​there​ ​isn’t​ ​anything​ ​that​ ​explain​ ​my​ ​current​ ​condition.​ ​It’s​ ​bad​ ​but…​ ​The  doctor​ ​said​ ​I​ ​am​ ​fine​ ​otherwise,​ ​that​ ​I​ ​don’t​ ​have​ ​any​ ​other​ ​issues.​ ​So,​ ​I​ ​know​ ​it’s​ ​worrying but…​ ​I​ ​don’t​ ​want​ ​to​ ​linger​ ​around​ ​it​ ​too​ ​long,​ ​you​ ​know?​ ​I​ ​do​ ​want​ ​to​ ​take​ ​the​ ​time​ ​to appreciate​ ​the​ ​​present​.​ ​You​ ​get​ ​what​ ​I​ ​mean…?”

Sheepishly​ ​scratching​ ​the​ ​back​ ​of​ ​his​ ​head,​ ​the​ ​dancer​ ​had​ ​too​ ​many​ ​thoughts​ ​to​ ​struggle with​ ​that​ ​maybe​ ​it’s​ ​best​ ​if​ ​he​ ​rests​ ​for​ ​tonight​ ​and​ ​sort​ ​out​ ​the​ ​thoughts​ ​properly​ ​eventually.

“I​ ​see…​ ​​ ​Well,​ ​would​ ​you​ ​like​ ​to​ ​go​ ​stay​ ​with​ ​me​ ​for​ ​the​ ​time​ ​being?”

“But​ ​of​ ​course!​ ​I’m​ ​really​ ​curious​ ​as​ ​to​ ​what​ ​your​ ​apartment​ ​looks​ ​like..!”

Once​ ​he​ ​was​ ​leaving​ ​the​ ​hospital​ ​with​ ​his​ ​beloved,​ ​Yuudai​ ​agreed​ ​with​ ​his​ ​parents​ ​that​ ​he’ll stay​ ​at​ ​his​ ​boyfriend’s​ ​home​ ​for​ ​now​ ​and​ ​he’ll​ ​buy​ ​new​ ​clothes​ ​in​ ​the​ ​meantime,​ ​while​ ​also searching​ ​a​ ​job.​ ​The​ ​man​ ​kept​ ​some​ ​good​ ​clothes​ ​that​ ​didn’t​ ​strike​ ​out​ ​too​ ​much​ ​and​ ​were still​ ​in​ ​good​ ​use.​ ​As​ ​his​ ​basic​ ​needs​ ​were​ ​met,​ ​the​ ​dancer​ ​moved​ ​into​ ​Taiki’s​ ​apartment​ ​and visited​ ​it​ ​for​ ​the​ ​first​ ​time​ ​he​ ​was​ ​staying.

There’s​ ​quite​ ​a​ ​lot​ ​of​ ​plants,​ ​an​ ​extensive​ ​collection​ ​here​ ​particularly,​ ​those​ ​did​ ​give​ ​more​ ​life in​ ​a​ ​sense​ ​to​ ​the​ ​apartment,​ ​which​ ​was​ ​nice.​ ​There​ ​were​ ​all​ ​rooms​ ​you’d​ ​find​ ​in​ ​such apartment​ ​and​ ​those​ ​looked​ ​also​ ​spacious.​ ​Yuudai​ ​was​ ​impressed​ ​with​ ​how​ ​nice​ ​it​ ​was​ ​and was​ ​careful​ ​with​ ​the​ ​items​ ​laid​ ​there.​ ​Once​ ​he​ ​was​ ​told​ ​he​ ​could​ ​make​ ​it​ ​his​ ​home​ ​as​ ​well, Yuudai​ ​took​ ​the​ ​time​ ​to​ ​lay​ ​down​ ​and​ ​thought​ ​about​ ​how​ ​he​ ​has​ ​felt​ ​the​ ​last​ ​week.​ ​A​ ​lot happened,​ ​didn’t​ ​it?​ ​What​ ​more,​ ​the​ ​so​ ​mentioned​ ​15​ ​years,​ ​there​ ​must​ ​have​ ​been​ ​a​ ​shitton of​ ​stuff​ ​that​ ​happened,​ ​but​ ​no​ ​event​ ​is​ ​sticking​ ​there​ ​in​ ​his​ ​memories…​ ​What​ ​was​ ​going​ ​on…

He​ ​has​ ​told​ ​himself​ ​he​ ​shouldn’t​ ​bother​ ​with​ ​that,​ ​and​ ​yet​ ​it​ ​was​ ​nagging​ ​him,​ ​as​ ​if​ ​begging him​ ​to​ ​remember​ ​something​ ​important….​ ​That​ ​was​ ​impossible,​ ​as​ ​Yuudai​ ​realized​ ​once​ ​he felt​ ​some​ ​headache​ ​from​ ​over-thinking.

Urgh,​ ​damn​ ​it.​ ​Fine,​ ​so​ ​be​ ​it.

It’ll​ ​come​ ​nag​ ​him​ ​back,​ ​he’s​ ​sure​ ​of​ ​it,​ ​but​ ​he​ ​must​ ​keep​ ​himself​ ​busy​ ​from​ ​the​ ​same thoughts​ ​coming​ ​back​ ​again​ ​and​ ​again…

Once​ ​a​ ​night​ ​of​ ​rest​ ​has​ ​passed,​ ​the​ ​young man​ ​went​ ​to​ ​work,​ ​adjusting​ ​himself​ ​to​ ​the​ ​new​ ​fresh technology​ ​that​ ​Taiki​ ​has​ ​explained​ ​the​ ​purpose​ ​and​ ​the​ ​difference​ ​with​ ​the​ ​technology​ ​back then,​ ​and​ ​after​ ​some​ ​practice​ ​to​ ​be​ ​familiar​ ​with,​ ​Yuudai​ ​wasted​ ​no​ ​more​ ​time​ ​and​ ​went searching​ ​for​ ​a​ ​job​ ​and​ ​running​ ​around​ ​in​ ​places​ ​in​ ​the​ ​city.​ ​After​ ​quite​ ​a​ ​while​ ​and​ ​few interviews​ ​later,​ ​the​ ​short​ ​blond​ ​now​ ​worked​ ​as​ ​a​ ​receptionist​ ​in​ ​hospital.​ ​That​ ​at​ ​least​ ​was something​ ​he​ ​could​ ​start​ ​with,​ ​and​ ​for​ ​now​ ​he’s​ ​content.​ ​But​ ​he​ ​knew​ ​himself​ ​that​ ​this​ ​wasn’t enough​ ​and​ ​eventually​ ​he’d​ ​need​ ​to​ ​learn​ ​something.​ ​Remembering​ ​his​ ​goal​ ​when​ ​he​ ​was really​ ​young,​ ​the​ ​man​ ​looked​ ​around​ ​to​ ​find​ ​a​ ​way​ ​to​ ​manage​ ​study​ ​time​ ​and​ ​work​ ​time​ ​in order​ ​to​ ​get​ ​a​ ​diploma​ ​for​ ​becoming​ ​a​ ​nurse​ ​in​ ​quite​ ​some​ ​more​ ​years.​ ​Even​ ​if​ ​it’d​ ​end​ ​up later,​ ​it​ ​would​ ​be​ ​at​ ​least​ ​best​ ​later​ ​than​ ​​never​.

A​ ​year​ ​later

Even​ ​while​ ​studying​ ​and​ ​getting​ ​his​ ​life​ ​more​ ​on​ ​the​ ​track,​ ​Yuudai​ ​wasn’t​ ​without​ ​surprises. After​ ​a​ ​long​ ​walk​ ​in​ ​the​ ​city,​ ​he​ ​went​ ​home​ ​with​ ​a​ ​small​ ​shopping​ ​bag​ ​and​ ​prepared​ ​all​ ​while waiting​ ​for​ ​Taiki​ ​to​ ​come​ ​home​ ​after.

Once​ ​Yuudai ​hears​ ​a​ ​door​ ​click​ ​and​ ​the​ ​familiar​ ​voice​ ​that​ ​announce​ ​he’s​ ​home,​ ​the​ ​shorter​ ​male appeared​ ​before​ ​Taiki.

“Taiki,​ ​for​ ​the​ ​time​ ​we’ve​ ​spent​ ​together,​ ​for​ ​the​ ​time​ ​we’ve​ ​laughed,​ ​cried,​ ​cuddled,​ ​anytime that​ ​we’ve​ ​spent​ ​together…​ ​Our​ ​bond​ ​only​ ​managed​ ​to​ ​tighten​ ​even​ ​more​ ​that​ ​we’d​ ​thought, wouldn’t​ ​you​ ​agree?”

Before​ ​Taiki​ ​could​ ​speak,​ ​Yuudai​ ​continued,​ ​kneeling​ ​down​ ​and​ ​opening​ ​up​ ​the​ ​small​ ​box, which​ ​contained​ ​none​ ​other​ ​than​ ​a​ ​ring.

“If​ ​I​ ​ask​ ​you​ ​that​ ​we​ ​could​ ​keep​ ​our​ ​love​ ​eternal,​ ​if​ ​I​ ​ask​ ​you​ ​to​ ​be​ ​my​ ​fiance​ ​because​ ​I​ ​love you​ ​so​ ​much​ ​for​ ​who​ ​you​ ​are…​ ​Would​ ​you​ ​say​ ​yes?”

If​ ​the​ ​teacher​ ​was​ ​honest​ ​with​ ​himself,​ ​he​ ​was​ ​very​ ​happy,​ ​but​ ​also​ ​so​ ​nervous.​ ​This​ ​​was​ ​out of​ ​nowhere.​​ ​Opening​ ​his​ ​mouth​ ​after​ ​being​ ​frozen​ ​at​ ​the​ ​proposal,​ ​Taiki​ ​spoke.

“Are​ ​you​ ​sure​ ​about​ ​this,​ ​Yuudai..?​ ​I..​ ​I​ ​want​ ​to​ ​say​ ​yes​ ​but…​ ​Are​ ​you​ ​sure?”

“A​ ​hundred​ ​percent​ ​sure.​ ​I​ ​love​ ​you​ ​from​ ​the​ ​bottom​ ​of​ ​my​ ​heart​ ​since​ ​a​ ​long​ ​time,​ ​and​ ​no   matter​ ​what​ ​happens.​ ​We​ ​might​ ​not​ ​be​ ​the​ ​same people​ ​we​ ​once​ ​were​ ​when​ ​we​ ​started​ ​to​ ​know each​ ​other,​ ​but​ ​it’s​ ​only​ ​natural,​ ​true​ ​love​ ​would​ ​come​ ​from​ ​our​ ​hearts,​ ​no​ ​matter​ ​the appearance​ ​of​ ​oneself.​ ​I’m​ ​more​ ​than​ ​ready​ ​to​ ​spend​ ​the​ ​rest​ ​of​ ​my​ ​life​ ​with​ ​you,​ ​through both​ ​the​ ​good​ ​and​ ​the​ ​bad…​ ​It’s​ ​what​ ​make​ ​life​ ​more​ ​rich,​ ​right?​ ​It’s​ ​imperfect​ ​that​ ​it’s​ ​perfect in​ ​a​ ​way.”

At​ ​those​ ​words, Taiki then finally offered a smile, and stretched out the hand before speaking.

“Then.. Yes, my dear.”

With a gentle move, Yuudai took the ring from the small box then slid it on Taiki’s finger, before giving a kiss on the teacher’s hand, then on his lips after, fulfilling the wish the dancer wanted so much to do.

THE END.

Restart || Return to Life

Those who chose to live were lead back to the forest they had originally been found in with Saniiro doing something rather strange and then a bright flash of light before….

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Your body felt warm…but it also felt so sore like you had been beaten relentlessly. As you tried to sit up you still couldn’t see anything…but why? Where were you? Why did you hear sirens and the sounds of shouting coming closer to you and the sound of police radios crackling as they came closer.

As your eyes finally focused you could see the shapes of trees blowing in the wind and you suddenly felt a little cold as footsteps approached you and a feminine voice shouted out what seemed to be behind her…

“OFFICER TSUNEKO-SAN….I THINK WE FOUND SOMEONE”

Boots crunched the leaves underneath the female’s feet before she kneeled down next to you and others sounded like they arrived behind her and all you could do is groan in confusion and pain as you could not grasp where you were and how you got there. Why did you hurt so much?

“….Can you look at me? You don’t appear to be injured….but….where have you been for the past 15 years?”

That was a question that left you more puzzled than anything….fifteen years? The last thing you recalled was preparing for your first day at Hope’s Peak after getting the letter and packing your things to attend. There’s no way…you must be dreaming you wondered.

But this felt like no dream.

“Let’s get you to the ambulance…I have plenty of questions for you and the others…. I am officer Suzume… Suzume Han…You’re in good hands…but we have to figure out where are ”

….The others? So you weren’t alone?

As your eyes finally adjusted and you were able to see around you and not just pure milky white you saw the face and hair of the woman that was talking to you…she had green eyes and red hair with red lipstick to match her hair. But then you looked around at other agents helping other young adults off the forest ground whom you didn’t recognize but upon seeing them your head began to throb and you closed your eyes.

What….happened? And why can’t you remember anything.

Shortly after you were reunited with your families whom had assumed you to be dead and still missing. Despite their reactions to you being found safe and sound but 15 years older you had no idea what to say or do as you stared at them confused and wondering what on earth happened?

Despite your memory of the last 15 years seemingly being missing, and the many questions you had to what supposedly happened to you, at least in the end you were safe at home with your families once more.

Begin Again || Return To Life

In the end…

You chose to return to the life you once had.

After all, you were given what most people could only dream of having. A second chance at life. And how could you pass an opportunity like that up? To return to your friends and family you hold so dear. Sure, the reaper’s game and entry fee’s may have taken a lot from you over the weeks you’d been there but that doesn’t mean you’ve given up on hope completely. Even if things would never be the same as they were before at least you could be given back the life and future that was cruelly taken away from you by Kousei just weeks prior.

After you two come to a decision, and after watching the brutal death of a girl you can’t seem to remember anymore, Chuuya and Anatol approach you. You watch them give their farewells and with a flash of their hands there’s a sudden flash of white that overtakes your vision…

When you open your eyes you realize you’re  outside of the Haniiro forest. Dazed and disoriented.

How… Exactly did you get here? Weren’t you just in the manor just moments ago? You check over yourself and are relieved to see you’re all in one piece. As you look around you’re surprised to see a clear and sunny sky above you, something you hadn’t seen for weeks during your stay at the manor. There’s birds singing, insects and critters chirping, and no sign of that wretched mansion anywhere to be seen.

Just as you’re wondering what to do you hear the crunching of leaves and soft footsteps behind you. As you turn around you hear an audible gasp from a woman staring at you with wide eyes. 

“Oh my god are you…?" 

The Woman pauses for a moment, staring at you for a couple seconds before calling out behind her. 

”…Han-san you’re gonna wanna take a look at this.“

Soon the two woman are all over you, inspecting you for wounds and making sure you’re alright. You quickly recognize her as one two women you had seen enter the manor just weeks ago. But this time they actually see you. After making sure you’re okay and a couple of questions they quickly usher you with them and before you know it you’re at a police station.

What comes next is hard. You’re bombarded with questions. Where had you been for the past couple months? Where were the rest of your classmates? Who kidnapped you? It’s a struggle to find the right words to say. Police would never had believed your story anyway. After all, even in the old rundown manor Manor in the Haniiro forest there was nothing but old ruins and rotting wood. No signs of the killing game that had taken place. How were you to explain that you had practically been spirited away and been forced to watch your classmates die and murder each other? That your captor was long dead and gone? Whether you told the truth or lied and said you couldn’t remember it doesn’t matter to you.

In the end you were brought home to your families, some pleasantly surprised to see some of them. While you’re not sure if you had regained your lost entry fees or not it seems the possible ones involving your family members had been returned. Or were they ever truly in danger to begin with? It’s hard to say.

But despite the hardships and struggles you had been through, the deaths you were forced to witness, all of that was finally in the past. The tragedy and the horror would never truly leave you, but at long last you were finally free. Reunited with your family members safe once more

Perhaps the future didn’t look so bleak after all.

Memento Mori || Endgame

Once the votes had came in and Megami had clearly wanted neither Anatol approached her first before the remaining two of you.

“Ah…so it seems you will be taking up an offer not originally offered. I understand”

And before anyone could plead what was going to happen a bright light filled the room and the sound of a gasp could be heard before a thump as your eyes focused once more. Your head started to hurt slightly and your eyes adjusted after the light faded.

There you could see was a girl with purplish hair laying on the ground, eyes wide and a knife plunged into her chest.

“Shall we move on now that she has been dealt with?”

But as you stared at the corpse in front of you a lingering thought drifted through your mind… 

Who was she? And why did it hurt to look at her?

End Roll || Execution

In a pristine room lays a single bed. One might relate it to a hospital; the tall walls are white, without a speck of dirt or grime, like they’re scrubbed until the paint is just about to chip from the stress, but there’s no sign of anything else you might find in a hospital. Just one bed, barren, with one white pillow and covered in white sheets, with a small table next to it with one, single syringe on it. The far wall has a large screen, making it one of the only splashes of colour in the room - not that grey is much better.
