With her hands above her head, Sayori stretches as she exits the classroom where her last lesson took place. Her voice leaks out a little when she does.
Finally done for the day, she returns her body to a more normal position and makes her way outside.
Before making her way to the school gate however, the small building containing some public toilets catches her eye.
There's not really any students who use them for some reason. However, she didn't see any harm in it and decided it'd be easier than going all the way back into the main building.
Upon entering the toilets, it seemed like a surprisingly 'okay' place. Not much going on, but the evening sunlight gave it a nice calm atmosphere. It's also rather small, as there are only 4 stalls, which may be why people choose to not even bother with it.
There may have been a period where this toilet was used more often and it's easy to see how quickly it would've been completely full.
She opened the second stall and after examining the interior, went in and locked the door behind her. Once again, nothing bad about these toilets at all, seems cleaner than the one in the main building.
After finishing her business and once again exiting the stall she remembered a rumour about this place. She looked around and realised she was sitting in the exact toilet the rumour was supposedly about.
In the third stall from the end of the girl's bathroom of the old building…
…You'll find Hanako-san.
She will grant one wish to anyone who summons her spirit.
But in exchange, that person will have to give up something precious.
To summon the ghost, you knock three times…
And thenー
"Hanako-san Hanako-san."
"Are you there?"
Sayori thought about it for a moment and curiosity got the better of her.
'A kind spirit who trades something precious for a wish...'
'There's no harm in trying right..?'
Sayori looked through her bag for a moment to find anything she could trade with the ghost. She tried to ignore it, but there was one item that definitely stood out to her.
'I don't think I can find anything else...'
She reached in and pulled out a notebook. It was a nice pastel blue with a soft heart design on the front. She flipped the first page and stared at the title for a couple minutes
Sayori's 'feel better' poems!
'This rumour is most likely fake anyway...'
She stuffed it back into her bag and walked up to the 3rd stall from the end... the same one she was in mere moments ago.
The girl raised her hand, knocked three times and spoke.
"Hanako-san, Hanako-san... Are you there?"
The words hadn't even left her mouth before she already felt embarrassed that she even tried it in the first place.
'Argh... this was dumb...'
Ready to leave and go home, Sayori turned around and started walking towards the exit.
