Real World:
I woke up from the dream sweating. What the hell did I do with my life until now, barely making 2 friends, not knowing if you can consider them friends
I was looking around my room, pacing frantically back and forth. My stomach rumbled a bit, guess I will cook myself a short meal
“You are awake as well”- Haruhime is cooking this late at night, no need to ask stupid questions
“Yes. I just… had a nightmare”
“You had a nightmare, more like a flashback. Isn’t it?”- Haruhime was near me, when did she get here?. Why wasn’t I aware
“Take a seat. I prepared pork ramen, the noodles took a while to make”- Haruhime poured me a bowl
“So tell me. What did you see?”- Haruhime tried to make me look her in the eyes. I am not even aware of what I am doing
“People were everywhere around, tried running, more will keep coming, they were calling me names, hitting me, throwing stones.”- My hands began to tremble violently
“Easy there”- Haruhime hold my hand
“Sorry”
“Take it easy. Breath in, breath out. Easy there, I am here for you”- Haruhime patted my head again, she is the only person that can calm me down

“Let’s eat now ok?”- Haruhime and I began to eat the Ramen, her cooking skills are masterful, the taste of this is just incredible
After eating, I yawned a little, the ramen seems to make me sleepy
“Come here”- Haruhime pulled my head in her lap. As a kid she used to do this a lot, it gave me a lot of comfort, but when she left for university things got hard for me, only seeing her for a few days every 4 or so months
Waking up the second day, my mom was staring at us with her hateful gaze
“Morning Daisuke”- Haruhime woke up. She began to gather the bowls and wash the dishes
“Morning”- I tried to help my sister around the house all this time as she can’t reach high places, so I hold her up when she couldn’t reach something or somewhere
“Hey. I have something to give you. Come with me”- I hesitated a bit, Haruhime grabbed my hand and dragged me to her room
“What did you want to give me?”- I looked around her room, only anime posters, manga and light novels on the shelves and walls of her room
“Here. Take this. I won’t come home until Christmas, just time I am able to come with you”- She gave me a pendant. A heart pendant in a shape of a snowflake
“Thank you!”- I bowed my head
“No need. I would get rest if I were you. You will need a lot of energy for tomorrow”- Haruhime instantly fell asleep. I didn’t check when we feel asleep last night, but we didn’t get more than 2 or 3 hours of sleep
Before falling asleep, I took one last look at the pendant my sister gave me. It looks so cute and nicely done
Still awake in my room as I couldn’t sleep, thinking that my presence there will ruin everything for Sara and Hanako, the fear that they will be harassed because of me.
I woke up the next day and got ready to go. They already told me the location. I was in the front of the shop waiting for them
