"Oh Takane. You were so selfish to leave me all alone here."

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I would've done anything to see her one last time. Wishes almost always come true— so I'm making a wish. Ah, if I could have one last wish granted, it would be to tell that girl who would always hit the gullible me…..

There are a lot of things I don't remember. There are also a lot of things that I don't understand. I always thought I'd never be able understand or remember. But I guess today I'm starting to understand that things are often more complicated then they seem. I was so naive. I'd learned from the world around me that first love never lasts. Which is why I ignored the funny feeling in my stomach when I was around her, which is why I called it friendship, which is why I never told her how I felt. I knew that my death was inevitable, I knew I didn't have much time left. That's why I tossed those feelings away. I didn't want to hurt her. I guess I kinda ended up hurting her anyway. I should've told her.

Tateyama-sensei told me a few hours after her death. It's only been a few hours. After I had an attack Takane went to get my things. She was worried, so worried, and scared. She felt responsible. She thought I would hate her. She felt selfish. So she purposely overdosed on her medication, which caused her death. I'm still at the hospital. I'm still wondering why she is gone instead of me. I recall a time I was walking through the halls. "Enomoto Takane? Oh yeah, she's selfish and always late to school. I think she just ditches." Selfish? I had always thought of Takane as kind. Deep down, she was just as sweet as any other person. But now, I'm starting to doubt that.

You were selfish, weren't you Takane? Oh Takane. You were so selfish to leave me alone here. I'm all alone. There are a lot of things you didn't know Takane. Things I thought about you. Did you know that I could never hate you? Did you know I thought you were beautiful on the inside and out? Did you know I could see my future in your dull hazel eyes. It's funny how you always thought of me as an optimist. I'm really not. Right now, I feel like I'm going to die. I want to die, Takane. Remember when I doubted we could make a shooting booth because I was unhealthy. You saw a little glimpse of my pessimism then.

When I was younger, they made me go to a support group. A few other kids with heart diseases and heart problems and terminal illnesses. Sometimes we watched kids movies. What I learned from those movies is that wishes almost always come true.

A few minutes ago, Tateyama-sensei walked in. I was choking on sobs and clutching my chest. The pain is increasing. The pain is so bad. Tears were streaming down my face and all I was capable of saying was "I want to see Takane" and I just wanted to live. I wanted to be happy with my friends. I wanted to have fun with friends.

Why is my body so weak? Why me? I just want to live. I wish I could have fun with friends. Tateyama-sensei's eyes are glowing red. "Isn't it funny how her last words were of her love for you." Clutching a bottle of pills, I came to realize something, you didn't kill yourself. This attack was induced by the thing possessing sensei. You weren't selfish after all. Right now, I wish I had a wish. If I had one last wish it would be to tell Takane.

And now, watching the empty husk they call 'Konoha' descend back onto Earth, I realize wishes do come true.

They come true in the most twisted ways.
