Chapter 1 - Prologue
After the event of the Walpurgis Night, Rika Shiraki returned to being the student president. Her daily routine consisted of discussing the school's budget for club activities, planning for sports festivals, and handling any student issues that might come up. She would flawlessly perform her student councils duties by day and spend time with her family by night.
However, something has been torturing her non-stop ever since the Walpurgis Night.
Why?
Why is she missing two months of her life?
The time she checked the calendar, it was still September, with barely two weeks into the school year. Next thing she knows, its late November, and she doesn't remember anything in-between these two dates.
She went to the school's infirmary to discuss the possibility of a head trauma. Hiroko Takashiro, art professor and temporary school nurse, failed to find anything wrong.
"As far as I can tell, you're perfectly healthy" Takashiro says to Shiraki.
"My test shows that there's nothing wrong with her brain and there's no sign of physical injuries"
"But that can't right" Shiraki exclaimed.
"How could I possibly have just lost two months of memories in a single night? There has to be an explanation" Shiraki just couldn't accept this lack of evidence.
Takashiro felt a small wave of guilt. Takashiro was the explanation. She had wiped Shiraki's memories clean, so that she wouldn't remember her supposed love for Minase, her time was a rape victim, and her attempted murder of Minase. However, Takashiro still felt it was for the best.
"Shiraki, you should just give up. There's no way to recover a person's memory if you can't even identify the cause for it". Takashiro tried her best to get Shiraki to dismiss any notion of trying to get her memories back.
"But..." Shiraki started, but was harshly cut off.
"Shiraki!" Takashiro shouted back.
"You might end up getting herself hurt if you obsess over this.
Do you really want find out what caused your memory loss?
What do you think will happen to you if you find out?
Do you want to lose even more of your memories?"
Takashiro had no choice. If Shiraki ever found out, she would be force to wipe out even more of her memories.
Shiraki signed. She wasn't getting any help from the nurse, but she also couldn't deny her reasoning.
"Alright, if that's what you think is best" Shiraki said, but secretly she thought differently
"Alright then" Takashiro was happy to see that she convinced Shiraki to stop her search, least that's what she thought.
"Well, I understand you have a student council meeting to attend to" Takashiro reminded Shiraki
"Yes, I better get going" Shiraki said, hoping she might have better luck finding something in the council's room.
