What I've been looking for
A couple of years after my earlier story, "Peng You", the characters are at the ages of 20 and above, and they are all working now except one, well, who might that be? Anyway, Aya achieved her ambition of being a director; however, she's not the best yet. Nanami is a working designer now and, of course, she is working for Aya. Kaito is now a lawyer, using his old talkativeness. Kanata, on the other hand, is now a doctor and Miyu, well her singing in the play worked out so she's now a part-time singer and a detective as her talent has always been. Christine? Oh, right, Christine! She's the one who is not working. It's because she is taken Heiomachi Mental Hospital due to her mental depression and it is because…you already know that.
Story hint: From my story "Peng You" to this story, it's like the HSM series – turning from comedy to romance/drama. Chapter 1: Out of her mind Now here's the first chapter, entitled "Out of her Mind" The story begins with Miyu, walking home from work with Kanata then they changed paths when they reached the intersection at the Mango Street… (Car squeaks!!) Kanata was surprised by the car's squeaking itself which is from behind him, and so he turned around to see… "Miyu!" shouted Kanata. He then rushed to the unconscious Miyu who was actually lying on the ground now. " As the evidences show, the car's squeaking signaled that I was bumped…," Hey who was that talking?! Oh, it's Miyu! What is she doing? Sleep talking? Her abilities as a detective came out even though she was unconscious. Is that even possible? Anyway, back to the story… Kanata was surprised by Miyu's sleep talking but then he heard the woman who bumped Miyu laughing, "Hahahahaha!" Kanata was again, surprised and looked at the woman. Who might that be? "Christine!" shouted Kanata angrily. So it was Christine! Kanata continued talking, "How could you!?" But Christine continued laughing and ran the car again. -Flashback- "Christine!!!" shouted Christine's mother as she found no sign of her daughter in the room, inside Heiomachi Mental Hospital. The worse is she found the window open and the blankets tied up as a rope and is obviously used for escape. As she shouted, her sleeping husband and niece were awakened. "Honey…!" complained Mr. Hanakomachi, "Why do you have to shout when you can use the alarm clock just to wake us up??" "Hon, we have a problem!" replied his wife. "Just leave a note on the fridge…," answered her husband, signaling to his wife. "But there's no fridge! We're not at home!" answered is wife. On the other hand, Momoka already fell from her chair as she was surprised of her aunt's shouting. "Oww…!" she exclaimed. Meanwhile, Christine has successfully escaped from the hospital and has gotten inside her car. Then, she went to where Miyu is and planned to bump her (but how did she know where Miyu is?). At the time Miyu and Kanata changed paths, Christine took the chance to bump Miyu but because of her excitement, she was only able to half-bump Miyu but she was able to blow Miyu away but that's not the reason why she fainted. It's because Miyu's head hit the light post, BOINK!
