Author's note:

If you have read Narcissus (a free visual novel by stage-nana) before, then you will know how this story goes.

Soooo.. I got to say this. Many parts of this story would be the same or almost the same as the novel. So I apologize if its against any law or copyright. But I would be changing the plot slightly as the chapters go.

Why I wanted to write this was because of a friend. She reminded me of this and so, this is for you, my good friend.

And another thingy…. I don't own the characters.. they are own by Sunrise. (bloody hell) and all the credit goes to them and stage-nana.


Prologue

Spring 1996

I've never been very healthy ever since I was a child. Even so, I attended elementary school like any other child and during summer breaks. I would have my fair share of with friends. I would play till I was very tanned or at least very muddy. Climbing trees, playing soccer, catching spiders… anything would make me happy.

At least it was fun while it lasted.

June 1996

Shortly, after I entered middle school, the day after I'd ordered a swimsuit for use the next month.

My first hospitalization.

This was the day just before the first semester midterms.

This was the day when the first drops of rain were so cruelly cold, falling from amidst the pure white of the overcast sky.

Of course. All my classmates came to visit me almost everyday.

And when I was released, they could come over to my house to play. But this was only the first time around.

Autumn turned to winter, winter turned to spring and spring became summer soon after.

It became a vicious cycle.

Hospitalization, release, clinics…. And hospitalization again.

And before I knew it, my once called friends, turned into acquaintances, and slowly, to strangers.

As if with each changing of seasons, my existence was slowly erased from their collective memory.

"It seems that to all those normal people, my very existence was an 'unpleasant' fact."

"And so… it looks like I've been erased… I'd spent too many seasons, so many white overcast skies, without the want or need to converse with anybody..."

For that matter, my many textbooks never changed. They were still the same 1st-year middle school student before the first mid terms.

"That is where my time seems to come to an end."

So if you guys have read the novel before (by stage-nana) you will know what will happen in the end... and it isnt a happy ending.

And another note: i got to say sorry to anyone who is unhappy with this start.. coz its almost the same as the novel.. but i couldnt change much of it or the plot wont flow... so sorry! but the upcoming chapters would be more towards the Mai Hime Characters instead of the Original couple in the novel...

So this is a prologue. More will be coming soon…R&R please!
