(1460) Days of summer…
Summer
MPOV
The light became blindingly bright as I opened them…
I felt as if I've slept for a verrrry long time.
I had a nightmare that I had died and Yukari kissed me while saying "Til' we meet again."
As I awakened, I see a room… no, not a room…
An empty space.
Pure light. Like the opposite of oblivion.
This is like KH Re: Chain of memories…I mulled.
A voice then resonated in my head…
Embrace your desires…
Sleep… you are tired…
"I've slept long enough, thanks!" I yelled.
Give in… the real world is a damned cruel place… sleep…sleep…
"Thanks, but no!" I yelled again.
Your choice…
Live your life…
An elegant woman then entered the space…
The weird thing was that I was floating while she walked easily.
"Well, well… took you a long time…" she said in a joking manner.
"W-who are you?" I said.
"I… am Margaret!" she said grandly.
For some reason, I feel like I've known her somewhere…
"Aren't you Mr. Peter Lao's (read Persona productions presents: Romeo+Juliet) girlfriend?" I asked.
"Wife. I am now Mrs. Margaret Lao… a little short, but better than Velvet…" she began.
"Oh, now look at me, talking 'bout myself… I have some news…" she said.
She paused for a moment.
"Yes?" I asked.
"You may leave here now." She said simply.
"Huh? What're you talking about? All I remember is that we beat Nyx and I went to the graduation-"I choked when I remembered the events after.
"I became the Great seal…" I said alarmingly.
"Correct." She said.
Then it hit him.
"Holy shit… I'm dead now, aren't I? Although, this wasn't really my vision of Heaven…"I said with grief.
Margaret chuckled.
"Yukari…" I whispered her name.
"Margaret. Tell me everything!" I said seriously.
"Okay… my sister, Elizabeth, took your place as the Great seal, thereby granting you freedom from death." She said grimly
"Bullshit… how the hell is that even possible?"I yelled.
"She has the same power as you. She dedicated her entire time on finding out how, thereby bequeathing her position as Master Igor's assistant to me."
He remembers the curious, fun loving young woman who loved her job as Igor's assistant…
"I can't let her do that! It'd be extremely selfish of me!" I said.
"I'll stay here! A-And she'll be free!" I said.
I owed Elizabeth that much at least.
"Listen. It's her fondest wish that you live. And don't worry, due to our qualities as both corporeal and incorporeal beings, she'll still be able to appear in the Velvet room, but she may not appear outside."Margaret said.
"I…I… how may I thank her?" I asked.
Margaret laughed.
"Oh come now… you may thank her by living your life to the fullest. Make every moment count. Like… get married… to that Yukari girl you've been so sweet on…" she said.
"Will we meet again?" I asked.
"Yes… in the velvet room." She said.
"Now… go… time passes in the real world…" she said finally before snapping her fingers.
Before I could react, my eyes grew really dim…
Then, I hear a great cracking noise.
Then… I see light.
YTPOV
I sighed as I pulled out my watch.
3:00 P.M.
Well… that's it…
Today's Minato's fourth death anniversary… Yukari sighs.
"Well, I should go to the Naganaki shrine now…" she mulls.
As she walks to the shrine,
She puts down her paper bag and starts to pray…
She prays fervently…
Oh lord Inari; please let Minato return to life… even if this is the umpteenth time…
She prays for him to return to her.
She then looks at her brand wristwatch that Minato gave her and realizes that it's 3:40 already.
"Crap! Thank you lord Inari!" she says as she leaves in a rush.
MAPOV
HUAAAA! I quickly gasped for air as the searing sunlight blinds me momentarily.
I flopped out of the great big tree from the Naganaki shrine face first as it split open, allowing me to get out.
"Owww… I wish Margaret would've put a pillow there…" I groaned.
"Damn… I'm as wobbly as a freaking ramen noodle…" I said as I struggled to walked awkwardly to the shrine well.
Only then did I notice that I was naked as I looked at my exposed reflection.
"Ah!" he then turns to look if anyone was there.
So far, no-one yet…
"Thank god Maiko isn't here…" I said, referring to the girl in the shrine.
I clasped my hands as I pray to Inari.
Oh Lord Inari… Give me some clothes! I promise not to be a womanizer anymore! I pray.
"What the hell am I asking?" I cussed said as nothing happens.
"I'm more likely to get hit by thunder than clothes!" I exclaimed.
I looked around.
"Ohhh! Clothes! No thanks Lord Inari!" I said as I snatched the paper bag of clothes.
I find some mens clothes like a black polo and tan beige pants and mid cut leather loafers but strangely, no underwear.
"Looks like I'll be going commando…" I said as I pulled my new pants on my lower body.
As I buttoned up my shirt and wore the shoes.
"Huh… just right… I look like Mr. Peter!" I said, referring to our old drama teacher from Romeo+Juliet.
I realized something.
"Oh snap! I'd better run towards the dorm!" I said as I made a beeline for the dorm.
As I ran all the way to the dorm…
"Oh Yukari! It won't be lo-o-o-ong now!" I said as I ran with all my strength.
As I arrived to the dorm, I was utterly surprised when I saw the sign:
"For Sale: If you're interested, please call Junpei Iori; Real estate agent."
"Wh-what the fuck?" I yelled as people looked at me.
"What're you assholes looking at?" I said with blistering anger.
Then I see a poster that read:

I fell to my knees.
I shout really loud:
"MARGARET! How long have I been asleep?" I said as I sobbed.
