Chapter 2

Seto P.O.V

I woke up to a lot of whispering voices around me. I sat up to look around. My hand slept in under the pillow, and there I felt, the letter was still there, it was not a dream.
I sensed on the other awakened boys that something had happened. I stood up and walked out the door.
People seemed to be in panic. I wondered what had happened, as I walked down the hallway and out to the breakfast table, in the big room behind the scene. Kido was not here yet, so I just started without her.
When Kido came and sat down, she was smiling at me, she is not the smiley person. Everything was weird this morning.
"Good morning" I said.
"Morning" she answered, as she took some breakfast.
"So I have some good news for you Seto" she continued, as the bread landed on her plate.
"What is that?" I asked. I didn't expect really good news in the morning.
"Have you heard of what happened to Shintaro last night?" she started out asking, instead of telling me the good news.
But I was confused, and I hadn't heard anything.
"No what happened?"
"Some strange guy knocked him down with a candlestick" I saw the smile on her face didn't fade, in fact it became a little wider, she thought it was funny.
"Oh god, is he okay?"
"yeah, he just have a great headache, and doesn't want to play tonight"
"oh, that's good. Then who are going to play his role?" I asked, in concern that the play might have been cancelled.
"That is the good news" she held a pause "you are going to play it"
"really?" I couldn't believe it, me? I felt a smile sneaking onto my lips.
"Yeah. I talked to the director, and I told him that you knew all the lines, and hit the notes pretty good in all the songs"
"Thank you Kido!" I said, maybe a little louder than I should "I don't deserve that role, but I'm really glad"
"I knew you would be" she smiled.
We kept on talking until our breakfast was eaten. Then we walked out to our final rehearsal before the big night. It went really well.

All day, everyone kept talking about these ghosts that were to be haunting the theater now. They all believed that the guy that knocked out Shintaro was some kind of phantom. I don't know what I believe, but a ghost sounds a little silly. Even though there was a message with Shintaro, that we should leave a seat empty for someone. Maybe I could see this ghost from the scene. Maybe.

The door opened and I saw the people flooding in, from behind the curtain. I had never been so nervous before. I saw the crowd through to find Mary and the "ghost" but I didn't see them before I was pulled away, to get ready for first act.

After the play everyone was clapping, even the director, the last song with Momo, had apparently been really good. I was only happy about that. We had been bowing a lot and I couldn't stop smiling. Even though the male role is never the greatest role at all, people kept complimenting me. It was a feeling I had never felt before. Kido greeted me behind the scene, she seemed happy too.
"You were good" she said, like she always did.
"Thank you" I answered with a really big smile.
"Mary is here" she then said "she recognized you when you sang. And she really wants to meet you again" she pointed in a direction. I couldn't see her for all the people. But she was there.
I looked to Kido and said; "Okay, I will go see her then" I walked towards her, and smiled when I finally saw her. It was always so nice to see an old friend.
"Seto! I haven't seen you in such a long time!" she had an extremely big smile on her face.
"It has been like a lifetime" I smiled too.
"Almost! We haven't seen each other since we were kids" She laughed a bit before she continued; "do you remember, we always were trying to catch the animals in your dad's garden?" She asked with a great smile, and glittering eyes, this was clearly a precious memory for her.
We stood there talking about back then for a while.

Someone's P.O.V

The play was really good with him in it, I thought as I sneaked around in the top of the scene, where the light and the ropes were driven. No one was there so I could get around without anyone finding me. I was on my way out in the back, to find him. I kind of wanted to see him and congratulate him.
I looked down between the tiny boards there was to walk on up there.
I froze when I saw him. He was talking to a girl, and laughing. Not a girl like Kido, no this one seemed so interested in him, in the romantic way. I saw them laughing. Why was he even talking to her? He was so much better than her. But I know he didn't think that way about himself.
I looked at them for a little while. Until they seemed to part.
I climbed to a little door and got down on the same level as they were. I snuck into the men's sleeping hall, hiding behind the curtain, even though there was no one. I couldn't risk anything.
He stepped inside the sleeping hall. The tall main actor. He kind of reminded me of a giant frog, I don't know why, maybe because he was always wearing green.
He walked towards me, had he seen me? No his bed was here, by the window.
He sat down on the bed. I couldn't see his face, but I was pretty sure that he was smiling. Now was the time.
"Seto" said, what else should I say?
He turned fast, and looked at me. I saw his eyes widen.
"Who are you?" He asked. So he didn't remember me. Somehow it hurt me a bit. But I should just have to remind him.
"Don't you remember me?" I tried to look hurt.
"Eh? Eh?" I saw him getting really worried for hurting me, oh it was so cute. He stood up and looked closer to me. But I wore a mask.
"w-well maybe if you take off your mask?" he asked.
"No." I just said. He shouldn't see my scars.
"I mean, you should remember my mask, it's so characteristic" He followed up with.
"Ohh, you were the one giving me that letter? Your mask is on it" He smiled.
But he really didn't remember.
"Yeah I was. But isn't there more" I looked hurt again, maybe I was.
"Ahh, I really sorry, but I don't recall you in my memory" He seemed so worried now.
I sighed.
"Maybe if I show you something, you will remember" I suggest.
"Ehhh" He looked behind him out the door, and the back at me "I guess I have time, but not for long, we have a show again tomorrow"
yes yes yes yes! He agreed to come with me.
"Great!" I grabbed his arm without thinking about it, and walked to the little hatch I got through.
We had a long way till my place than he properly would think. But he surely would remember after this.


So did I make him too jealous? I don't really know myself .
Please tell me what you think to help me c:
