The next morning, everyone (except Iwasawa) was gathered in Headquarters.

Yuri sat at her desk, with her feet popped up, as she tapped the end of a pen against the desk. Yui was the first one to speak up. She had a soft tone in her voice, "The rumor about Iwasawa...is it true?"

Everyone else besides Yuri and Hisako looked around to one another, seeing if they heard of this so called rumor and what is was about.

Yuri sighed and turned to Hisako. Since Iwasawa was most precious to Hisako, Yuri wanted to make sure that Hisako knew before she told any of them.
"Are you okay with it?" asked Yuri. Hisako nodded, hoping someone might know about an illness like this if Yuri told everyone what happened.

About seven minutes went by of the story that Hisako told Yuri. Matsushita stood up from his seat, "You don't think that she died of becoming insane, do you?"

Yuri shifted in her seat, "Personally, I think not. It might be easily put that she could've been murdered and could hear music playing in the background as she died and what not. Anything could have possibly happened when she died, but her not being able to uncover her memories is strange. She'd have to have a head injury of some sort like Otonashi and the old Iwasawa. I just can't put what the music is about though..."

A few moments of silence came by, but was disturbed by Yuri, who rose from her desk and stood in front of everyone with her arms crossed.

Yuri said, "Alright, everyone. I know that this is a very unusual time for us, but Hisako and I will keep a good eye on Iwasawa through these monitors. For now, she's still unconscious, and that is the best that we can hope for now. The rest of you can head to your classes."

As everyone walked out, Sekine, Yui, and Irie stayed behind. With sad faces and tears in their eyes, they pleaded at Yuri and Hisako. Sekine spoke, "P-Please keep us informed about how she's doing. She may be different from the old Iwasawa, but she's still OUR Iwasawa, and we want to know when she'll be fine again." The three girls nodded and ran out of the room to catch up with the rest of the group.

"They're a good group of girls, Hisako. They're really kind-hearted," said Yuri, as Hisako smiled back at her and nodded.

Yuri waited for a few moments, and then closed the door and locked it. Pulling up the live camera monitors from the cell, Hisako looked out the window.

For a few seconds, the monitor just fuzzed and tried to gain contrast, and then it finally did.
The live feed didn't show to be anything new. Iwasawa seemed to be awake on the cell bed, but wasn't moving very much, and continued to close her eyes to try and get rest. She seemed like she was back to her old self.

Yuri turned to Hisako, "You can head on to class. I can watch Iwasawa now. I'll make sure she won't cause trouble." Yuri winked at Hisako at the end of her sentence. Hisako smiled and walked out of the room. Though, Hisako didn't head to class. She headed for the dorms.

"Maybe I'll just get a few extra hours of sleep," said Hisako to herself, as she continued heading to the dorms.

On the way there, Hisako noticed a mysterious girl walking her way in the hallway. She wore a black and white uniform with pink hair, and a masquerade mask. Hisako tried not make eye contact, and continue past her, but the girl bumped into her shoulder roughly.

"I'm sorry. Please forgive me," the girl said, who bowed in respect. Hisako really didn't care and accepted her apology anyway, and let the girl continue down the hallway as Hisako did the same with herself.

"What a strange girl," thought Hisako.

Otonashi, Hinata, Shiina, and Ōyama sat together during lunch in the cafeteria. They were still clearly worried about Iwasawa.

"Look, what if changes when she receives all of her memories?" asked Otonashi.

"Change, like in how?" replied Hinata.

"I mean, what if she becomes insane after this? Wasn't there some people that were so upset by what happened to them earlier in life, that they just completely changed?" asked Otonashi.

Shiina replied, "I can't say that I have. But it might be possible. Iwasawa could've been insane before she died, and it's highly possible that it might occur here."

At this time, they all just decided to eat in silence, since it was lunch time, and try to take things off of their minds. It was beautiful outside. It wasn't too warm and the wind was blowing cool air. Otonashi stared outside from a few moments until Shiina got their attention.

Shiina immediately pulled out a bento full of sushi, vegetables and some rice balls.

Everyone stared at her. The sushi were shaped like puppies. Shiina stared back with a death glance. "Is there something wrong with it?" asked Shiina with a low voice like she was almost about to kill you.

Ōyama replied, "N-No, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. It's just cute. That's all..."

Otonashi then took out two bentos of his own and gave one to Hinata. "Here's the bento you wanted me to make for you this morning, even though I can't cook well," said Otonashi.

Hinata didn't hear a word Otonashi was saying and pulled the lid off of it to find grilled fish, tamagoyaki, some boiled carrots, cherry tomatoes, and Onigiri balls wrapped in seaweed.

"You better take back what you said! This looks delicious, Otonashi. Thank you for the food!" said Hinata, as he immediately stared eating the food.

"Well, I'm glad you like it. I used to make food for Hatsune when she was sick. Her favorite was my Onigiri balls shaped like bunnies. She also liked my Takoyaki I made, and would always ask me to bring her a chocolate Taiyaki when I'd stop by a convience store," said Otonashi, whose face was practically blushing when he spoke of his little sister.

Ōyama replied, "You look so happy when you talk of your sister, Otonashi. You look like a girl whose just fallen for a guy"

"R-Really? I can't say that I'd look like tha—Hinata! Stop stealing my peaches, you thief!" said Otonashi, as he pulled his bento box away from Hinata.

"Please? I'm still hungry!" sweetly asked Hinata, whose puppy dog eyes even made Shiina turn away in cuteness.

"No! You should've ate slower! But if you're hungry, then don't go for my deserts," declined Otonashi, as he sat back and ate his grilled sausages while Hinata still stared at him with sad eyes.

"Otonashi..."

"What is it?" asked Otonashi as he turned toward Hinata.

Hinata had pulled Otonashi closer to him and kissed him in front of everyone, which made Ōyama turn and look away. Shiina, on the other hand, kept eating her Onigiri balls and watching the show in front of her. When Hinata had let go, Otonashi's face was bright red, and speechless.

"So...can I have some of your peaches now?"

Yuri later that day had decided to go and pay Iwasawa a visit since Iwasawa had no clue why she was placed in a cell to begin with.

When Yuri entered the cell, she was greeted by a hug from Iwasawa. "Yuri! I'm so glad you came! I'm sorry about what happened last night. I don't know what got into me."

Yuri pushed Iwasawa away, "Was it because of your memories?"

"Yeah, I guess. There wasn't much I remembered of them. I only remember hearing music, and I was in a room that was white. I couldn't see much in the room, because it was blurry. But the music was intensely loud, and very high pitched. It made my ears feel like they were bleeding. I-I could also hear voices telling me that I should kill myself. "Kill yourself, before everyone else kills you instead," the voice said. It was female voice, but she had a name. She told me her name, but I can't remember it."

Yuri stood unsure of anything Iwasawa said, but it was possible that this was her back story.

"Maybe the voice that was telling you to kill yourself was a person inside the room with you," suggested Yuri. Iwasawa shook her head.

"I don't remember. The room was very blurry. Though I'm scared that these memories will back again, and I don't want them to. But I remembered one more thing," said Iwasawa with a distraught look on her face.

Yuri asked, "And what is that?"

"I was playing a game when all of this was happening..."

"A game? Like what kind of game?" asked Yuri.

"I don't know! The room was blurry. I couldn't see anything. I just remember that. I don't remember anything else. Could we stop talking about this? It's giving me a headache," said Iwasawa.

"Sure, but you know that these small pinpoints of memories aren't going to stop until you receive every single piece of it, right?" asked Yuri, which Iwasawa wasn't very fond with.

Iwasawa sighed, "This is terrible! I don't want to remember anymore! I can't! These memories scare m—"

Yuri took ahold of Iwasawa's shoulders, "Iwasawa! Stop! You can't change what has already been done. You will have to deal with the memories. You have to stand up against them, or you cannot keep moving forward."

Yuri's serious eyes made Iwasawa turn away. Iwasawa said, "Alright, I understand. Hopefully they can just all come at once and get it over with."

Yuri released her grip, and turned towards the door, "For now, as long as you are still remembering your memories, I cannot allow you out of this cell for any reasons. You are a danger to my team."

"That's fine. But sometime or another, can I see Hisako? I need to speak and apologize to her," asked Iwasawa.

Yuri pushed the heavy metal door open, "We'll have to see. For now, we're tracking this messenger that sent Shizuka and Silver here. Hisako will keep watch on you while we're gone. But, who knows. Stuff may change. Well, goodnight."

"Goodnight."

{Iwasawa's P.O.V}

What Yuri told me has been upsetting. I can't think straight with these sudden memories floating around in my head. It's not like I can keep myself occupied. There is nothing here besides what a normal prison cell looks like.

I sighed and leaned my head against the wall, staring up at the ceiling. It got lonely that I started humming to myself. I don't know what song I was humming, I was just bored out of my mind, so what else was I suppose to do? Twiddle my thumbs?

Memories, could you please come and get this over with? Please? I want to know, but I don't.

A flash of white appeared before my eyes, and then disappeared just as quickly as it came.

"What?" I asked to myself, and looked around the room. I didn't see anything that could easily move without ease.

"Am I remembering something?" I asked to myself. I close my eyes and tried to remember. A little piece of memory would mean a lot to me.
I focused harder, and then I began seeing an image.
I was in the same white room, but it much more clearer.
There...there was something in my hands, but I couldn't see it from where I was looking.

There was a girl beside me too. That was who I was looking at. She looked about my age, about 15. She had the whitest of hair, deep blue eyes, and a light blue dress with ribbon laces around her ankles. She was barefoot too. She was playing with a rabbit doll, and she seemed to enjoy playing with it.

"It's not fun being lonely, is it?" she said while smiling towards me.

My past self shook their head. The girl turned back towards the doll she was holding, smiling at it too.

"That's alright. You have me, Masami. I won't ever leave your side. When you're alone like this, just think of me, and I promise that you won't feel scared or lonley anymore. Even if the doctors don't like me, I'll still be here, okay?" She said, grabbing ahold of my hand and placing it in hers.

"Thank you, Hidari. You'll be there for me, right?" My past self asked.

"Always," the girl said.

The rest of my memories ended here. It was like someone was controlling what memories I saw and what not.

"Hidari..." I said to myself, trying to remember who that was. I couldn't remember. My head was already pounding non-stop. Nothing would come to my head. I hate how I can't remember. I sat there, not knowing how much time has passed or if any passed at all.

I felt something touch my shoulder lightly, but I froze, since I was alone in this cell of mine.

I turned my head, and sitting on the bed was that girl from my memories, staring straight at me with a smile across her face.

I screamed at the sight of her, and moved away into the corner farest from her as she found this amusing. When she hopped off the bed, she floated in mid-air towards me, which made back into the corner even more.

"P-Please do-don't hurt me..." I cried, closing my eyes, as I scrunched into a ball, and tried to pretend that this was all a dream. When I opened my eyes, she was crouching down in front of me.

She talked to me, "Don't be afraid of me. I won't...hurt you." She touched my head with her hand.

"You're not real...none of this is real. This is all just a dream that turned into a nightmare. My memories can't appear out here," I said, closing my eyes back, and telling myself this over and over again.
"You don't remember who I am? I'm Hidari! I was the girl that would sit with you and talk with you at the psychiatric hospital," said Hidari, but I looked up at her with confused and terrified eyes.

"W-what did you s-say? A psychiatric hospital was where I was?" I asked frighteningly, even though she nodded with a smile.

Another memory flashed inside my head with bright light until I could see the images.

I could now remember where I was and the whole building looked familiar. I remembered what room was sitting in now. I was sitting back in my room again. Hidari and another girl beside her were on my bed, sitting where they did usually.

A familiar nurse walked in. She said, "Masami Iwasawa, Ichijou-Sensei will now see you." And with that, the doctor stepped in.

"How are you feeling?"
"Good. Same as always."
"Have you noticed any changes lately?"
"No. They're still there."
"Who is 'they'?"
"Hidari and Alice. They're sitting on the bed behind me."
"Masami, there is no one there. All I see are the wall and your bed. I don't see anything else."

I turned and looked to see if what he was saying was true, but Hidari and Alice were still sitting there. Hidari was smiling at me too.

"You're wrong, Sensei. They're still there."

"Masami, you're sick. You may see two girls sitting there, but really, they're not there. Do you get why you're here?" He asked. I really shook my head no, but I was afraid that this wasn't going to be good. I've only been here for 3 days.

"You have Auditory Hallucination and Schizophrenia, Masami. Normal people don't have these kinds of things. Alice and Hidari aren't real. Your brain just thinks that someone is there, but there's not. Does that make sense?" asked the doctor, as he patted my back. I jerked away from him, and stared at him oddly.

"I'm not stupid, so don't talk to me like I am, Sensei. I'm not sick. I'm not crazy. Just because I see something that you don't, doesn't make me any else different than you!" I shouted. I heard Alice's distorted voice from the bed, "Kill him, Masami. You don't need him, and he's clearly trying to take advantage of you. Do it. Do it now. Before he gets you first."

Frighten by what Alice had told me, I hesitated, but I then grabbed a pair of scissors off one of the tables, and started running at him. I stabbed him in the left thigh really hard. When I pulled out the scissors, blood was on the blade.

When I had realized what I had done, it was already too late,"N-n..no...I didn't do this! This wasn't me! Alice made me! No please!"

Sensei rushed out of the room, as I fell to my knees, sobbing. I didn't have control of what I was doing, and clearly, the girls who won't leave me alone, aren't helping either.

"Alice! Look what you've made me done! How could you?! Why don't you two just go somewhere else and leave me alone! I don't need you! I'm fine by myself!" I shouted, as I could hear multiple shouting from outside my door, and in the hallways.

Alice jumped off the bed, and floated towards me, "Silly girl. We can't leave. We're here for you. We need you, not the other way around. As long as you're here, we won't ever leave!" And with that, she floated back over to Hidari, who wasn't really doing much of anything.

With nothing much else to do, I sat at the locked door and listened to the muffled sounds outside.

"...How did...happen?"
"Iwasawa Masami.."
"Looks...serious. Probably several stitches..."

After that I slid back from the door. This wasn't supposed to be happening. I was suppose to convince them that I was sane. That I wasn't crazy. That I was the normal girl that I used to be. Nothing was going right, and it all because of them...

When I was back to the real world, sitting in my cell, I didn't move. Hidari tapped my head until I looked over at her.

"I-I was a crazy lunatic? I stabbed somebody?! Wait! Why are you the only one here? Where's Alice?" I asked, mostly screaming, because of my unusual memories.

Hidari gave me a straightforward answer with that insane smile that never left her face, "She's not awake yet. She's still inside your body sleeping. It took alot for us to get here, especially since we have to hide carefully inside your body past God-sama's, and 's detections."

"W-Wait, what?! Alice is inside my body!? Why—Wait, you were in there too! That's gross! Get out of my body, Ali—"

The door opened to my cell and in the doorway was Hisako. "Iwasawa, are you alright? I saw this girl in—"

Hisako stopped her sentence when she saw Hidari sitting beside me. Hidari waved to her. "Who is that?!" She asked, closing the door behind her. I was surprised that she didn't ask how she got in here.

Hidari stood up, though she floated in mid-air, and smiled at Hisako, "Nice to meet you, I'm Hidari, and I'm Masami's admirer, and caretaker."

Hisako just looked at me with the weirdest face ever and then back to her, "W-why are you here, and where did you come from?"

Hidari began answering her questions like we were on a quiz bowl or something, "I'm here to take care of Masami. There are many places I came from. I'm from Masami's past, and then I came from Masami's body to get here."

Hisako stared back at me, "I don't believe it, I'm calling Yuri. She'll be excited to see and hear this." Hisako got out her phone and talked to Yuri. She told her about what Hidari said, though I have questions of my own to ask to Hidari.

After Hisako got off the phone, she turned to me, "Guess we'll be here awhile. Yuri is still busy investigating, won't be back for another hour.

Thank goodness. That buys me time on how to explain why Hidari is here, and to ask some questions of my own.


I swear, all of this will eventually make sense! Don't worry guys! :)
