Moca was not expecting to find people at her grave. Sure, it wasn't that late, but still. As she got closer, she was actually happy. It was exactly who she was looking for.
Sayo and Lisa were at her grave together. Moca walked over to them. She wasn't sure what to do. She didn't think there was much she could do.
"Are you going to be here a while?" Sayo asked Lisa.
"Just for a little." Lisa replied.
"It's so weird… knowing she's gone." Sayo whispered.
"Yeah… it's tough… I miss her a lot." Lisa nodded.
"You were close to her, weren't you?" Sayo asked.
"Yeah. I'd say we were pretty good friends." Lisa replied.
"And no one knows what happened to her…" Sayo whispered.
She ran her hand down the carving on Moca's gravestone. Moca realized this could be her chance to do something. She could give Sayo her memories so she knew what had happened. Maybe that could be a starting place?
Moca decided it was good enough. She took a deep breath and linked herself to Sayo. She hoped this would work.
DIVIDER--
Sayo opened her eyes to see herself in an unfamiliar room. She had clue what was going on. She realized she couldn't move. A loud banging started on the door. Sayo couldn't move, but her body jumped up.
The door was busted open. Sayo stared in fear as an unfamiliar person entered the room. They held a knife in their hand.
"Aoba Moca. Your time has come to die."
Sayo realized now what was going on. She was reliving Moca's death. She wasn't sure why and she definitely didn't want to continue this. Unfortunately, she didn't think she was getting out of this early.
"W-what do you mean?" Sayo, well Moca, said.
"See this knife? It's going to be your end." The killer smirked as he charged.
The knife found its way into her right eye. Sayo was overwhelmed by excruciating pain. She couldn't do anything but scream in pain. It hurt so much.
The killer yanked out the knife, taking the eye with it. He shook the eyeball off. Sayo was roughly grabbed. The killer smirked. He teased her with the knife.
"You think that's painful? Just wait. I'll make it even worse." The killer said.
He suddenly rammed the knife down her throat. Sayo couldn't even comprehend the amount of pain she was feeling. It was so bad. Then, he started twisting the knife around, cutting up her throat even more.
Sayo could do nothing but gag. She couldn't do anything. Moments later, her eyes fell shut. It was over.
DIVIDER--
"Sayo? Come on. Wake up!" Sayo came back to reality to find that she was lying on the ground and Lisa was shaking her.
How long did that last?, Sayo wondered.
"Are you alright?"
"What happened?" Sayo asked.
"I don't know. You just blacked out." Lisa replied, "Are you feeling alright?"
"Y-yeah. I'm fine." Sayo reassured her. She wasn't going to say what happened. Would Lisa even believe her?
"Alright. I think we should head home. You should take it easy." Lisa said.
"I'm fine, Imai-san. I promise." Sayo replied.
"Still, let's go back."
The two of them stood up and left the cemetery. Moca followed them. She hoped this was going to work. Now that Sayo knew the truth, maybe things would be easier. At least now she knew what the guy was capable of doing.
Sayo and Lisa soon split and went their own ways. Moca went after Sayo. She was still unsure how to proceed. She didn't know what she could do. Maybe she could manage to move something?
Sayo soon made it to her house and went to her room. Moca decided now was the best time to do it. She took a deep breath and tried to move anything. She succeeded in moving some papers. She could do it then.
Moca wasn't sure what to do next. What could show Sayo what was going to happen to her? Moca looked at her phone. Maybe she could turn it on? Could she gather enough strength to use the phone? It was her best bet.
Moca focused all her energy on turning on Sayo's phone. Sayo looked at it in confusion as it showed no notifications. Moca managed to open it and get to the notes app. If she could just get a few words down, this could work.
"Who's there?" Sayo asked. She was freaked out, as one would expect.
Moca did her best to type on the phone. It was tough and very draining. She didn't know if she could do this for very long.
Moca
"Moca… why are you here?" Sayo accepted the fact. It wasn't like she could blame this on anything else.
Warning
Moca hated that she couldn't manage an entire sentence. She just had to put the most important words down and hope that it got the message across. She sighed when she realized this may turn into a very intense guessing game.
"A warning about what?"
Death
You
Moca hoped that was enough. She couldn't manage to do much more. She was feeling really weak. Why did she have to have energy even as a ghost? Why couldn't she be able to do whatever with no worries?
"What do you mean?" Sayo's tone changed. It held a bit of fear in it, telling Moca she understood some of it.
Killer
You
Next
"I don't understand."
Moca sighed. She knew this would happen. She reached out and touched Sayo. Looks like she had to show her. Moca brought Sayo back to when she had learned about her being the next target.
When Sayo came back, it was obvious she now understood the message. She had a look of fear in her eyes, as Moca expected. Sayo knew if she didn't do something, she would be the next victim. But, she didn't know what she could do.
"Moca, at the cemetery… was that you that… gave me those memories?" Sayo asked quietly.
Yes
"So… the report is wrong. All those wounds happened before you died…" Sayo whispered, "I'm sorry it was so horrible."
Worry
You
"Yeah… I guess I should be more concerned with myself right now." Sayo nodded, "Do you have any ideas?"
Next
Night
Come
Killer
"He's… he's doing it tomorrow night?" Sayo gulped, "Who is he?"
Moca managed to use the rest of her energy to open up Sayo's email. She pulled up the messages sent from the guy. He had emailed Sayo earlier to ask about meeting up to discuss getting a producer.
"Him? So… should I not go?" Sayo asked.
No
Matter
Die
Anyway
"I see… you refused and he still killed you, right? So… I just have to be prepared." Sayo sighed, "This will be tough. Isn't there a way for me to report him?"
"Onee-chan? Who ya talking to?" Hina knocked on the door.
Sayo jumped, "Um… just talking to myself."
"Okay! I was gonna go have a sleepover at Aya's. See ya later!" Hina left.
"Is she in danger?" Sayo asked, "If… he comes here?"
Witness
Yes
"So, if she doesn't see him, he won't care. Alright." Sayo sighed, "Anyway, can I report him?"
No
Tried
No
Work
"I see… he's very sneaky then, isn't he? Looks like I'm on my own, huh? Unless I want to risk anyone else getting hurt…"
Weapon
Keep
"Right. I'll find something." Sayo agreed, "Are you staying or going?"
Check
Friends
Back
Night
Moca wasn't able to manipulate the phone anymore. Her energy had run out. She'd have to wait a while.
"Alright." Sayo said and then she left her room, "See you then."
Moca followed her just to see what she was doing. Sayo was searching for a weapon to keep in her room. Moca was content with that and left to go check on the members of Afterglow.
She had done all she could for Sayo. It was up to her to save herself. Moca hoped she could succeed. She didn't want another to fall victim to him.
