The change to Tsukasa was instantaneous. He became the puppeteer he was meant to be in life. Controlling others lives on his whims, it was euphoric for Tsukasa. It was time for the beginning of the end.
Another kidnapping of one Yashiro Nene.
"Hi!"
"Not again. Why do you want me? I just clean the bathroom."
The childlikeness dropped.
"Its because you are important to Amane. And it will be you who will have nothing to do from this point forward."
A silky string, almost like spider's silk, dropped from the ceiling, slowly descending until settled on Yashiro's head. Then the string descended some more, until it was wrapped around Yashiro's waist.
"You, are now, my puppet."
The fear went out of Yashiro's eyes. She no longer had control over her own movements. She was a puppet to Tsukasas' whims.
"Okay puppet! I want you to march down to Amane and say that this is what is at risk."
Yashiro marched to the third floor bathroom.
"This is what is at risk."
Hanako owlishly blinked.
"Ohh? Is this a prank Yashiro? I can do it too." Hanako proceeded to stand like Yashiro, and attain the same blank stare on his face.
"I don't think it's a prank. Look" Kousei said, pointing at the silky sting tied around Yashiro.
"Yeah, strings arent normal. At least not around here." Kaori said.
"Oh, he's taunting me." Hanako said. "He knows his end is near, so he's going to go out with a bang. This is how he does it. By striking my heart."
Everyone glanced at the knife-wielding ghost. He had admitted it, that he liked Yashiro. That just meant the final battle would be that much more dangerous with more at stake.
Kousei and Kaori glanced at each other.
Love's Sorrow echoed through the halls of Kamome Academy. Showing what was at stake and that relationships would be made after it was all over.
