Hopeless by LeFarFadet reviews
Watch out for the possible spoilers up to 274! This is how I initially imagined Kanae's talk with Kuon could go in 273, and how these events would lead to the special "white day" chapter. It was supposed to be a follow up from chapter 272, but 273 took a different route, so that makes it an alternate version...
