Author's Note
Hi!
My note is up here to tell you about what'll happen in the next little bit. The point of view (POV) is going to go temporarily back to Eagleton, where the accident that turned Robert the boy into Baku the Haibane occurred. The viewpoint will return to Old Home halfway through. Bold indicates Eagleton POV. Note: I don't own Haibane Renmei, BBC, or DeviantArt
Enjoy!

Barbara hated life as it is. She would never have imagined how desolate she would feel when half the class left. Grant refused to even speak, Sam stopped playing guitar, Andrea stopped teaching piano, Nikki withdrew her membership from DeviantArt (NOT AN ADVERTISEMENT), Nancy's hair lost its lustre, Mr. Proust stopped watching BBC (ALSO NOT AN ADVERTISEMENT), Marco quit his soccer team, Alice let her grades drop below 30 (a "C"). Barbara herself stopped writing fanfics (much like this one). They had found Nancy's suicide note yesterday. She wished she was dead too. She stared at the picture of the CN Tower in her geography textbook, for a long time. Something in her mind clicked. She had an idea.
Baku hated life as it is. He had longed for Rakka to be his. He thought to himself, If she can't be mine…SHE CAN'T BE ANYBODY'S! He swung himself out of bed, grabbed a knife from the kitchen, and opened his door soundlessly. He crept into the hallway, he avoided the creaky floor board near Kuu's room, and he kept going. He had an idea.
