So, really short chapter, but fear not! For as a generous creator, I have put given thee two more! This chapter's duration includes parts with lots of Juno, I felt it wasn't prudent to create an entire rendition of the anime, so if you really wanted to see the scene, go watch it.
My mind was foggy as we got back to the school… I couldn't get what the big old panda got in my head… are the instincts I got when I woke up in this body… really affecting me? I… I can't tell.
I- I'm outside Haru's clubhouse… and Louis is here, giving me that cold stare… crap… did I, unconsciously walk here? You weren't supposed to come here Legosi!
"Hey." his cold voice spoke out.
"Hey..." this got awkward… "so… what are you doing here?"
"It happens to be an upperclassmen's duty to check on the school's club member's health." right… he was sleeping with her… why did that, cause me to dislike Louis a bit..?
"Ah… right, well, is Haru in..?" crap. Abort! This is not an avenue you need to take!
"No. she isn't." Liar. "did you need something?"
"No… just wanted to say hi..." I… I should go. Already I was walking away and quickly down the steps. Did… did I just ruin my own plans?
The next morning came… I know I'm supposed to be nice to Juno… but I just didn't feel it. My mask… it's cracking. Almost irreparably.. it was a bother to get through club… and when I got back to the dorm…
"hey, I bumped into a porcupine, I think I got stabbed by a quill in my leg… want to see it?" Jack was the only one in the room, holding something behind him, oh. Oh, I guess I didn't hide it well enough. I'm… going to nip this in the bud.
"Jack." he looked startled at my voice. I had dropped my mask, if only for a second, catching it before it hit the ground. "there's a good explanation."
And so I told him about Haru, about how the magazine was supposed to help reconcile his feelings for the female rabbit.
"It's not love." I told him with finality, it couldn't be. Love is wanting to keep someone close to you, their wants before yours. It isn't what I'm feeling. What she and Louis have… That's love. And I'm going to make sure it lasts…
It was two weeks to the Festival, I… couldn't actually resist helping Haru when she asked for it. I was thankfully painting the dinosaur when Louis visited Haru. I accidentally broke some paints. I… walked her home that day. Her eyes were brighter that day… since I knew how to actually go through the subway… we got on time and… I couldn't give the speech the original might have given… because I could understand… giving myself away… for the greater good. Our reasons and methods might be different… but we both wanted control… we wanted to control our own lives… so I couldn't speak.
Do you still feel like you're close to dying Haru? Because… I feel that in a world like this… I could disappear at any time…
we still had a chat on the train though… it was, relaxing.
The blackout… went exactly as predicted… but why… why did It hurt when she called our Louis's name… why does it hurt… knowing I can't stop the Shishigumi right here and now?
For the past several weeks… I had been placing a flower upon Tem's memorial so I could catch when Louis places flowers… The Jaguar arrived… and just like a good hound, I protected Louis. He couldn't be harmed.
He needed to save Haru...
