…the Prince purified the Raven's heart. The pure Raven told her true feelings towards him, and he had felt the same way. A few days later, their marriage announced to all of kingdom entire world, announced that the happiness had came back.

Fin
A boy walks calmly in dark red corridor, the boy's room corridor. Light of morning shines his silver hair. He is busy reading two pieces of paper, compares them.
I can't believe it. Her story is much better than Fakir's, although her plot is faster and a little bit strange. Fakir's is more tragic, but her is more…what I can say, happy ending and hopeful. Someone that can be his opponent just…
I still with my own mind till I hear the bell rings. I have reached the dark brown mahogany door. My class. I enter it and found all my friends still doing their own business. Throwing papers, playing their smart phones, cheating Autor's homework, girls talk each other…I conclude that Miss Loyard hasn't enter class again in this week. Hey, our class is not enough different with Economic Class without a teacher.
There, at the corner seat near the window, he is writing in his big large thick green book as fast as light, with his frustrations face. As usual…
I wag the papers in front of him, success making his hand stops and he looks up to the paper. With surprised face, he takes and read them before looks to me.
Finally smile appears on his face, throw all the stress. "Thanks, pal, you save my life again…But I wonder whether how you can always find what I look for?"
I just smile and rise one of my eyebrow, "Always, huh? You are lucky because it's not me that found it."
He narrows his eyes, "You were the first and last person that read it…"
"Nop, there is a girl from Economic Class that wanted me to give it to her friend…"
He becomes silent and suddenly mutters, "Ahiru…"
I lean at the wall behind him, "So…Is she the girl you always tell me? She's match with your description."
Fakir just smiles, "You know the answer." And starts to write again.
"Ah…one thing, you must read "her ending" before you continue your writing. She's better than you."
His pen stops dancing. His eyes widen and he hurry checks the papers. I swear I finally find fear appears on his face, although it's erased by his stoic face a few seconds later. It's interesting.
I walk to in front of his table slowly, "The Prince got his heart again and battle with the Raven. But, he was trapped and almost died. The Knight sacrificed himself to awake Princess Tutu again and she sacrificed herself to the Prince…"
Fakir looks up to Mytho, narrows his eyes.
I continue, "And finally Kingdom of Heart freed from the curse…"
He keeps silent, and immediately bow his head, write again, this time faster.
"You know which ending I told you? Oh, must I say, Half- Ending?"
"It's Half-Blood's : Kingdom of Heart." He answers.
"And I think the writer is foolish."
My statement stops his activities. A few minutes later, the only sound come from other students make messy around the class, throwing paper ball, stuff like that.
"What do you want?", He finally opens his mouth, stares at me with his anger eyes.
"Calm down, pal. I just tell my opinions."
"I know where it goes…"
We stare each other. It's enough fast that he can conclude what I want.
I sigh, "Ok…Let's go to the point. I wonder whether what is your relationship with Mr. Drosellmeyer?
"I have told you about that."
"He is more than your step-father. In my eyes, he controls you, like a boss… No, a master to his slave"
He leans on his plastic chair, remains calm. "I write because he and myself wants to. There is no compulsion."
"Then, you just write on books or papers from him. Even you refused my book only to write a simple letter."
"I just like write on his paper. More soft and cheap. And it helps me collect my work."
"What about you that must go outside just for writing? And you know, I did and observation. Your style is as same as Half-Blood."
"It's normal in writing world. I like his style, so I try follow him, but I'm not a plagiator"
He can't lose debate with me. But, I've prepared the bomb.
"Ok,ok…You always answer the same like what I ask three years ago. Back to the girl. What's her name? Ah…Ahiru…What just I want to ask about her…" I act like I forget the question, play my fingers.
I see he changes his position. Worry in his green eyes.
"She is just a strange girl playing at the city park."
"You always meet her when you write outside there. You never try to contact with her. And interesting fact that what I can say from my observation : Every protagonist female in your story related to her."
He doesn't blush as I expect, but he seems worry.
"In my full observation : You collect Kinkan's people biography and copy it become a story. What is YOUR plan? Why you keep it secret from us?!" At the last sentence, I push his table too hard, making every single life in the class looks at us.
He takes a breath and easily answer," You won't get the answers, Mytho. You all won't understand."
He takes his book, walks to the door.
Reach the door, he turn around. All of stress was in his face change into a smile, "Easy, guys. Continue your activities. It's just some friend-talking."
Then, he leaves me. Alright, that's good enough.
I open my smart phone, call my best agent.
"Hello. Rum, The Raven has move fast from our expectation. Go to plan C."
We must move faster.
In the other room, a girl with raven black hair close her phone, watching Ahiru plays the piano.
"Must she…again?" she mutters sadly.
