Author POV:
Few weeks had passed. Nene was getting restless. Hanako still wouldn't see her and nothing she did (leaving notes in his bathroom cubicle, making bento boxes for him, cleaning the toliets, getting the mokke to deliver a heartfelt letter to him, etc cetera) would change that.
Every night sleeping on the bottom bunk of Aoi's bunk bed, Nene stared at Sakura's potion. The green liquid seemed to glow an eerie apple green in the dark and it looked every bit a poisonous death trap. But Nene couldn't help but imagine if the potion was what she said it was. It would fix everything. Make everything right again.
Could she risk the potion not being what Sakura claimed it to be for the greater outcome she couldn't achieve in any other way?
It's hopeless, Nene sulked as she lay in bed, staring up at the bottom of Aoi's bunk, Everything's utterly, completely HOPELESS. What am I even doing here? I've left Mom on read at least fifty times now and I've been sending Dad to voicemail over two dozen times. It's time I went back.
Or maybe it's time I did something more.
The potion was her only shot now. The only path she could take. If she didn't risk it, she might end up stuck in the same spot forever.
In her mind, she was still debating with the logical part of herself, but in her heart, Nene'd already decided.
Next day
Nene POV:
I needed to find the perfect moment.
The crystal bottle stashed in my pocket, my outfit a heavy apple-green wool sweater and camouflage-patterned trousers that I'd borrowed from Aoi to help me blend into the greenery, I crept into the bush, keeping my eyes trained on Hanako.
He was speaking with Kou, and I waited patiently until Kou walked away. Hanako was left standing there in the vegetable gardens and before he could float away, I leapt out of the greenery and pounced, all the meanwhile whipping the potion bottle out of my pocket, uncorking it and dumping it wherever I could see Hanako's blurry figure.
But, ghost he was, his reflexes were excellent and I was unprepared. He lept back in one neat hop and the green slime pouring out of the crystal bottle didn't touch him. Instead, I found myself slipping into the green cloud, my face falling through the thick liquid.
Within moments my nose hit the ground and I groaned pitifully. Everything had gone to hell. My last path, blocked by a BOULDER.
I slowly pulled myself up, grateful to feel there wasn't any blood. I stared at the empty bottle in my hand; all the green stuff seemed to have vanished into thin air.
Huh. How curious.
Hanako POV:
I stared at the girl sprawled on the floor in front of me.
She'd pounced at me, but I'd jumped back in time. I wonder why she did that?
The girl in front of me, I didn't recognise. She had short, curly ginger hair and a dusting of freckles over her button nose. Her green doe eyes seemed so big and innocent, courtsey of her thick eyelashes. The girl wore a white tank top and beige cargo pants, the yellowy colour now splattered with dirt.
"Hello." I knew there was a slim chance she would hear me, assuming she was a normal human, but I had to try anyway. So long it had been since I'd talked to anyone apart from Kou. "I'm sorry I didn't catch you. Are you okay?"
Nene POV:
I stared at Hanako, who was offering his hand to me. What? I thought he hated me.
Hmm. Maybe something had changed. "I'm okay. Thanks, Hanako." I took his hand and he helped me to my feet, but something in his eyes had changed.
"How do you know my name? How can you see me? Who are you?" Hanako frowned.
"What? What do you mean?" I laughed nervously. Was this some kind of joke? "I'm Yashiro Nene. Of course I can see you. What are you on about, Hanako?"
"What? How do you know Yashiro? You're not her." Hanako glared suspiciously at me. "Look at you. You look nothing like her. How can you think...?"
"What?" I took a small pocket mirror Aoi had gifted me out of my pocket and flipped it open.
I gasped.
My reflection wasn't mine.
