Kokoro // Heart

It is another brand new morning in Eitsuma Middle School. Everyone in Class 3-1 gather in their classroom giving Shinji a big applause welcoming him back to the class. It has been one month after the incident happened, Shinji has finally healed from his injuries, hence he came back to school.

During the lunch break, the five boys gather around Shinji's desk at the corner.

Kaito gives Shinji a huge slap at the back, he yells, "Shinji! You did enjoy your life in the hospital didn't you? Accompanied by so many kawaii nurses!"

Shinji first gives a low grunt as Kaito slapped on his back, he frowns as he still feels hurt all over his body.

Irie clicks his tongue and stares at Kaito, mercilessly he slaps Kaito's hand, "Yamete yo, Kaito!"

Genshiro agrees, "Yeah! Shinji was just discharged! Are you trying to send him back to the hospital?"

There, Tetsu hits Genshiro's head from the back, "Don't say such things!" he warned.

Shinji chuckles, "It's okay guys, I'm fine. I just need time to recover completely."

There, Momo leans closer in a sad face, "Yeah right. You fell off a four-storey building, your bones were all broken." he can't hold back but starts to cry as he recalls the scene, "We thought you're definitely dead..."

Gently, Irie pats on Momo's shoulder, "Don't cry, Momo. It's all over, Shinji is alive. He is all fine here with all of us."

There, Genshiro mentions, "It's a miracle. You aren't supposed to be alive. We saw your body, you're lying on the floor, your body was all twisted, your eyes were so widely opened, you lied in the dried blood, your chest was pierced through, your visceras splattered."

Kaito nods, "Honestly, there's no way you could still be alive. But hora, look at you, back in a perfect body!"

Again, Shinji chuckles, he thought, they have totally no idea what he had been through. They were right, Shinji couldn't be able to come back to life with that fatal injury, but he came back fine. Shinji always thought that all depended on Yuina and everyone in Class 1-1. They saved him.

In the beginning, Shinji urged to know where did the disappearing Class 1-1 went, and all of their mysteries and secrets. Now, he knows them all, and he will never want another adventure like that again. Basketball, he will just play basketball with his friends.

After school, Shinji sits on a bench next to the field taking a rest from the game as his friends continue to play. There, a man sits down next to him, he passes a popsicle to Shinji. It's Wataru. Shinji looks at him with a smile and takes the popsicle.

"I return the commemoration book to Ishiya-sensei for you." Wataru said, "You left it in my bedroom."

Shinji nods, "I was wondering why didn't he mention anything about it when he visited me." he chuckles.

Wataru chuckles too, he then suddenly turns to Shinji, he says, "Thanks for bringing me back."

"You mentioned that every time when you visited me in the hospital." Shinji said, "And I told you, it's Yuina-san who brought us back."

Wataru smiles, "So, how do you feel about being back to school?" he then asked, he licks on his popsicle.

Shinji shrugs his shoulders, "Relief, happy." he said, "And a little scared."

Wataru chuckles, he then asks, "Your friends, they thought you committed suicide, how did you explain?"

Shinji shakes his head, "No, they are being gentle, they did not ask." he said with a chuckle, "I'm not gonna tell them I was pushed off the rooftop by a girl yurei..."

Just as the both of them look up to the rooftop of the Forbidden Building, they see a young girl in Eitsuma Middle School's old seifuku waving at them. She smiles sweetly at them, they can't hear her, but she is singing a ballad softly, the ballad named The Bell Rings on The 14th.

Everyone has left the Forbidden Building, no one will return to Class 1-1 on the 15th of April ever again. Yokoyama Yuina, Tomori Ai, Yukimuro Shizuka-sensei, and the rest of the class, they were all freed from the school. There is only one of them left over haunting the Forbidden Building.

Her name is Tomori Kokoro, she is a student of Class 1-1 in 1996. Now, you know how she killed everyone, but, did you ever wonder, how did she die?
