July 16, 2020
About 6 months since Hikaru had went missing for a week in Mount Nisayama and came back.
But was this Hikaru really the Hikaru you'd spent so long getting to know and love?
You weren't sure anymore.
Ever since Hikaru came back, more weird incidents and deaths have been happening. More quiet whispers of Nonuki.
Just last week Ms. Matsuura, a crazy old lady in Kubitachi village, had died. Most people brushed it off, but you knew it had to be connected to the arrival of this new Hikaru.
Impurities.
Your parents had told you stories about those things. They were entities similar to ghosts or spirits of people who have died. They collect in places where humans live, although they typically don't show themselves to most humans.
This Hikaru seemed to be attracting them like a lightning rod attracting lightning.
"Oi! Guest!"
A voice interrupted your spiraling thoughts. Right. You were still in school, talking to your friends.
"We've been calling your for 5 minutes now!"
He crossed his arms, looking at you with confusion. Why have you been zoning out so much lately?
Your other friends looked on in curiosity.
"Are you okay, Guest? Youve been really dazed and quiet lately."
Yuuki was standing on your right side with Asako beside her. Maki was standing infront of your table and Hikaru and Yoshiki was standing on the left side.
"Did you even hear what we were talking about just now? Maki's normal route to go home has been closed off and he's scared to go through the forest close to Mount Nisayama, so we were thinking about going with him."
She said with friendly concern
"Wh- Hey!! I'm not scared! I just.. feel its better we go together! There's some weird stuff going on in that place, I'm telling you!"
Maki blushed in embarrassment, trying to hide the fact that he was scared.
"That sounds fun! I wanna come too!"
Hikaru said excitedly
There it was again. Those odd remarks. Hikaru hated scary stuff.. so why would he suddenly be excited to go into some creepy forest?
"I thought you hated scary stuff, Hikaru?"
Asako raised a confused eyebrow
"Yeah, last time we watched a scary movie, you passed out for two hours straight."
Weird.
"Maybe he's finally deciding not to be a wuss."
The dark haired boy finally spoke up, ruffling his best friend's hair.
In that exact moment, the both of them looked over at you.
And that's when every theory of yours was confirmed
Yoshiki looked like he was aware. Aware that tjis Hikaru wasn't that actually Hikaru. That he was aware that the real Hikaru was dead and this one was some sort of entity.
Hikaru looked at you, a barely noticeable red glow in the center of his pupil made him look unhuman. He clearly didn't want you to know who he really was but before he could do anything, Yoshiki, let go of his hair, a silent signal to stop.
