[CHAPTER 2] — WHAT HAPPENED?!

The air of December gives a refreshing breeze for his overheating head due to extreme studying. He walked down this pedestrian path while reading his notes. His eyes sometime look up to see where he is going but most of the time, is glued to the notes. The chilly breeze makes him tighten his scarf. His cream colored coat seems too big for him but it only gives more cozy feels. Notes on one hand and grocery on the other. Seems like he is doing chores while keep studying, truly a sight of diligent child.

This time of year supposed to be a festive month but it can't be said the same with Lune, who in several days will have his mid-semester exam. He must maintain his position as the highest score in class in every subjects due to a certain reason, being an otaku an all. Yes, he is a closet otaku. Only his parents know this kind of obsession and disagree with it. Lune is using his rank in school as a warrant for his hobby. As long as he is the first then his collections stay. As pathetic as it is, it gives Lune an ambition to achieve something in his school life. That being said, he is also not a take-it-as-it-is otaku. He likes studying and researching. Every time there was something interesting and new mentioned in the show, he would search for more information. This really helps him with his school subjects. Ah…his fifteen years old life is full of deception. Such a sad way to live. If he was other people, he would have thought the same but for Lune this type of situation is more comfortable.

Lune stops at green traffic light waiting for it to be red while his eyes still glued to the notes. The traffic around this area is quiet, there are only one or two vehicles at every green light. There are several people besides Lune who wait for the traffic light to change too. Lune sometimes steal glances to the traffic light waiting for it to change light. He really want to go home, relaxing inside his sanctuary a.k.a his otaku room. His mind begins to wander when suddenly he saw a child in the middle of the street and is that a tail?!

The child just leisurely strolling, going towards Lune's side of street. Lune didn't sure about the child gender since everything is still undeveloped. The child is probably no more than 10 years old, with short hair and in unisex outfit, no accessories whatsoever. What makes Lune notice the child the first time is not because of the tail, but because the color of his/her hair…it is ginger. Which is strange considering in this certain type of rural area, foreigner is rare and black hair is the most common color in his country. So, this child really attract anyone attention. Speaking of, why hasn't anyone drag the kid out of the street? Where is the parents? He saw the tail wags as if it was real. The tail is also the same color as the kid's hair and so full of fur that they makes it so fluffy. It must be nice to touch. Lune thought comes to a halt when he hears a screech sound. Sure enough, it comes from a sport car in full speed.

There is always one or two people like that in this neighborhood, since the street is always somewhat empty, they occasionally hold a racing competition whether it is day or night, ignorant of what others thinking. Lune has gotten use to studying with those racing sounds as his BGM. The car is still a far so Lune predicts the child will have time to move aside, even if that wasn't the case, the car still has time to stop. What he didn't predict was the child just stop there, in the middle of the street, looking at the car that comes toward him/her at full speed. The car didn't even show any sign of slowing down. Bewildered, Lune doesn't hesitate to shout, while his thought having so many questions, like how other people beside him just stood there as if nothing will happen.

"HEY!! MOVE AWAY! DIDN'T YOU SEE THE CAR?!?!" Lune shouted with all his fright. The road is not wide, only two cars can fit at a time, so his voice comes out really loud and shocked his surroundings, even the child.

The child looked even more shocked. "You can see me?"

'What?! Of course I can see you! There's no way no one can't notice you when you cosplay with that big fluffy tail!' Lune really want to pet it. Watching the child still standing there unmoving, his eyes darts between the child and the fast car. He saw everyone were staring at him as if he was the one losing his mind. He quickly calculate the distance of the car and whether he can drag the child away before anything happen.

There are saying 'It is not because of a big rock that make you fall, you fall because of a small pebble'

Lune rushed forward ready to drag the child but before his hand can reached the child's, he tripped. Yes…he tripped! Such crucial moment and he couldn't quickly grab his footing and when he brought himself up, it was too late. Lune, 15 years old, died in car accident.
