unfound

"So like I went like 'hey!!' and she likes—" Itoshi words were thin, I was too focused on thinking about the case Itoshi told me about in the boba shop

The name it's, too familiar.

'Ikeda...? I swear I heard that name before...' I think as I look down at my feet, but that got me thinking

'We've been walking without any destination. I wonder where we are' As I thought of that I looked up, we were in an unfamiliar alley

The air suddenly felt cold and a gust of uncomfortableness washed over me.

It feels like

"deja vu..." Itoshi cut my train of thoughts

Itoshi turns his head toward me "Anyway where are we?" he asked

"I... Don't know either. I was spacing out" I answer biting my lips 'How can I be this ignorant?!'

"Well... We should find our way back. It's gonna be dark soon" I suggested, turning my head to Itoshi

[Go there] a faint voice whispered to me. I feel my shoulders getting heavy from hearing that voice. That voice seems so familiar like I've heard it before.

[Go there, Help Kaede.] My finger twitched, and before I knew it my body moved on its own. I ran and I ran

'To where?'

"MR.FUJITA?!" I heard Itoshi shout his voice sounding confused, I wanted to stop but that voice, that voice..!

The wind brushes my eye, and the heaviness on my shoulder loosens up a bit. 'I Have to!—I have to follow the voice!' I seem so sure, why do I have to follow the voice in the first place?

Before I knew it, a figure entered my vision.

It was— 'Kaede..!? That voice led me to him?! And why does it look like he is panicking?' And who is that?

The stranger continued "What if you are the reason? I mean she didn't even tell you why she did it, you even dared to continue your life without feeling guilty what so ever"

"Don't you think that's... Unfair? You take everything from her... You Even her last name..." Huh..? What is this person saying..?

"hah... Hah, y-you ran so fast..! Mr Fujita..!" I heard Hitoshi's ragged voice, it seemed like he was running, following me here

"Be quiet—!" I harshly whispered to him, putting my palm on his mouth

"Am I right? The missing suicide case, Mr.Ikeda?" I saw in the corner of my eye, that Kaede's body was shaking

'That's why that name sounds so familiar!' I think

"DON'T BRING HER TO THIS!!" Kaede's loud voice shocked me, I whipped my head to take a peak.

My vision was greeted by a green aura that appeared to be floating in the air

"What is this..?!" I heard Itoshi's voice, muffled by my palm

"I don't know either.." I answer, tugging Itoshi to hide behind the wall

'he can't see this.'

Kaede stepped closer, and then unexpectedly shadows of illusion bombarded and appeared behind him, the illusion looked uneven and unfined

As if Kaede made them because of anger.

The illusion continues to pour itself out of Kaede's back, one by one dashes toward the stranger

The stranger seems unwavering as if he or she predicted this would occur.

The stranger raises their hands and the illusion that comes in contact with them evaporates completely

The aura gradually becomes more thicker. It becomes harder to see or even breathe

'what the fuck even is this?!' I questioned myself, the green thing covered my vision completely.

"shit!" I cursed out "Itoshi let's go!"

'I can't believe I let Itoshi witness this!' When I turned around, I saw itoshi. His eye was wide

"... Itoshi? Are you okay?" itoshi eyes then landed on me, I felt myself flinch as I felt that gaze

"T-teacher... That person is... The missing suicide case victim... I-Ikeda..."

My body tensed up after I realized, I fuck up.

"I-I think you misheard—'

"DON'T LIE TO ME!"

I look at Itoshi, his face looks terrified "WHO ARE YOU?! THE MISSING SUICIDE CASE VICTIM IS DEAD!"

I notice he takes a step back, I recognize that face

Doubt, and fear. My hand was shaking

"W-wait Itoshi!" I hurriedly grab his hands.

Fuck, I probably look pathetic

"DON'—DON'T TOUCH ME!" When Itoshi snatched his hand away from me, I knew that the trust he felt in me crumbled away

I grow desperate, my body visibly shaking. I stumble with my words trying to explain to Itoshi that I'm not suspicious, he probably thinks I have something to do with the missing suicide case

Without even noticing, I forgot about Kaede who is probably in danger

Why am I desperate? Is it because his name is Itoshi? Or is it because this moment reminds me of a memory that I haven't discovered?

I suddenly feel a hand on my shoulder, bringing me back to reality

It was Itoshi's "WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS LATER, IN THE MEANTIME HELP HIM!" I quickly turn around

Yet it still has the same green aura thing

"I can't see!!" I shouted

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T SEE?!"

'Doesn't he see that greenish fog?!' I think, and then I realize

'Maybe–ONLY BURST SURVIVOR CAN SEE!'

I grumbled "I'LL EXPLAIN IT LATER JUST BE MY EYE FOR A MINUTES," I said, running inside the green fog

Itoshi looks confused but meaningless obey "GO STRAIGHT!" Itoshi yelled when I was in the fog. I saw a passing Illusion

Now looking closely, the illusion isn't some explainable thing, it was a woman with long choppy black hair. Her face seems blurry from how the illusion was probably made without thinking, but I can notice a beauty mark near her lips

Out of curiosity, I touch the illusion.

The tip of my finger brushes against the illusion, disorienting it.

Now the woman's body was torn apart and there was blood everywhere

I let go quickly, I can feel myself gagging.

It was brutal, her body was covered with cuts everywhere.

"WHY DID YOU STOP WALKING? KEEP WALKING!" Itoshi's voice encourages me to walk forward.

I saw Kaede on the ground, shaking and 'BLEEDING?!'

I ran to aid Kaede, taking notice of a huge cut that slashed across his leg

He was groaning, but his eyes were shaking

'Is he unconscious?!' I stare in terror

'If he can make that illusion unconsciously... That means it's his memory..?' my eyes widen

"LOOK BEHIND YOU!" I dodged an incoming attack.

It was that guy

"Tch, I was told there will be no dogs interfering" The stranger spoke. In his hand was a bloodied knife

My face hardened, and my hands were already gripping my flute "What business do you have with All seeing?" I spoke.
