đŻď¸ Day One â Missing
KentarĹ woke up alone.That wasn't new.
But what was?The emptiness.His phone had no messages.His wallpaper had changed.The sketch Reika gave himâthe one of him and Sarah on the rooftopânow showed only him.Smiling at no one.
He ran outside.
"Sarah?""Sarah-chan??"
He said the name aloudâonce, twiceâ
But people turned, confused.
"Who's that?"
đ The Erasure is Real
He stormed into the university records office.
Searched class files.
No Sarah.
No enrollment ID.
Her desk in the classroom was empty.
Her dorm room was lockedâand erased from the housing registry.
KentarĹ sat on the bench outside her building.
A tear fell.It hit the ground.But it didn't make a sound.
As if reality itself refused to acknowledge his grief.
đ¨ Even Reika Forgot
He went to Reika.Held her sketchbook up.
"You drew this. Where is she?"
Reika squinted.
"I don't remember drawing⌠anyone there."
"Was someone next to you?"
She shook her head, slowly.
"KentarĹ⌠are you okay?"
"You've been talking to yourself lately."
He walked away in silence.She watched him go, frowning, disturbedâbut no name came to her lips.
đ Only One Thing Remains
Back at home, KentarĹ sat at his desk.
His hands trembled as he took out the cracked memory crystalâthe one Sarah gave him back in Volume 2.
It pulsed faintly.Flickered.Then played one last recording:
"KentarĹ... if you're hearing this, I'm gone.But this isn't another death.This is... the world forgetting I ever was."
"You might be the only one who remembers.So pleaseâdon't waste that gift."
"Write me a world where I still belong."
"Even if no one else believes it⌠you will."
đ The Rewrite Begins
He opened his journal.Wrote on the first blank page:
"Sarah-chan.The girl who came from nowhere.Who argued over apple prices.Who once placed her forehead against mine to learn the world."
"The one who smiled at broken stars, and fought Chronos with a blade made of memories."
"She existed.She loved.She mattered."
The more he wrote, the more his room changed.
A photograph blinked into existence on his deskâfaded, but two shadows stood side by side.
đď¸ Final Scene â A Voice in the Wind
Outside, the wind blew across the rooftop.
A paper with KentarĹ's writing on it fluttered, then lifted into the sky.
And as it roseâ
For just a secondâ
He heard her laugh.
Soft.Brief.Familiar.
"Idiot⌠Don't you dare forget me."
He looked up at the moon.And smiled through his tears.
