Chapter Text
Nene hadn't gotten much sleep last night. A light headache irritating her as she tried to rest, after awhile she would get up and find something to do to distract herself.
When she had gone to school that morning she was quite fatigued, her hair a bit messy and her eyes drooping slightly. Her friend Aoi looked to her with concerned eyes.
"Nene-chan, are you feeling okay? You look tired."
Nene smiled to reassure her. "Yeah, I just had trouble sleeping last night is all."
A little relieved, Aoi would go on to say she should take it easy for the day. Nene agreed, wanting to use her energy wisely.
As the day went on however, the tired girl's exhaustion only grew. It was nearing the end of the day and Nene wanted nothing more than to go home. She felt so gross. She was sweating and started to feel woozy, occasionally she would need to brace herself against something in order to feel somewhat stable.
Finally school was finished. She sipped some cool water, trying to ease her discomfort. As everyone left she would walk slowly, having to traverse the emptied school halls. however as she starts to head to her locker, a familiar voice rings beside her.
"Yashiro! Where are you going? bathroom duty!"
Nene turns to see the levitating ghost boy looking hurt. Hanako staring at her with those puppy eyes of his.
"Ah- Hanako-kun.I'm just going home early today… I can't clean the bathroom until tomorrow." She smiled at him apologetically, not wanting to hurt his feelings but she already felt like she could hardly stand.
Hanako seemed a little surprised, Yashiro would never go home early, she'd usually always visit the bathrooms or work in the practice garden. He couldn't help but wonder what she needed to go home for
"Hmm… What could be more important than being here?" He raises a hand to her cheek, his clinginess increasing. When his fingers graced her cheek he finally notices how pale she looked. Her usually pleasantly warm face now clammy and bland. His eyes widened slightly.
"I just want to nap is all… you see I didn't…" Nene tried to explain to Hanako but her head began to spin and she was starting to feel double.
"Yashiro?" Hanako's nervous voice piqued.
Suddenly, she slumped over, falling into his shoulder. Hanako's body being the only thing keeping her from slumping to the ground. A cold and frantic panic met the ghost boy in an intense wave. Had he been alive his heart likely would have exploded.
"Yashiro!" Hanako exclaimed loudly, desperate he pats her face, trying to get her to respond.
Fearfully he checked her, trying to prove his fears were not occurring before him.
In relief he learned she was still breathing.
