Work Text:
I glance at Imai as her camera flash flashes brightly.
She's been acting off.
As if she's disconcerted with Sakura's disappearance.
It's been three years.
And only this year has she started acting weirdly.
She's been eating less.
And I've been noticing her more.
Is it because she, other than Natsume, is the last tie to Sakura?
Or is it the hormonal stages of adolescence?
And I wonder; what would have truly happened with Sakura around.
Nevertheless, I have to stay strong.
For Natsume. For Sakura. For Imai.
For the rest of the Academy.
Because I want Sakura to have a chance. A fighting chance to keep us safe.
To let Imai smile.
Because the disappearance of Sakura Mikan will never be forgotten.
