Chapter Text
At the beginning of time, everyone in Japan lived in harmony, I had fun getting along and doing music with Saki, Honami, and Shiho....
I really thought it'd last forever....
Until that day..... there was a disagreement that caused our country to fall apart! Japan was divided in two.... We were forced to choose a side.....
Me and Saki chose to stay....
While Honami and Shiho chose to be on the opposite side....
I never saw those two ever again....
Well, that's what I thought....

As years passed, Ichika enrolled into Miku's school as her pupil. She takes a step outside, "Haaa... the air feels nice..." Ichika said, sniffing the air. Ichika suddenly hears a noise.... coming from the fence... "Huh? That noise..." She walks towards the fence to see a weeping person across.
(Someone's crying?)
"Hey... are you okay..?" She questions.
The weeping person turns her head. Ichika was shocked to see who it was. It couldn't be....
"H-Honami?!"
"E-eh?..." Honami tumbles back, confused... starting to run away anytime soon....
"Ah, wait! I didn't think I would see you again!" She smiled in joy. "I'm so glad you're okay! Saki will be so-"
"I-I'm sorry.... but...." Honami interrupts as she turns her body to Ichika. "Do I... know you...?"
"Eh...?" Ichika was puzzled... "Honami, it's me... Ichika? I'm your friend, we played and did music with Saki and Shiho when we were little...? Remember..?!" She explained, gripping on the bars.
"I-I'm sorry... I don't think I understand...." Honami apologized to her, stepping back..
"Mochizuki..." A voice calls out to her.
"Ah!" Honami jumps at the voice. She quickly turns around to see a purple-haired girl behind her. "A-Asahina-senpai...!"
"Luka wants you back in her room..." She tells her.
"Ah..! Right...!" She nodded, and Honami began to follow her upperclassmen back to her teacher.
"No! Wait...! Don't go...!" Ichika yelled to her, as she reached out.
But Honami did not interfere.... instead, she just stared at her... sadly, as she walked away from her....
"Honami....."
