Chapter 1: Prologue

I didn’t particularly regret anything.

Even if I had resentment, I never thought my past actions were wrong.

Not when I opened my eyes as a third-year student at Abydos.

Not when I celebrated Hoshino’s enrollment with Yume.

Not when Hoshino tore up the festival posters.

Not when I recovered Yume’s body.

Not when I made a deal with Gematria to save Abydos.

Not at any moment did I regret anything.

But now, I’m not so sure.

What state am I in right now?

“Senpai…!!!”

I still don’t know.

I’m so tired that I can’t think straight.

Just a little… Just a little nap. That much is okay, right?

Using Hoshino’s voice and the sound of gunshots as a lullaby, I closed my eyes.

Soon, I couldn’t feel anything, and my consciousness faded away.
