together forever. 𝙮.𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙚

The air in the old school building was thick with the scent of dust and forgotten dreams. Overhead, fluorescent lights flickered, casting long, dancing shadows that seemed to whisper secrets along the deserted hallway.

You floated silently, a pair of luminous orbs, weaving through the familiar corridors of Kamome Academy. The distant echo of a school bell signaled the end of classes, and soon, the human students would spill out, their laughter and chatter temporarily dispelling the quiet.

Your awareness, though unburdened by a physical form, registered the faint hum of spiritual energy emanating from the third-floor girls' bathroom—a familiar beacon. Hanako-san, the mischievous Seventh School Mystery, would be there, undoubtedly waiting for his daily summoning or, more likely, devising some new prank.

A faint sigh, a thought rather than a sound, passed through your ethereal form. Duty called, as it always did. Your purpose, clear and unwavering, was to serve him, to be his unseen protector. Yet, as you drifted towards the bathroom, a subtle, almost imperceptible warmth spread through you, a feeling that had nothing to do with your assigned role and everything to do with the spectral boy who was your charge.
