[Net King] Take away my heart

tears fall on my heart

like rain falling over the city

what kind of sadness

Come down on my heart like a thorn?

—Paul Verlaine

-----------------------------------------

After the sports meeting at the end of the semester, Miyake-senpai came to class aggressively with a pair of crutches.

You bravely signed up for four competitions in that year's sports meeting. Although you died in the relay race before the final equestrian battle, your name spread throughout the school overnight.

It was from then on that you suddenly looked at Senior Jack differently.

Although your attention has shifted from your old rival, Vice Minister Sanada, to Senior Jack, there is still an incompatibility between you and him.

Deputy Minister Sanada won three No.1s in that sports meeting, but he didn't seem to be happy about it.I think it's largely because Miyake-senpai has been chasing Jack-senpai fiercely, not only disturbing his own peace, but also disturbing the peace of the entire tennis club.

Generally speaking, you started the war between you and Vice Minister Sanada, but the quarrel after the sports meeting was initiated by Vice Minister Sanada.

——"As a woman, you do such a shameless act, where did your tutor learn it!?"

I happened to pass by the corridor after class that day, and you and Deputy Director Sanada stood there, ignoring the people coming and going around you, and just started arguing so loudly.

At that time, your foot injury was not healed, and you were still struggling to support your body with a cane, but you still stared at Vice Minister Sanada with your head up and down, showing no signs of losing to him.

"Hey, Vice Minister Sanada really cares about me, not only about my style, but also about my private life? How much free time do you have? You don't know how to point out others when you have this time. Go find a woman and try to see what it's like to fall in love? I don't believe you can be more reserved than me!"

Your usual harsh words immediately made Vice Minister Sanada turn blue.

"Shameless woman!" he yelled, "Evidently I lost the game and didn't even get any honor for the class, what right does a prodigal dog like you have to chase after Jack all day long!?"

After hearing this sentence, the person who turned blue turned into you.

People passing by the corridor are secretly watching you two, but no one dares to stop it, because everyone knows that if you get involved in your war, it is tantamount to asking for death.

"Hmph." You sneered after a brief silence, "I'm a prodigal dog, so what are you Sanada Genichiro?"

It is rare for you not to use a high volume, but to ask him slowly.Vice Minister Sanada frowned, he didn't seem to have figured out your intentions yet.

"If I'm a loser, you're a coward."

Everyone in the corridor is looking at you.I saw you let go of your hand, and for a moment I thought you were going to hit him with a cane—but you didn't, you just threw away the cane and limped towards Vice Minister Sanada.

What happened in the next second made everyone's eyes widened, and they even forgot to breathe.You walked up to him, grabbed his collar, then tiptoed and said, "Do you know what you're afraid of? ... This is what you're afraid of."

You kissed him on the lips unexpectedly.

I will never forget Deputy Minister Sanada's expression at that time. He pushed you away in panic, covered his mouth and couldn't even utter a word.You staggered back a few steps, then started laughing, and in your laughter, Vice Minister Sanada turned and fled the corridor.

Just like that, that war ended with your victory, and that was also the last quarrel between you and Vice Minister Sanada.

On the eve of the third grader's graduation ceremony, you suddenly announced that you would transfer to another school and leave Lihai to live overseas with your parents.She must be very sad to know this news, because you are her only trusted friend in this school, if you leave, only her and Senior Liu will be left in the Dead Poets Society.

I don't know what senior Miyake is thinking, don't you feel sad?To this school, to this class, to those of us, and to her, why can you just leave with a relaxed face?I don't think she's going to ask you to stay because she's not that kind of person.But senior, if you hesitated a little at that time, even if you were a little reluctant, if I could ask you to stay, if she could ask you to stay, if we all asked you to stay, wouldn't you? Run to that distant place?

Will you be able to leave this cold tomb and come back to us.

Senior, after you left, I miss you very much, so does she, Senior Liu, and even Senior Jack.

Remember what you did for your third grader's graduation?It was obviously the graduation ceremony of the seniors, but you regarded it as your own graduation ceremony and ran amok in the auditorium.

The principal originally asked you to read a speech to the seniors who are about to graduate as a sophomore representative. As a result, you just read half of the speech with the speech in your hand, and suddenly threw the paper aside, and then took it from the stand. I got off the microphone and shouted to everyone in the audience at a high decibel volume: "I, Reika Miyake, am here to confess my love to Jack Kuwahara today!"

This was the last crazy thing you did before you left Lihai. The teachers all ran up to the stage to snatch the microphone in your hand. You were limping on one leg but dodging left and right. You were more agile than a monkey.

"It's Jack Kuwahara! Listen to me, I like you! One day I'll chase you into your hands! I swear to God...!"

Senior, it is absolutely true to say that your skin is as thick as a city wall.But the senior who confessed bravely at the graduation ceremony that day was the most handsome girl I have ever seen in my life.

In the uproar of the audience, you staggered off the stage on crutches. I watched you from a distance in the crowd. You didn't walk towards Senior Jack, but towards Senior Jiayin.

At that time, her face was full of tears, and she supported you who was about to fall.

"You madman!" she cried to you.

"I'm crazy!" you replied with a big laugh.

Then your tears flowed down too, and the two of you hugged tightly.

"Promise to never forget me."

"I promise you...you have to promise me, never forget me, and everything we have done here."

The two of you hugged each other laughing and weeping, and then I realized that the end of this ceremony also means that you will be separated from each other from now on.

She's the kind of person who doesn't show much emotion, doesn't smile, doesn't cry, and maybe she shows her emotional side only when she's facing you.You hugged each other and cried for a long time, and even I suddenly felt reluctant and wanted to cry. Thinking about it now, maybe I should really go over and hug you at that time.

Because... that turned out to be the last time we saw you.

The death of our predecessors changed the trajectory of each of us.

From the moment you jumped onto the rails, from the moment your soul shattered and dissipated on earth, the gears of fate started turning in the wrong direction.

Senior is a bad guy, he confessed his confession shockingly in front of the whole school, but he didn't keep his promise to come back to find Senior Jack.

The corner of the News Department that was given over to Dead Poets was always swept clean after your death.

All the manuscripts of the Dead Poets Society are well preserved, and each one is neatly organized, as if this place has never been a forgotten place.

Senior Liu would go to the news department every day.Wipe down the desk, even if there is no dust there, open the drawer, take a look at the files that have long been out of order, make sure everything is in good condition, and then leave with peace of mind.

It still remains the same as it was when you were alive.

Senior, after you left this world and such misfortune happened to her, only Senior Liu was left in the Dead Poets Society.Occasionally, he would sit alone in the atrium, staring at something in a daze.

He has changed, and so have I, including your only dear friend...everyone has changed because of your death.

After entering the third grade, Minister Yukimura's illness relapsed again unfortunately. The news of your death came almost at the same time as this incident, and her eyes have since lost light.

The former Lihai has changed beyond recognition.

I must not lose her, and I must not let her suffer the same tragic ending as my predecessors.No matter what means, no matter what method, as long as I can wake her up from that nightmare, even if I have to exchange my own life, I will not hesitate.

Alright, senior, I'm going to see that police officer next, although he looks a bit scary, but Senior Liu said that he is the only one who can help us uncover the truth.

I still can't believe that there is someone in this world who wants to take her life. No matter what motive and purpose that person has, I can't forgive him for doing such a thing to Senior Jiayin.

I don't know who that horrible murderer was, but I swear, if the law doesn't help us bring that man to justice, someday I'll find him with my own hands and take revenge on him in my own way.

Senior, I will not tell you to rest in peace here, because before she wakes up, I will not allow you to do nothing and just watch everything happen like this.

Please let us find the murderer, please let all this nightmare pass as soon as possible... Please protect her and tell her we are still waiting for her to wake up.

I won't cry anymore, because the rabbit has found its friend, and the blood-like eyes no longer mean loneliness, but are used to gaze at all the precious things in this world——

And, the unknown truth.
