Senpai never did return and I never got any decent results playing gambling sleeper choke hold with the astronomy club who always work late into the night.

And I was kicked out of the bomb shelter meeting room when Snowy needed to use the bath past midnight, so it hadn’t been a good night for me.

I sighed and groaned on the way home. After walking 20 minutes, I arrived at the apartment where I live alone.

Getting inside required passing through the gate. The entrance door had a voiceprint lock, so you had to say the passphrase you had chosen yourself.

I took a look around to make sure no one was nearby before saying my phrase.

“This week’s Saturday night movie is the latest hit by the German genius Nachiheil Suanfurt: Forbidden Love – Clash of the Zengars 5.”

The door opened.

Unusual for it to work the first time. I usually ended up saying it 5 or 6 times while the women carrying shopping bags home gave me weird looks. If only my parents hadn’t forced me to set it up like this…

But whatever. The point was I was having a bad day.

But now it was time to change that! By getting to sleep.

Just as I was about to step inside, I saw a seated figure in the shadow next to the door.

Oh, no! Did someone hear that!?

No. A closer look showed this person was seated and asleep. No, wait.

“They aren’t breathing.”

I pinched my cheek once and shoved my head into the shadow to get a better look. The shadow filled my vision and tried to hide everything, so I activated my Mobilized Writing.

I blew away the darkness. I saw white tile and I could now identify the person sitting there.

“You? But why?”

You slowly looked up in response to my voice.

Your face was pale with exhaustion. But more than that…

“There’s blood on your clothes.”

You looked down at the large quantity of blood on your clothing, but you shook your head.

You looked me in the eye.

“Can I ask you something?”

“Yeah, of course.”

You smiled a little at my immediate response.

A tear spilled from the corner of your narrowed eyes.

“I never grow cause I’m so dumb. So hurry up and ask. Tell me why you need my power.”

You nodded and loosened your coat’s collar.

You revealed your pale shoulder.

“Can you save anything and everything with your power?”

I saw two holes on your throat. Sharp, deep holes.

I stopped breathing and you started to weep.

I managed a trembling breath and asked a question.

“Did you already save something with your blood and tears?”

Something bad happened.

Coming up with these movie names each time is a challenge. I feel like I may be misplacing my efforts there.
