Have you heard of someone named Misaki? Misaki from Class 3-3.
Was there someone like that in Class 3?
That was twenty-six years ago. This person was very popular from the first grade on. They were excellent in every way: smart, good-looking, and a top student. Everyone liked them.
There was, wasn't there... There's always someone like that in every grade...
After moving up to third grade, the person called Misaki suddenly died.
Why?
I heard it was an accident... Everyone was devastated afterward, both their parents and their classmates...
That's so sad...
But... suddenly, someone said this.
What did they say?
Pointing at the desk Misaki used, they said, "Misaki is right there. Misaki isn't dead."
Huh? That's not...
They just made that gesture, and after that, Class 3 decided to keep pretending Misaki was still alive.
Yikes... That's kind of creepy...
And when they graduated, the principal apparently even arranged a seat for Misaki.
That's nice of them.
If it had stopped there...
What do you mean?
