note: before this nurse prescribes hanabanana some antidepressants or something
then she comes to hisao, drugged up, and asks if he wants sum fuk

label en_H32:

    "My body remains frozen, but a single word manages to escape my lips."

    hi "No…"

    "Once again, a flicker of recognition passes across Hanako's face."

    ha "No…?"

    "She raises her body up onto her elbows, her hair flowing off her body like a waterfall."

    "My mind, somehow inspired by my single word, manages to catch up with my flapping mouth."

    hi "Not like this…"

    hi "Hanako, I love you, but you're still not well."

    hi "So please… please don't do this."

    "My knee buckles, and I lurch forwards."

    "Shakily, I pick up her short, green dress from the floor, still warm from the contact with her body."

    hi "Please… get dressed."

    "I hold out the dress with a quivering hand, and for a moment, neither of us can do anything but look at each other's ashen faces."

    "Eventually, Hanako sighs, and takes the dress from me."

    "I watch in shock as she dresses silently."

    "She teases her hair into a semblance of its usual glory, and moves to leave my room."

    "Her head is bowed lower than I've ever seen it before, and as she passes me, she whispers in a voice full of tears."

    ha "sorry"

    #sic, no punctuation/caps.

    "She leaves at a pace somewhere between walking and running, rapidly disappearing beyond the door jamb."

    "It takes me a moment to summon the courage to give chase, but she is nowhere to be seen."

    "Depressed, I walk to the girl's dorm."

    "Hanako isn't here."

    "As I stand in her doorway, dejected, Lilly approaches me."

    li "Hisao? Is something the matter?"

    hi "It's Hanako. She's… not Hanako anymore."

    li "I… I think we should have a talk, Hisao."

    "Lilly leads me into her room, and I close the door behind us."

    "My body, still in some state of shock, goes through the motions of preparing tea in Lilly's dainty set."

    "Once we are settled with a small cup in front of us, Lilly begins to speak."

    li "I… I must apologise for not warning you."

    li "Hanako hasn't been the same lately."

    hi "But, that's just the medication, right?"

    hi "The nurse said she'd get better…"

    hi "Right…?"

    "The look on Lilly's face doesn't fill me with confidence."

    li "I've been speaking with her doctors for some time now, and they warned me that this may happen."

    li "Usually, the patient is strong enough to come back on their own."

    li "But sometimes…"

    "Lilly chokes, unable to continue."

    hi "That can't be right!"

    hi "She's still Hanako!"

    "Lilly reaches out across the table, her hand colliding with my chest."

    "She slides it up to my shoulder, the contact silencing me."

    li "Sometimes, people don't come back."

    li "The strain on their hearts is just too great."

    li "Our Hanako…"

    "Crystal tears start to flow from the corners of Lilly's sightless eyes."

    li "… may never come back."

    "Hanako's zombie-like eyes flash into my memory, lying on my bed, her pale skin exposed to the world."

    "Through her tears, Lilly continues."

    li "The doctors… her doctors…"

    li "…they said that the medications that she is on will keep her “balanced” for as long as required."

    hi "No… no that can't be right."

    "Lilly's grip on my shoulder tightens."

    li "Please, Hisao, you have to understand."

    li "We need to be strong for her."

    "In a fit of confused rage, I knock away Lilly's hand."

    hi "How we be strong for her if it's not even her!"

    hi "Just how long will we be waiting for?"

    hi "The Hanako I just saw was not Hanako. She was barely even a person."

    li "Hisao…"

    hi "Enough!"

    hi "It's their fault."

    hi "Hanako would never be like she is now."

    hi "It's all the doctor's fault!"

    #Lilly pleading

    "Lilly raises up on her knees, her hand desperately searching out for me."

    li "Hisao, please!"

    li "I know this is hard, but we have to trust them!"

    li "We promised, remember!"

    "Our promise in my small hospital room seems so far away now."

    "I wonder, did I make the wrong choice?"

    hi "No… we promised to do what was right for Hanako."

    hi "This… this isn't right."

    hi "I'm going to put a stop to this."

    "Lilly tries to stand up, but in her haste, she trips on the small table, crashing over it."

    "A shower of broken china rains down upon the room and the girl sprawled across its floor."

    "It takes every last drop of my enraged determination to turn away from her."

    li "Hisao… please…"

    "I exit her room, closing out her pleading whimpers with her door."

    "As I enter Hanako's room, I notice that she still hasn't returned."

    "Good."

    "This makes it easier to do what I have to do."

    "I open her drawers with no sense of order, throwing clothes, study tools and underwear about the undecorated room."

    "Drawer after drawer, I become like a demon, tearing apart Hanako's room."

    "My vision blurs, and I wipe my eyes with the sleeve of my shirt."

    "It leaves my face tear-stained."

    "Eventually, I find what I am looking for; a small, white plastic bottle."

    hi "Lithium Carbonate…"

    #In case you're wondering, it's the stuff Stabby-tan was on when he tried to kill me.

    hi "Just what the hell have they got you on?"

    "I stare at the tiny bottle in my hands as my feet carry me to the bathroom in the hall."

    "Twisting the top open releases a smell all to familiar to me; the chalky odour of medication."

    "The tiny white ovals flow from the upturned bottle, making a staccato melody as they splash down into the pool of water in the toilet's bowl."

    "Emotionlessly, I push down the unassuming silver button, sending Hanako's pills away in a swirl of water."

    "As my rage dies down, I hear a quivering breath behind me."

    li "What… did you just do?"

    "Lilly's broken voice breaks me, and I collapse to the toilet's floor, still holding the pill bottle in my hand."

    hi "I…"

    "My words come in sobs."

    "I barely realised that I was crying."

    hi "don't… know…"

    "Lilly carefully guides herself to the floor by my side, and wraps her arms around me."

    "Broken, I let out sobs of despair."

    "Lilly gently coos and shushes in my ear, rocking slightly to calm me."

    "We sit there on the floor of the bathroom, until a scraping noise distracts us."

    "Wiping the dampness from my face, I stand up and help Lilly to her feet."

    "Supporting each other, we enter the small hallway to find the source of the disturbance."

    "Hanako sits on the floor of her room, quietly folding the clothes scattered around her room."

    ha "Oh. Hello Lilly, Hisao."

    "Hanako shows no emotion towards either the state of her room or the arrival of Lilly and myself."

    "She acknowledges us and then goes back to slowly folding her clothes."

    "As if it were the most natural thing in the world."

    "I try to speak, but once again find my throat choked."

    "Instead, I slip the empty bottle into my pocket, fall to my knees, and start to fold a blouse."

    "Lilly too kneels upon the floor, and I hand her a shirt."

    "Sensing the situation, she too starts to fold Hanako's clothes."

    "Before long, the scattered clothes have been assembled into tidy piles, which Hanako noiselessly sorts into their rightful drawers."

    "As she reaches her underwear drawer, she lets out a brief, but bored exclamation."

    ha "Oh. They're gone."

    "It was the drawer that contained her pills."

    "I thrust my hand into my pocket, feeing the plastic bottle with my fingertips."

    "Pangs of guilt arc through my body like electricity."

    hi "Hanako… I…"

    "Hanako pauses only for a moment before moving onto the next drawer, as if nothing had happened."

    "Lilly and I stand up whilst Hanako finishes sorting her laundry."

    ha "I'm going to bed now."

    "Without waiting for a response, Hanako unbuttons her blouse and lies down on her bed."

    "I usher Lilly out of the room in an embarrassed rush."

    hi "I think… that I've had enough for one day."

    hi "I'm going to see the nurse and go to bed."

    "Outside, the afternoon sun is still high above the treetops, but I am gripped by a mind-numbing fatigue."

    "Lilly simply nods, and returns to her room."

    #timeskip to dorm

    "As promised, I went to see the nurse before retiring."

    "He diligently took my vitals and noted them down in my folder."

    "Thankfully, he wasn't as chatty as he was this morning."

    "I don't know what I would have said if he had asked me how my day was."

    "Collapsing on my bed, I catch a faint whiff of Hanako's scent from my bed sheets."

    "Guilt and desire mix together in my mind, further compounding my desire to close my eyes and end this wretched day."

    #eyesclose

    "Wednesday brings with it the end of exams for the rest of the students."

    "Those that haven't already left for their holidays are sleeping in, and I don't see a single soul as I return from the nurse's office and head for the girl's dorm."

    "I push through the main doors, and enter the building."

    "Inside, a pair of girls still in their pyjamas are watching the TV."

    "They barely even register my existence as I make my way up the stairs to Hanako's room."

    "I knock lightly on the door, and, to my delight, I hear a slightly muffled, yet familiar, voice."

    ha "C…coming."

    "There is the sound of flustered movement from inside, but I eventually hear footsteps approaching the door."

    "Through the opening door, I see a relieving sight."

    "Hanako stands before me, her eyes cast down, her hair perfectly groomed."

    "Her loose uniform hangs from her frame, clean and familiar."

    "Her free hand rests against her shy face."

    ha "Oh… G… good morning Hisao."

    "Her voice lilts, the minute variations in tone washing me in relief."

    hi "Good morning Hanako. How're you feeling?"

    "She rubs her head slightly."

    ha "I… I have a bit of a headache."

    hi "Well, that's no good, is it?"

    hi "Do you want a drink of water?"

    "She nods slightly in agreement."

    "I hold out my hand for her, and she tenderly accepts it."

    "We walk outside to the nearest vending machine, and I buy us two drinks."

    "Sitting on a nearby bench, Hanako sheepishly drinks, holding the small can with both hands."

    hi "How's things?"

    ha "I… feel like… like the fog has lifted from my brain."

    "She takes another sip from her drink, contemplating her next words."

    ha "Hisao…?"

    ha "Hmm?"

    ha "I… I'm sorry."

    ha "I didn't mean…"

    "I rest my head on her shoulder."

    #Surprise/blush

    hi "It's okay."

    hi "You don't have to apologise."

    "Hanako, stunned into silence, takes another sip of her drink."

    hi "We'll get through this, together, okay?"

    hi "You, me, even Lilly."

    hi "We'll all be fine, okay?"

    "The can pauses against Hanako's lips."

    ha "Okay."

    "We finish our drinks, and just sit on the bench for a while, my head still resting on Hanako."

    hi "Say…"

    ha "Hmm?"

    hi "Let's go on a date."

    "Hanako breathes in a little in shock, though not as much as I expected."

    ha "W…where would we go?"

    hi "I don't know… you choose."

    "For a moment Hanako contemplates, toying with the empty can in her hands."

    ha "Let's go to the park in the town."

    hi "Sounds good to me. Have you got all you need?"

    "She nods soundlessly."

    hi "Right then, let's go!"

    "Excited by the slowly returning Hanako, I jump to my feet, and pull her up."

    "We dispose of our cans, and head to the bus stop in front of the school."

    #BG Station

    "Hanako was unusually silent on the trip in, so I try to goad her into talking."

    hi "Which way was it again? To the park…"

    ha "It… might be faster to take the subway…"

    hi "Oh, really? Well, let's do that then."

    "We enter the station complex and take the escalator down to the subway platform."

    "I check the map, and sure enough, the town's central park has its own station."

    hi "Wow, we'll be there in no time, right?"

    "Hanako nods in agreement, but says nothing."

    "The morning crowds have died down on the subway platform, leaving it almost bare."

    "Within minutes, the red-and-silver train pulls up alongside the platform, and we board an empty carriage."

    "We sit next to each other, and I take Hanako's hand, placing it in my lap."

    hi "Are you still feeling okay?"

    ha "My head still hurts a little."

    "I stroke her hand."

    hi "Should we stop off somewhere and get some painkillers?"

    ha "No… I should be fine."

    ha "I… hate pills."

    "The train pulls away from the station, and I pull Hanako close to me."

    #BG change to the park auditorium thing from H19 or whatever it was.

    "The sun gleams off the concrete roof of the park's stage, bringing with it the fury of the summer heat."

    hi "It's been a while, eh?"

    "As soon as we disembarked from the train, Hanako made a beeline for this place…"

    "…the place where we first kissed, the auditorium in the park."

    "Once again, there is not a person in sight, yet we sit together on the bench furthest from the stage."

    ha "Am I…"

    "Hanako sighs before going on."

    ha "Am I a bad girl?"

    hi "What? No, don't be silly."

    hi "Whatever makes you say that?"

    "Hanako takes a deep breath."

    ha "All I've ever done is hurt you."

    ha "But I still want to be with you."

    ha "That makes me a bad person, doesn't it?"

    hi "Hanako, none of this is your fault."

    hi "I want to be with you, and you want to be with me."

    hi "Nothing else matters, right?"

    hi "I promised you that, remember?"

    "I search her face for any signs of understanding, but find none."

    ha "Can I… see it?"

    hi "See what?"

    ha "Your chest…"

    "Confused, I unbutton my shirt, revealing the unicorn-shaped band-aid."

    "Hanako shifts her gaze to the gap in my shirt, and I carefully remove the novelty dressing."

    "Beneath it, the crimson line of my scar shows, dissected by stitches."

    "Hanako reaches out a shaky hand, and traces her finger along the line of the wound."

    "I fight the urge to wince at the pain, biting down on the insides of my cheeks to prevent Hanako from noticing."

    ha "I… did this… didn't I?"

    hi "Of course not. I was like this before we even met, how could it possibly be your fault?"

    "I take her trembling hand in mine."

    ha "I thought I killed you…"

    ha "All I do is hurt and kill…"

    ha "I'm a bad person…"

    "Before she can say another word, I bury her face into my aching chest."

    hi "You're not a bad person."

    hi "You're just Hanako."

    hi "You're just feeling a little sick from the pills, is all."

    hi "You're not a bad person."

    "I feel her body convulse in sobs, and her salty tears sting my open wound, but I continue to just hold her against me."

    "If nothing else, I have to be here for her, from now until forever."

    #time skip or something.

    "As the sun starts to turn in the sky, heading for its sleeping place, Hanako pulls away from me."

    ha "I… I want to go."

    hi "Okay. Shall we walk back?"

    ha "No… I don't feel well."

    ha "Can we take the train again?"

    hi "Sure thing."

    "Taking Hanako by the hand, we walk back to the subway platform."

    #BG platform.

    "The afternoon crowds are starting to build, and the platform is a lot more crowded than before."

    "Hanako tugs gently on my hand, and leads me towards the end of the platform."

    "Through our light contact, I feel her tremble slightly."

    "PA" "The next train to arrive on platform two is the local train to Sendai Station."

    "PA" "The train is approaching, please stand behind the yellow line."

    "The steady gust of wind that precedes the train forces me to look away form Hanako for a second to shield my eyes."

    "The trembling stops."

    ha "I'm sorry."

    ha "I won't hurt anyone else anymore…"

    "Hanako releases my hand, and steps backwards."

    "I try to reach out to her, but it is too late."

    "The speeding train collides with her frail body just as I reach the edge of the platform."

    "I was too late…"
