After telling his story Itsuki asked Kaneki about his friends resulting in him going on a walk.
Itsuki: what's with him?
Chikao: you shouldn't have ask him that question he hasn't seen his friends since 3 months ago.
???: wait really?
Chikao: yeah, Sachi had to go to a different school and as for the other 3 they disappeared without a trace.
Ryueki: maybe the other 3 were just hallucinations in his head?
Chikao glared at Ryueki.
Chikao: they were not hallucinations! I've met them and they are real!
Shino: hey no need to yell Class rep Higanbana-kun might hear you.
Chikao: sorry, but anyways you guys shouldn't ask or mention anything about his friends okay?
Natsuki: yeah, sure Class rep.
Keiko: you can count on us.
Itsuki: I have to apologize to him again tomorrow.
After a while Yuuka decided its a good time for everyone to go to sleep.
Yuuka: alright then, EVERYONE! ITS TIME TO SLEEP!
???: finally I'm feeling sleepy now!
Keiko: alright Itsuki-kun lets go to our tent now!
Itsuki: I hear you kei-chan!
Yuuka: Oh Yeah! Shino-chan can you tell Higanbana-kun to go back?
Shino: yeah... sure (Yuuka you fool!)
Some thoughts from their classmates*
(Mirai-san is probably using this opportunity to get rid of on of her rivals)
(Mirai-san is using Kaneki to get rid of one of her rivals?! This isn't good, But! I can't tell Kaneki)
Some thought Yuuka was trying to use Kaneki to get rid of one of her rivals.
After a while everyone went to their tents and slept.
But a few were still awake.
Miku's thoughts*
(I hope Onii-chan and Shino-Onee would get along soon, the way his face looked while telling that story he.. looked happy)
Yuuka's thoughts*
(Shino I'm giving you as many chances to talk to him as possible please don't waste them)
Chikao's thoughts*
(Things are going smoothly but I have weird feeling for some reason)
But one person's thoughts were negative.
Ryueki's thoughts*
(Dammit! I didn't get as much attention! And Natsuki-chan was disgusted by my cooking! I'm supposed to be the protagonist! Grrr!! But whatever on the 3rd day/night I will unleash this monster to attack us and I will save everyone and maybe Natsuki will see my cool side!)
(Author: this guy sigh~ I am really annoyed with this guy, this guy has main character syndrome)
Meanwhile somewhere near camp*
Scratch!*
Sword-san: [what are you doing?! Kaneki-chan?!!]
Kaneki: I don't know! Why did it tell that story?!
Scratch!*
Kaneki: what a pain! What is going on with me?!
Sword-san: why don't you talk with Shino-chan? Maybe you'll get better.
Kaneki: She is not Shita-chan.
Sword-san's thoughts*
(He is rejecting the current Shino-chan... I can't see his face but I can tell he is pain)
Behind a tree nearby*
Shino's thoughts*
(I... Am not me? He doesn't see me as me?... Of course I've changed. not only he doesn't remember my face but he also doesn't see me as Me anymore... How can I fix our relationship? Should i.. talk to him?)
Shino showed herself to Kaneki.
Kaneki: oh Tanaka-san what are you doing here?
Shino's thoughts*
(C'mon! Say it!!)
Shino: its time to sleep so you must get back.
Kaneki: oh I see well I'll get going now see ya tomorrow.
Kaneki walked passed Shino and headed straight to camp.
Shino's thoughts*
(Ahhh! I messed up!! I was supposed to talk to him!! What am I supposed to do?!!!)
She was not happy for not being able to talk to her childhood friend and she sat down and was about to cry but before even a single tear would drop she came.
Natsuki: hey Tanaka-chan! Why aren't you going back to camp yet?
Shino: Mizutani-san?! What are you doing here?
Natsuki: well i wanted to see if you had any progress on making Higanbana-kun your friend.
Shino: sorry to disappoint you but no progress. I was planning to talk to him but I was frozen in fear cuz his eyes they looked terrifying, so instead of talking I told him to back to camp to sleep.
Natsuki: really? Well.
Natsuki sat down with Shino.
Natsuki: You shouldn't be afraid of him he is completely harmless unless provoked.
Shino: why? Because he looks like a girl?
Natsuki: nope, because he is kind.
Shino's thoughts*
(I already know that about him)
Natsuki: Tanaka-san if you want to be his friend try showing him your kindness.
Shino: my kindness?
Natsuki: yes, if you try helping him he might get interested being your friend.
Shino: unlikely. He doesn't accept help that easily.
Natsuki: yeah you're right.
Shino was curios on one thing so she asked.
Shino: why do you want to help me become friends with Higanbana-kun?
Natsuki looked at Shino and said.
Natsuki: well I want him to be happy.
Shino: happy?
Natsuki: yes, happy he looks very miserable we're not friends (lie) but for some reason I want to help so I made it my mission to get friends for him but its my own personal secret.
Shino: don't worry i won't tell.
Natsuki: thanks.
Shino: but you know? I don't think I'm the right person for this plan of yours why? Because just now I was afraid of him.
Natsuki: it doesn't matter if you're afraid of him or not if you want to be his friend you must try your best, if you cnt do it tomorrow do it tomorrow, I know you can be his friend here's a word of advice "Don't give up on him"
Hearing those words Shino felt relieved.
Shino: i won't!
And she was more confident than ever.
Natsuki: that's great! Now you must plan for tomorrow!
Shino: I will! Thank you for the talk Mizutani-san.
Natsuki: you're welcome.
After their chat they began to go back to camp.
Shino's thoughts*
(Thank you Mizutani-san I will try my best and I'll do my best to become your childhood friend again Higanbana-kun you're irreplaceable to me and I don't want to lose you)
