    Summary

    With the secret which had plagued her for so long finally out in the open, Mizuki had returned to Nightcord at 25:00, a source of comfort and joy for her dearest friends. And yet, within the shadows of this happy reunion, two hands fidgeted atop a keyboard, failing to send one tiny message, nay, a plea for help.

    There was another secret that had to come out, and it was Kanade's turn to bloom in mud.

    Summary

    Kanade’s head began to throb. The silence of the room now felt like it was pressing against her eardrums, demanding an answer she didn't have.

    Who are you, Yoisaki Kanade?

    "I'm the one who saves her," Kanade whimpered, while holding her aching head.

    But she is saved already.

    "Then... I'll find a way," she insisted, her eyes closing against her will as exhaustion finally began to win her over. "I have to... I have to be the one..."

    Her grip on the desk loosened. Her breathing slowed. As she slipped from the waking world into sleep, the last thing she saw was the blinking cursor on her composing software.

    Now, the battlefield was empty. The war was over. So what is left of the soldier that gave her life purpose to protecting the nation?

    Summary

    vanishing point (n.): the point in a perspective drawing where parallel lines appear to converge.

    Spring has sprung, and with it has come the day of Kanade and Mafuyu's high school graduation.

    For Mafuyu, graduation is an opportunity: a chance to confront her mother one last time, and claim her future for herself, once and for all. On the other hand, Kanade now finds herself stuck more than ever—because for her, graduation and everything that comes after it represents nothing but an inescapable source of anxiety and dread, too terrifying to even consider.

    But time keeps moving, whether Kanade likes it or not—and as graduation day approaches, she finds herself silently being crushed by the weight of the future, unable to escape...

    Summary

    As Haruka takes Mafuyu’s place in the booth, she notices one of the girls—Minori—is still staring at her. She has been ever since Haruka arrived at the table. Her gaze isn’t malicious. On the contrary, it appears rather thoughtful, and Haruka has the impression that Minori is looking right through her.
