First comment because I have to type this review as I read bc of the fic length: am I allowed to feel special for having the second longest fic of ficmas dedicated to me? I Shouldn't bc I know this probably troubled you but it helps my self esteem and friendship points. And Holy shit. I need to write more TCOL fic when I have the time.

Back to actual story reactingPshhh, Naru, keeping secrets about the case never works out well.

Mai, he HAS to single you out because you're the only one present who ignores that rule (or is that fanon?). I know Masako famously ignores it at the Urado case but anyone else? Hmmmm.

And MAI! Right off the bat not mentioning things? Geez, she picks up Naru's worst habits. You're supposed to tell your crew when you hear someone whisper "leave us alone".

Also I keep laughing. So many things could be less anxious of Mai if Naru just... Communicated like a human.

Oof at Naru maybe being concerned and then waving it off as a problem for another floor. But at the same time-NARU! STOP BEING SO SMUG ABOUT HER FALLING. next time you won't be there and you won't be so smug, huh!?

That's an excellent question. How they were allowed to sleep for that long. I half expected the boys to be facing similar waking problems. But there they are. Awake. Hmmm.

Seriously why weren't they woken up after they discovered the bloody writing? Also surprised it wasn't cleaned but I guess with no little girls to be scared, there's no need?

Go Mai for catching the writing differences. Something she would recognize over Naru as a native Japanese speaker/writer. Good for her. But also bad on her for most mentioning the girl she keeps getting flashes of.

"You could take me on a date." yo, mai, you are so lucky that Naru can't read minds. But he can read your expressions so don't think things like that, omg.

Bou, you say the place is creepy but you literally haven't experienced anything yet. Jeez. What a Crybaby

Naru can't be such a hypocrite about Mai hiding things when he hid the case from them. But that also begs the question: why hide the specifics in the first place?

Wait so she passed out and disappeared before anyone could catch her? Oh no! Where'd she gooooooo?

"and didn't saying her name just hurt almost as much as hearing her scream had?" JESUS, SHELL! You're gonna make me cry. Stop that

"now that you mention it, I can feel several spirits here" Masako! You didn't... Think... To mention that earlier? What kind of medium are you?

What is it about being in some unfamiliar or spooky place that makes you feel the need to call out "hello?" just something to chew on, ahaha

"I did not realise that you were one of us..." so I'll guess is that these were psychics that were killed?

Wow Baillie, wait a few lines and you'll get the answer to your questions.

Poor kids. At least Naru has his memory screwed on properly. Properly enough to even (sort of) praise bou for figuring out the bookcase.

Very sweet that she helped them move on.

"be careful that it doesn't sweep you away" no wait, I'm emo again.

And THEN be careful was mirrored with Akane? NO, NOW I'M SAD. Maybe sad isn't the right word. But I'm havi g forlorn feelings! Ahh!

We've reached the end! Will ffnet cut me off before I can finish this review? Who knows? This was great! A small little case all wrapped up with a little bit of intrigue at the end. I loved it! Thank you for your hard work!

Holy moly, what a ride! I'm glad they worked everything out in the end though

Ooo I love this!
