AmyNChan: Okay, first things first! If this looks similar to Snavej's writing, then know there is a reason for that.

Snavej: Yeah she's a total copycat! LOL joking I told her to use it. She had a better idea than mine so I made her do the thing. I totally gave her permission to use my work to create a piece of Angst in the hope that our combined efforts would make you all cry. She bullied me into agreeing to this by forcing me to listen to say something and now I'm crying

AmyNChan: Good! Ehehe! XD Neither of us own Ghost Hunt!

Snavej: Nope!

Dear Mai,

I could never have predicted I would write something like this, but this is the only way I can reliably express what I want you to know.

I am not sure if you were aware of the level of my concern regarding my brother's condition. After you had shared his behavior a month ago, I have spent my personal time looking for a solution; a way - for want of a more scientific word - to force him to move on.

I have determined the solution, and written the beginnings of a research paper on the matter. I have left it on the desktop of my work computer under the title of 'Two halves of a whole' and request that if possible, you could write up the results as I will no longer be available to do so. Though you may require Lin or Madoka's assistance for the translation to English. I am sure they will oblige, given the circumstances.

I could never have said the things I will write now to you in person.

I have always considered you a valued member of the team. I have written a reference for you and passed it on to my superiors in England. Should the Japanese branch of SPR close in the near future, it should secure you a place on one of the teams at BSPR, should you wish to join them.

Before you begin to accuse me of not considering the rest of the team, I have passed on references for them too, though I do not believe they will require them as much as you might.

I hope you do not think it is too forward of me to say that I consider us friends, despite rarely meeting outside of work hours.

I once said that if people really knew what death was that no one would commit suicide. Strange how my words come back to haunt me now.

And I suppose, if it's my last chance to say it, Taniyama Mai, I—

Mai, I—

I can't say it. Can't even write it. What a prideful fool I am.

I wish you well for your life. Do not waste it.

Naru.

Her hands trembled as she cast the silly piece of paper aside. There was no way this was happening. He was just late to the terminal and she wanted to check in on him… Lin had been with Madoka and had given her the address.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

"Naru… this isn't right… wake up!"

She did not care that her surroundings were in shambles. Could not look at how messy and out of place everything and broken around her was, like a hurricane or typhoon had hit. The only important was this man in this room who was no longer breathing. Her hands clung uselessly to the front of his shirt, petrified at how chilly his skin had become.

"Naru… Naru!"

She shook him. Slapped his face. Her eyes filled with water. How could he…?

How could he just leave them all behind?

How could he leave her behind?

How could he…?

"Bastard!"


"This was how it was found?"

"Yeah. Nothing's been moved since this afternoon."

"And the people who found it?"

"The woman is in a lot of grief. The man is attempting to console her."

"What a thing to walk on…"

"As I understand it, they were close with the victims."

A sigh. "Well, let's get this over with."

AmyNChan: Ehee… I hope you guys enjoyed that! Special thanks to Snav for letting me use the suicide note and giving me the idea! *^_^* Please read and review!
