Lilium University was the kind of place people dreamed about attending. Its grand marble buildings overlooked the city, its gardens bloomed year-round, and its halls were always filled with students. When your acceptance letter arrived, you thought it was the beginning of a bright future.

You were right.

Just not in the way you expected.

You met Yukari during your first semester. She was a quiet girl with violet eyes and messy purple hair who somehow always seemed to be nearby. At first it was small things. Sitting beside you during lectures. Meeting you at the library. Sharing lunch between classes. Before long, the two of you became inseparable.

You studied together, walked through the gardens together, and spent countless hours talking. Being around her felt natural. Comfortable. Like she had always belonged beside you.

One sunny day inside of the classroom, Yukari suddenly looked at you with that same lovely blush and that gentle smile and said.

"You won't leave me, right?"

You laughed softly.

"Of course not."

A beautiful smile spread across her face.

"Good. Because I'll never let you go."

At the time, it sounded sweet.

Maybe even romantic.

As the months passed, Yukari grew closer and closer to you. She held your hand whenever she could, always wanted to know where you were, and seemed strangely bothered whenever another girl got too friendly. Still, she always smiled.

Then one afternoon at the silent hallway, she confessed.

"I love you."

The words came out so quickly they almost stumbled over each other.

You smiled.

"I love you too."

For a moment she looked frozen. Then she gently cupped your cheeks with like you were already her world with the happiest and the most tender smile ever.

From that day onward, the two of you were together. Dates by the sea. Festivals. Movies. Endless conversations. Some of the happiest months of your life.

And throughout it all, Yukari kept repeating the same things.

"I'll never let you go."

"No one will ever come between us."

"You belong with me."

Every time she smiled afterward, so you never thought much about it.

Then one day, everything changed.

A message appeared on your phone.

Come to the university. I need you.

Something felt wrong immediately.

Still, you went.

The campus was silent. No students. No voices. No laughter. Only an unnatural stillness hanging over the grounds.

Inside the main building, dark red stains covered the floors, walls, and staircases. Your stomach dropped.

Then came footsteps.

Slow.

Calm.

Unhurried.

Yukari emerged from the darkness.

Her clothes were stained red. One hand rested behind her back. Yet despite everything surrounding her, she smiled.

"There you are."

"What happened here?"

Yukari tilted her head.

"I fixed everything."

"What?"

"The girls."

She took a step forward.

"The girls who talked to you."

Another step.

"The girls who smiled at you."

Another.

"The girls who looked at you."

Your blood ran cold.

"There were eight of them."

"No..."

Yukari's smile widened.

"They won't bother us anymore."

The hallway suddenly felt smaller. Colder.

She slowly extended her hand toward you, just like she always had.

"Come here."

Her voice softened.

"Now it's just you and me."

"No interruptions."

"No rivals."

"No one standing between us."

Then she smiled brighter than ever.

"I removed all the boulders between us."

Before you could respond, sirens echoed through the building. Someone had survived. Someone had called the police.

Within minutes officers flooded the hallway. They shouted commands, rushed forward, and surrounded Yukari. Yet she never looked at them.

Only at you.

Even as they handcuffed her.

Even as they led her away.

Outside, flashing red and blue lights illuminated the university grounds. Students gathered behind barriers, crying and staring in disbelief.

As she was being led by the two police officers towards the police car, Yukari suddenly stopped and turned around.

Her eyes searched the crowd.

Until they found you.

The same loving smile appeared on her face.

The same smile from your first date.

The same smile from her confession.

The same smile from every happy memory.

"Don't worry."

Her voice was quiet.

"I'll come back."

The officers guided her toward the vehicle, but she kept looking at you.

"I told you."

Her smile never faded.

"I'll never let you go."

The car door closed.

The sirens disappeared into the distance.

And Yukari vanished into the night.

Yet her final smile remained burned into your memory.

Not angry.

Not cruel.

Just patient.

As though, in her mind, this wasn't the end of your story.

Only an intermission.

Four months passed after the tragedy at Lilium University. The campus eventually reopened, classes resumed, and students slowly returned to their routines. Life moved forward, at least on the surface. The media stopped talking about Yukari. The investigation ended. People tried to forget.

One rainy evening, you sat alone in your apartment with a newspaper resting beside a half-finished cup of coffee. The sound of rain tapped softly against the windows as you flipped through the pages without much interest.

Then a headline caught your eye.

LILIUM UNIVERSITY CASE: YUKARI SAITŌ RELEASED ON BAIL

Your heart stopped.

You immediately began reading. According to the article, Yukari had been released following legal proceedings and had reportedly left the country shortly afterward. Authorities believed she had relocated overseas. Her exact whereabouts were unknown.

You read the article twice.

Then a third time.

Gone.

Another country.

Another life.

The article made it sound final.

Like the story was finally over.

You folded the newspaper and leaned back in your chair. The apartment felt strangely quiet. Only the rain remained.

Then came a knock.

Knock.

You frowned and glanced toward the front door.

Another knock followed.

Knock. Knock.

Nobody was supposed to be visiting.

Especially this late.When it was raining outside

The knocking came again.

Slow.

Patient.

Almost gentle.

You stood from your chair and walked toward the door. The silence inside the apartment suddenly felt overwhelming.

Looking through the peephole, you saw nothing.

Only an empty hallway.

For a moment, confusion replaced your fear.

Then something moved.

A figure standing just outside your field of view.

The knocking stopped.

Silence followed.

Several long seconds passed.

Then a familiar voice drifted through the door.

Soft.

Warm.

Affectionate.

"Darling?"

Your blood turned to ice.

A quiet laugh followed.

One you recognized immediately.

The same laugh from university gardens.

The same laugh from seaside dates.

The same laugh from the night everything fell apart.

You couldn't move.

You couldn't breathe.

Then came a whisper.

"I told you..."

A pause followed.

Then her voice returned.

"I'll never let you go."

The apartment fell silent.

And the doorknob slowly began to turn.
