SR V1 Epilogue
July 17th was a national holiday. Kei spent the day doing absolutely nothing. That is, nothing aside from meeting with Haruki to make a new save. The rain started before noon, giving way to thunderstorms, before calming down around evening. The next day signaled the start of the rainy season. And so began July 18th.…
SR V1 Chapter 3 Part 6
6 – July 16th (Sunday) – A new day July 16th, Sunday. Kei found a contrail dividing the clear blue sky. It seemed to him that he didn’t find as many contrails in the sky as he did when he was younger. Perhaps the jets that made such trails weren’t used as often anymore. But…

5 Kei left the coffee shop, and headed for the shrine. He recalled his first meeting with Nonō Seika. Two resets later, and they had finally reached a timeline where it was later in the day of their initial introduction. A stall that had been in construction each previous visit was now selling takoyaki. Kei…

4 Suddenly, Kei’s cell phone rang, breaking through the languid atmosphere. The display read, “Minami-san.” Kei answered the call, still lying down. “Hey there, Asai-kun,” came Minami’s voice. “What’s up?” “By the time I get to you, I’ll probably feel like lying. I figured it’d be best to have our conversation now.” Her voice was…

3 As soon as they all left the coffee shop, Tsushima split off. Murase had asked Kei and Haruki to go with her, so they walked side-by-side behind her. “Are you all right?” Haruki whispered softly. “If we get near any river beds, we’ll make a break for it,” Kei whispered back. He was joking,…

2 – July 15th (Saturday) – Starting point (third time) Saturday morning was heralded by Tomoki’s voice. Being the third run through, Kei was well used to it. The world was, as ever, sunny and bright. The weather wasn’t subject to last night’s dreams, after all. When Kei arrived at the coffee shop for the…

Chapter 3 – Sunday’s Conclusion 1 – July 13th (Thursday) – Two days ago (again) “July 13th, 12:59:15.” Just as always, Haruki was reading out the time as she saved. Kei used his ability to remember the last five minutes. Immediately, he covered his right hand. There was no blood, no scar. But his body…

9 “Come with me,” was all Murase said. First there was the cat, then Minami’s death, and now Murase was showing up. She was such a wild card that Kei didn’t want to take any chances with her, so he decided to go along with her demands. They followed her down the street, across a…
SR V1 Chapter 2 Part 8
8 – July 15th (Saturday) – Starting point Kei’s last memory was the hands of the clock ticking just past 4 AM, before he was finally taken by sleep. Then, on that very Saturday morning, July 15th, he was awoken by Nakano Tomoki’s voice. Good morning, Kei! From your perspective, this was sent to you…
SR V1 Chapter 2 Part 7
7 That night, Kei turned off his lights, jumped into bed, and closed his eyes, thinking through all the activities of the day. Between the cat, Murase Youka, and everything else, he doubted the day could have been any more eventful. Just as he was trying to discern what it all meant, he heard something…
