Notes: This takes place in episode 136, during Brron vs. Juudai.
“Manjoume-kun!” Asuka had to be seeing things. She didn’t want this to be true. Manjoume could not have just vanished! He couldn’t have just died! No!
Her breath caught in her throat. This was all Juudai’s fault. If he weren’t so insistent on finding Johan and if they hadn’t all wanted to follow him, then Manjoume-kun would still be alive! They would all stay alive!
Manjoume-kun. He couldn’t be dead. This was a nightmare worse than anything she couldn’t remember from the year before.
A thousand memories shot through her mind, each tinged with the grief that replaced blood in her veins. She’d forgotten how much time they spent with one another over the last few years.
Tears stung at her eyes but she didn’t let them fall. She didn’t know why; she was certainly sad enough to. But all she wanted now was for this nightmare to end. She wanted to be back at Duel Academia, perhaps in one of Satou-sensei’s boring classes, so long as Manjoume were still alive and they were anywhere but here.
Here, in this horrible place where Juudai only cared about himself and had just sacrificed one of his friends for no reason at all. Was that what they meant to him? Was that what Manjoume, his rival from the first time they met, meant to him?
At least he was trying to not kill them all right now. Trying and failing, and it was still his fault, and why hadn’t he listened to any of them, and dying hurt!
Asuka had never thought about any kind of an afterlife. Death was something that happened to other people. Pain was all that filled her mind now, along with one vague hope: perhaps on the other side, wherever that was, she would see Manjoume-kun again.
