Entertainment: You're asked to make a healing animation, but it will make the whole internet de

Yoshino Yusuke's words sent a chill down the spines of Okazaki Tomoya and Furukawa Nagisa.

The world seemed to have been muted in an instant.

All sound disappeared.

Tomoya's mind went blank; he stared blankly at what was in front of him.

The girl named Fuuko was standing in front of Ibuki-sensei.

Her face still wore an expectant and silly smile, as if she was waiting for her sister's praise.

Ms. Ibuki looked at Tomoya with a sad and confused expression, completely ignoring her younger sister in front of her.

"She...she's right here!"

Tomoya's voice also became hoarse. Almost instinctively, he reached out to grab Fuuko's shoulder to prove her presence.

However, his hand passed through without any hindrance.

It was like passing through a cloud of air.

Tomoya's body suddenly stiffened.

An indescribable chill rose up.

Fengzi, standing to the side, seemed completely unaware of what had happened.

The smile on her face slowly disappeared, and she tilted her head, looking at her sister and brother-in-law, whose expressions were pained.

Looking at Tomoya, who was frozen in place, and Nagisa, who was about to cry, he muttered to himself in a low voice.

"That's strange, Fuuko is definitely right here..."

"Sister...why don't you pat Fuuko's head?"

This innocent murmur became the final blow that pierced everyone.

Nagisa could no longer hold back; she covered her mouth, and tears silently streamed down her face.

......

On the internet, the barrage of comments that was originally full of laughter and joy suddenly froze.

A few seconds later, a barrage of question marks flooded the entire screen.

【? ? ? ? ? ? 】

[Holy crap? Did I hear that right?]

[Unconscious? Then what was that Fengzi we'd been watching for so long? A ghost?]

[Don't scare me, you old rascal Su! What happened to the sweet and innocent romance?! Where's my knife?!]

The audience was completely stunned.

One second it was a heartwarming comedy that made people laugh until their stomachs hurt.

The next second, the tone suddenly shifts, turning into a chilling suspense story.

No one can accept this fact.

But what happened next forced everyone to accept it.

From that day on, the unseen attributes of Fengzi began to become more and more pronounced.

At first, they were just passersby.

Gradually, even Sunohara Youhei, who had interacted with her quite a bit and had even been pranked by her, began to ignore her.

One time, Tomoya pulled Sunohara aside, pointed to Fuuko making a face in front of him, and asked him what he saw.

Sunohara just scratched his head, seemingly puzzled.

"There's nothing there! Why are you pointing at thin air? Are you possessed?"

Even more frightening is that even Tomoya and Nagisa's memories of Fuuko are beginning to become blurred.

They would suddenly forget why they came to the art classroom in the first place.

Looking at the half-carved starfish in my hand, I can't remember what I'm trying to do.

It was as if an invisible hand was slowly erasing Ibuki Fuuko's existence from their world.

Time is running out.

Ibuki-sensei's wedding is this weekend.

One evening.

Nagisa looked at Fuuko, who was alone and still desperately carving a starfish while muttering blessings for her sister, and finally made a decision.

She wiped away her tears, took Tomoya's hand, and spoke with an unprecedentedly firm tone.

"Let's hold a wedding for Ibuki-sensei at school!"

"Right here, let Fuko personally deliver her blessings to her sister!"

Thus began a race against forgetting.

In their final moments, they invited everyone who still vaguely remembered Fengzi.

The number of people is pitifully small.

Only Tomoya, Nagisa, and Sunohara, who was forcibly dragged along and looked completely bewildered, were present.

On the wedding day.

The sun was shining brightly on the campus of Hikari-zaka High School.

Ibuki-sensei and Yoshino Yusuke were invited to the school by Tomoya and Nagisa under the pretext that the drama club needed help.

They were stunned when they saw the classroom, simply decorated with balloons and ribbons.

Tomoya and Nagisa handed out the carved starfish to them one by one.

"This is a gift from Fuko to everyone."

"Nagisa said, her eyes red."

Ms. Ibuki stroked the rough wooden carving; although she couldn't see it, she could feel it.

I could feel my sister's clumsy yet passionate feelings.

She could no longer hold back her tears.

"Fūko, thank you..."

Just then, Fengzi, who was wearing a wedding dress she had made from a bed sheet and had been standing by watching all this, revealed an extremely satisfied smile.

She walked up to her sister, stood on tiptoe, as if she wanted to hug her.

"Congratulations, sister."

"I must become the happiest person in the world."

Sunlight streamed through the window and fell upon her.

Her body began to become transparent.

"Ah, Tomoya, Nagisa, Sunohara, goodbye."

She waved, just as energetically as when they first met.

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes.

Like a drop of water merging into the ocean, it smiled and disappeared into the warm sunlight.

In the classroom, only three people remained, each holding a starfish wood carving that was emitting a soft glow.

……

The office of Healing Animation was completely silent.

All that could be heard were intermittent sobs.

Even the strongest male employee had red eyes and was desperately wiping away tears.

Shen Qingyue's face was already covered in tears.

But this time, she felt no fear or unease, only an indescribable, warm, bittersweet feeling.

She watched as Tomoya and Nagisa exchanged a smile, witnessing this small miracle together.

She seemed to understand a little better what Su Bai meant by "cured".

She turned her head and looked at the man who had calmly watched everything from beginning to end.

Su Bai handed over a tissue, a slight smile on his lips.

"You see, this is also a form of healing."

Just then, Su Bai's phone rang.

It was Li He, the director of the TV station, who called.

As soon as the call connected, Li He's furious, tearful roar came through the phone.

"Su Bai! You old scoundrel Su! I'll curse your grandpa!"

"You call this pure, innocent love?!"

"I just brewed a cup of top-quality Da Hong Pao tea! And it's all wasted on tissues!"
