3rd person's POV:

"No more time left...? Wha... What does that mean!? Hanako! Mary-senpai!
(A/N:He admires her kindness, but it dosent mean he likes her in a way he likes Yashiro)

"It means just what it sounds like, young man" A voice replied as he patted Kou's head, Kou returned to his regular self

"WHOOOAAA!?" Kou yelled "we wouldnt have to deal with any of this if you were here from the start..." Akane glared "you really are twisted..."

"Kako.." Akane said "Ho-ho-ho... please. I am never late" Kako replied "Because all I have to do is turn back time, and everything returns to its former state." Kako replied "turn back time...? You mean he's the third...!?" Kou exclaimed

"Yes. The Clock Keeper who governs the past. He has the power to turn back time. He's kind of our leader. Since he was the oldest." Akane explained

"So you... call him Kako because it means past?" Kou asked "who cares what the supernaturals names are? Anyway..."

"Isnt there something you should be more concerned about, under-classman?" Akane asked "Oh, yeah!"

Kou went towards the scene

Mary hugging Yashiro's lifeless body, crying and Hanako trying to calm her down

"Shh, Mary, its going to be okay--"
"No its not!" Mary cried "Mary, its going to be alright" Hanako patted her back. Mary had quiet down after being comforted by Hanako

"Senpai... what happened to her...? Come on, Hanako! Explain whats going on!!" Kou exclaimed

Hanako continued to pat Mary's head to comfort her. "...this... this is why I told you to not let the future clock keeper touch Yashiro. I told you to be careful." Hanako said

Kou stared at him with his wide light-blue eyes

"...But... its not like I or Mary managed to stop her either. So i cant really blame you."

Hanako convinced Mary to put Yashiro against the wall so Mary's arms can rest. Hanako patted Yashiro's head. And turned to Kou and the others

"Its simple!" Hanako chirped. "She tried moving Yashiro's time forward...But Yashiro dosent have enough time to move forward." Hanako explained

"Yashiro is going to die. Within the next year" Hanako simply replied

"What...? HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT!? AND HOW LONG HAVE YOU KNOWN...!!?" Kou shouted "how long?" Hanako questioned

"...from the begining?" Hanako answered "the begining... you mean..."
Kou was interupted "Just so you know... its not because I tied her fate with mine, okay?" Hanako said

"First of all, only people who're the far shore can summon me to begin with. Someone born with a powerful, sixth sense like you... or... someone whose death isnt far off"

"Y-you...! How can you say that? Your acting like its nothing!" Kou exclaimed "What? Okay, then"

"How am I suppose to act?" Hanako said darkly "You're going to die soon... But live life the fullest until then, 'Kay!?" Hanako said

"Like that?" Hanako replied "is that what I should've said?" Hanako questioned Kou

"I dont know what you think of me, kid... but Im already dead. So if someone else is going to live or die..." Hanako sat in the floor "...It makes no difference to me" Hanako replied and smiled. Kou was angry and grabbed Hanako's collar "WHY, YOU...!!"

"IF YOU REALLY MEAN THAT, I'LL MAKE YOU PAY!!" Kou shouted

Akane tched "Under-classman,  That's just supernaturals are. By definition, They're different from us" Akane replied "He dosent actually care about you, or about Yashiro-san" Akane said "But I was being considerent in my own way, wasnt I?" Hanako asked

"I've done what I could... to make sure Yashiro enjoy the time she has left. Thats what I've been doing... and what I'll keep doing..." Hanako replied.

Kou then turned to Mary "Y-You care about Senpai.. dont you?" Kou asked. "Of course I do! Im her Aunt!" Mary yells, then covers her mouth

"A-Aunt?" The room was filled with silence "Yes.. Im her Aunt" Mary said "A year after I died.. My parents were expecting another child and they have my baby brother...

When he grew older, he met Yashiro's mother and they started to date. My parents didnt approve and so, he ran away to start his life with Yashiro's mother. And gave birth to my neice" Mary explained. "I made a deal with... someone. And I have been asleep for 10 years.. If my neice die, I'll disappear along with her."

The room was filled with silence. "Clock keepers!" Hanako said "yes?" Kako replied "turn the school's time back" Kako agreed and turns the school's time back and Kou has been imformed that he'll forget everything, he declared that he will never give up and will save Yashiro, Akane joins the chat.

"Excuse me, mind if I butt in?" Akane asked before grabbing Hanako's collar, threw him in a rainbow style, and crash him in the ground

Hanako, Kou, and Mary were left confused and shocked "YESSSS!!!!" Akane yelled, Mirai cheering him on

After all the explanation and talks. Akane pauses Kou's time so Kou wont be affected by the backward motion
And the school's time has gone back to normal

Mary's POV:

I hummed as I hummed the plants "Hmm~ Hmmm~" I hummed happily "Hey, Mary" I regcognized the voice "Hello, Hanako" I greeted back

"Since when did you remember that your Yashiro's aunt?" Hanako asked "A few years since I was awaken from my 10-year-coma" Mary replied

Hanako floated beside Mary "So, when are you going to tell her?" Hanako asked. I thought for a while "When I get rid of the flowers in my face" I replied. Hanako muttered something "hm? Whats that you said?"

"I-I said 'When are you going to cut the flowers?'!!" Hanako replied. I noticed that his cheeks are red. "Hanako, do ghost have temperatures?" I asked "u-um, no. Why you ask?" Hanako asked

"Your cheeks are red" Hanako's face gone even more red "Im sorry! I-i gotta go!!" And left in a hurry

Hanako sure is weird, but I might as well water my plants

Hanako's POV:

"So when are you going to tell her?" I asked, Mary was silent "When I get rid of the flowers in my face" She answered. "When? I want to see your pretty face" I muttered "Hm? Whats that?" Mart asked

"I-I said 'When are you going to cut the flowers?'!!" I replied quickly. She looked at me "Hanako, do ghost have temperatures?" Mary asked "um, N-no, why you ask?" I asked "your cheeks are red" she simply answered

I feel my face got even more red, "Im sorry! I-I gotta go!!" And I fled to the school rooftop

'W-why i did i say that!?' I thought. I managed to calm myself down 'Hanako, your cheeks are red" I felt my cheeks go red

"Did i really said that?" I whispered
