Misaki had been lucky so far, the hand book didn't specify that you couldn't add a slip under the skirt, so she had (a white one with lace that hung out around the edges) and they didn't say you couldn't wear a shirt that had ruffles or add a scarf around your neck to make the shirt look more high collared (which she had since it looked better when the collar looked higher). She only wished that she could lenghten the jacket but that had to stay the lenght it was, and would look silly to wear anything under it. So she'd gone to get the black jacket she'd put in her shoe locker after school and was suprised to find the sketchbook sitting there.
"Huh?" Misaki gently lifted it out with the jacket and put the jacket over her arm as she examined the bracelet. She recognized it at once but wasn't sure what to make of it. Her first thought though was that this was the final act. That Maeko was giving this back to her as a way of saying good-bye.
The note was a scibbled mess, but she was able to make out a room number and placed the sketchbook under her arm. Walking up the stairs to the room Misaki felt a bit ill. She wanted to run away but if she did then the shadow would have been right. And she needed to face this and grow a spine. She placed the bracelt into her jacket pocket before placing her hand on the door.
