The scene starts with Basil and his friends standing around his hospital bed.

But one was missing. Sunny was missing.

The blond haired boy woke up

,,Ah! You finally woke up. Are you feeling alright, Basil?", a tall, brown haired figure asked him, Hero.

Yawn ,,Yes, I think so... thanks for asking", the said boy gently smiled.

Time went by as they chatted, relieved that Basil was okay.

,,Where is Sunny, by the way? I-is he okay?", Basil questioned in a slightly worried tone.

His friends were a bit surprised, as the question came out of the blue, but they were wondering the same thing.

Where is Sunny?

,,Well... it's just his.. you know, eye that has been hurt. But other than that, the doctors said that he can leave the hospital soon!!", Kel said with an upbeat tone.

Basil was not quite satisfied with the answer, so he stood up and walked to the door of his room.

,,H-hey! Are you sure you can walk? You still need to rest", Hero claimed.

,,I-i think so.. I just want to make sure that Sunny really is okay", Basil responded, still in a worried tone.

,, If you're going to fall over while walking, then I'm not the one to catch you, got it?", Aubrey added.

All of them chuckled a bit

As they arrived to their destination, they saw the boy named Sunny still sleeping in his bed.

*So he was fine after all* 

Basil sighed in relief.

The scene changes to Sunny, who was in a dark, eerie red-ish space with a lot of hands in the background. One pair of hands forming a throne.

Sunny, with his violin in hand, was fighting against Omori. Who had a knife.

Sunny has been hit and stabbed by Omori multiple times.

He was able to heal himself and stand right back up.

It didn't even hurt him.

He didn't feel any pain whatsoever.

It felt more like a soft pinch.

Of course Omori never had the intention of hurting Sunny.

He just wanted to protect him from the truth.

He was able to do it for about four years, and so he will continue doing so.

But this time something went wrong.

Omori once again stabbed Sunny, knowing that Sunny will stand right back up.

But this time he didn't.

Sunny's eyes went dull, lifeless, just like a dead person's eyes.

Letting go of his violin, he fell to the ground, bleeding out of his stomach.

As soon as Omori realized what had happened, his eyes widened, running to the bleeding boy.

*No* he thought.

*No no no no no NO! This can't be happening!* 

He was worried, no, panicking.

,,..Omori...."

His last words.

They pained Omori's heart.

Why had they have to be his name?

*I-it's going to be fine....right...?

He's not actually dead..right?

This is all just a dream to Sunny.

He will wake up eventually...

Right....?*

Omori cried as he held the dead boy in his arms, hoping that Sunny will come back. 

Hoping that this all a stupid prank.

But it wasn't.

Sunny didn't wake up.

Sunny didn't come back.

He was just laying in Omori's arms.

Omori hugged the deceased boy tightly, still crying.

Crying in fear that Sunny would never come back.

He was now covered in Sunny's blood, he didn't mind, though.

But he knew he had to clean himself up after a while.

He hated thinking about it.

He just wants to stay with Sunny, forever.

He refused to let go of the boy, but soon Sunny's body faded into ashes, and all that was left of his was his violin.

Omori was all alone now.

He was afraid to not be able to see Sunny again.

Still crying, he got up and took the remaining violin with him to White Space.

Back in the real world, Basil, Kel, Hero, and Aubrey heard something coming from Sunny's sleeping body.

,,...omori...no....I- I'm..sorry... I'm sorry...omori.."

His body stiffened as he whispered those words.

They all wondered who this "Omori" was.

,,Is he sleep-talking?", Aubrey spoke.

,,Probably", Kel answered.

After that, Sunny jolted awake, immediately sitting up, eye wide open, as well as panting from what just happened.

Sunny then made a sound in pain, referring to his eye that was stabbed by Basil atleast a day ago.

,,Sunny! Please take it slow. Is everything alright?", Hero stated.

The said boy nodded, but everyone could see that Sunny was worried about something.

,,H-hey. You were just.. umm talking in your sleep, saying sorry to someone named Omori.. did something happen in your dream?", Basil mentioned quietly.

Everyone was shocked, not knowing that Basil would bring it up.

Sunny sighed.

*right.. it's just a dream.... I will be able to visit Omori again tonight*

But he was wrong.

For some reason, Sunny didn't dream anything that night.

He couldn't believe it.

He was scared, knowing that Omori was crying over his dead body and is all alone as of now.

What if he won't be able to dream again?

What if he won't be able to visit Omori again and tell him that everything's alright?

What if?

Sunny broke down, crying.

Crying in worry, crying in fear.

How long has it been since Sunny wasn't able to dream again?

Maybe a week?

Omori knew it has been a week since the incident.

He has locked himself up in White Space since then.

All of his friends were worried about him.

The had always visited trying to get him out of his room.

Even his sister, Mari, tried, but he just wouldn't come out.

No he couldn't come out.

Not until Sunny came back.

He refused to believe that Sunny would never come back.

Omori wanted to kill himself.

He felt so miserable. 

But he knew that he would just wake up in White Space again.

In this world no one is able to die.

It's like a blessing and a curse at the same time.

He just wanted to be with Sunny again.

He wants to make sure that Sunny is doing alright.

He wants to make sure that Sunny is safe.

He wants to protect Sunny.

Meanwhile Sunny is still crying.

No one there to comfort him as nobody has visited him today.

No one had forgiven him after telling his friends the truth.

The only one that looked forgiving was Kel, but Aubrey and Hero were mad at him for keeping it a secret for so long as well as faking Mari's death as a suicide.

Of course Sunny expected this outcome and didn't mind it that much.

The only thing he cares about as of now is Omori.

He hopes that this time, he will be able to dream and see Omori again.

He cares about and loves Omori dearly.

He just wanted to be with Omori again.

He wants to make sure that Omori is doing alright.

He wants to make sure that Omori is safe.

He wants to protect Omori.

As the moonlight finally hit his eye, he made sure to smile at the moon for Omori and went to sleep.

Sunny opened his eyes.

*I.... did it..

I did it?

I did it! I'm dreaming again!

I'm in White Space!*

Sunny was so happy.

So excited.

So relieved.

He stood up and faced the door that leads to neighbor's room.

In front of the door he saw Omori, hugging his legs.

He sits down next to the other boy and went to place his hand on the other's shoulder.

Omori flinched, looking up to his left wondering who it was.

Sunny was quite surprised to be met with a very tired face.

It looked like Omori hasn't slept at all.

Omori's eyes widened as he saw the familiar look-alike.

He couldn't believe his eyes.

He started crying and hugged Sunny tightly.

Of course Sunny didn't turn down the favor and hugged Omori back.

They were both so glad to see eachother again.

The end.
