Chapter 122.2

Bound Hearts (2) (こころのむすびめ②, Kokoro no Musubime) is the second part of the 122nd chapter of the To Your Eternity manga.

Summary
Yuki arrives at school and is ecstatic to tell his fellow club members about the new people living at his house. However, his good mood is quickly shut down when he sees Mizuha's mother in the club room. He asks what's the matter and Hanna explains that Mizuha has been gone for two days. Yuki is completely frozen for a moment, and just as he begins to fall over, he dashes out of the room, crying out that he'll go look for her.

Meanwhile, Fushi sits on the veranda of the Aoki family's house and wonders why Yuki is late. Aiko, who just came by with a laundry basket, explains that he often stays late for his club and remarks that it looks like it will rain soon.

At the same time, the Occult Research Club members are running around looking for Yuki, who left everyone else behind when he ran away to look for Mizuha. They find him in a small clearing, where he is shouting Mizuha's name over and over. As they call out to him, he turns around and shows his face, scrunched up, and overflown with tears from crying. When the others ask him why he is searching the mountain area and not the business district in the city, Yuki explains that he saw her head towards the mountains two days ago. Yuki asks Hanna if she has any clue since they are close, which Hanna denies but then looks down. Yuki asks if maybe something happened at school, to which Hanna tells him about the accident during field day practice. The two other club members suggest to split up and check the mountain area. While they are searching, it begins to rain heavily.

At the Aoki family's house, Kazumitsu is starting to get worried because Yuki still hasn't returned home. Aiko points out that Yuki was even supposed to get their groceries today and Fushi worries about their dinner. Kazumitsu decides to check by car. Gugu suggests to contact him by phone, but Aiko explains that they can't bring them to school. (It's also revealed Gugu has his own smartphone that he got in Takunaha)

Fushi thinks for a moment and then stands up to reconnect his rope to the ground in order to search for Yuki's footsteps. Meanwhile, a car speeds by Yuki, causing him to tumble down and find himself with a scar across his forehead. Fushi has trouble recognizing Yuki's footsteps, making Aiko wonder if there is any other way to find Yuki.

Because of Yuki's new cut from falling down (and the pain that came with it), Fushi is able to promptly appear behind Yuki. Fushi wipes the blood off of Yuki's forehead and tells him to go home, but Yuki stops him and explains that he's been looking for a missing girl. Fushi states that he can't find someone he doesn't know, but Yuki points out that it's possible because she hurt her ankle. Fushi remembers that he met Mizuha before as he hears her name and agrees to look for her and send her home. Shortly after, a light flares up in the distance.

The setting switches to a small room filled with books. Mizuha is sitting on the floor between a couple of scattered books. She notices something and as he looks up, she sees a black figure sitting on a narrow bookshelf.
