Chapter 124.2

Mizuha (2) (みずは②, Mizuha) is the first part of the 124th chapter of the To Your Eternity manga.

Summary
Mizuha feels much better after having found a new "goal" to work towards. All her insecurities feel like nothing in comparison. However, while shopping with Hanna and enjoying the "random fleeting moments," she spots the hair tie her mother gave her that morning at a shop. She realizes her mother lied about it being a childhood treasure, when in fact it's actually a cheap, mass-produced, hair tie.

As she walks home from the mall, she pulls the hair tie out and then blanks out.

Next thing she knows, she wakes up to the ringing of her phone. It's now night and she's sitting in the entryway of her home. She wonders when she got home. She picks up her phone and her father tells her that he's going to spend the night at her aunt's since she broke her leg. He tells Mizuha and her mother to go ahead and eat without him.

Mizuha relays the information out loud to her mother and goes to press the hang-up button, when she sees she's holding a bloody knife. She gasps and drops the knife and calls out to her mother. Mizuha stumbles around and finds her mother's bloody body in the dining room. Mizuha begins to freak out but realizes her hands are covered in blood. She runs out of the house in panic.

Mizuha runs through a grassy and dirt path and suddenly trips, her face streaming with tears. She wonders what happened and realizes she should call her father, but realizes she doesn't have her phone with her. She wonders why she ran away but can't seem to remember anything. She hears the girl's from her grade talking nearby and she quickly hides behind a bush.

Mizuha clutches her face and wonders if she killed her mother and begs for someone to help her. Suddenly, Fushi appears before her and asks why she couldn't have ask one of her beloved friends for help before it came to this. Mizuha looks up and Fushi asks if there's anything he can do for her. She immediately stops crying and smiles and asks Fushi to be her friend.
