Shadows of the Past and New Secrets

After Joceka vanished following the battle with Haru the Present, she whispered to him:"I am always by your side."A deep sadness overwhelmed Haru the Present, the weight of loss and betrayal heavy upon his heart.Outside the White Room, and after defeating Haru the Future, Haru met a girl named Noa. She remarked that he resembled Joceka greatly because her shadow emanated from Haru himself.They got to know each other, but Noa quickly rushed off to save people from strange monsters that embodied the tragedies of everyone suffering from the syndrome.Before leaving, Haru noticed someone inside Noa—a strange feeling that he seemed to recognize... it was Monica, Joceka’s sister.Haru had not known before that Joceka and Monica were sisters. Noa also revealed that she had an imaginary character named Monica, just like Haru had Joceka.Noa asked Haru to help save the people with her, but he refused, believing that Joceka had never saved him before.Noa went ahead on her mission, while Haru sat atop a tall building, watching anxiously.He saw a fire break out and remembered that Joceka had burned in the past, and so had he. He realized they both burned together—he in reality and Joceka in the imaginary world—to ease his own pain.Haru rushed to Noa’s location to fight the monsters and save the people. With incredible speed, sharp reflexes, and keen observation, he destroyed all the monsters in the fire zone and protected both Noa and the humans from disaster.
