Writing Love Letters in the Enemy’s Toilet - A Vow of Eternal Love, Even After Rebirth (Transmigration) - Chapter 26
Kuno and Mitsutomo were immediately loaded into ambulances and rushed to the hospital.
Inside the ambulance, Kuno’s heart suddenly stopped beating — he went into full cardiac arrest.
Thanks to the paramedics’ desperate efforts, he barely regained a heartbeat, but his condition remained critical.
When they arrived at the hospital, a stretcher bearing Kuno was hurried down the corridor toward the operating room. Haruka stayed close beside him, clinging to the stretcher as she pleaded,
“Kuno, please don’t die!”
But just before the operating room doors, a nurse stopped her, saying,
“Only authorized personnel beyond this point!”
At those words, Haruka collapsed to the floor, powerless. She could do nothing but wait and weep before the doors, watching the red “In Operation” light that never turned off. With clasped hands, she prayed desperately:
“God… please, please save Kuno.”
How long had she been waiting? No matter how much time passed, the operation lamp remained lit.
As Haruka stared at that unwavering light, silently wishing for Kuno’s safety, the operating room doors suddenly burst open — a nurse rushed out, looking panicked.
Haruka immediately called out, “Kuno, is he—!?”
But the nurse didn’t respond, too frantic to stop, and sprinted down the corridor.
Moments later, the same nurse came running back in a hurry. Haruka rose to call to her, but the look on the nurse’s face froze the words in her throat. She could only watch helplessly as the nurse disappeared back through the operating room doors.
Haruka sank into a nearby chair, replaying the scene in her mind — the instant Kuno had been shot.
Why… why Kuno? The gun… it was pointed at him. But just as I thought I saw his back—he must have known… He knew I was the one about to be shot… Didn’t he? Wait—
Then she remembered — the folded note Kuno had pressed into her hand.
With trembling fingers, she opened the letter.
[To Haruka]
If you’re reading this letter, then… I guess it means I managed to find some courage after all.
When you said at the Jeffersonian, “Please, take me to my father,” an image flashed into my mind — you and Mr. Mitsutomo being rescued from some warehouse-like building, carried away in ambulances.
I took it as a sign: if we could just reach the place where Mitsutomo was being held, help would come.
I was worried, though — that I also saw you in that vision, being carried away in an ambulance.
So I decided to steer Nagata into taking us directly to Mitsutomo. It worked — he agreed.
I didn’t know exactly what would happen after that, but I knew this much: if I could just save you, it would all be worth it.
Then, when I saw you rushing toward your father, another vision hit me —
you, standing there, being shot in the chest, bl00d spilling as you collapsed.
I saw myself holding you, crying out helplessly…
And then I saw Mitsutomo, being rescued by an armed squad, loaded into an ambulance.
So, I knew — we’d reached the right place. All that was left was for me to gather the courage to stand before you. That moment… might be the one where I die. Hopefully, it won’t be fatal.
If by some miracle I make it out alive… please go on a date with me. But if I die, please don’t be sad. Don’t blame yourself. Your survival — it might just save humanity.
Trinity is Pandora’s Box.
It must never be opened.
That’s why… I’ve decided to be brave.
Even so, the Illuminati will move forward with their plan.
What I write next — please make sure to tell Mitsutomo. If he has undergone guided hypnosis, he should remember the location of the spaceship that first brought us to Earth in a previous life. Find it — and if possible, arrange to reproduce and launch as many ships as you can, as soon as you can.
Before the Illuminati’s plan begins, escape Earth.
I’m praying you make it in time.
And if I’m unlucky and don’t make it… I swear I’ll find you again, in the next life.
When I do — go on that date with me, okay?
With love,
From the restroom — Kuno Chisato

By the time she finished reading, tears blurred the words. Haruka’s eyes were swollen red, her face a mess of tears and snot.
Then, at last, the “In Operation” light went dark. The operating room doors opened, and a doctor stepped out — shoulders heavy, face downcast with exhaustion.
Haruka sprang up.
“Doctor!”
But the doctor only shook his head slowly and said quietly,
“We did everything we could… I’m so sorry…”
Haruka froze. Then her knees gave out beneath her, and she collapsed to the floor.
For a while, she sat there, stunned — until she clutched the letter tightly to her chest and whispered,
“I’ll find you, Kuno… No matter what. In the next life, I promise.”
While Haruka read those final words, inside the operating room Kuno was taking his last breaths.
As his consciousness faded, he heard that familiar voice from his dreams —
“Remember!”
Kuno thought faintly, So that’s what it meant… This was the moment it was warning me about…
Then, in his dimming vision, he saw Haruka — leading people toward a spaceship.
Thank God… she made it in time…
A single tear slipped down his cheek.
Maybe this… was destiny after all…
And then, slowly, Kuno’s awareness was pulled into darkness.
The heart monitor beside him fell silent — its line leveling into stillness, leaving only the long, unbroken tone echoing through the operating room.
