Wow, this one really subverted my expectations.

I thought for sure she'd be flung onto the tracks from trying to pull him so hard and either losing her grip or him (deliberately or accidentally) shaking her off to meet the same fate.

Ceiling Hina is watching you masturbate.

The story this time falls to dark humor. The protag's not dead, the ghost is not evil. "It's a misunderstanding hahahahahaha" with no one laughing. Interesting bit.

In the other hand, that shadowy figure....

So was he a ghost or not? The dialogue and twist seem to imply he wasn't a ghost at all. I didn't kill myself, which also means he didn't die at all. It seems to me the implication was the incident injured him in some way and her pulling at him caused him reopen his wounds. I know how unrealistic it is but the last line about her being wrong about everything reinforces the fact he was never dead to begin with, she just assumed he was. I like this one more than most.

That felt a lot like a Hina story, like Yuuma was trying to emulate her style but he just couldn't land a nice ending

Also in both this and the last chapter "Ceiling Hina" makes a move when the clock ticks from 11:59 to 12:00

Poor girl. She kept on getting into misunderstanding after misunderstanding despite her genuine feelings and regret for not expressing it.

She could spiral into a mental feedback loop, in all honesty. She liked him, so she should've acted on any single opportunity to talk to him. He liked all his classmates so surely he's receptive of her keeping him company. Even if it's not romantic, a friendship between the two could blossom. They could go to school together, hang out, and get to know each other better. They could help one another, lend an ear, and be a shoulder to lean on in times of need.

In times of need... huh? Yeah, especially when the anemia kicks in.

She already saw him in that very incident. That meant there was an opportunity to get near him, say hello, and actually see and catch him as he felt the dizziness kick in. So why was she just standing there watching it all, assuming that he jumped of his own volition?

The simple opportunity of interaction that had been continuously being placed in front of her could have been the very thing that will save his life, had she followed up on even just one of them. And she did not act on every single one, letting hesitation half-ass her decisions. She only wallowed in his death, spun a story out of her own self-loathing and projected it into the ghost of the boy who already died, and destroyed his body further after that very fact.

It's not her fault, yes. Nobody could have known. But she already said her wish. That should have been enough reason to even half-ass an attempt, and still succeed. There was every reason, will, desire, and chance to make life better for the both of them, yet it was she who did not take it.

So she stands there in shock for splitting the ghost of her supposed crush in half, slowly trembling perhaps from the fact that she had misunderstood everything once again.
