When Sei hears Sayuri frantically calling Wakana's name, he feels his heart drop. He takes long strides toward her. "Where is she?"
"She's gone." Sayuri gives her phone to him. "Matsuda Yuji called. She was beside me one moment; and then, she was gone in the next moment. This phone was lying on the floor. I think that she picked the call."
Sei stares at the broken screen of the phone. Where could she have gone? Did that ghost do something to her? She might be in the vicinity. He dials her number, but the call doesn't connect. "Damn it!"
Taking rapid breaths, Sayuri looks at him. "Minami-kun, is she going to be alright?"
"She has to be." He squeezes his eyes shut, trying to calm himself. Nishimura-sama must know what is going on. How does a ghost's mind work? "Explain what happened in the car."
