The day seemed so long, Yama felt very tired but he realized that the time of day was longer than the time of day when he was in the world, and after experiencing what Philip said, Yama began to believe the words of Philip some time ago.
"Philip…" Yama called to Philip who was walking in front of him first and hearing Yama's call, Philip turned to look at him.
"What is it?" Philip asked Yama who was now clearing his throat and then he said,
"How long have you been here?" Yama asked Philip who now seemed to be thinking as Yama made his way along with Philip in the labyrinth that afternoon.
"Um… eleven months, I was here for eleven months" Philip replied to Yama who was now surprised to hear this. With evidence that he is currently opening his mouth wide to make Philip surprised to see Yama's face like that.
"That is quite a long time, don't you miss your family?" Yama asked Philip who then smiled sadly as he sighed, before finally saying,
"Of course, I miss them very much," Philip replied to Yama, which finally made Yama feel bad for discussing matters concerning his family with him.
"Forgive me!" Yama said to Philip which then made Philip shake his head, responding to Yama's apology.
"No, No… thank you for asking me that." Philip said to him which finally made Yama smile awkwardly in front of Philip.
"Come on… we have to get back on track before time turns dark!" said Philip as he walked quickly, which made Yama immediately run and keep pace with Philip's footsteps, they both walked in a hurry to find a comfortable place for them to stop at that time.
Just now Philip and Yama took five steps from where Philip started saying that, the sky that was then brightly bright suddenly turned pitch black, which in the end made Yama startled and immediately stopped his two footsteps while calling Philip in a frightened voice. Yama had just experienced something shocking as Philip had explained before, and that of course couldn't make Yama not be surprised, because he wasn't used to it.
"Ah! What happened?! Philip… Philip!!" called Yama in fright, and Yama felt panicked and he swung his arms forward to grab something or grab at least his shoulder from Philip.
"Hey… Hey… Hey… calm down kid!" said Philip who was somewhere else, while holding Yama's arm who was swinging back and forth in a panic.
Feeling that his arm was gripped tightly by Philip, Yama was slowly able to calm himself down. Not long from there, the light appeared from some of the bushes of the labyrinth, as if they became the illuminator of all of them in that dimension.
Yama's gaze is now on Philip who is also looking at Yama with some concern, "We have to hide immediately, Yama!" said Philip as he invited and pulled Yama to run away from that place and find a safe place to hide.
Yama's footsteps now balance the pace of Philip's feet who ran quite fast in the labyrinth, passing several bends that emit different strange sounds at each turn, which of course made Yama who heard him feel uneasy and increasingly frightened by it.

'I never expected and could never describe the atmosphere the first time I spent the night and was in the mystery Dimension. The noises from the bends in each of its labyrinths will make me never forget that I could be so scared and so small.' - Nakamura Yama.
(currently rolling time - Eiji)
Pip... Pip... Pip...
It was five o'clock in the morning, and Eiji, who wasn't asleep at that time, immediately pressed the alarm button on the clock on the side table and made himself put down Yama's notebook.
Eiji's mind is currently wandering and wondering, since he read Yama's notes, Eiji felt that what Yama wrote was full of feelings and those feelings carried over to Eiji's heart. He wanted to go back to reading Yama's notebook about the dimensions of the labyrinth, but Eiji couldn't be a selfish person because he had to get ready to go to school that morning.
Even so, Eiji still couldn't stop thinking about the story about Yama in the labyrinth, the three things that Philip said to Yama played in Eiji's head who now chose to daydream on the fast train instead of listening to Shuta's words which somehow discussed what morning
Feeling that he was ignored by Eiji, Shuta now turned to look at him who was dreaming, and turned to stare at the scenery outside, which made Shuta sigh and tapped Eiji's shoulder three times.
Feeling that Shuta patted him, Eiji turned his gaze to Shuta who now seemed to be chuckling in front of him as he said, "Khkhkh… I think I've seen you daydream a lot lately, why?? is there anything you like?? who?? Nanase-san?" said Shuta giving thousands of questions posed by him to Eiji who was now surprised to hear all of it.
"Ha?! what are you saying, Shuta! I don't like anyone including Nanase, why do you think like that?!" asked Eiji half in disbelief that his little friend had thoughts that Eiji was daydreaming about someone he clearly didn't like.
"After all you didn't listen to what I said and chose to daydream along the way, oh come on Eiji! Don't hesitate to tell me, I'm your best friend!" Shuta said to Eiji who was now really laughing because of Shuta's stupid behavior and stupid words too.
"No Shuta… I'm not in love, anyway why should I fall in love at such a young age??" Eiji asked Shuta who was now shaking his head in response to those words.
"Not stupid! You should have fallen in love at a young age because falling in love is beautiful!" Shuta said to Eiji who was now walking out of the station to walk leisurely towards their school.
"Oh! So you've been in love before, haven't you?" Eiji asked Shuta who now nodded spontaneously and then fell silent then turned to Eiji who laughed and ran while shouting, "Wow!! Shuta feels monkey love!!" Eiji shouted mocking Shuta who was now running after Eiji in annoyance.
"Oi, Eiji!! Watch out for you!! Oi!! wait!!" Shuta said to Eiji who ran ahead of him who was lagging behind, with laughter that sounded so cheerful, and that was what Eiji spent together with Shuta and also went to school, when he deliberately kept Yama's Note in his house because he felt that he also have a life other than reading the story of Yama's experience of another dimension which they call the mystery dimension.
