Miyuki blinked, convinced she must have misheard something strange. Tilting her head in confusion, much like a puzzled penguin, she tried to make sense of the words.
She asked the first thing that came to mind, "A sister? Do you mean your sister? Or is it a nun?"
The shadow shook its head.
[No... something worse...]
"Something worse? Do you mean a monster?"
This time, the shadow nodded grimly.
[A... terrible... monster...]
[They... kill... everyone...]
[And... turn... them... into... furniture...]
The shadow trembled and its expression darkened, as though it had unearthed a long-buried, horrifying memory.
Miyuki might not have known the true identity of the Sisters, but it was clear that the mysterious shadow feared them. Or perhaps it wasn't fear, but worry about what might happen if they were caught.
The shadow's next words shocked Miyuki Kuroi.
[Sorry....I'm... leaving...]
"What?"
