"Huh? Aya-chan...?"
The Aya-chan who had been right in front of me just moments ago was gone.
But it wasn't just that—when I looked around, it didn't seem like the same forest we were in earlier.
...Where am I?
I started looking around, scanning my surroundings to gather any information that might help.
At that moment, I noticed something glowing, extending from my chest.
"...What's this?"
It looked like Silveit, but not quite. The end of it was so faint it was almost invisible.
This strange thread extended straight out from my heart.
Could this be what Shirayuki-sensei was talking about?
She mentioned that Resonance connects people through threads.
So... does that mean I've resonated with Aya-chan?
But Aya-chan was supposed to be rejecting it. Well, not Aya-chan herself, but something inside her... though that's not the main issue here.
"...Guess I'll follow it."
