Gradually, the memories trickled in. Mayuzumi recalled a multitude of broken, chaotic scenes. Endless darkness, a blood-red moon, a broken-down house, figures of maniacal shadows…
She stayed alone in that nightmare, overcome by bone-piercing terror.
It was bereft of everything but despair. Her overwhelming sense of fear made her hesitate, but as long as she could see that person and feel that he was by her side, he would give her the courage to recall those memories.
And so, she tried her best to clearly remember those things. One day, when Reo was at school, she remembered them in their entirety.
"Ten years ago," Mayuzumi said abruptly, "I also met with something similar to this."
"Hmm?"
"After the literature club president Hinako Haza blew out the last candle and something scary appeared… my… my consciousness was also trapped in a world. I think it was my own soul realm."
