Seiji gradually sank into emptiness.
A tremendous dark-red monstrous shape appeared before him. Countless human faces and puppet masks could be seen attached to it, with all sorts of frightening expressions. It was incredibly scary.
The monstrous shape slowly approached him.
Seiji felt that it was about to do something and wanted to react. However, he was unable to move or even make a sound.
At this moment, a translucent silver-haired little girl appeared before him and blocked the monstrous shape's path.
The monstrous shape stopped in its tracks.
The girl looked at the monstrous shape and spoke up in a soft voice.
The monstrous shape started screeching. It sounded like countless people cursing together.
The girl fell silent for a moment before turning to look at Seiji.
'Shinobu-chan…' Seiji wanted to call out to her. Yet, he was still unable to make a sound.
