Kei: ...!?
In the span of one blink, one world is exchanged for another.
Kei: ...
From the moonlight passing through the paper door, the darkness of the room has diluted to a pale blue.
Even though I knew, it was only a dream.
I awoke, with that dream I was told to forget rooted firmly in my memory.
Kei: Hah......
That was a strange dream.
A green mountain, a big tree, and a girl in a kimono.
And then, the ringing of-
-a bell!?
Am I still dreaming, thinking I'm awake?
No, surely, I just misheard an insect's chirping.
Or maybe, no way.
......This isn't a ghost story.
I could just go to sleep, yet I strain my ears instead.
Dummy. Nothing is scary if you don't know about it.
The sound of a bell.
I feel as if something's there, outside the room.
Probably just a person in the hall. This is a hotel, nothing strange. People wake up at night to go to the bathroom.
Things like that... are perfectly normal.
Yet, it seems completely unrelated to human concerns, as if it's watching this side, with bated breath...
Though it's not like I'm psychic, or especially sensitive to presences like that...
