Tetsuya clears his throat,

  not knowing what to say

  in such a situation.

  Ronin apologizes, “We are

  sorry, Miss Kojima.”

  “Whatever…” I roll my

  eyes, still glaring.

  “Now the food is

  awful because of

  gossip.”

  I groan in deep

  annoyance.

  Nina and Ami both

  begin to whisper

  among themselves.

  Ronin calmly sips his

  glass of red wine,

  eyeing me.

  This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

  I ignore him entirely

  and look at Tetsuya

  who is blushing

  slightly, “I never

  saw this side of

  you before.”

  “Huh? What do you

  mean by that?”

  ……………….

  Before the memory

  could play out as

  normal,

  I become aware of

  my current reality.

  The one of death

  and nightmares.

  Everything before my

  eyes change.

  Tetsuya's parents

  disappear without

  a trace from their

  chairs.

  The air grows cold…..

  I stare at Tetsuya

  and see his dead

  appearance.

  Along with both

  Nina and Ami.

  They're victims too?

  That feels so eerily right

  considering that these

  two girls were mean

  to Cerise but so was

  Ronin.
