[i]"Sachan..."[/i]
Yume fliched and looked up to see two pairs of wide eyes and smile. The ghastly voice came along with the most horrifying look has ever seen. After a short while, it completely left their sight, but failed to leave the girl's mind.

Even if the presence of the spirits is no longer present among them, Yume sat still with wide eyes, unable to move from the terror she just came in contact with. She forgot about her bleeding leg and her partner who came in assistance. She did not reply to any of his remarks but sat still, eyes open wide and mouth slightly open, blacked out with strange images flowing inside her head.

[b]Pictures of 4 children were imprinted on a news article,
and all of a sudden, Yume could see them lying down with eyes blindfolded and both hands and feet tied tightly together. Though it was only 2 of them, struggling for release. Of course they weren't enjoying it at all, especially when Yume heard a loud agonizing scream and blood splattering all over the place.[/b]

Yume gave a big gasp and shook her head to come back into her senses. She saw herself being carried by Kiku on his back. She bent over to see her leg being bandaged by a handkerchief. 
[i]"Thank you, Kiku.[/i] She whispered in a weak voice.

Yume looked ahead and saw an open room. When they arrived there, she got of Kiku's back and did her best to walk slowly. Yume looked around, but the same old things were there; desks, chairs and holes.
But something else stood out at the corner of the room.
Ah. Another corpse.
The corpse sat on a chair, facing the corner of the wall. From the looks it it, it was a female high school student from a different school.

Seeming this made Yume's head ache.
[i]"Uff.."[/i]
She turned away from the corpse and sat down on a chair, rubbing her head along with gently caressing her leg. She thought of the pictures that flashed in her mind when she blacked out and considered of sharing it with Kiku. 

Who were those children? 
Were they the bad spirits or the ones considered as our 'friends'?

[i]"Kiku... I need to tell you something."[/i]
And told him the strange memory flash.
[i]"I don't understand it though. I honestly don't know who they are.... yet, somehow, I feel... sorry..."[/i]

Suddenly, loud but slow patting of footsteps and the creak of the floorboards could be heard outside the door of the room. A dark atmosphere suddenly surrounded them. Yume wanted to stand up and get closer to Kiku, but the pain in her leg was still present. As the footsteps grew louder and closer, the girl's eyes grew wider and wider.
