[Dr.Crow's POV]

...

I slowly opened my eyes.

Hm? Where... am i?

I take a look at my surroundings, there's nothing. Just pitch black. It feels... Cold. I thought i was alone. I panicked but... it seems that my body can't move while it floats inside this cold and lonely darkness that swirls around me. But then... just as i thought that it's hopeless...

"Sshhh, please be at ease. Do not panic."

A woman's voice was trying to comfort me. Her voice sounds... Soothing. It feels by just hearing her speak makes me feel... sleepy...

"You do not remember who you are right? It's ok, remembering your own name is already enough."

Who... are you?

"The importance of who i am is irrelevant. At least, for now. All you need to know is this..."

"December 23rd... You may not know what this date means to you yet. And... Unfortunately, remembering this will thrust you into peril... No, even if it torments you you must remember. As much as i hate to say it." She continued.

"When you wake up, someone you once know dear will be there for you. So please, do not keep her waiting."

After she said that, from the depths of darkness. I saw a woman wearing a white dress, has a long and a kind of a white pinkish hair? And has horns. I can't see her face since the moment she turned around, it was so... bright.

"Doctor... please wake up." Is all she said.

Immediately, before i knew it. I was falling. Slowly, slowly, and in the end, i lost consciousness.

Until...

I heard a voice. A different voice this time. She sounds a lot more younger.

".......!"

Why does it sound so... muffled? Agh! My... my ears! It... hurts!

".....tor?"

"Do..... are..... k?"

Huh? It's a bit more clearer, but still...

"Amiya..... worry! Doctor is ..... ok!"

Huh? Another voice. Amiya? Doctor? What is going on?

"Doctor! My hand! Grab.....!"

Grab her hand? Wait, can i move now?

I tried to move my left hand to grab this person's hand. Gah! Why does my hand feel heavy? And it hurts like hell too!

Despite the unbelievable pain, with enough strength i finally felt someone's hand. I think this girl's name is... "Amiya"?

"Doctor! He grabbed my hand! But... why won't he..."

"Amiya! Stop that!"

"Ah, um... sorry."

"Don't worry about him. His breathing is quite shallow, but other than that he's ok."

"Ah, i see..."

I muttered out a small groan. And then, i slowly opened my eyes and saw a brown haired girl with an ear of a... Donkey? Or is it rabbit? Ow, my back hurts.
