Go out and talk?
>Yes< No

I would be lying if I said I wasn't scared. Hajime didn't seem to like me too much so what if he tried to do something like kill me?! I shook my head, surely he wouldn't do that with Kichi and his friends on a trip with him.

"God if your asleep then I'm gonna sound real stupid." I heard Hajime mutter. "Should I go?" he asked himself. I pushed down my irrational fears and got up, doing my best to not wake Kichi. I move the tent 'door' and step out. Hajime seemed surprised that I went out but then he looked at the ground.

"Is everything okay? You said you needed to talk?" I was curious as to why he would need me specifically. He looked back up and seemed to struggle to find words. He let out a sigh and walked over to the unlit campfire we set up earlier. He looked at me expectantly. I took the hint for once and followed, sitting on one of the logs. Hajime cleared his throat.

"To answer your question... technically yes everything is fine." He said not looking at me. I dived deeper into my confusion. Before I could ask anything he continued. "But the way I've been treating you hasn't been." He made direct eye contact with me, which was more frightening than it should have been. "I don't have anything against you it's just... something happened recently, It's why I've been so cold." He rubbed the back of his neck.

"Oh well don't feel the need to tell me." The fear in my voice must have been apparent as Hajime caught on.

"My brother, he's trapped somewhere and we have to get him out." Hajime said flatly, his face was completely neutral yet somehow I could tell it hurt him to talk about. "They call it Gemini's lie."

'That place... It sounds like'

My brain starts to hurt, I hear this loud high pitch noise yet my body doesn't react, no words come out of my mouth. It's loud, it's so loud. Why doesn't Hajime seem disturbed? Can he not react either? It's so loud it-

"It was supposed to be some dumb rumor. Just something to pass the time and scare some kids. That's what they told us." Hajime balled up his fist, continuing what he said undisturbed by the...

the...

...

...hey what was I thinking about?

"They? Who's they?" I ask. I've never heard of this place before so maybe whoever 'they' is can tell me about it.

"Some shitty salesmen, they just told us it was some 'partnered test of courage' but they were liars!" he slammed his fist onto the side of the bench I wasn't sitting on. His eyes seemed almost luminescent. But he shut them quickly and took a few deep breaths.

"Hey, your eyes, what just happened?" I point to his face as I ask. Hajime looked a bit nervous not looking over at me. "I thought you were a human. But humans don't do that." I scooted closer. Hajime muttered something but I couldn't quite hear him. "What exactly are you?" Before Hajime could answer there was a snap of a twig heard. We both quickly stood up and turned to face the noise.

"Looks like the camp trap worked boss." an unidentifiable creature spoke as others circled the camp. The voice sounded distorted and as if there were multiple speaking at once. "But of course it would you're the brains behind everything." the same creature spoke. All the creatures were wearing dark clothes that covered just about everything.

"Shut up you moron." Another spoke, swatting the first. Hajime tensed up. This didn't look good, they were surrounding fast and the rest of the group was still asleep.
