Ring!
Ring!
Ring!
"The ringing of the bell still echoes in my head."
I still remember that day.
The candles burned radiantly.
My body, a bloody, inert mess, tumbled down the bed.
The fiery agony I felt.
NO. NO. Keep those candles AWAY!
I heard heavy footsteps heading towards me.
I couldn't see his face and all I could see was blood.
The knife he held, stained with blood and tears.
I could feel the bitter, cold steel, pierce through my skin.
Blood flowed out and stained the white and colorless bed, a bloody and crimson red.
Ring!
Ring!
Ring!
...
When I awoke again, my skin was pale and faded blue.
What.. happened?
I rushed to the bathroom of one of the hotel rooms and looked in the mirror.
Oh.
My dark hair, now stained with blood.
And inky, black tears flowing from my dull, gray eyes.
For what do these eyes represent, but sorrow and despair?
The hotel was empty.
Why was it empty?
I.. I don't know either..
I searched for everyone, for days now.
But I couldn't find a single person.
Are you sure?
My dear Taiyo, think carefully.
Do you remember what really happened to them?
Wait..
Tell me Taiyo.
Why is it that your hair is stained with blood?
Why is it that you didn't see anyone?
NO! IT CAN'T BE!
That I killed them? Can it?
...
Everything went black.
A night without any light.
A death not in sight.
A knife stained with blood, a couple suffered a plight.
Ring!
Ring!
Ring!
It is true.
That night, a man with a knife came into the hotel.
The dark and gloomy clouds blocked the luminous light of the moon.
He was running from the man and got into the elevator.
It was broken.
I couldn't see it, but I could hear the knife cut through his skin.
The person I very much valued and admired.
His blood, now on the corrupted metal of the knife.
The bell rang.
I let out a terrified scream, as I ran into one of the rooms and hid.
But I was stabbed and burned in the end.
My eyes opened again.
This wasn't the same hotel I remember.
The old one, most likely burned to the ground.
But I heard footsteps.
Who?
I.. I can't remember either.
I could never make out his face.
But what was he doing?
Simply running around?
Trying to find a way out.
What were they seeing when they entered this place?
What was their expression?
But..
The candles.
Are they being lit?
Taiyo.
What? Who are you? Why are you talking to me like this?
Do you remember those candles?
The memories came rushing back.
I let out a scream of pain.
If you don't want the hotel to end up the same way.
Kill him.
And put out all the candles.
I couldn't make it.
Each time I would attempt to catch him.
But he would hide in hotel rooms.
Whenever I try to enter one.
The memories of the past corrupt my soul.
Please.. Just.. Let.. Me.. Live..
A melodic tune played.
It's a wonderful piano, isn't it?
The person was gone.
But how?
All the candle flames turned purple.
Then I looked at my surroundings as I slowly faded from this dimension.
Not knowing..
Where fate will lead me next..
If not for just one moment.
Just let me see that person's face..
One Last Time..
Ring!
Ring!
Ring!
