Around me, I see the ground has turned red.
This thing is trampling all of us, one by one. I can't believe we're being defeated so easily.
Suddenly, I feel something heavy hit my body, sending me back.
It's warm. It's wet. It's sticky.
I look down at my arms.
Oh my god. Oh my fucking god.
In my hands...
No, no, no, this isn't real, this can't be real. This is fake, this isn't real.
Lay...
NO, NO, THIS ISN'T REAL. THIS ISN'T REAL.
Ito...
STOP THIS! IT'S NOT REAL! IT'S. NOT. REAL!
Slowly dying, in my arms...
"Ito! ITO!"
She coughs up blood. I feel it cover my chest, and it's warm.
Why is this happening? Why? Why?! WHY
"H-Hoshi-sama... I..."
She goes limp.
She goes cold.
I cry. I cry my eyes out.
I yell. I scream. Nobody comes to help.
I look up to see something moving quickly towards me.
I wake up.
"AH!"
"Mm... Hoshi... Please keep it down..."
That voice. That's her.
"Ito!"
I hug a half asleep Ito, and she looks up at me.
"W-what brought this on?"
I don't respond. I just hugged her. I held her in my grasp and never let go.
"Hoshi, are you...C-crying?"
I don't respond. I just cried into Ito's shoulder.
"Shh... It's okay... It's okay... Can you tell me what's wrong?"
"It... It was awful... I was alone, but then you were in my arms, and then you-"
"I'm okay... I'm right here..."
"I-I was so scared... So worried..."
"It's fine... It was just a bad dream... I'm here, Hoshi... I'll always be here..."
"I... I..."
"It's okay... I'll always be here..."
My emotions take hold of me. I let my thoughts loose."
