Teacher: "Attention Students, Class is about to start in 30 minutes! It is advised to ready yourself for the day, keep safe and be ready..."

The speaker fizzles before cutting off.

"*gulp*"

I made an audible sound as I swallowed my saliva.

"Do I... really want to do this?"

I mean, I still could turn back right now.

"..."

DISTANCE.

Distance...

Does it mean I should go away or get closer??

These instructions are so unclear...

"..."

I began walking toward the shoe lockers.

"Hmm...."

Maybe I should try avoiding her first...

Wait a second.

Am I even sure it's supposed to be Amy??

She seemed the most plausible person.

Not until earlier at least.

...

I still can't get her glare out of my mind...

I shiver from reimagining the scene again.

...

Rose, my girlfriend...

I... dont want to see her, let alone talk to her.

Amy, my... best friend?

I dont know what to call our relationship anymore.

Jess.

Not even going to consider it.

Hm...

After those strange sets of dreams...

Something has definitely changed.

Im... starting to think clearly again.

Looking back at my interactions with Rose...

That was definitely not the usual way I act.

So... Amy.

Try talking to her first, got it.

But how would I even do that?

Or am I even sure that she is actually in school right now?

More thinking just leads to more problems...

?????: "U-Umm...!"

"?"

Hm? Who might she be?

Her voice sounds feminine yet it doesn't sound like Amy or Rose.

...

or Jess.

?????: "H-Hi...!"

"...?"
