/Two days later/

/Wonder stage/

Emu
I bought some candies with my sister and I want to share it with all of you!

Nene
That's nice of you

Tsukasa
Thank you, Emu

Rui is lost in thought

Rui
(This is all too familiar, but I don't remember what it was)
(Something is going to happen)
(It's not possible for me to warn anyone)
(They won't believe me)

Tsukasa
Rui?
Are you okay?
Something seemed to be bothering you

Rui
It's nothing
I'm just overthinking

They eat the candies

Rui
(Why was Emu absent in the second scene of that nightmare?)
(Does it something to do with what is about to happen?)
(No... don't tell me)

/A while later/

They continue to practice

Emu suddenly stops

Emu
I... don't feel... so well

Rui
!
(There it is)

Emu falls to the ground, Rui catches her

Nene nudges Emu, but she's not moving

Everyone is alarmed

Nene
EMU!

Tsukasa runs off looking for help

But Rui knows that she can't be saved, he feels Emu's heartbeat growing waker by the moment

Nene falls to her knees, crying

Then Rui understood, that nightmare is a warning

That nightmare is warning them that the four will all die

Nene is the next one to die

/Hospital/

Nene is crying while Tsukasa and Rui tries to comfort her

But Rui knows Emu won't survive

A doctor walks out, reporting for Emu's condition

Doctor
Unfortunately... she couldn't make it

They are all devastated,  Nene ran off, crying and denying the truth

Rui
(I can still warn them)
(Hopefully...)
