"This is but a warning! She who was the first, was warning you about your dire future."

"What does that mean?", I asked

"It means what it means, you're in trouble, and she's following you. She's doing this to warn you."

"We've heard enough, come on Sheryl, we're leaving.",

Rhea spoke out in the middle of nowhere.

"Wait... I need to know more about this stuff."

" Fine then, I'm going to wait for you outside."

As I watched her leave the room, the old woman whom I was talking with grabbed something on her table.

"Child, the trouble that will come is not so far. Take this with you."

The old woman entrusted me with an old pair of scissors.

"Use it to cut ties before it's too late."

"H-huh..."

"Now go! Your friend is waiting!"

She told me while pushing me to the exit. At the exit, I saw Rhea standing there and went to her.

"Geez, what's wrong with that old hag... So did you get your answer?",

Rhea asked looking a bit pissed.

"I don't know, she just gave me her scissors. Do you think it means something?"

"Probably nothing, we just wasted time here, and I thought a psychic old hag could help us"

"You're probably right, but why are you so angry at her?", I asked

"Didn't you see her? She was glaring at me the whole time I was in that room. It made me so uncomfortable.", she complained

"So what are we supposed to do now? I don't think this thing would just stop here "

"We'd figure it out at some point, let's just stay safe for now, it's just a ghost warning us from something.",

Rhea said in a sarcastic tone.

"So anyways,  let's just grab breakfast for now."

"Fine by me", I answered

We went on our way to get breakfast and coffee. We had a little chat and it made me relaxed from what happened last night and this morning.

"By the way, how's it going in your society?", I asked Rhea

"Oh it's fine, it's fun knitting and sewing clothes in our free time, you should try it sometime it might help you calm down a bit."

"Ha ha ha, are you really asking me that? You know I'm terrible in making clothes."

"Well, it's good for you so you could easily forget those things, but on second thought, never mind. "

I then remembered that the found corpse from the incidents that have been

happening lately, have those sewed mouth and thought that it's a good idea to joke about it.

"Ha ha ha, besides, I don't like to hang out with a bunch of possible serial killers. "

"What the hell? Ha ha ha, are you trying to scare me? I already told you I like creepy things."

After finishing our breakfast, we went back to our dorm to prepare for class. We entered the class and so far in that day, it all went normal.

"Hey Sheryl, I'm going to be late, we have an activity to do today, so if you won't mind it, can you go to the dorm alone? If you can't, I can ask Jessie to accompany you."
