...Yomu...

Mm? Yes? Did someone call my name? I opened my eyes, and I found myself on the blood-riddled train. I look to my left, and Tazia is sleeping. Past her, was Makima. Who was looking out the window.

"Sis." I called out. She turned to me confused. "Did you call me...?"

She looked around like there were still people left on the train. Ha, real funny.

She then shook her head.

"No."

...Huh. What is this unsettling feeling? I can't lie, I do feel a little better after my nap, but something is keeping me on edge. It doesn't feel good...

I stood up while the train was moving, and I shuffled past Tazia.

"Ngh...?" Tazia groaned. Whoops, I woke her up. Wait, that doesn't matter right now. I moved into the corridor, and stared ahead. I focused and I heard something ringing.

"....YOIMIYA!"

...Yoimiya...? Who was that voice? Did something happen to her? For some reason, I felt like something was off. I thought about calling her, but then I didn't.

Then as time continued to pass, I couldn't sit still anymore. Something was screaming at me to check on her.

I whipped out my phone frantically, and I called her.

My sudden movement caused Makima to eye me carefully, while Tazia noticed as well and observed me.

"Y-Yomu?" Tazia asked me what I was doing. I put my phone on speaker and I anxiously wait for the line.

There's nothing wrong... right?

"Ring.... Ring..."

...Could she be eating...?

"THE NUMBER YOU HAVE DIALED IS UNAVAIABLE."

Okay, this might be the first time in awhile that she hasn't picked up, let's try again!

....

"THE NUMBER YOU HAVE DIALED IS UNAVAIABLE-"

I kept calling for a couple more times, and there was still no answer.

I started to get worried each time I called, and eventually I broke out into concern. I started to sweat profusely, and my thoughts became jumbled.

Why isn't she answering?! She never makes me dial more than twice! Something must have happened! I can feel it! Even if she was fighting a devil, the Yoimiya I know would be confident enough to pick up!

"S-Sis! I feel something off!" I mentioned to her. She tilted her head in confusion, and she looked at me weirdly.

"How much longer until we're in Kyoto?!" I desperately asked. She looked at her watch, and back to me.

"About twenty minutes... We didn't ride express..." She responded. I curled my fist into a ball, and my emotions started to leak out. "Did something happen?"

"W-What's wrong?" Tazia asked carefully. I guess she could tell my mood changed drastically. I sat down next to Makima in frustration, then scratched my head.

"T-That's the thing! I don't know what's wrong! But there's something!"

I stood up out of my seat, and I stared at the exit. My feelings were overpowering, and anxiousness and worrying thoughts filled up my head. My world grew thinner and thinner, until Makima placed her hand on my shoulder.
