The Shrine Mansion's Unknown Worlds.

Prologue: Nightmare dreams and Investigation.

It was a rainy night outside, but not the normal kind of rain today.

The only thing that's different is the unusual eerily red moon.

At the closed entrance store shop is a male boy holding an umbrella.

His mouth is frowning, not really in the mood of feeling the weird atmosphere. He kept looking around on seeing that no one's outside except for him and a few vehicles all locked. Not even the sounds of the animals around this place.

"Where in the hell am I?" He asked himself.

"I swear, I was right in the middle of a train station. It couldn't have been possible for me to get onboard without a ticket, pretty sure that I must've dozed off."

He called out for anyone to answer him.

"Hello? Is anyone out here?"

No sign of any calls, but only the downpour of the continuous rain.

"Great, I better go find a near police station and make a call to my buddy. Assuming that he's up and not laid off screwing around in the bar or some place else.

Sighing, he turns to walk right away from the closed shop.

While he continues walk outside in the rain, he didn't know that he was passing by some illusions of abandoned buildings. The only difference is these particular ones having company names on them. One with an H, second different building with an H, third having a M, fourth a C, fifth a V, and so on and so forth.

Then, the man stops for a moment and spots someone on the bench.

He quickly goes over to the person before stopping right next to them. He saw that the figure is a female, given the appearance of having long red hair. Plus, she was looking down for some reason and all soaking wet.

"Uh miss, are you okay?" He asked.

No reply back, but he scratches his neck.

"Jeez, I don't have time of waiting too long. Okay miss uh, I'm going to put my umbrella next to you for a bit of comfort from the rain, Whatever's troubling you, just um walk to your family's home or if you're lost, go to the police station or any other place and you'll make a call to your mom or dad."

He then, carefully places the open umbrella right next to her from the pouring rain. Surprising though, notices that she's using her left hand to grab the umbrella. Taking his hand away, he also saw the girl's head glancing up to him.

"Okay, uh nice chat with you. So um, see ya later."

Satisfied with the good will, he immediately goes to walk away from her.

"Always be prepared for a spare."

He takes out another umbrella from his right hip and opens it up.

Upon walking up further on, he hears some footsteps behind him. Turning his head, he saw the same girl from the bench following. Shaking his head, he points his left hand to the direction behind the girl.

"Uh miss, that's the wrong way. Go to where I'm pointing my hand at. You don't have to follow me, you know? I'm sure someone out there can perhaps help you out. I can't have anyone following me since I'm in a hurry to go back home."

However, he didn't get response.

The only weird thing is, he can hear a giggle from her.

What's more ominous is that her smile and eyes are looking right at him.

'Okay, this is a bit unnerving and scary for me.'

Turning around, he walks a bit faster away from this strange girl.
