3:30AM.
Hikari sat bolt upright in bed. Heart racing, hands shaking. She had the worst nightmare imaginable.
Tairitsu is the friend she holds dearest to her. She hates to see her in pain or in discomfort... mentally or physically. it brings her unimaginable sorrow.
Yet somehow she dreamt of exactly that.
It didn't feel like a dream.
It felt scarily real.
She saw a vision.
A vision of Tairitsu.
The girl looked awfully pale. She was standing in front of a mirror; what seemed to be a bathroom mirror, weakly holding her head up with her hands. Trying her best to keep herself awake.
Blood surround her.
All Hikari could do was watch. She couldn't move.
She tried to call out to the girl that stood before her.
"Tairit- mph... !"
A black fog suddenly engulfed Hikari. Filling all corners of the room, and possessing Hikari's body itself, making its way into her lungs.
She couldn't breathe.
She couldn't breathe.
She couldn't breathe.
She clawed at her throat with her hands frantically. She couldn't breathe, even as much as she tried to.
.....
She was stuck like this for what seemed like an eternity.
The fog had consumed everything by now. The girl that once was gleaming with light was now shrouded with horrors unimaginable to the human mind.
Or so it seemed... ?
It was just a dream... right... ?
───────────────────────
The now conscious Hikari played this... strange, awful dream over and over and over again in her mind. She hated it. Yet she couldn't forget it.
She couldn't forget. She physically couldn't.
Something felt... off.
It wasn't before long that she noticed her bedsheets were stained with tears. She had only just realised that she started crying.
Struggling to even speak through her tears, she managed to mutter one word.
One name.
"Tairitsu..."
She hurriedly got out of bed and tried to pull herself together. She couldn't shake the image of the dream out of her head.
She felt so... awful.
Awful for Tairitsu. Awful for what she might be feeling.
She knew that dream wasn't just a dream. As much as she'd like to think otherwise, a strange and... unnerving voice in the back of her head told her otherwise.
She ran to Tairitsu's house as fast as she could. The two girls lived very close to eachother, but the faster she ran, the farther away it seemed.
She ran for what seemed like forever. What seemed like the hundred upon hundreds of years and time loops she went through to get to this point.
Keep going, keep moving.
And don't you ever look back.
