Ayano was at school. Or,, what seemed to be the school. The posters and technology made it seem like it was in the past.
That's when she heard an ear-splitting scream. Out of morbid curiosity, Ayano ran towards the scream. She finally stopped to find the girls bathroom on the third floor.
Tentatively, she walked in. Blood splatter was up the wall and there was the still warm corpse of a girl with red hair. Looking over Ayano found someone familiar...
"Mom...?" Ayano couldn't help but ask.
"W-what?" What seemed to be Ayano's mother turned around. Her mother looked younger and she had a school uniform on.
Ayano didn't know what to feel. Or what she was feeling. It was like the air had escaped her lungs.

Ayano woke up to the blaring alarm that told her it was 7:00am. She got up and put on her uniform. While brushing her hair, Ayano wondered if she'd look good with a bun.
Finally Ayano got out of the house and down the road. She felt happier all of a sudden. Then she noticed the familiar long black hair.
"Hi... uhm do you remember me?" Taeko asked. "So sorry for tripping you..."
"It's okay, we all make mistakes!" Ayano tried not to stutter.
"Here have some cookies we baked!" Came the voice of Osana as she gave her a bag.
"Is it okay if we can walk with you?" Taeko asked.
"Y-yeah it would be great!" Ayano blushed.
Maybe today would be great after all.
