forgot to say the last chapter, but mui is 11 here!! random chapter :3

Spoilers ahead!!

Muichiro's POV: .... (Muichiro angst, and muis trauma spoilers)

"What the fuck was that?" I thought to myself, still reeling from the remnants of the nightmare.

"Muichiro... Wha—No, well... You might not be, but are you okay? Although it doesn't seem like it..." Mr. Igoru asks, his face a mixture of shock and devastation.

"No, no... I am okay. It's just a dream. Wait, actually, more like a nightmare... I... I can't explain it. It's a nightmare I've never... never had before. What I mean by that is it's a nightmare that's more disturbing than anything I've experienced," I stammer, wiping the sweat off my forehead. My hands are still trembling, each shake echoing the terror that lingers within me.

I take a deep breath, trying to calm the storm raging inside my chest. "It was so vivid, so intense. I was in a dark place, and there were faces—familiar yet foreign. They were watching me, judging me. I felt so trapped, like I was reliving moments I couldn't change."

Mr. Igoru leans closer, his expression softening as he senses my fear. "Sometimes dreams can reflect our deepest anxieties. What were they trying to tell you?"

"I don't know," I reply, my voice barely above a whisper. "Well, it... it's something... something I can't explain. If I could, I would tell you... It's just..." I pause, feeling the pressure in my chest as tears threaten to spill. "It felt so real. I... I saw Yui... He... he got... got killed, killed by an ugly-looking creature. His arm got cut off because of the demon-looking guy."

My words spat out of my mouth, and tears fell down my cheeks. I wiped them away with my arm, feeling vulnerable and exposed. As I did, I felt something wrap around me. It was warm—so warm and comforting, like a gentle embrace that shielded me from the cold reality of my fears.

I looked down, surprised to see a soft, glowing light enveloping me. It pulsed gently, as if it had a heartbeat of its own, and I could feel my racing heart begin to slow, soothed by its presence.

"Muichiro... It's going to be okay, it was a nightmare..." Mr. Igoru said comforting me, and it... it felt nice. His presence calmed the storm inside me, anchoring my racing thoughts. The warmth wrapped around me tighter, creating a cocoon of safety that I hadn't realized I needed.

"You probably don't want to talk about it right now, but... I know Yui is already... you know. But at least you didn't see him..." Mr. Igoru paused, searching my face for signs of discomfort. "Should I continue? It's up to you; I don't want you feeling... uncomfortable."
His concern felt genuine, and while the thought of Yuichiro stirred a fresh wave of anxiety within me, I nodded slowly. "I think I need to hear it," I replied, steeling myself for whatever he had to say.

"Oh, well, at least... at least you didn't see him... die in front of your eyes. That was your nightmare."
