I opened my eyes, and the world was white. No way, it can't be...



'Did I really pass out from just one suppression task? Or am I... dead?'




The broadcast announcing the start of the suppression procedure had sounded, and as soon as Gemini did something, I was overcome by a pain I had never experienced in my life and lost consciousness.



With my last memory being the world blurring, I thought, 'I didn't even need to be nervous, huh?' Even if this is Mika's body, is this much pain too much? Or is it just that I can't handle it?



After losing consciousness and opening my eyes again, naturally? No, not naturally at all?! The student council president was there. Is this a continuation of the previous dream?

Then, it's not just her; there are other people here. Carmen. I turned my head and frantically looked around.



...


Come to think of it, she suddenly appeared out of nowhere last time. Maybe there's no point in looking for her like this.



"Don't worry, Sensei. She's not here."



"?!"

She, who hadn't reacted to my movements, suddenly spoke to me. My eyes widened. I was even more flustered that she seemed to have read my thoughts.



Why is she still calling me Sensei? I'm clearly possessing Mika's body, and in this place, my dream? I'm in Mika's form for some reason. How does the student council president know I'm Sensei? Does she see me as Sensei?




"You must be confused. But this time, I want you to believe that she's not here."



Is Carmen acquainted with the student council president? Why? How do they know each other? And what does she mean by 'this time'? Everything is incomprehensible, but at least I have someone in front of me who can answer my questions.



"Then, where is she this time?"



I don't know if she'll tell the truth or lie. Besides, I'm not even sure if the person in front of me is really the student council president. If she's the real one... why do I feel uncomfortable when I look at her?

It was like seeing the plague doctor, a feeling of repulsion.



"...Should I say she's gone to meet another you? Though it's more like she's watching."



I'm right here, who is she watching? She answered my question, but I'm faced with an even more confusing situation.




Face your curiosity and create the future. I should ask the most pressing question first.



"Where is this?"

"Would it be alright to say it's Sensei's inner world?"



Well, I do come here when I lose consciousness or fall asleep. That makes sense... The most important question.



"Then, are you really the student council president ☆?"

"..."



She strangely avoided my gaze. No, she was definitely looking at me and then suddenly looked away. And she didn't answer.

This is a cramped subway, there's not much space to avoid gazes. After hesitating for a moment, she answered without meeting my eyes.



"Yes."

"You took awfully long to answer ☆."

"Hehe, I was just thinking about what you meant by that. Sensei always asks insightful questions."



She's a suspiciously suspicious student council president. Can I trust her? I stared at her with cat-like eyes. She responded with a smile.




Unlike the bleeding student council president from my previous dream, the one in front of me now seems perfectly fine. I want to think that the student council president from then and now are different people, but...



'I messed up by mentioning Carmen, who appeared with her before.'



Besides, if she and the one from before are the same person, what was all that sadness about? It's a problem if they're the same, a problem if they're different, everything's a problem.



Help me, Sensei.




Oh, right. I am Sensei. I despaired at reality.
