Recap:

"Are you okay, Amaya?" Shadow asks.

"Christmas lights decided to attack me, I was nearly arrested because of a crowd, and I was almost ran over by a man on a motorcycle. So I think fine." I say very sarcastically.

"Sorry if I wasn't any help." Shadow says, her ears and tail cowering.

I pet her.

"It's all right. Anyway, that's the past now. Come on. Let's go to sleep. We also have to go to Aoba's house tomorrow." I say.

"Right."

[Aoba's POV]

I try to sleep, but I can't. I toss and turn, thinking about Amaya. When she talked about her friend, Yukika, she said that she died a few months before high school. Earlier before that, she talked about how her brother died. I don't even know his name. She kept referring him as 'brother' and 'he.' I wonder what's his name is.

I remember her face so well, dark blue hair and eyes. Her bored expression and her annoyed expression. Her eyes show a lot of emotions.

I suddenly remember her face when she talked about Yukika. She was saying everything with a straight face, but she looked a bit in pain. Feeling embarrassed that I'm thinking about her too much. I decide to try and not think about her.

Feeling suddenly tired, I focus on trying to go to sleep. Darkness fills my vision as I fall asleep.

[Amaya's POV]

Shadow, by my side, sleeps peacefully as I try and sleep. Looking up at the ceiling, I hear something from my coil. Pulling up my messages, I found that there was a message from someone unknown.

"Don't

to

feign

ignorance."

I read.

Confused, I decide to ignore the message.

Sudden pain runs to my head and I grunt in pain. Holding my head, I try to ignore the pain. I fall on my bed and get comfortable, hugging a huge teddy bear. I decide to face the balcony, the moonlight shining through the open window. Suddenly a shadow passes by quickly. Thinking nothing of it, I doze off.

---Morning---

"A...ya...!"

"..."

"Amaya, wake up!!"

The sudden loud voice shocks me, and I fall off the bed.

"Jeez." Shadow complains.

"Oh. Sorry." I mumble, getting up from the floor.

"Ouch..!"

I feel a sharp pain from my head again.
