Monologue
--The more I love you,
The more I would like to eat you.
And once I become one with that body;
Would this thirst, this ache, be healed?
The closer I get,
The steadily farther I become.
I see you beyond a desert mirage,
As if you were a faint illusion.
[Lord Richter]

In front of the house
Yui's POV~
Taking tentative steps towards the huge mansion that stood before me,I couldn't help but shiver from the ominous feeling that it was giving off.I've arrived according to these directions but... as I thought this place... is the rumored haunted mansion, isn't it...The people I asked on the road all had the same response...... I'm not mistaken, right?
(I have a relative in this kind of place? Really?Haa... well, I don't think my father would say something inappropriate.)

~lightning flash~

"Kyaa!!" A sudden streak of light flashed across the sky, it sent chills down my spine,causing me to scream in fear.But that was not the worst, rain started pelting down into me. (At any rate, I have no choice but to check ...)

~knocks on the door~

"Excuse me!"I called out and waited for a brief moment for someone to open the door but only to receive eerie silence and no signs of response in return. "Excuse me!!" I called out once again but still nothing again. (There's no response... Ah-... What should I do. As I thought there's no one. There are no lights on either.
That's obvious, isn't it. After all this place... is this neighborhood's famous "Haunted Mansion". A member of the church living in a house rumored to have monsters exiting from it... Surely there's a mistake, right?)

"Yui, I think it's time for me to reveal this to you, after all, I can't keep it a secret forever from you..." Father's words still lingered in my head, I wonder if he's doing fine......

Flashback
"Ehh!? ...Y-You've been summoned by a foreign church? And you're saying you'll be gone by tomorrow..." I yelled at my father. As much as I tried to respect my father, I couldn't help but feel somehow betrayed.

"Don't shout like that, Yui. Please calm down a little." My father tried to ease me as he could tell this conversation wasn't beginning with a good start."C-Calm down you say... Anyone would act like that after hearing such a sudden thing, right?And that overseas assignment... just where is it?"I questioned him, wanting to an answer from him. Father thought for a while before answering. "Hmm. It... sounds like it's in Eastern Europe."

"Ea-Eastern Europe!? The east of Europe?" Shocked, I stuttered. "Aa. When father was young, he spent some time there. An official request from the church came suddenly. "I could his mood lighten up a little as he recalled his childhood times for a brief moment. However, with father overseas, there will be nobody who will take care of the church. But, being raised up there, it has become a sacred place to me. Worried, I asked father frantically,"That... Then what will become of this church?"

Looking at the expression on my face, he assured me."Good news is that the church will be passed down to a successor immediately. Please rest assured of that matter. Moreover... If anything happens you will be in Japan." Upon hearing that, I turned puzzled, what does father mean by that? "Eh?" The next sentence he said made me speechless and cause my breath to almost stop. "Yui... Please listen carefully. I know this is hard for you but Father was... thinking of going alone. You... I cannot take you along with me." Loving my father more than anything, my natural instinct made me protest instantly.

"That...! Saying that you're going alone... I want to go together with you..." I begged, but in the end, my efforts were futile. Immediately, father's eyes widened in alarm as he said,"You mustn't!" Taken aback by his sudden comment, I held back my tears as I demanded,"...Uwhy!?Father?" Taking a deep breath, father closed his eyes as he apologized. "I apologize... Living away from you... is very painful for me.But... all of this is.. for your sake. Please understand."
