Blank Dream

Realm of Beauty

I walked out to see Yuzu and a man.

"Oh Mishiro! Over here. C'mon!" She shouted. "Look. LOOK! It's amazing! Another person!"

"Cool?" I sighed.

"Its seriously rare for two souls to wander in, in such a short time!"

"... Hm? ... Hmmm?" The man walked closer to me.

"Stay away creep!" I spoke defensively. He jumped back a bit.

"Oh, forgive me! ... But why so harsh..." The man sighed. "But looking at you makes something nag at me. I don't quite understand why... Probably not acquainted or anything right?"

"Probably not...," I replied.

"Anyway. The name's Ryotaro. Probably. That's the name in the suit so. Not like I remembered it myself so it feels strangely unreal."

"I'm Mishiro," I said.

"Right nice to meet you!" Ryotaro cheered, "I was wandering this strange world for a bit before finding Yuzu there... What's with it, really? Feels like some other dimension." He looked around.

"This is a world where souls with a wish end up!" Yuzu explained, "Can you remember your wish, Ryotaro?"

Ryotaro narrowed his eyes. "Wish... Hmm, I wonder. Ohh, I wonder..."

"You can't remember anything exact, huh?"

"...Seems that way. Like a fog over my memories." Ryotaro scratched the back of his neck.

"Well, yeah. I was just like that at first. Mishiro's just special, I guess."

"At first?" I asked. "How long have you been here, Yuzu?"

"I haven't really been counting... So all I can say is, really, a while ago," She explained, "I think it's been several years maybe?"

"So you died years ago?" Ryotaro's eyes widened.

"Probably. Long enough ago that I've gotten used to this place, and having no memory. The only time I got any sort of memory back was the time I found a mirror with my reflection," She explained, "I've seen other mirrors around this world, but they showed other people, or nothing at all."

"The mirrors are deep in the realms," I explained, "You have to find them, and break them."

Yuzu's eyes widened. "Huh? Seriously? Mishiro, you've been really proactive while I'm not looking! ...If you keep it up and find more mirrors, could you try to look for our mirrors too?" She asked. "I don't think it's coincidence that you seem different from other souls, Mishiro. Just, while you're at it! If you have time!" She crossed her arms and turned away from me.

Ryotaro stepped forward. "So, young lady, you're remembering who you are bit by bit? Get back our memories, grant our wish... What'll happen to us deceased after that? Surely we'll be at peace and go to heaven, eh?"

I walked up to a door.

'Realm Of Beauty, For whom does the brush dance?'

I used the bronze key, and opened the heavy door. It lead to some sort of corridor. There was a rug down the center with deteriorated angle-like statues on either side.

The was a blood stain on the carpet underneath a large, swinging chandlier.  Unsure of whether or not it would fall, I walked around it.

There were two doors to the left and right of the carpet. I entered the right. There was a teddy bear.

The teddy bear stares with round eyes.

Cute...

The was a lever on the wall. I decided to pull it. There was a distant sound. When I entered the other room, I was back in the familiar wooden floors and concrete walls.
