I can see there's a figure in the distance in a garden. I'm not sure if it's a boy or a girl; but from its look I think it's a girl. She had a sky blue hair tied up as pigtails on her head. She's wearing a plain white long shirt covering her knees. Her shoulders are quivering, her hands grabbing the lower shirt tight and I can hear she's sobbing silently. Why? Why are you crying? Why does it hurt me to see her crying? I outstretching my arm and trying to reach her but it seems the view is way too far. She's turning her face to me slowly, but the ray of the sun distracting me.

"Karma-kun!!" Yelled Kayano right on Karma's face.

"What!?" Karma startled.

"It's our line.. What's with you?" Maehara poking Karma's head with his index finger, "you're spacing out so often these days.. What's wrong?"

Karma shook his head then threw his sight on the window next to him.

"Ah, I know!" Maehara tapping Karma's head, "you're rejected by Nagisa, right?" He's smiling wide.

A deathly glare reflection on the window made Maehara gulped and he raised his hands as a chin high with a grin adorning his face. Not a single word came out from his mouth, but he knew that his soul was almost being separated from the living vessel.

"There you go again, Maehara.. Don't get killed next time you tease him.." Nakamura winked as she left them, "got to go, guys.. Bye.." She's waving at them.

"Then.. What did Nagisa say again?" Maehara took a seat behind Karma.

Kayano nodded excitedly, "yeah.. Yeah.. What was it?"

Karma sighed, "she asked that did I remember it?"

"Remember about what?" Maehara eye contacting Kayano.

"Don't know, Maehara.." Karma shrugged.

Kayano looked back at Karma, "Why don't you just ask her about that, Karma-kun?"

"I will, but... It won't be easy to find her.. I don't even know where she lives.."

"Karma my buddy.." Maehara tapping Karma's head again, "you're sure brilliant in academic, but really really stupid for a romance case.. Why do the girls fall for this kind of creature, I wonder.." He shook his head in frustration, "what kind of neighbor are you for not knowing your crush's house?"

Karma slapped Maehara's hand, "just shut your mouth!" He's defeated.

He rushed home before Maehara teasing him more than this. Stressed by the situation, he idly sitting on the bench with a book in his hands. Soon, he felt a stare and as he turned his sight, he saw Nagisa was standing in front of the gate. She bowed then walked away.

"Wait! Nagisa!!"

Karma ran to her, opening the gate roughly then held her by grabbing her right arm.

"I saw it in my dream.." Said Karma with a tense stare at her.

"Saw who?" Nagisa said by grabbing the umbrella tight without facing up to him.

"Someone with pigtails blue hair.."

Nagisa threw her sight at Karma fast.

"Just tell me right away, what's happening here and who is in this mansion!" Karma begging frustratedly.

Nagisa closed her eyes briefly, "so.. In the end you can't even remember.." She smiled sadly, shook off Karma's hand then left him.

Unsuccess with the last chance, Karma desperately back to his room, fell himself on his bed then covered his eyes with his arm. Suddenly, blacked out enveloped the whole mansion with a total darkness. Karma's parents shouted from the other room and told him not to do anything until they came with a candle or a torch. With a heavy sigh, Karma tried to look for his own torch in one of the drawers near his bed. He heard something fell on the floor once he pulled out the torch from the drawers. He turned it on and spotted it on the floor to see what it was.

"Oh.. It's the empty papers.." He took it.

"Karma, want a candle in your room?" Karma's father came in with two candles in his hands.

Not waiting for his son's answer, the father put the candle on the candle holder on one side of the wall in that room.

"So, it's for a candle.. I thought it's just an antique decoration.. I was thinking to throw it, though... Glad I don't do it.." A sweat flew on his face.

"Don't you dare to touch the original decorations in this mansion, Karma.. They have their own function.. That's how we manage this huge house.." The father left.

Karma peeking out of his room and saw a row of candles on the walls along the hallway. The view was sure creepy yet pretty. He's back into his room then lifted up one of the papers facing up to the candle near him with a sigh of giving up.

"Eh!? Could it be..." His eyes widen.
