Erase

Act 6: The Revelation

After finding Shino's phone lying on the sidewalks, Mayuka knew that there was something wrong with her. She then saw an alley going straight, and proceeded to enter it.

-Streetball Court 9:31 AM-

Mayuka went through the alley and into the streetball court, where she finally found Shino... unconscious and bloodied after a violent attack.

"SHINO!" Shouted Mayuka, as she rant toward her girlfriend.

The first thing that Mayuka did to the unconscious Shino was to check her pulse. Fortunately, she could still feel Shino's pulse. However, she must call an ambulance, quick, or else Shino might die for real.

She proceeded to call the emergency number from her phone to call an ambulance to send Shino to the hospital and save her life.

"This is an emergency! I need an ambulance! Quick!" Said Mayuka.

-Hospital Ward 1:10 PM-

A few hours later, Shino woke up in a hospital bed. By her side was her girlfriend Mayuka.

"Shino! Oh, thank goodness you're alright!" Said Mayuka.

"Mayu...? Where are we...?" Shino replied.

"We're at the hospital. I found you unconscious and bloodied on a court near the alley." Said Mayuka. "Fortunately, I was able to call an ambulance that time, and now here we are."

"Where's Yuichi...? And Jun...?" Shino replied.

"Who?" Said Mayuka.

It was clear that Mayuka had no clue who Yuichi and Jun are.

"... Nevermind." Said Shino.

Suddenly, Shino noticed a strange collar around Mayuka's neck. It was the same as the one on her neck... as well as that of her assailant's.

"Mayu... Wh-where did you get that... thing?!" Said Shino, with a feared tone in her voice.

"Huh? Oh, this collar?" Mayuka replied. "I don't know. Some weird guy gave it to me in my dreams. Then I woke up, and this thing's still in my ne-"

"AHHHHHHH! NO!! GET AWAY FROM ME!!!" Shouted Shino.

"Sh-Shino? What are you-" Mayuka replied.

"DON'T KILL ME! PLEASE!! GET AWAY!!!" Shouted Shino.

"What are you talking about? I'm not gonna kill you!" Mayuka replied. "Please! Just calm down..."

"NO! GET AWAY!!!" Shouted Shino.

Mayuka then hugged Shino to calm her down. Shino's fear slowly faded away.

"Please calm down... Shino..." Said Mayuka. "Just... breathe in... breathe out..."

"Mayu..." Shino replied.

It was then that Yuichi and Jun arrived at Shino's ward.

"Shino!" Said Yuichi. "Are you OK?"

"What the fuck is going on here?" Jun added.

Yuichi and Jun may be close acquaintances of Shino, but to Mayuka, they are but mere strangers.

"Hey! Who asked you two to come here and-" Said Mayuka.

"No! Mayu! Don't!" Shino interjected. "I know these guys, they won't do any harm!"

"She's telling the truth." Yuichi added.

"We're the ones who took care of Shino after she ran away." Jun added.
