I have no friends. 

Thursday 18th December

Something weird happened today. Something very weird. I was causally talking to Senpai, as usual, but then suddenly I was knocked out. Just BOOM, and I was on the floor. Weird. I heard a few screams, then my forehead exploded in pain. I blacked out. When I woke up, I had no idea where I was. Just a black abyss. Endless black. Just black, everywhere. Then a man appeared. He just walked into the clearing that I was in. I don't know how I didn't notice him, as every part of him was on fire. 

So there he was. In the middle of the room. 

Just stood there.

On fire.

Then he began to speak. 

"Ayano Aishi... It's been a while. Not that you would know who I am." His voice had a familiar ring to it. but I couldn't be bothered to look into it. He continued. "Anyway, I'm here to give you a message. Don't, I repeat, don't resist. These voices that you hear, they aren't inside your head. They do exist. " He paused, as if he were considering continuing. He did. "I am one. "

For some reason, I replied. "Liar. You are just a figment of my imagination. Just get out of my head. Please"

He began to laugh. It was cold, yet warm. It sounded like a fire crackling. 

"Do you want proof? I'll give you proof. An... how do I say it... inconvenient person will be out of the way for you. Is that suff-"

He cut off, and turned to the side as if to look at someone. 

"I have to go. Don't speak of any of this. None of it. Not a word. Not even to your Senpai. But we are real, and that's a promise. Someone will be out of the way before Friday. I PROMISE."

Then, somehow, he burst into yet more flames, illuminating the gloom around us. For a second, I thought I saw a dozen humanoid creatures, with quirky touches here and there. One stuck out among the crowd, with a creepy spider head. But then everything got impossibly brighter, my vision blurred and I blacked out again, only this time, instead of a dark abyss, I was in a school bed, with Muja and Senpai looking down with worried faces. 

Turns out, Osoro attacked me. Fun. She's expelled now. Not that that will stop her. 

But, after half an hour of troubling questions I was finally allowed to go home. And after that, as soon as I promised Senpai that I was OK, he walked me home.
