In the dreamscape

Yumi and Mai awoke in the dreamscape obviously Yumi had put up her wall to hide herself as soon as she awoke and followed Mai silently behind.

Mai's POV
'Oop where am I? Wasn't I setting up the equipment with Yasuhara?' I walked around and noticed a guy by a railing 'All the students should've gone home by now' I thought. I walked close to the guy and stood besides him. He started to giggle and I looked over at what he was looking at, a school building.
'I wonder what's so funny about it...' and as I thought that I saw something pass by in one of the windows, a small orb like thing. 'Eh??' And as I looked around I noticed there was hundreds of them surrounding the school.

Yumi's POV
I followed Mai and stared along with her at the building. 'Will-o'-the-wisps!?' I wondered as I say them all flying around.

No POV
Mai asked the guy "Hey, hey? Do you even know what those things are?
"Of course I do, that's why they're funny" the guy responded
"Funny"-Mai
"They are very funny. I think nothing could be funnier" he said.

'This student, who is he'- they both wondered
The story Yasuhara popped into their minds with that question about the student who committed suicide.
"Ah, are you perhaps..."
Before she could finish the question they woke up.

The next day
"You don't see any spirits here!?"
"What do you mean masako-chan?"-monk
"It's not that I don't see any spirits at all, I do feel their presence"-Masako
"But Masako is the only one of us with the ability to see spirits, right? So that means.."-Mai
"We're in trouble"-Monk sighed
"Ah well, maybe she's not at her best right now?"-John said
Masako turned her head and ignored the comment
"But can you feel if they exist here?"-Naru
"Yes I know that there are many spirits and I know where they are, but I don't know what type of spirits are here, usually I can see spirits more clearly but it's a similar feeling to when you're watching tv with bad reception, if you know what I mean. I've been good at communicating with spirits that float around. I'm better with spirits that have strong grudges to specific locations or people"-Masako
"Well, since these spirits were summoned by Kokkuri-san, they may not hold any particular grudges, you're letting us down again Masako"-Monk
Masako turned and flared at Monk after his comment.
"Last time was a special case! And in this case it's not like I can't see or feel any spirits!"-Masako
"But we still can't depend on you regardless, right?"-Ayako
"You have no right to tell me that Matsuzaki"-Masako said with a hint of shade
They started arguing.
'They're they go again'-Mai thought.

"Did you not sleep well last night"-Yasuhara asked Mai
"Eh? Oh no, it's not that."-Mai
'Well it's true that I woke up in the middle of the night because of that dream... that student.... he was really...'-Mai thought
Mai had told Yumi about the dream so when she started thinking about it Yumi turned to look at her.

"But, there's only one spirit that I feel very strongly"-Masako
"What type of spirit is that?"-Naru
"The spirit of a boy he's the same age as me"-Masako
Mai and Yumi looked at each other.
"That means he's about sixteen years old"-Monk
"Yes, I can see his spirit clearly. I feel strong feelings from his spirit. He must have experienced hardships at school. His spirit is trapped here. Even though his spirit is not right here, I feel it very strongly. I think he commuted suicide and I believe it was fairly recently."-Masako
'Is she talking about'- Mai wondered if it was the boy she saw in her dreams
'It might be'-Yumi thought back

"Is it this student?"-Naru asked as he showed Masako a picture of a student
Masako looked at it and said "Yes, that's him. Right his name is Sakauchi-san".
Mai's eyes went wide as she saw the picture and thought 'That was... Sakauchi-kun...that really was.'
