I'm always chasing my dreams,
and constantly losing
myself with this person.

⠀This dream...
⠀I don't know if it's a dream,
⠀or a memory...
⠀It's like a recording.
⠀Blurry...
⠀And so loud.
⠀Why I can't even... see the faces of
⠀people I've seen in my dream...
⠀What are they talking?
⠀I didn't understand...
⠀Until, it stops, like recorded footage. The dream was hold still, as she saw a man in a black hakama, sitting in front of her. His face are blurry but she still knows who is he.
⠀Tou-san.
⠀Technically, he is her grandfather, but he insisted to be called as tou-san¹ instead. Since her parents aren't capable of taking her, so she was turned to be cared of by her grandfather. She lives in a traditional Japanese household, where the surname Kunitsuna, are the swordsmith's name of a legendary imperial sword.
⠀She never sees the Onimaru² before, but she sure the spirits run through the family. Speaking of which, her grandfather rises up and walks away. She can feel herself was lifted also.
⠀Tou-san! Where are you going?
⠀I can't hear you!
⠀But then suddenly, red bloodshot eyes are looking at her. He grabbed her by the front of her clothes, yanking her closely, as he screams,
" K I L L T H E D E M O N !³ "

⠀She woke up, bathed in sweat. She is still at her prison bedroom, IV drips connected to her wrists, as bandages are wrapping most of her body, from chest to hips. The searing pain from her back makes her halt from her sudden movements.
⠀' I've been having this dreams for the last few sleeps... Did tou-san tells me... to kill the demon? Masamune? '
⠀She plops back again to her bed, staring at the steel blue ceiling above her. The ship is adrifted by the waves, and somehow it's so rhythmic, yet wild. She is now worried of how was Hiroki, and the girls. She maybe already knew that Masamune shots Dia, and she died...
⠀Speaking of which, she remembered a distant memory...
⠀What are you doing, Shiho?
⠀I'm making a drawing for Hiroki-jisan when he visit later!
⠀Her grandfather just idly ruffles her hair, as he peeks at the messy drawing she made with crayons.
⠀For Hiroki, eh? Maybe you should add Dia and Ruby there.
⠀Ruby?
⠀Dia's little sister. Hiroki and Maaya just had their second daughter a few days ago.
⠀Can I be her big sister too?!
⠀You're older by a month from Dia, so yeah, you can be their big sister.
