I saved the third bedroom until last. I walked to the back of the room and grabbed the photo out of one of the draws. I sighed as I looked at it. It seemed so long ago that the photo was taken. I was probably only nine or ten. I noticed the room getting cooler but didn't pay too much attention to it. I knew I wasn't in any danger. At least not yet. After I shoved the photo into my pocket, I walked back to the corner of the room next to the door and finished setting up the camera.

"Do you want a hand?" I heard from the doorway. Rei was standing there giving me a small smile. I returned the smile and walked towards her.

"That's okay, it's all done." She nodded before I spoke again. "Hey, I've got a question."

"Sure, what is it?"

"Well I know it's been a few years, but... well... this room was in flames. How are there no scorch marks or anything?" Rei looked down.

"Dad told us you had died in the fire that night. He didn't want us to be sad everytime we saw the room so he had the whole room redone." I felt a small spark of anger light in my body at my father's lies to my sister. "Did..."

"No." I cut her off. I still couldn't hear the words out loud. It hurt far too much. Rei looked down. She was about to say something when we heard a little voice.

"Rei-rei, can you play with me?" Rei and I glanced towards the doorway where a young Aiko stood. She walked up to Rei, grabbing her leg. Putting a hand on her back, Rei replied,

"A little later sweetie." Aiko pouted so I jumped in.

"You guys go ahead, I need to go catch up with Naru anyway."

"You sure?" Rei asked. I nodded.

"Yep. But Rei," I dropped my voice to a small whisper. "Plese don't tell anyone who I am."

"Alright, I won't. But expect questions later." I nodded, although I had no clue how to answer some of them. I hurried back to base and found Naru.

"All of the camera's are up and running." He nodded.

"There's not much more we can do tonight. Get some sleep, all of you. Mai, Miss Hara, Miss Matsuzaki; You three will sleep in here."

"Where will you guys sleep?" I piped in.

"The office, downstairs."

"Are you sure? The office is really small. Wouldn't it be better..."

"We'll be fine," Naru interrupted. I rolled my eyes as Naru walked out, followed by the rest of the guys. Soon after we were in bed, I fell asleep, falling into yet another dream.

I could see the third bedroom. I watched my body from above as it stepped into the room. Almost immediately, a zooming light passed through my body. Then again. and again. Yet I wasn't scared. I wasn't in danger.

"What's it doing?" I whispered as I continued to watch it for a little while longer.

"It's trying to communicate with you." I didn't even have to look up to know who it was.

"I don't understand," I muttered as I moved beside him.

"Some spirits can communicate verbally, however most cannot. Those who cannot often find alternative ways to communicate with the living. This one appears to be trying to communicate through emotion by sending specific emotions to you."

"Hey Naru," He turned to look at me. "You know how last night you said that I create the dream scenarios?" Well does that include the creepy room with the woman?" Naru shook his head.

"No. You didn't create that room, she created it when she entered your mind. You did, however, keep yourself there."

"What do you mean?"
