It's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.

"We're painting the roses red~"

"We're painting the roses red~"

...

Was that singing?

Maruyake found himself laying down on a beautiful garden of roses.

White roses...

The boy slowly sat up. Looking around the area, he realized that he was no longer at Night Raven College.

How...

Strange...

"Hurry and paint the roses red."

He heard voices.

"If we don't hurry, the flowers will wilt!"

The boy saw cards? Beings with cards as bodies went around the garden with brushes and buckets in hand.

He noticed red liquid dripping from the flowers, staining the bushes and grass.

Paint?

They were painting the roses...

Red?

"Hurry, hurry! There are still some that aren't painted!" Said a card with the Ace of Clubs.

Why were they painting the already beautiful white roses?

He stood up from his spot and went towards them.

Maruyake stopped and watched as the cards kept on painting.

It seems that, they do not notice that I am here...

Am I?...

Is this perhaps a dream of some sorts?
