Two Meta Part 9

"Disneyland?"

Monika shot her counterpart a surprised and confused look. The timing of her alternative self arrival and the topic she brought up once she showed up was both too perfect to be a coincidence and yet confounding enough to remove any suspicion.

Monika Prime proudly nodded her head as she approached the couch her counterpart and guest currently occupied.

"Yep. I was just wandering around, passed by a stand where they would give away tickets and passes to a lucky winner and I was lucky enough to win a few for me, you two and the rest of your friends."

"Wow... That's pretty lucky." Shujinkou said as he scratched his right cheek.

Wandering around without a care in the world then ending up with tickets to one of the most magical places on earth; how could it be anything but luck?

"Mm-hmm," Monika Prime glanced at her counterpart. "Monika, want to tell the others the good news?"

"Huh? Oh. Sure," Despite her initial suspicions returning, Monika stood up off and proceeded to walk up a nearby set of stairs.

The moment she was gone, Monika Prime shifted her gaze to Shujinkou. An interested smile filled her face as she waved at him.

"Hey, Shujinkou. I didn't expect to see you."

"Really?" Shujinkou awkwardly scratched his right cheek. "I mean... We did kinda go on a date last night. I'd be a really bad person if I didn't talk to you afterwards."

"Oh, I didn't mean talking, I meant in person."

"Ah."

"So... Any special reason why you came over?"

"Well... There is, but it's going to sound a little weird."

"You're saying that to the girl that's from another reality?" Monika chuckled.

"True."

He appreciated her trying to lighten the mood, but it didn't change the fact that what he was going to say again would be uncomfortable. Solemnly scratching his right cheek, Shujinkou stood up and walked around the couch to directly confront her.

"So, lately I've been having these weird visions/mental escapes/images going through my head."

"Really?" a look of surprise and interest crossed Monika Prime's face. "Like what?"

"Um... Well, some weird things like a daydream I had recently and a fangame, but also some really uncomfortable ones like deaths."

"Deaths? Who did you see die?"

"Sayori, Natsuki and Yuri."

Monika Prime remained silent as she stared at Shujinkou. He couldn't be sure, but it looked like she was surprised and disturbed. "...How did they die?"

"Um..." Shujinkou steeled himself once again as he specifically recalled the images he had experienced. "Sayori hung herself, Natsuki's neck was extremely broken and Yuri stabbed herself to death."

"Wow... That's..." Monika Prime briefly averted her gaze as she replied melancholy. "That's upsetting."

"Yeah... And I was just wondering if you had anything like that happen to you; seeing these things in your head."

"Not really, but... I think you've stumbled upon something you shouldn't have."

'I-I have...?"

"Just kidding," she suddenly giggled.

"Oh."

He wasn't entirely sure whether she was setting him up the entire time or she was hiding her discomfort from hearing this.
