Prologue
xoxoxoxoxo
In a dimly lit room, a blonde woman was seated on a wooden chair. Her eyes were shut and her hands were over a crystal ball that emitted a soft, gleaming white light. Silence only dominated the isolated room as the window on the ceiling gave the light from the bright moon to pass through, giving more light.
She had remained unmoving for quite some time now.
Her eyebrows then started to crumple downwards as she continued to watch the blur events that had flashed themselves in her mind. Most events don't seem to connect with each other but the people in it were constant. Their faces were a little bit blurred.
She tried her hardest to take some note of them for they might not come again. If ever they would, she couldn't tell when.
At the end of the blurry, fast slide show, darkness came.
She opened her eyes that displayed a mixture of disbelief, shock and fear. The light from the crystal ball faded on each passing second.
She took a deep breath in after a minute of contemplation about her thoughts. She then lifted her head up to see the starry night sky through the window above her.
It's been foretold…
Her hands were set down on the table as her fingers curled themselves in her palms.
Four people who walked from different walks of life would be drawn together by fate. They'd be strangled by stings of hardships…
She blinked her eyes and contradicted her earlier conclusion, Or perhaps… I looked into it a bit wrongly…
"It has to be a mistake." She murmured to herself, trying to convince herself. "The circumstances seemed to be unreal and there's de—" She was cut when a slit of light from the hallway outside of the room cut through the darkness of the room she was in.
Someone opened the door.
"Mom?" Came a worried voice of a little girl after three-seconds of silence.
Serina looked over the door where her 8 year-old daughter was standing.
"Yura, it's already late.." She said, concern and a hint of shock laced her soft voice.
Yuka Otonashi didn't answer right away as she left the door opened and walked her way to her mother.
Once she stood reached her side, she talked. "I woke up awhile ago but I wasn't able to sleep again… since I know, Mom is still awake."
Serina's eyes softened as she patted her head, "So, I am the reason why sleep hadn't visited you."
The ashen headed little girl stayed her silence as if she had something else to say, but she seemed to just drop it when she mirrored her mother's smile.
"Kids should be asleep at this hour. Let's go to your room, hm?"
She blinked before grinning, "Okay."
Serina got up and she held her daughter's little hand. They walked hand-in-hand out of the dim room, but before her hand left the door know, she gripped at it for a second and letting it go.
At the closure of the door, the crystal ball glowed eerily and showed some events that the blonde woman failed to see and perhaps be kept away from her to know them.
