She hesitated just outside the house when her she would now be living. It didn't feel right.
"Chihiro? Aren't you going to go inside and select your room?" Akio asked.
"Hmm, um yah." she told said and walked over the threshold. As she clutched the bouquet of roses and the card, she looked down at it again.
Chihiro...that was her name, but it didn't feel right anymore. Yubaba's curse was broken, it was her name, but why did she feel like Sen? Why were Sen's thoughts invading her own? Why did she suddenly have an overwhelming need to clean the floors and the tub, to serve guests. Wait, what guests?
"Is something the matter Chihiro?" Yuko asked coming behind her.
Chihiro could only shake her head. She fought the urge to turn around and run down the steep side of the mountain that her house was perched on. It took everything in her not to run to the tunnel, through it, and back to the bathhouse. What was going on?
We belong there, not here.
What? Why was there a voice talking to her? Had something happened in the Spirit World that no one bothered to tell her about? Did the name that Yubaba gave her take on it's own personality? Was Sen trying to take over her life?
