Introductions
The sun is slowly descending in the horizon, leaving the landscape in perpetual twilight. In the distance we see a tall, regal looking establishment. In the front is a sign marked "Spring Meadows Mental Institution". Inside, the interior is a plain white, most of the supposed employees dressed in white uniforms, some of which are seen escorting patients, all wearing white gowns.
We then proceed to enter a stairwell, and make our way up the numerous stairs. The stairs eventually end at the top, and the door proceeds to open. The doorway leads to yet another hallway, mostly empty save for some dark looking paintings adorned on a wall. At the end of the hall is another doorway. This doorway is marked with the words "Hiro Daigoro, Head of Psychological Recovery".
Inside the office, we see a young girl with medium black hair and purple eyes. On her head is a simple pink headband. She has on a blue dress, adorned with a white collar. Attached to the collar is a small pink ribbon. On her sleeves are white cuffs, the dress is also tied with a yellow ribbon around the waist. Her shoes are red and she is wearing crew length white socks.
Standing in front of her is a man with long white hair and and black eyes. He is seen wearing a purple suit, with a red undershirt. Adorned on his neck is a blue pendant, underneath a hankerchief like attachment. The cuffs around his sleeves are black, and his shoes are black and laceless. In his hand is a pendulum, which is constantly going back and forth.
"Come on." Said the man. "Tell me what you see. You are in no real danger."
"Uh..." Moaned the girl.
"Doctor, that's enough." Called out a female voice. The man turns around and behind him is a young woman with long black hair and blue eyes, and wearing a blue business suit with a red tie. "She's not ready to be exposed to such trauma yet. Prolonged exposure to hypnotherapy could severely damage her mind."
Ms. Yakamura, I find this girl's case to be quite fascinating." Said the man simply, his voice deep and hoarse. "It isn't often that a girl stumbles in on a supposed real haunting ground."
"You don't actually believe in hauntings, do you Doctor?" Asked the assistant, now called Ms. Yakamura.
"Of course not, but as a researcher I cannot help but be curious. What did this girl actually see? As a man of science, I must find an answer." Said the man.
"Well I think today's study has gone on far enough." Said Ms. Yakamura. "Dr. Daigoro, please snap her out of it."
"Very well." Said the man, now revealed to be Hiro Daigoro. He then approaches the girl. "Alright Miss Mochida, the moment I snap my finger, you shall wake up from your dream. 1...2...3."
Dr. Daigoro proceeds to snap his finger, and the girl, simply referred to as Miss Mochida proceeds to wake up.
"Huh? What happened?" Asked the young girl.
"No progress has been made today." Said Dr. Daigoro, slight distaste now in his voice. "It seems we will have to pick this up in our next session."
"Oh, OK." Said Miss Mochida. "Sorry things didn't go as planned."
"It's alright Yuka. Come on, I think one of your family members is waiting for you downstairs." Said Ms. Yakamura.
"Be careful now." Said Dr. Daigoro. "Reports have stated that someone is running around murdering people with an axe."
"I've heard about that, actually." Said Ms. Yakamura. "Hasn't that series of murders been going on for the past few weeks?"
"It has." Said Dr. Daigoro. "The police have already tallied up a total of 5 victims."
"Don't worry, I'm sure Miss Mochida will be fine." Said Ms. Yakamura.
"You never know." Said Dr. Daigoro. "This...Axe Man as they call him...doesn't discriminate when it comes to his targets."
"We thank you for your concern Dr. Daigoro. Good night." Said Ms. Yakamura.
"Good night." Said Dr. Daigoro. Ms. Yakamura and Yuka then proceed to walk out the door. Dr. Daigoro then proceeds to open a file cabinet and pulls out a small file and opens it. "Where are you..."
We cut back down to the first floor, which is bustling with activity. Sitting on a bench is a young man with short brown hair and brown eyes. He is currently wearing a white buttoned shirt with a blue shirt underneath. He has long gray pants on. He looks towards an elevator and sees the door opening. Inside he sees Ms. Yakamura and Yuka leaving the elevator and instantly stands up.
"Nii-san!" Yelled Yuka. She runs over to him.
"Hey, how's it going?" Asked the young man, now revealed to be Yuka's older brother.
"She's fine." Asked Ms. Yakamura. "How are you doing this fine day, Mr. Mochida?"
"Oh, me, I'm fine. Has...she made any progress?" Asked the young man.
"The doctor doesn't seem to think so. Although if you ask me she's doing a lot better." Said Ms. Yakamura.
"Well that's good to hear." Said Yuka's brother.
"How are you doing, Satoshi?" Asked Ms. Takamura. "School going OK?"
"Yeah, it's fine." Said Satoshi. "Most of the midterms are over, so we can finally get a chance to relax."
"Good to hear." Said Ms. Takamura. "Well, I'd better not delay you two any longer."
"Alright then. Same time next week?" Asked Satoshi.
"Yes. Same time same place." Said Ms. Yakamura. "Until then, take care."
"Same to you." Said Satoshi. "Come on Yuka."
"OK." Said Yuka. "Good bye Ms. Yakamura."
"Good bye." Said Ms. Yakamura.
The two siblings proceed to leave the mental institution.
"So, how are you feeling?" Asked Satoshi.
"I'm fine, honestly." Said Yuka.
"Have the nightmares been stopping at all?" Asked Satoshi.
At this question, Yuka remains silent.
"I see." Said Satoshi. "Head of Psychological Recovery, and he can't even help cure someone of their nightmares."
"Nii-san, Dr. Daigoro says situations like this take time to heal." Said Yuka. "We have to be patient about this sort of thing."
"I know, but this is the fifth session. You should have been making some sort of progress by now." Said Satoshi. "Oh well, I suppose it doesn't matter. Come on, the sooner we get home the better."
"OK!" Beamed Yuka. The two continue to walk down the path, and soon the sun completely sets.
