Prologue
I couldn't tell you why she felt that way, she felt it everyday…
…Slowly she was being smothered. Trying to break free, Mint Aizawa struggled with all her might against the dark force that held her captive, but to no avail. No matter how hard she tried to release herself, some strange and definitely powerful force held her back and was slowly crushing the last few molecules of air from her lungs. She couldn't even think straight-she was panicking now, her frightened thoughts lashing out at her like a wounded animal.
She couldn't even comprehend the idea of changing into her mew form, Mew Mint, to save her life. As her brain began to slowly shut down from the lack of oxygen the last image she saw was her friends and coworkers, staring at her as she lay dying on the café floor….
With a jolt, the wealthy blue-haired teenager awoke and fell from her bed, banging her head on the way down. Damn it she thought angrily, rubbing the spot she landed on. What was that all about? Why can't I control these stupid dreams?
It was about the fourth night in a row that she had had that particular dream. Always it was the same-it would start out innocently enough-usually with her performing a solo dance for an enormous and applauding audience. Then, for some unknown reason, the dream would take a drastic turn and she'd find herself being smothered to death by some unidentified force, completely helpless while the people closest to her just watched as she suffered.
Unexpected tears came to Mint's eyes, and silently she cried in her darkened room. The hot tears burned against her face, but only to turn into cold trails seconds later. This sudden revelation of weakness only scared her more. She'd never felt like this before-she was usually so cool and in control of her feelings, but this dream and it's hidden meaning frightened her. It was as if she was more alone in this world than she normally was.
It wasn't like she was able to tell anyone about the dream either, which set her apart even more. Her parents where hardly around due to the fact that they had numerous engagements and fund raisers to attend, and her older brother was traveling abroad for his education. Nowadays whenever she came home, the huge mansion where she lived echoed with a deafening silence. It was enough to drive anyone mad.
Lately, she couldn't even turn to her friends and coworkers-they were much to involved with their own lives. Ichigo Momomiya was completely wrapped up with her long time boyfriend Maysaya Aoyama, Zakuro Fujiwara had her modeling and movie career, energetic little Pudding Fong was busy with new acrobatic tricks and performances, Lettuce Midorikawa was applying for early enrollment into one of the finest schools in Tokyo, and of course Ryou Shirogaine and Keiichiro Akasaka were absorbed with new UMA research as well as running the café. Despite her seeming wide circle of friends, Mint felt isolated. Her desperate need for human contact was becoming more and more urgent, and she could feel the threat of deeper depression closing about her like a noose.
