I woke up by the sound of the splashing rain outside the window.
I seemed to be in a bus, going in a direction that I've not known.
But with one peek outside, I saw the silhouette of a town, though with the fog blurring my vision, I could only speculate.
"Kid, we're here."
The voice coming from the front of the bus echoed loudly throughout the vehicle. It was then that I discovered that I was the only passenger.
"Where am I?" I finally asked.
"Houkai." The man replied with a stoic voice. The door then blasted open.
Houkai..?
The name permeates my mind as the rain poured upon my being, drenching my clothes.
What a strange name..
Strange name as it is, though, a more important matter was at hand.
Why am I here?
Digging through my well of memories, I could only stare blankly ahead. I knew of common things, such as the rain, the sun, and everything around me, yet..
I knew nothing of myself.
"Feelin' all pressured by the peers and the media-"
A tune comes from my jacket's pocket, disturbing my thoughts.
"A phone?"
I unknowingly uttered beneath my breath. Taking the phone out, a message notification appeared on the screen. It contained a map of the town, and directions to a specific building.
"I trust that you take care of yourself."
The sms ended with a small note. Checking the address, I only saw the name "Alice".
How does she know me?
But, with the rain getting stronger, I decided to heed the advice of Alice and proceeded quickly, disappearing into the fog.
