It was the middle of the night and Naru couldn't sleep. He laid on his bed deep in thought. He thought about how his life had changed for the better once he met Mai. She had filled in the whole that was created in his heart when his brother and always seemed to bring the best out in him when she was around. Then they got married. His life had become even better if that was even possible; he had a beautiful wife and now he had a son. Gene was just like his brother, always cheerful and with a warm smile. It was as if he had his twin back, but in a different son-like sense.
Naru turned towards his sleeping wife and son. The moonlight was illuminating their faces, making them even more stunning. They looked like a real family; as though Gene was really their child and was not adopted.
As he was studying his wife's face, he noticed that she started to look uncomfortable. She must be having one of those dreams, he thought and saw a tear roll down Mai's cheek. She better be alright…or else…he finished threateningly, and wiped the tears off the woman's face.
(MAI'S DREAM)
Mai was in that house again; the one from her previous dream. However, this time the house wasn't one full of love but one full of hatred.
The recent widower was in a darkened, slightly moonlit room. It seemed to be a nursery; the toys and liquor bottles were being thrown around the room by the currently intoxicated man. The infant children were in their crib, wailing in fear.
Mai watched, wide eyed, as their enraged father tipped the crib over and pulled out a lighter.
"It's all your fault, boys! I despise you both! You killed your mother…YOU KILLED MY WIFE!!" the man yelled and lit fire to the ripped toys on the floor.
The man was on his way out of the flaming room when he clutched his chest in pain. The pain had started in his left arm and quickly spread to his heart. He was having a heart attack. "Curse you" he mumbled, and fell limp to the floor.
The seconds wore on and Mai was unable to move. She watched as the man pass away from his heart attack and watched the nursery went up in flames and finally reach the crib. The loud wailing died down a bit…as if one of the as if one of the children had- Oh god! Mai thought to herself. One of the children is d-
Mai was cut off from her thought as she heard the maid from her previous dream yell in shock.
The maid ran from the hallway and into the nursery; jumping over the deceased man, clearly not upset about his death, and she ran up to the infants. The woman let out a sob at the sight before her and reached down to pick up only one of the children. After securing the child safely, she ran out of the room in tears.
Mai was now able to move and she walked up to the crib, tears trailing down her own cheeks, and peered over the overturned children's bed. Just as she had expected the other child was…dead.
(END OF MAI'S DREAM)
Mai awoke to the sight of her husband's worried blue eyes. She looked at him and let more tears stream out of her own deep brown ones.
"Naru…it was so sad…he killed one of his own sons…" she trailed off and fell back into another dream filled slumber.
Naru looked at his wife with sadness. He didn't like knowing that his wife would dream of horrible things such as murders and suicides when other people dreamt about things the complete opposite of hers. He pulled her close to his body and kept her there incase she had another bad dream and needed comfort.

(MAI'S SECOND DREAM…well actually the third if you count the one in chapter12 but….yeahhh ON WITH THE DREAM!)
Mai opened her eyes again to realize she was in another dream…again…She was in front of a white building, still nighttime. There was a sign in the yard which said 'Shibuya Orphanage.'
A car pulled up the driveway and slowly came to a stop. As the door opened Mai was shocked to see the maid exit from the driver side door. The woman went around to the back of the car and pulled out a sleeping child…the boy who lived.
The woman walked up to the front door of the orphanage before hesitantly placing the child on the cement steps.
"I am so sorry…" she whispered before she knocked loudly on the door and sprinted to her car. The maid sped off down the street. The next day's newspaper would have a headline story on the burning house and the deceased father and sons. There would also be a story beneath that on how the maid was found dead in a car crash later that night; police believed it was her who had started the fire. But oh how wrong they were.
Mai was still at the white house only moments after the maid sped off. The door opened wide to reveal…Rika.
Mai gasped. Rika looked younger…almost five years younger. She remembered the story other woman had told her on how she had found Gene. He was just an infant, left on the doorstep of the other orphanage she used to work at…
That means, Mai started, that this child…this little infant…is none other than my son…my Gene!

"Naru," Mai sobbed into her husband's shirt.
They were still in bed and Gene was still sound asleep seeing as it was three in the morning. Mai had woken up about a half an hour ago and informed her husband about the happenings in her dreams.
"Shhh…It's okay Mai," Naru comforted her by holding her close and calmly running a hand through her hair.
"No Naru…it was Gene. That man, Gene's father, tried to kill his own sons and succeeded in killing one of them. It's just so horrible. He blamed his wife's death on his children."
"Mai, it's okay…it happened in the past. I've told Madoka to get Yasuhara-san to find some information about the house before Rika-san and Terada-san moved in. We'll figure out how to get rid of that man's spirit, trust me…he will pay for doing that to Gene."
