Meanwhile, before anyone even noticed that Arina was gone, Ginger was in her room, thinking.

Something doesn't feel right. She thought. I don't know what it is, but something just doesn't feel right...

It was already late at night, so no one even noticed that Arina was missing, and they were all in their rooms.

That night, ginger had a dream.

It wasn't a normal dream, though.

The next day, during breakfast, she pulled Hoshino away fom the table to talk to him.

"I..." she blushed. "I think you should leave."

"what?!" Hoshino asked, startled.

"you should leave... I think..."

"but I..." he was staring at her, trying to find some emotion, but there was none. "as you wish." he shook his head. "then I'll... I'll leave." he said slowly.

He walked out the door, looked over his shoulder one last time, and left.

Ginger shook her head. The emotion came back to her face. "what just happened...?" she gasped. She ran right out onto the deck, but Hoshino was no where to be seen.

Ginger ran up to her room, shut the door, and sat down on the ground, sobbing. "what did I do? What just happened?"

Hoshino had started running as soon as he got out into the yard. He ran into the woods and sat down next to a tree. A tear trickled down his cheek. He stared back into the direction of the house. "I've been waiting for something like this... But I wonder why?"

Ginfer didn't come out for the rest of the day. She collected herself enough to get ready for bed, and when she woke up the next day she realized what had happened and started crying again. After about a half hour she realized she had to make breakfast, so she got up and went downstairs.

She looked like a wreck, and her face was shiny and wet. She made breakfast, and then realized Arina was missing. "where is..."

"I don't know..." Gina replied.

Aia snapped a picture of Ginger. She had gotten the breakup on video, and was excited for something romantic after over a week. But she also felt bad for Ginger, so she didn't spy on her from the closet.

At breakfast, it was silent. No one felt like talking. Ginger's mind wasn't working right, so she wasn't thinking of Arina. She was thinking of Hoshino.

Ginger got up from the table and ran outside. She ran into the woods. It was raining. She slipped and fell in a mud puddle, getting herself all muddy. She kept running, and tripped and fell again.

Hoshino was walking in the woods, he hadn't left them since he got there. He saw Ginger on the ground. "Ginger!" he yelled. "Ginger, why are you here?"

She looked up at him. "H- Hoshino?"

"why did you tell me to leave, and then come here?"

"I... Don't know!" she started sobbing uncontrollably. "I cried all of yesterday, and this morning. I can't think right. My mind is only thinking of you. Nothing else. It's like... I don't even know! I've never felt so much pain. I don't know what to do..."

"but then why..."

"I don't know what even happened. I can't remember what happened... I just remember you walking out. And disappearing. I don't even remember what I said." she sobbed.

"I... I... I care about you more than anything. I walked out because I thought that was what you wanted. It was what you said... I don't deserve anyone like you. You deserve better than me."

"but I don't... You are the only one for me..." she laughed. "this is like one of those movies..." then her eyes widened. "the dream..."

"w-what dream?"

"I had a dream the night before...this happened, but it wasn't like my normal dreams. I don't really remember what it was, but it was why I said that."

"so... It was a dream?"

"but it was like someone was controlling me. Through my dreams. It was weird..."

Hoshino was mad. "when I find out who did this..." he sighed. "I'm just glad... I mean... This is um..."

Ginger laughed. Hoshino picked her up and carried her back to the house. He ran straight there, and they sat on the deck.

They sat in silence. Ginger kissed Hoshino, on the lips, then quickly blushed and turned away. "uh- um..."

Hoshino blushed, looking down. "um... We should probably go inside and rinse off... You got really muddy."

"yeah..."

And so the rest of the day was pretty much normal, until the middle of the night, when Ginger woke up, remembering that Arina was missing.
