Where am I going…? Where am I…?

I can't see anything here… is it the end…?

My body… it feels so light… …

No… no, I can't go now… I must save Hunley… I must stop Project Neo… I'm… there…

Mirii!

Huh? Wh-who is there?! Someone… is someone calling me…?

Mirii… Mirii!

… Kelly?! Is that you?!

… she is not answering me…

I'm right here, Kelly! KELLY

… I can feel she is just fine, though… she must be sleeping.

Am I sleeping?! … wait… th-this doesn't look like sleeping at all! What is going on?! Wh-what happened to me?!

A groan left the closed mouth, while the eyes were squeezing a bit.

Ah! I'm feeling heat! I'm… … hmm?! I feel warm, but…

The eyes opened slowly…

Wh-why… why I can't move a muscle?! My eyes, my limbs… I can't control them!

"… urgh…" The back lifted slowly.

Who's there, now?! … wait…

Her eyes opened a little, before they squeezed themselves back. The hands rubbed both eyes…

"… I don't want to leave the bed yet…" She sighed loudly. "… I'm so tired, my arms hurt…"

That's my voice! That's… me?! A doppelganger?!

"Uff…" Her head lowered. "Maybe it's… almost 6 AM…" Her head turned over her right side, noticing a few shy sunrays. "… yes, it must be 5 minutes before 6 AM…"

Grrrrr… it's abusing my body for her ridiculous needs! WAKE UP, YOU FOOL!

"Huh?!" Mirii's eyes went wide, as her mouth opened in the same manner. "… wh-what it was that surge o-of energy…?"

… did I affect her energy in some way? … hmpf! I need more than giving her energy… … CAN YOU HEAR ME?!

"Aaaah?!" Mirii's arms hugged her own stomach. "My stomach blew up?!"

LISTEN TO ME, YOU COMPLETE IDIOT!

"Aaaaaahh!" Mirii bended herself forward, while her eyes squeezed.

Sh-she is screaming in pain… am I focusing my energy on the stomach? … maybe she will listen to me, if I speak to her through her mind… … I hope I figured out how to concentrate my energy towards the mind… …

"Sigh… … the pain went away in a jiffy…" Her right eye opened to the middle. "Such a weird"

Can you listen to me?

"… my mind is ticklish now…" Her eyes shut in a horizontal line, as her right hand went on her head's right side. "Aaaaahh, what's going ooooonn…?"

STOP MUMBLING NONSENSE YOU

"Aaaaaah!" Mirii's hands went on her forehead, as her eyes resumed their squeezing. "Is this what it means to have the mind blown?!"

… unbelievable… I-I can't talk to her!

Mirii was stumbling… before falling back on the bed, as her head hitting the cushion.

… something doesn't feel right… wh-why this complete stranger

Suddenly, a loud scream came from behind the walls. Mirii's ears rose, as her eyes opened largely.

"T-trouble?!" She rose her posture back, as sweat emerged from her face. "What in the world"

SLAM!

Several Inklings were rushing towards Mirii, while they were stretching their arms towards her. A scream left her mouth, before she hid herself under her bed's sheet.


"… Barsy, no… no… … d-don't leave me…"

Greta was squeezing her eyes, as she was lying on her bed. She rolled herself onto her left side, as sweat was emerging from her face.

"… I love you… …" Her lips stretched forward.

Knock! Knock!

Greta's eyes opened a little.

"Huh… …"

A clicking sound reached her ears, then increasingly stepping noises. Greta curled a bit, as she began trembling…

"B-Barsy…"

A large hand landed on her right shoulder.

"Greta." A whisper hit her face.

The girl's eyes opened widely, while her cheeks blushed. Her irises rose, noticing Carlson wearing a long-sleeved shirt.

"Sorry for waking you up…" His right hand went below her chin. "… but we must escape."

"E-escape…?" Greta rolled to the right, as her back met the soft bed surface.

"They are coming for us…" He frowned a bit. "I will explain everything once we reach the Shrine."

"… huh…" Greta's hands went on her eyes. "Barsy… I am…"

"I will wait for you outside your room." Carlson walked away from the girl. "Be quick."

The girl was hearing noises… before the dead silence. She groaned, before raising her back and sighing loudly.

"I feel so dizzy… …" She turned herself towards her right side. "If Carlson said this, though…" Her legs managed to reach the bed's right side, as her feet touched her slippers. "… I guess I could trust him and"

Grina? Grina?!

The girl's eyes went wide, as she jumped on her slippers and began turning herself around.

"Kelly?!" Her right fist went on her chest, as her eyebrows went up.

Y-yay! You can hear me too!

"I do!" She smiled. "But where are you?"

… I'm hiding, right now…

"Huh?" Greta's mouth opened widely. "… where?!"

Somewhere in this dark place…

The girl gasped, as several mental images pass through her sight.

"Ah?!" Greta's irises shrunk. "What we did wasn't a nightmare?!"

The door opened, as Carlson appeared in front of the entrance.

"Greta, what are you doing?" He scowled at her.

"I-I was talking with Kelly!" Sweat jumped out from her head.

The boy moaned, as he waved his right arm towards the room's exit.

"There is no time, now!" He sighed loudly. "You will wear one of those kimonos instead."

"S-sorry!" Her feet wore the slippers, as she dashed towards her friend. "I-I was almost forgetting that I was supposed to get myself ready!"

Carlson grabbed the girl's right hand, as he pulled her during its run on the nearby hallway.

"D-don't run like this!" Sweat jumped out of her head. "I-I will lose my slippers"

Her mouth stood open, as she hears faraway, unknown voices…

"They are here!" Carlson accelerated his running pace. "I knew it! They want to capture us too!"

"T-too?!" Greta's head aimed towards Carlson.

"Yes!" He looked at the girl. "They got Mirii… they are taking her somewhere!"

Greta gasped loudly.

"WHAT?!"
