The sky here is lighter brown rather than clear blue, without any of clouds. The leaves on the trees are varying in color, from brown to yellow, but none of them are green in color, not even one.
For five days in a row, Tanjirou was having this dream again and again. He walked alone in this never ending street, dressed in his school uniform. Lots of trees can be seen on each sides on the road. The scenery here is very calm, only sounds of birds chirping can be heard. Tanjirou doesn't have any idea why this dream is kept repeating in his sleep.
But for this time, Tanjirou wasn't alone anymore. Not far from his location, Tanjirou noticed an another male teenager sat alone on a wooden bench. A white drink machine can be seen next to the bench.
The male teenager's face is looking similar to him, with burgundy hair and irises, but without earrings and flame-like birthmark. He wears a dark blue pajamas with yellow chick patterns. It looks like he was eating an egg sandwich.
As Tanjirou walked closer to the bench, the male teenager soon noticed Tanjirou was approaching him.
"Hmm?" the male teenager turned his face towards here.
"Oh...hello" Tanjirou awkwardly greeted him.
"Hello" the male teenager greeted back. "Have a seat"
Tanjirou then sat next to him.
"What's your name?" Tanjirou asked.
"I'm Sumihiko" the male teenager introduced himself. "And you?
"Tanjirou"
"Nice to meet you, Tanjirou" Sumihiko smiled.
"Well, I thought there's only me in here" Tanjirou said.
"Same as me" Sumihiko replied.
"Are you new in here?" Tanjirou asked.
"I have been in here for a week" Sumihiko answered.
"A week?" Tanjirou raised his eyebrows. "You just sit here and do nothing for a week?"
"What? Of course not!" Sumihiko laughed.
"Then?"
"I was waiting for the bus right now" Sumihiko said.
"There is a bus in here?" Tanjirou was intrigued.
"Yes, but it doesn't have a driver at all" Sumihiko nodded.
Tanjirou was shocked. How can a bus move by itself it doesn't have a driver?
Or perhaps that bus is a some kind of self-driving vehicle, Tanjirou thought to himself.
"That sounds...creepy" Tanjirou commented. "Where will the the bus take us to?"
"To any place we want to go, this bus' destination depends to your heart and wish" Sumihiko explained.
"I got it" Tanjirou then glanced at the sky.
Tanjirou wondered, what is this place actually? Why is he in here? And why Sumihiko is also here too?
