You walk down the hallway, your shoes sinking into the plush, red carpet. Ashley's room is the very last one on the right. But before you reach it, you hear someone speaking faintly behind you. You whirl around, hands gripping your umbrella. There's no one there. It takes a minute before you realize that it is coming from one of the bedrooms.
The voice sounds a lot like Kanon's. You press your ear against the door to her bedroom to hear what she's saying a little better.
"Oh, Ashley," you hear Kanon gush, "How do you feel about me?"
Strangely, there's no response. Well, none that you can hear. There must've been one though because you hear Kanon speaking again. Ashley must be keeping his voice down.
"Oh, I love you too, Ashley!" Kanon exclaims quite loudly, her voice unusually bright and cheerful, "It was love at first sight!"
Love at first sight...? When Ashley had first met Kanon, she had tried to kill him... Well, first she made Ashley promise to meet her at the old abandoned castle then she tried to kill him. You guess it could be considered a date in a weird, twisted Kanon sort of way.
It's really none of your business but...
Do you:
a) Walk on in (go to chapter 19)
b) Move on to Ashley's room (go to chapter 27)
