Sensing
Chapter 2

Daisuke's POV:

He leans in and our lips connect to another sweet kiss.

Suddenly I have to think about the previous events. About that girl's voice. She sounded so desperate…

Maybe Satoshi-kun knows something about it. He still didn't tell me how he found out where I was…

"Satoshi-kun. You said earlier, you sensed something's gonna happen. How did you know?"

I look at him, my brows furrowed. His lips escape a long sigh and then he speaks up.

"I was already worried when our class decided to play 'Ice and Snow'. You know the story of 'Ice and Snow', don't you?"

I shake my head. He sighs again and closes his eyes. When he opens them again he begins to tell me about 'Ice and Snow'…

There was Elliot, the son of a feudal lord, and Frieda, an ordinary village girl.

They fell in love, but nobody accepted it, because of their different social statuses.

After Elliot fell in war, Frieda prayed to god, and asked him to give all her time to Elliot.

God granted her wish and so Elliot returned to life again.

When he arrived in the village he heard of Frieda's death and what she did to bring him back to life.

This time Elliot prayed to god and, feeling the deep bond between the two lovers, he joined their souls and gave all their time to the village they loved…

"That ending's too clean." I blink.

"Why? It's a happy end, what's so wrong about it?"

"I did some research and found out about an old artifact. It's called 'The second hand of time'. It's hidden under the big fountain."

"That's where the voice of that girl led me to."

I clap my hand over my mouth. Damn, I didn't want him to worry even more.

"Which voice?" he asks curiously.

"Anou…, I had a dream the night before. About a girl, dressed all in white. And tonight, I heard her voice calling me. It felt like she was speaking inside of my mind."

He nods and furrows his brow.

"Maybe I'm right. There exists a different ending to the story. Maybe…" he trails off.

It seems like he's thinking about something.

"Maybe there is a bond between that story and 'The second hand of time'. I guessed so before, but maybe Frieda's soul is harbored inside of the 'Second hand of time.
And since you are playing Frieda's part, maybe there was something resonating between the two of you. Think about it. About that dream. Did you notice anything strange?"

I think back to the dream I had.

"Well, I know that it was snowing. The snow was falling constantly but it didn't feel cold at all. The landscape seemed so familiar to me…."

Then I remember the painting I drew earlier.

"It's my painting!" I pull off the covers and jump out of my bed. I pull the painting out from under the bed and show it Satoshi.

"The place where I was. It was this landscape."

Satoshi's POV:

I climb down from his bed and observe the painting.

It's really beautiful and even though it's a snowy landscape it radiates warmth.

"We have to destroy it. Maybe then the magic will be broken."

I look at him. He has a sad look in his eyes, holding the painting in his hands.

I approach him, caress his cheek with one hand and give him a quick kiss on the lips.

"I'm just worried about you. I really don't want you to get hurt."

He stares at me and smiles.

"Okay. Thank you. For worrying about me."

He walks out of the room and I follow him downstairs.

"I think we should burn it."

He walks over to the chimney and starts a fire.

He takes a last look at the painting before he throws it into the fire.

The flames flicker green for a moment and it's cracking loudly.

I take Daisuke by the hand and sit down on the couch, pulling him into my lap. He leans his head on my shoulder and I start stroking his hair, while the two of us watch his painting burn down.

"You can draw another one. Even more beautiful than this one," I whisper into his ear.
