Various thoughts crossed her mind. Soon everything went blank. It was as if she was in a living nightmare, unable to awaken. Muraki had rendered her unconscious, yet she dreamed.
She dreamed of the comforting, warm embrace of Tsuzuki, and the kindness of his voice. He was like an older brother figure to her...the only person she had left that cared about her now that her parents had been murdered. Tsuzuki was standing a couple feet from her, facing her direction. Amaria called his name out as she ran towards him.
He suddenly turned around and walked away. Amaria quickened her pace, now yelling out his name. Tsuzuki began to get farther and farther away from her. No matter how fast Amaria ran, she couldn't catch up to him.
She finally stopped, sinking to her knees. She had the feeling of abandonment. It felt as though her heart was being ripped out of her body, a horrible, cold feeling. Amaria couldn't stand it.
She wouldn't allow herself to be abandoned again. She frantically called out his name, "TSUZUKI!" She wept. Suddenly, she regained consciousness as a pain surged through her shoulder.
Her eyes opened up and she saw that she was strapped to a medical table. Amaria felt wetness on her face. She had been crying during her dream. A familiar voice suddenly said, "Ah, so you've awaken."
Muraki appeared and walked over to the table. "I assume you were dreaming about Mr. Tsuzuki..." Amaria didn't reply, she only stared at him. After a few moment's silence, she ventured to ask, "Why did you capture me?"
"Why, to lure Mr. Tsuzuki to me, of course. I know he cares about you and will come looking for you. Yes, my love, you will come for me." She stared at him once again, listening to his words. "Well, I must keep you quiet until then. Wouldn't want you to attempt to escape, now would we? Goodnight." The sinister smile once again played across his face. A surging pain went through her shoulder as she became unconscious once more.
