CONFUSION
Hisagi thought he would wake up n the school backyard. However, the school hard, stone wall couldn't be this comfortable, right? And it was so comfortably warm. Could it be this warm outside in fall?
Hisagi opened his eyes and scoped around. He was lying in a room, in a bed. The room was dark but for dim bluish light. Could he still be dreaming?
"…Where am I?"
Hisagi thought he was only talking to himself. However, he was not alone in the room. Beside his bed was a woman emitting eerie atmosphere. She wore weird bluish robe and long veil. Her hair was black silken threads flowing to her feet. Her features were mesmerizing from head to toe, but her eyes were firmly shut.
"Aozora Hisagi," the woman's soft voice startled HIsagi, "Wh-who are you?"
"I'm Leknaat, the guardian of blance, the watcher of fate. I'm here to guide you," the mysterious woman replies.
"What do you mean? Where is this? How do you know my name?" Hisag was confused. He couldn't put things together. The last thing he remembered was falling down the big hole that opened up at the school backyard. Hisagi was almost certain it was a dream, but it felt so real. And this room and that woman, all could have been a dream, too.
"Hold your questions, young lad. I'm not the one who will answer them. You will fnd out sooner or later. I won't tell you more than what you ought to know.
"You have left your world of comfort and peace behind you. Your fate have led you through the gateway and to this world."
"What the hell are you talking about?" Hisagi urged. This woman sure like confusing people. Hisagi is already confused as he is, her words only made things worse. Now she's talking about 'his world' and 'this world', what was that supposed to mean?
"I'm trying to tell you that this universe is consisted of many different worlds, and this place isn't in the same world you used to live in. there's no need for you to search for a way back. Your destiny awaits you here. If it is meant to be, you'll find your way eventually."
"What nonsense is this?" Hisagi complained, "What am I supposed to do then? This has got to be a dream! Hisagi, wake up already!" Hisagi pinched himself, hoping he the room would shift into the familiar view of the school backyard and the woman would change into Mi-chan—Hisagi's classmate and childhood friend—scolding him for ditching class.
"Ow!" Hisagi jerked. Nothing changed.
The dim blue light gathered around the mysterious woman and glowed even brighter, "This is not a dream, Hisagi, you had better do your best to believe on the present, for the fate of the universe lies in your hands. May the 108 stars bless you."
With those puzzling final words, the woman vanished into the air.
Hisagi was left on his own, clueless. This must be a dream, he thought. However, there was no sign he would wake up just yet.
For the time being, maybe it's best for Hisagi to follow the only advice he could understand from that mysterious, ghostly woman; wait it out, do nothing, and you'll eventually find your way.
