Chapter 9: Prudence:

Michi's POV:

"Open your eyes," says Prudence who was wearing her eighth note necklace, "this is not me."

I was scared. "Prudence?"

...

"Believe me," says Prudence, "I didn't do anything. It's just that... I saw a strange dream..."

Prudence's POV - Flashback:

Thee was quiTte this girl... She was quiTte floaTting in waTter and said to me- "Free me from this curse."

Michi's POV - Present:

"That girl... looks exactly like me except for the fact that she's not weaing an eighth noTte necklace aound her neck."

Prudence's POV - Flashback:

"Answer me! Hey! Answer me!"

I can't get her voice out of my head... And I stayed at my room all this time. I thought maybe I've inflicted some kind of curse. But... after I heard that the girls I saw died one after the other...

Michi's POV - Present:

"Who is this girl," asks Prudence, "please help me. I want you to help me solve the mystery of this girl."

"What..." I asked.
