Well hello! This is A new goal-fanfiction's new chapter. See ya the next chapter.
Natsuki walked out of the laundry room in her home, which had light gray tiled walls and floors, a brown ceiling, and a ceiling light. The laundry room had a shower stall on the right wall with a hand shower that Natsuki had recently closed, and a rod on the ceiling with a light blue shower curtain. There was a sink on the back wall of the room, a mirror on the wall behind it, and a toilet seat to the left of the sink with a toilet paper holder on the wall to the left of it. A hand towel was on the towel rack on the wall to the right of the sink, and a trash can was on a shelf under the sink. There was a small gray floor grate on the floor. On the wall to the right of the laundry room was the room's light switch, and a ceiling light on the ceiling. In front of the wall on the left of the room was a light brown seat, right next to the door frame.
Natsuki was wearing purple pajamas, and she had wrapped a white towel around her hair, and she had brown slippers on her feet.
The towel rack was on the wall on the right side of the room, where there was a floor mop leaning against the corner, and on the wall above it was an air conditioning button that activated the bathroom vacuum cleaner to suck out the moisture in the bathrooms.
Natsuki had recently taken a shower, and after cleaning the bathrooms, she went into the living room and sat on the couch to think about the recent disappearances.
"Where are you now, Hikari?" Natsuki thought, as she sat on the couch.
"I tried to send Hikari an email earlier, but I couldn't send it. Either there's something wrong with the internet connection, or the city where Hikari now lives is completely isolated from the outside world," Natsuki thought, as she turned on the TV.
"A boy named Kurosaki Taki disappeared yesterday in the capital of Tokushima Prefecture on the island of Shikoku, and now Tokushima is completely isolated from the rest of Japan, as an invisible wall seems to surround it," The news anchor announced, and a picture of a 17-year-old boy with brown hair, violet eyes, and tanned skin appeared on the television. He was tall, and athletic. He was wearing Kendo clothes.
"A new missing person?!" Natsuki was surprised, and went to the room where she had put up a map she had recently bought.
Natsuki turned on the lights, and wrote Kurosaki Taki's name on a sticky note, and pinned it to Tokushima on the map of Japan, and drew a line with red marker that connected the other places where people had disappeared.
"Someone is just running away from home, or the missing ones have been kidnapped, or something else," Natsuki thought, walked out of the room, and turned off the lights.
Natsuki walked to the living room window, and looked out the window at the people walking on the street, and the Christmas lights visible in the windows of the houses. It was snowing outside.
"What exactly is going on, because now is supposed to be the time of year when we are happy? Hikari, and the other missing girls had troubles, so could that missing boy have some troubles too?" Natsuki thought.
Natsuki felt bad, when she thought that Hikari would not spend this Christmas at home with his family, like Hikari used to do every Christmas.
