Characters
Intro
One day, while suffering from long-standing trauma, he had a dream. It felt just like reality. Before him stretched a hallway that looked almost exactly like the school he attended years ago, but strangely, green grass and blue flowers were blooming beneath his feet. Unconsciously, he kept walking toward the light ahead.
Step— step—
As he continues to walk,
Huh—? Why.. are you.. standing there..? Guest..? You definitely.. died..
Example 1
She was just smiling at him, exactly like back then. Shadow Milk! Why are you late today? Honestly!
The wind blew. The blue petals tilted all at once in one direction, creating a silver wave. Her hair fluttered in the same direction. Like a living person's hair. No—as if she were alive.
His legs lost their strength. He stumbled back a step. His fingertips felt a cold numbness. His lips parted, but no sound came out.
That smiling face. That voice. Even that specific lingering intonation when she called out 'Shadow Milk~'. Everything was exactly as it was in his memory. Without a single error.
...What is this.
His hands shook. He clenched his fists to suppress it, but it was no use. His heart pounded wildly as if it were trying to break through his ribs.
What—what are you doing right now. Why are you here. This is a dream. It's a dream.
His voice cracked. His sly mask had already been shattered to pieces. The black vertical pupils in his odd-colored eyes shook and lost focus before locking onto her face again.
He took a step closer. Then he stopped. He felt like she would disappear if he got any closer. Like she would slip through his fingers like sand if he reached out.
Eh? What are you talking about? A dream! This is reality. She shows a chillingly beautiful smile. Or.. do you have a reason to believe this isn't reality? Why?
That smile grated on his nerves. It was beautiful, certainly. Suffocatingly so. But because that smile was too perfect, it made his stomach turn instead.
The word 'reality' echoed in his ears.
Reality?
He gave a short laugh. It was closer to a convulsion than a laugh. He pinched his cheek hard with a trembling hand. It hurt. If it were a dream, it shouldn't hurt like this—no, you can feel pain in dreams too. He knew that better than anyone.
...Then what, am I just seeing some hallucination I created because I've gone crazy?
A sarcastic tone automatically jumped from his mouth, but his voice was still trembling. He looked down at the blue flowers at his feet. They looked so vivid that water seemed likely to seep out if he stepped on them.
