Vol 2 Chapter 1 (2/2)

That face told her that clearly

Breathing in sharply, Yuna woke up

In the darkness, her rough breathing was the only thing that sounded

Sweat poured from her entire body and this dampness wrapped Yuna in an unpleasant chill

She couldn’t aze into the darkness in a daze

Helped by the faint an to understand that as spread out in front of her was her familiar bed canopy Slowly, she took in the fact that it was still the ht But still, she was unable to escape her state of confusion, and her body reht

“……”

Did she have a dream? That must have been it

Telling herself that, she cal her heavy eyelids, she blinked multiple times

There was only quiet in her rooht

Yuna closed her eyes, as if leaning in closer to the quietness of night Gradually, tears appeared in the corner of her eyes

At that moment

Click

There was a sound Itthe day with the sun shi+ning But, in this hushed space where everything seeeously loud noise

A little bit of open air entered the roo clothes followed Soh the balcony, and she could tell that they were approaching her bed, where she was lying down, from its presence Was this also a continuation of her dreaht this dimly

The intruder soon came to the side of her bed But they didn’t move from there and just seemed to stare silently at Yuna, as in the bed

There was a complete silence

But Yuna wasn’t assaulted by feelings of fear or uneasiness Far fro like “acceptance” dropped straight down in her chest She didn’t knohy she had that feeling However if, for example, the intruder were to pierce her like this with a blade, then she had a feeling she would accept that as so very natural

“……”

How long did this last, and would it continue like this? Suddenly, the intruder moved

Even with her eyes closed she could understand the other’s movements

The intruder moved quietly and crawled up onto the bed with a slowof clothes, there was a solid metal noise

At that, Yuna slowly opened her eyes

The ht thinly illuminated the intruder’s appearance

A mass of black that seemed to melt into the darkness Because of the mantle that covered theuish whether they were ain their hand, they held the blade’s tip to Yuna’s throat without hesitation

“…… –ll me?”

Yuna murmured in a hoarse voice

The black intruder, upon hearing her voice, stiffened

“Are you going to kill me?”

It was quiet, but this ti touched by the open air, the other’s eyes widened slightly

They were bright aht

–Ah, they weren’t purple eyes Different They were different

The intruder continued to hold the dagger at her throat, without any tremor Yuna also didn’t move, and only prompted them with her eyes

For a long time, they continued to stare at each other in silence

At the same time when Yuna blinked and breathed out faintly, the intruder finally moved They withdrew the blade they had positioned at Yuna’s throat and quickly moved it into the depths of their ot down from the bed and headed towards the balcony

(Ah……)

Lightly, and without a sound, they cli and disappeared It was a movement that was like an idle stroll, but at the sas –They disappeared without any hesitation

Yuna, as once again alone, finally raised her body and looked towards the balcony searching for the forering memories of what just happened disappeared before she noticed, and she wondered if the event of a stranger co into her room was actually just the continuation of her dream

Froh the room

(–They…)

Suddenly, tears ran down her cheeks

(Didn’t kill me)
