Tetsuya clears his throat,


    not knowing what to say


    in such a situation.


    Ronin apologizes, “We are


    sorry, Miss Kojima.”


    “Whatever…” I roll my


    eyes, still glaring.


    “Now the food is


    awful because of


    gossip.”


    I groan in deep


    annoyance.


    Nina and Ami both


    begin to whisper


    among themselves.


    Ronin calmly sips his


    glass of red wine,


    eyeing me.


    This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.


    I ignore him entirely


    and look at Tetsuya


    who is blushing


    slightly, “I never


    saw this side of


    you before.”


    “Huh? What do you


    mean by that?”


    ……………….


    Before the memory


    could play out as


    normal,


    I become aware of


    my current reality.


    The one of death


    and nightmares.


    Everything before my


    eyes change.


    Tetsuya''s parents


    disappear without


    a trace from their


    chairs.


    The air grows cold…..


    I stare at Tetsuya


    and see his dead


    appearance.


    Along with both


    Nina and Ami.


    They''re victims too?


    That feels so eerily right


    considering that these


    two girls were mean


    to Cerise but so was


    Ronin.
