Shuuen no Shiori 4: Prologue

[whisperscrawls]

“You shouldn’t diverge from the events of the dream, you know?”



The scent of disinfectant hits my nose.

Liquid flows into my body from where wires are connected to it.

Am I alive? Being kept alive?

A pure, pure white world.


A sweet scent mixes with the air as I sense it stir.

I hear that voice again today.

I don't know what it's saying...

But it's a terribly, terribly gentle voice.

They brought flowers, told me mundane stories, and left with a final “See you later.”


And then, it returned to the usual solitude.

I hear beeping at regular intervals.

With things like this, I felt like I would slip back into a deep coma.

That's what I thought, at least.


But today, I had visitors again.

With my body unable to move, I couldn’t even open my eyes.

My consciousness was cloudy, but even then, I could tell that things felt different than usual.


4... No, 5 people?

Just like us, back then.

Those days were so fun...

Oh, I see, am I already dreaming?


“He’s someone who knows all about that.”


A boy said.


“...One of the victims from ten years ago?”


Another boy continued the conversation.


Ten years ago?

Victims?

What is he talking about?


“On the contrary...”


I see, so a very long time has passed since then.

At last, it looks like this long bonus stage is coming to an end.

The end of the extension.


Then there’s only one conclusion.

Tomorrow... No, even as soon as they leave, that conclusion will arrive.


If that’s the case...



At least, before it ends...
