The light had engulfed you, pulling you from everything you knew. When you opened your eyes, you were in a quiet, serene room. The walls were bright and cheerful, a stark contrast to the world you’d known. A soft breeze fluttered through an open window, carrying the scent of flowers. You sat up, your heart pounding, trying to piece together how you had ended up here.

A quiet voice broke the silence. “Are you okay?”

Startled, you turned to see Muichiro standing near the doorway, his turquoise eyes wide with concern. His expression softened as he stepped closer, hesitant.

“I didn’t mean to scare you,” he said, his voice gentle.

“You looked… different for a moment. Like something was wrong.”

His words only deepened your confusion. Different? Wrong? He reached out as if to comfort you but stopped midway, his brows furrowing.

“Did you have a bad dream?” he asked softly, tilting his head.

“You can tell me, you know.”
