"Ah!!!!!!!!"
A sharp, piercing soprano cut through the soundproof walls, reaching the room deep within the second floor.
The sound was mournful, like a wail of resentment and longing, of weeping and accusation, its echo lingering.
In truth, all Haru and Alice heard was the endless sorrow and panic, the kind of terror one would feel stumbling upon a real ghost in the middle of a late-night horror movie.
"Aoko," Alice’s pupils constricted, her voice a shocked whisper. Though the high-pitched scream was hoarse from its sheer volume, she couldn’t mistake the unique charm of Aoko Aozaki’s voice.
Alice instinctively thought an enemy had attacked.
But then she reconsidered. Even if an enemy had attacked, Aoko, with her nascent magus’s resolve, wouldn’t have let out such a desperate wail. She would have met them with a cold smile and a barrage of magic bullets.
That was her style.
This was the kind of scream a little girl would let out upon seeing a caterpillar or a big rat. It was completely out of character for Aoko.
Unless, something had happened to her, something that had filled her with an immense terror.
