I opened my eyes to the faint glow of the train car’s interior, the rhythmic clatter of wheels on tracks humming in the background.
My gaze immediately found the same child from my dream—the trembling boy who had tried and failed to cut the thread of my consciousness.
He stood frozen, his small frame pressed against the wall, his eyes wide with fear as they darted between me and the sleeping forms around us.
I turned my head to the side and saw Mitsuri still deep in her sleep, her chest rising and falling gently. Her pink and green hair spilled over the seat, giving her an angelic, almost serene appearance—except for the bizarre murmurs that escaped her lips.
"No, I can’t eat anymore, Shinobu-san. Here, here, eat," she muttered, her tone halfway between pleading and insistence.
I arched an eyebrow, a small smirk tugging at the corners of my lips. "What is she dreaming about?" I wondered aloud. Whatever it was, it seemed oddly food-centric.
My gaze shifted back to the boy. His hands were clenched tightly at his sides, his knuckles white. He hadn’t moved a muscle since I woke, like a deer caught in headlights.
With a casual flick of my wrist, I gestured for him to speak. "What is it, boy?" I asked, my voice low but firm, carrying just enough weight to snap him out of his frozen state.
