Chapter 57: Midnight Worries & Morning Awkwardness
The sky that had once shimmered in hues of dusk had deepened into an endless velvet blue, scattered with distant pinpricks of silver. The moon hung silent – a glowing sentinel watching from afar.
And Hikaru, now back home, lay in his bed. His bedsheets covered most of his body, leaving only his head and shoulders visible in the pale moonlight. He had just returned from Tottori with the other Elements, along with the newly-recruited Daichi – the Element of Earth. Daichi had been left behind at the safehouse, under the care of Satoshi and Reina.
TICK-TICK! TICK-TOCK!
The clock on his nightstand read 11:54 P.M.
Hikaru stared up at the ceiling, eyes wide open in thought.
Six.
We've finally found six Elements.
That means... only four more are left – Fire, Darkness, Air, and Steel.
I wonder what those four look like.
Then, something resurfaced from the depths of his memory.
A dream.
