THE MISSED SPIRITS

[0-5] - Sora Yoshikawa's Introduction

The hallways are well-lit.

The lights don't give off an ominous vibe, but the feeling is still the same.

I look behind me as I keep walking.

...

RENJIRO KATO: "Yeah, I'm here. What's up?"

HARUKI KISHIMOTO: "Just... making sure you were still with me."

RENJIRO KATO: "Of course~!"

HARUKI KISHIMOTO: "Shut up."

We kept walking around the hallways, looking every which direction to find the room we were "supposed" to go to.

!!!

???: "Oh, look. Hello there."

RENJIRO KATO: "Hey, uhm... are you trying to find that meeting hall as well?"

???: "Luckily for you both, I already know where it is."

"I can lead you both there if you want."

RENJIRO KATO: "Yeah, Nao told us that's where we're supposed to be."

???: "It is. I think we need to have everyone gathered for it to start."

!!!

HARUKI KISHIMOTO: "I'm sorry... it?"

???: "The 'ceremony' is what they are calling it. I just picked up the name from a few people."

HARUKI KISHIMOTO: "Yeah, I see... But, uhm... could you bring us there?"

???: "I can. I was actually looking for other people to see if they were lost."

RENJIRO KATO: "Let's go then!"

???: "Ah, but first..."

"I must tell you something."

HARUKI KISHIMOTO: "What is it?"

???: "I'm Sora Yoshikawa. Contestant number 5."

...

RENJIRO KATO: "Sora! Got it!"

SORA YOSHIKAWA: "And you both must be...?"

RENJIRO KATO: "Renjiro Kato! Contestant 30!"

HARUKI KISHIMOTO: "Haruki Kishimoto... Contestant #1."

...

SORA YOSHIKAWA: "Great. Follow me, please."

She turned back the way she was coming from.

Renjiro, almost as excited as he can be, followed her close behind.

...

I still don't get what the fuck's going on.

I wish someone would just... explain to me.

Ceremony? What the hell is that?!

Everyone's supposed to be gathered in one room as well...

Sora says everyone's required to be there in order for everything to continue.

But... I just don't believe it.

What the fuck did I just get myself into.

...

I then followed Renjiro.
